After 10 years of homesteading, we wish we had started differently. The biggest mistake that we made was thinking that we could generate real income from unscalable, labor-intensive homestead products. This year, we are making a real change. I am going back to the things that I know generate real income while putting some things on the homestead in "idle mode." Finances are the last key to completing our homestead goals.

Resilience is not built through fear or panic. It is built through reasonable, balanced action over time. Focus on taking the next right step, even when we cannot see the whole path. That might mean learning a practical homestead skill, building a small emergency fund, improving your pantry, developing a skill that could also increase your income, or simply becoming more prepared than you were yesterday. Resilience begins when you stop waiting for perfect conditions and start strengthening your household with what you have right now. One of the things we are doing right now to become more resilient is selling or giving away material things and doing less, so that I can focus on making a course for our community. This will give us another income stream and also allow me to do what I love while serving people.
