    Back in 2010 I told a "friend" I wanted to buy some land and build a shed/tiny home and make it solar-powered and grow my own food. He said, "Man, why do you want to be a hermit?". Then I second guessed and doubted myself and ended up not doing it. I regret now telling that guy (I don't even talk to him anymore).
    Be careful who you tell your plans to. Remember that some people want you to do well, but some of them never want you to be better off than them.
    Don't let anyone talk you out of it.

      Well Teka I would flip my mindset..... Instead of telling people, "I want to do this" or "I'm thinking of doing this" or "I have this cool idea of doing this".....
      INSTEAD tell everyone, "I AM GOING TO BUY SOME LAND, build a mortgage free and debt free life, and grow and raise my own food because someday people are going to need a source for healthy nutrient dense food.... AND I AM GOING TO DO IT!!!!!"
      Make that commitment out loud to everyone you know. That way THEY will hold you accountable for you to achieve that dream.
      And then write it down on a piece of paper, and tape it to your bathroom mirror where you brush your teeth every morning and night. And WATCH!!!! It will begin to happen because it is there in front of you waiting for you to take action!

    I know one thing, starting to get on land or homestead or be self sufficient whatever you want to call it isn't easy. Long story short I created a 3-5 year plan and ran it by my wife. Already saved for a modest piece of land at this point. Bought the land cash and started to pay for things one item at a time. Got the well last year septic and foundation this year. It can be done in stages. If all goes as planned house next year. Along with first animals. I'll be building it myself. Maybe you'll see us here lol. Lots of work, but nothing worth anything is easy! Even once the house is built then starts the next 3-5 year plan of infrastructure. Work in stages, it's so much easier and less of a financial burden all at once.

    I'm a fan of the channel generally, but this video is extremely misleading and click-baity. This video does not at any point teach you how to do anything "with no money". It's basically just telling you that you're going to need it in order to Homestead, so you need to start looking for ways to earn it and keep it while you are making your plans and learning how you want to spend it. This felt more like an infomercial for the book and abundance+ than a video that was trying to provide actual value. I offer this feedback in the hopes that the channel doesn't continue too far down that path, as I certainly don't have an interest in watching more videos of that nature and I'm sure I'm not alone. Hope it's helpful, and I look forward to more of the videos I've enjoyed in the past.

      Again, I REALLY REALLY do want to help people!!! Which I was hoping that being the reason for this video, and I am very sorry that you did not find it helpful. But let’s dive deeper if possible!

      There's nothing in there that is really specified towards homesteading. Granted, it is good advice, it is just general advice. There really isn't any steps on how to do it.

      Ok so now we are getting somewhere. So you say “There isn’t any real advise on how to do it.”
      May I ask you, “how to do what?”
      Homestead? Like advise on how to grow food? Or to maximize the output of your chicken flock to get the most eggs? Or how to raise pastured pigs to get delicious bacon?
      Or are you saying that there is no advise on “how to buy land?”

      I am sure that you can understand that I can’t cover EVERYTHING in a single video…. Which I did say in the video, right? I said that “I can’t cover all of the details, this will be a basic and general discussion of basic life skills. And if there are people that like this video I can GO DEEPER.”
      Which there are many people that say they want me to go deeper into this topic.

      As for the bottom comment, yes. A deeper dive into any of these subjects would be great instead of a generalized video like this one in my honest opinion.
      There are so many general advice videos out there, but so few that actually dive deep into the actual process of achieving these goals and spreading information on how to do it. I think that would be great, but just my opinion.

    When you bought you homestead, did you buy it with a mortgage or save up for it? I’m a college student and want to homestead. I won’t have very much money, but am hoping I’ll make it through college debt free. I will for the first two year and am hoping I will save enough for the 3rd and 4th year. Homesteading is my dream it’s just hard to do while also paying for my college classes.

    I highly recommend buying land as far north as your goals allow. It's so much cheaper to buy land in the northeast than the central south. The problem, of course, is the cold for plants and animals. The second is property taxes. But other than that, it is worth it to stay north if you can

    My wife and I have toyed with buying land for the last couple of years. We left the missions field in 2020 because of, well you know...and we now have two kiddos.
    We both finally landed decent jobs with decent income. Luckily we have no debt except our car and house. We have about $5,000 saved up so far.
    My goal isn't really agricultural, but we definitely will do something farm/ranch related. We both got hands on training in 2019 with goats, chickens, & pigs. We're tired of the suburban life and want more space and privacy. I think we will start by getting land and using recreationally. I also really want something to pass on to my kids and their kids.

    Can't say that Graham stephen was helpful at all in that video. That was not for people with real problems. That was for able bodied single people who never had enough of a clue to save or invest and never hustled enough to get some extra income. That was pretty... well it wasn't good. But he's obviously a sales and PR type; act excited and get lots of viewers and be super confident and charismatic no matter what. Who cares if you're actually helping or hurting. Who cares if you're saying anything worthwhile. I grew up with the world's best salesman for a dad. He had better ethics than most so at least he sold something real that was a real benefit to the people who bought it. But.... Well I'm mostly immune to a lot of versions of BS, especially the empty BS like just telling people what they should have been taught by the time they were 12. Hence why I tend to not click on the "youtube face" thumbnails that half the good homesteading channels have degraded themselves to doing now instead of being the best they can be with good content. I'm looking for a real life.

    Where did you get the money to buy everything

    • @BetterTogetherLife
      @BetterTogetherLife  3 года назад

      Well, I don’t want to be a “smarty pants”….. but we LEARNED how to make money.
      1) In 2008 we figured out how to keep a steady job for my wife. It paid $30k, but we were in debt $30k.
      2) we lived on NOTHING! No joke I can not eat a black bean and cheese taco anymore….. because it tastes like DEBT! And that is what we lived off of. Dave Ramsey’s baby steps to get out of debt.
      3) we began to grow my video production business. We grew it from $0 to $20k, then to $30k, then to $40k, then to $50k, etc
      4) We never raised our monthly living expenses until we were out of debt, and then once we were out we SAVED SAVED SAVED for a 20% down payment on a suburban home.
      5) Kelly was fired from her job (at a church!!!). But we had built the video business up enough to hold its own and then we bought our Houston home. We did a 20 year loan in order to pay off the mortgage way faster!
      6) Then I got a nice paying job at that same church ironically so Kelly could be a stay at home mom. And I still run the video business on the side to make more money, to save more money.
      7) Then in 2013, we read the Mother Earth News article and at the same time we started our doTERRA business! THIS was everything. Have residual income had been the dream of mine since I was 17 years old.
      8) We built up doTERRA, while also getting raises in my church video job, while also working HARD to make more money with videos on the side.
      9) In 2015 God called me to leave my church video job, doTERRA was paying about $40k. But we had saved up a decent amount of money. BUT THEN….. we bought our 7.5 acre property. We had to take that leap of faith to buy the land. It was scary. By 2016 we depleted almost all of our savings.
      10) But remember that I had learned HOW TO MAKE MONEY. So I took my new asset of land and of a dream to homestead and live in a TINY HOUSE into a way to monetize the dream. We started our RUclips channel and our Shed to House Facebook group began making more money again.
      11) Sold our suburban home, had equity in it. Filmed everything and moved into our Shed to House. But it still wasn’t easy, we got back into debt and it got scary again, but I had already LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MONEY. So every time the Lord blessed my hard work ethic and got us out of the hole.
      12) Now we have more freedom and money than we had ever had!

      @@BetterTogetherLife we have been planning for little while now but our current living arrangement isn't working for us so we are trying to make that "leap of faith" you referred to sooner rather than later. We have money saved up (is it enough? Theres no way of knowing at the stage we're currently in). As a fallback plan I would need to find a job for income and Ive been applying to places down there based on my skillset in hopes this would be the quickest route. Finding a job is really what is holding us back right now. As far as family: we dont have any relatives or even friends in Texas (lol). As it stands right now I have been looking at the Northeastern part of Texas for the greener backdrop etc. But we do not have our heart set in any particular region so if you have suggestions or advice we're all ears.

      I am not as familiar with the North East part of the state. Mainly Houston, Dallas, Central, and then we’ve traveled to El Paso several times. But I am sure the North East is amazing, and possibly less expensive.
      I think you are doing the right thing of focusing on finding a job being #1! I can’t lie saying that YES, you’ll have to take the Leap of Faith….. but yet I don’t believe I would take that leap without at least a good paying solid JOB lined up as your safety net.
      Especially for how far you are moving. MA to Texas is a long way. So I would say that you need more of a safety net vs what we had. Moving from the suburbs of Houston going only a few hours to central Texas (where we are still within driving distance of the area we know very well).
      So yes, I am excited for y’all! But with this big of a move you’ll need to really have your PLANNING stage on point.

    Or is it better to wait till i have the property and decide then what i will need??
    I thought maybe having some of it on hand upon purchasing the land would save time in getting started. Plus, i can buy some building supplies a little at a time so i dont spend too much out of each paycheck. Other people are telling me not to stockpile.
    I have been trying to get my dream started for 4 years now and keep hitting discouraging problems/ setbacks along the way that stop me. Family says im too old to start a homestead now because its too much work. I see that as a challenge. Lol.
