Like at the very bottom. Self-care is never a priority when there is so much to do, right? Self-care feels like a luxury that only the "rich" get to experience. And I've heard from the men, too, it's not limited to just us "farm gals." Self-care becomes a priority:

• AFTER we make our husband's lunch…
• AFTER we get the kids ready for school…
• AFTER we tend to the cows… chickens... customers...
• AFTER all of our "other" responsibilities are met…

Which honestly, leaves zero time for ourselves. But what if I told you that after years of putting myself dead last, it was no wonder I was resentful, tired and ready to quit. Today, with all I've learned about the dangers of neglecting self-care, I now make time for myself. On today's podcast, I share how I've made this mindset shift and what it had done for me, my family and the farm's profits.

We help our neighbors, aging parents, young children and farm animals that need tending to, all to be left with an empty tank at the end of the day. We constantly tell ourselves that "we don't have time for marketing" and that "the day is always getting away" from us no matter how hard we try to set boundaries and manage our day. It's a common problem that we all face and today on the Profitable Mindset Podcast, I'm sharing how I've personally gotten hold of how I spend my time and I finally feel in control of my day.

Most farmers think they don't need a "brand," or if they do, branding consists of a logo, website, tagline, mission statement - or maybe all your followers on social media.

So if you want to know it takes to build a brand, this episode is for you.

This can be a hard time of year for many farmers because it's coooooold outside for most of the country. Wouldn't it be nice if we could slow down, rest and enjoy indoor activities with the family?

When was the last time you had a few hours to yourself? Alone. Quiet. Without interruptions? You're probably rolling your eyes and thinking… yeah, right… that world doesn't happen. Stress. Burnout. Overwhelm. Ready to quit. Ring a bell? It gets to all of us. We're constantly running around and working ourselves to the bone. It's not healthy and the overwhelm, burnout and constant state of stress can lead to serious health problems if you're not careful. In today's episode of the Profitable Mindset, I'll be sharing my top way on How to Reduce Stress and Anxiety on the farm. I'll share my 3 things that will help inlcuding an exercise I do daily for my own self-coaching. When you learn this, you'll be on your way to feeling good about running a successful, profitable farm with ease.
