90% of my focus is on Holler Roast Right Now
A work on podcast schedule: Dec 19 is the last show for 2023 aside from the Night Before Christmas series

Main topic of the Show:

Usually when I talk about this topic, I am explaining how to transform your home from something that costs you money into something that brings YOU money - or at least pays for itself. A cornerstone of homesteading is finding ways to create value from your home no matter if you have 20 acres and a flock of sheep or if you live on a small urban lot or apartment, there are ways to glean value from your home.

But today, we have a different perspective. Remember how I said it is the many small choices you make each day that matter much more than the ones that seem huge?

>Roaster story vs. spending an extra hour each day communicating about what Holler Roast has to offer for the holidays

>Building a root cellar vs making your meal plan each day or week BEFORE you are hungry

Which brings me to today's true purpose: Your home provides a solid foundation for your success when done right, and it can hinder your progress if done poorly. #funfacts

Look at power couples: often one addresses the domestic foundation either through personal attention or outsourcing so that the other is freed to focus on financial success - but both are successful at what they do.

Each day, we need some things to happen and this list can be different for everyone, but there are themes:

Proper sleep and activity
Nutritious food and hydration
Clean clothing, grooming, etc
Systems for finding information, managing things that happen

And for the solopreneur: Uninterrupted time to accomplish important tasks (I would say this is necessary for everyone, really) which means nOt hAvinG tO Put oUt fYres aLL tHe thYme.)

Why I am thinking about this topic:

I had things set pretty much

Why is this a thing?

CEO Story: Leaving on trips to close deals - the extreme example
Home chef for Scott - the intermediate example
Your domestic situation vastly impacts your day. It sets wether you are tired, healthy, put together, worried and so much more - so while it may seem counter intuitive, puttin attention to your home and how it supports your priorities is rarely discussed but very important.

Thoughts on a MESSY vs a CLEANY and how to transform your home into something that works for you (Choose standards you are OK with vs museum standards – or embrace your museumness)

Things you can do to address this - my initial list while I put my life back together

Follow One Course Until Successful
- Email
- Bill and filing system
- Laundry mountain
- The one messy room
- Backlog balance
- Remember to eat on plan
- Etc
Journaling to identify what is most important - it may be personal habits, it may be a spatial issue
You make space for what is important to you - are you making space for success or failure
