Are you waiting on an inheritance, a government program, or the bank to finally let you farm "for real"? In this episode, Mary Jo shows how that thinking is exactly what's holding you back, and how Nelson Nash warned us about it years ago.

In Episode 329, Mary Jo dives into Nelson Nash's second book, "Building Your Warehouse of Wealth," and unpacks why how you think about money, wealth, and government programs determines everything about your financial future.

From government "police actions" to farm programs and waiting on Mom & Dad's land, she connects Nelson's ideas, Austrian economics, and real farm/ranch stories to show why the top 3% think — and act — differently.

If you've ever said, "Farming is too hard," "I'll never get a chance without the bank," or "I'm just waiting for my share," this episode is your wake-up call.

Key Takeaways ◦ How you think is everything – your mindset around money and wealth literally dictates your results. ◦ Government programs change behavior and keep people standing in line for handouts instead of producing. ◦ Jealousy kills curiosity – as soon as you resent someone successful, you stop asking how they did it. ◦ Top 3% vs the 97% – the top performers are actively learning, reading, traveling, and thinking for themselves. ◦ Stop waiting for inheritance – go lease ground, get an off-farm job, build your own base instead of hoping. ◦ Infinite Banking is a concept first, numbers second – Nelson's second book is all about changing how you think. ◦ You become what you think about – Earl Nightingale, Nelson Nash, and basic human behavior all agree on this.
