Frugality Tip

I was randomly looking at Etsy and saw someone selling something I was interested in that was local to me. I messaged them and asked about local pick up and cash price. They were very interested in cash money with pick up and I saved some money on my purchase. So ask, it will never kill you, and might save you a few dollars.

Main Topic: Fearless Living – The Two Sides of "Go For It"

We are talking about two forms of courage today: Professional Courage (to launch and critique) and Personal Courage (to be vulnerable and stand up).

1. The Courage to Launch and Critique: The Farm-to-Table AAR

The Farm-to-Table Dinner was a huge "Go For It" moment. The real courage is in the fearless honesty of the After Action Review (AAR): Is this financially viable? $155 - 13/hour

The Diagnostic Tool: The Homestead Revenue Stack

We put the Dinner through our Homestead Revenue Stack to analyze where it sits and what it needs to succeed.

• The Dinner sits primarily in the Service Layer (Dinner/Class).

AAR Findings & Action Plan

• Logistics Check: Reality vs. plan mismatch. Example: "Sunset on paper vs. Sunset in the holler (30 min BUBBLE)."

• Venue Needs: The oven/stove at BC needs an upgrade.

• Experience Flow: Need better arrival/mingling flow.

• Financial Fixes: We need to Price up, increase numbers at the dinner, and rely on Upsells.

• Opportunity: There is an opportunity for a premium cherry add-on for the dinner service.

• Action: Get the chef on the wild edible walk (to enhance the product layer).

• Action: If connected to a Farm-to-Table meal delivery service, that would be amazing.

2. The Courage to Stand Up and Be Vulnerable: Local Politics

Sometimes "Go For It" means stepping outside your established comfort zone for a cause greater than your business.

• The Event: Giving public testimony in front of county officials.
