About this episode
Why Most People Never Start (Ep. 178) | Homesteading, Perfectionism & The Excuses That Hold You BackDESCRIPTIONIt's not that people don't want to grow their own food or stop handing money to the supermarket every week — nobody wants that. Somewhere along the way, "getting started" turns into a huge, all-or-nothing thing in their head, and that's what actually stops them. This week I pull apart the excuses I hear all the time (not enough land, not enough time, I'll mess it up, I'll start when things settle down), why none of them hold up, and what starting small and imperfectly actually looks like.Plus a farm update, big news on my second book, and a first look at the 5-Day Ditch The Store Challenge running September 14–18.
