I used to wake up every night about 1:30-2:00 AM and just toss and turn for the next couple of hours, worrying about my farm, family, and my to-do's. It wasn't even productive or useful because I wasn't actually doing anything! I was just looping & spinning. But I couldn't stop it, either. Then, I'd wake up on time in the morning, but groggy and tired. I thought it was normal because most of my friends had the same struggle! I thought it was just how life was as a busy farmer + parent + managing the house and business. It sucked, though, to be tired a lot of the time. I knew it wasn't productive but I didn't know how to stop it. I actually thought it was just how life was going to be, forever. I even had friends advise me to drink alcohol before bed and then I'd sleep straight through... didn't work, though! Then my other friend said she takes Tylenol PM every night... People suggested melatonin and magnesium and specific teas. I tried it all. Nothing worked and I wondered "is this all there is in life for the next 30 years?" Then I found the work that I'm teaching you today. What I'm teaching you today changed my life and now my clients are able to improve their sleep and they've shut off the daytime spinning and looping, too! One of the hugest payoffs to stopping the spinning & looping that goes on in my clients' heads is they find 10-20 MORE hours in their weeks. And I want this for you, too! Today's podcast episode will help you stop the spinning and looping in its tracks! Implement the steps, practice them, and then let me know how you do! This is something I coach on regularly, too - if you're not yet a client - this podcast will get you on your way to managing how you think so you can create way more time and success.

To put it another way, if you're not happy with the amount of sales or the money, or profit you're making in your business, you've got to work on your mind to improve those results. Many farmers have success at first but then they plateau. That plateau is feedback you've got to take the next step and work on yourself, not on the website or infrastructure or hiring or expanding. It's not the external circumstances that will get you to success - it's self-awareness of how your thoughts are causing you to struggle and then how to shift them to be more useful. This may sound easy - but like most really worthwhile endeavors, it's not. But it IS the solution to building a profitable farm - whatever that looks like to you. Some farmers have very small operations and just want to pay their expenses and maybe have some spending money left over for family fun. Other farmers are trying to make a living solely from farming. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, the process is the same. You've got to get your thoughts, emotions and actions in order and in alignment to be able to create the results you want. That result may be a specific dollar amount in the bank or some other measurable goal. Today's podcast episode will get you on your way.

There are so many lives to be changed with your products and events. What steals your success and keeps you from having the impact you want to have are decisions made from non-productive thoughts about your ability to market and your marketing. Most of you create your marketing from non-useful thoughts like - it "will be easier to sell..."

• With sales and discounts
• Cheaper prices
• If I find the right person to do my marketing
• Lots of variety of products and bundles of products
• Multiple offers in your newsletters for them to buy a variety of products/services
• Or, you ask people what they want to buy and you decide what you'll raise/grow/sell based on that

You choose your prices based on your "worth," mistaking personal value with business value. These un-useful/unproductive thoughts cause you to create unproductive marketing that doesn't connect or sell. Your farm is struggling. So then you think you need to change website platforms, you think you need to add or change to a different breed or variety, causing even more money outflow and loss. You soon don't make enough sales of anything to get to profit. I am coaching you to find your un-useful thoughts and change them, one negative thought at a time.

She needed them SOLD and gone. She'd been in my program for a while, she had her email marketing in place, and had learned to nurture her list. But hadn't been focused on talking about hogs, so was hoping to at least sell a half-hog and free up even a tiny bit of space. She put together a quick email to send before her NYE gathering and forgot about it. Imagine her surprise after midnight when she decided to check on the email before going to bed - tears rolled down her cheeks when she realized she sold every last hog! Click the play button and listen to the whole story! Selling out with one email gives her even more confidence knowing she can sell every last thing on her farm - just by changing her thoughts. By intentionally practicing thoughts that serve her by driving the action of making sales. She and her husband are finally making money and now feel blessed to be spending time building their dreams instead of just trying to make ends meet. She used to have to juggle the bills and decide which she should pay this month and which she could put off till next month. Now, life has become so fulfilling for their family - "I'm very aware how much I'm changing customers' lives by what we're doing." "We're giving life to our community, our people." "Our local farm community has seen us become profitable and they're asking us what are we doing - how did we become profitable? And they're seeing hope that they, too, can learn mindsets that will get them to profit." Arlene says, "I'm an example of what's possible to all the farmers around us! I'm giving them hope there's a better way." "Now I've created so much demand through using your marketing mindsets and strategies that I have to get coached on the new problem of finally making money and dealing with all this success!"

I'm hearing that farmers in communities all around the world are looking at the 5X Your Farm Sales farmers and wondering how in the world these farmers are making a profit AND doing it with ease, when they --- neighbors --- are struggling to pay the bills and often LOSING money every year. Today's interview is an example of just how my clients are finally making money with way more ease and balance. And the farm community around her is noticing. Hear from Brittany about how she more than 5X'd her farm sales this past year after joining the coaching program. She now makes more money than her husband, a medical director, and they've been able to follow through on their 13 year dream you'll hear about on the podcast. She's able to make all their dreams come true because of the time she's learned to create through coaching, the life balance, and the money she's able to make using all the other resources in the program. You'll be inspired. But don't be tempted to sell the farm and move to Hawaii where it averages 80 degrees year 'round... I asked and she says it's not as romantic as it sounds. ;) Brittany is just one example of what's possible in your life when you commit to doing the hardest work you'll ever do and learning the skills and mindsets to build a profitable farm. Hardest work - yes. But the most fulfilling and valuable work you'll ever do, as Brittany explains. See you in Episode 111.

This week a client got on a coaching call and said she was part of an email thread in her area with a bunch of farmers saying you can't make a living farming. (All because THEY weren't making a living farming.) And she was feeling stuck thinking she would never get to profit. She wasn't raising her prices when she believed this discussion. Yet she knows in our group we have farmer after farmer reporting increased profits, increase revenue, reaching bigger sales goals than ever before. She wondered who to believe. THIS is why mindset work is so important: if you surround yourself with failing farmers telling their sad story of going broke, then that's what you'll believe. And that's what you will create on your farm. IF you want to be successful, surround yourself with farmers like the 5X coaching clients who are learning to create profitable farms. Today's podcast is an example of what's possible for you when you learn the marketing skills and mindsets I teach. I invited several farmers to share their favorite changes in their businesses and lives since starting this program. THIS is how you make success inevitable - surround yourself with other farmers and study their mindsets. And unsubscribe from those lists of people sharing about how it's not possible! My clients in 5X Your Farm Sales are selling out in 12 hours in one case, one email in another case, and one week of emails for others. This is just the beginning of their successes! Tune in to hear how they're making more money with more calm and peace than ever before. Hear from one farmer who's been self-critical her whole life and how that's shifting today and has changed EVERYTHING about her life AND marriage AND business. If you've ever thought maybe you're too old to learn how to turn your farm around, you'll hear from Carole, age 70, who's ecstatic at the success she's creating in her farm business and her personal life. Tune in today and hear what's possible when you surround yourself with successful people.

In my conversation with Scott Shepherd this week we go very deep into the subjects of marketing and mindset and how you can't have a successful, profitable farm with ease without mastery of your mindset. You'll walk away from this episode with a lot of knowledge but also feeling super inspired and confident. There are many gems you can start incorporating into your business:

• the key to raising your prices with ease and not losing customers
• how to insure people will buy no matter how much you charge
• how to overcome shame and that "not good enough" feeling that show up when you try to make big decisions
• how to overcome feeling guilty for charging a higher than average price
• the one thing your business needs from you to be successful.
• The key to building connection even if you don't meet people in person

Our conversation will inspire you to finally stop playing small in your life and on your farm and decide to overcome all obstacles you thought were keeping you stuck. Here's a text I got from a listener this morning: "Charlotte helps you identify your personal limits and finally move beyond them." Listen to Episode 109 and level up your life now.

So far in 2022, I've had several farmers in my 5X Your Farm Sales Coaching Program make more money in one week than they made previously in months of marketing. All because they're learning how to create focused sales launches. I taught a masterclass inside 5X Your Farm Sales this week and it lays out step-by-step how to do it. When you join in April that class is waiting for you! Why do a 5-day sales launch? When you limit sales to focused daily emails for a week, you create energy, momentum, and commitment for customers to buy. These emotions make it easier for people to buy - so you end up making a lot more sales in that week, with more ease on your part, than if you emailed weekly for several months. My clients are selling farm products, subscriptions, services, classes - everything sells better with a focused launch! This means, after the 5-day sales launch, you can get back to trust-building. This trust-building you do in between sales launches creates the result of customers buying anything you have to sell at the higher-than-average prices we need to charge as small independent business owners. Listen to Episode 108 and learn the what/why/how particulars of the 5-day sales launch. Then decide - who will you have to become to be a person who implements 5-day sales launches? And THAT is what coaching is for - to up-level your brain to become skilled at following through on creating and executing marketing that works to bring you more sales than ever before.

Click HERE to Get on the Waitlist for 5X Your Farm Sales This week a farmer asked for coaching because she has writer's block and often feels stuck when she sits down to write. Yet she knows her farm's success depends on her being able to write emails to sell, descriptions on her website that will sell, social media posts that will sell. And yet when she feels blocked and uninspired, the result is sales are slow and difficult because of this writer's block which is not allowing her to write. Ugh! It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Her writer's block assures no sales emails will go out, or if they do, they were exhausting to write and ineffective. Today's podcast episode will walk you through how to overcome writer's block and general lack of inspiration or enthusiasm around marketing. In episode 107 you'll learn:

• The sneaky way you keep yourself stuck and blocked
• Why you don't feel inspired when you sit down to write
• How to create the feeling of inspiration when you need it

You might think, oh I just need some writing prompts or a template. THEN I'll be able to get over writer's block. I have so many writing prompts in my marketing program. I even have lessons on copywriting. But this is why coaching is crucial - you can't do the thing you KNOW you have to do if you're creating a feeling of stuck for yourself. You won't be able to take action when you're stuck. You've got to solve for that first. Instead, I teach you the skill of being able to write on demand - which is learning to create inspiration or focus, whatever emotion you need, when you need it. Listen to Episode 107 now and learn how to overcome writer's block. Charlotte
