ANT Live 3: Mindset and Milestones: Prepping for a Life Upgrade

Small Scale Life

Our topic this week on the Adam and Tom Live (ANT LIVE) is “Mindset and Milestones: Prepping for a Life Upgrade.”

Before you step out on that limb and begin a new venture, there needs to be a shift in your mindset as and your prep for a life upgrade. Starting a new job, new small business, a new project, going in a different direction or starting over again from scratch takes planning, preparation and execution. A Life Upgrade IS a big deal and will change who you are and where you are going. Trust me, I know!

There will be ups and downs along the way. Let me repeat that: there WILL be ups and downs along the way.

Prepping for the lows (and the highs) is very important. It can take time for things to come together and start to flow the right way. How do you get over those valleys and keep going? What can you do to soften the blows and damage from the inevitable setbacks and storms?

Adam started a small business and has been methodically building it over the past couple years. Julie and I ventured into the wild and tried our hands at homesteading on a small farm. One of us is still working on their dream; the other one pivoted and went in a different direction.

What worked? What didn’t? What did they learn along the way?

A life upgrade is typically not easy and something that just happens overnight. A lot of planning and hard work are involved. I mean, usually when change happens THAT fast, something dramtically good (winning the lottery) or dramatically bad has happened. In my experience, it tends to be the later, and I wouldn’t necessarily call that a “life upgrade.” Serious illness, bankrupcy, job loss, financial ruin and death are definitely massive life changes, and those are not life upgrades. Maybe once you walk through that dark valley and climb out on the other side, something good can happen, but again: it takes a lot of planning, hard work, help and therapy to get out of the pit.

For this discussion, we are focusing on the mindset, milestones and prepping for a POSITIVE life upgrade. We’ll descend into the valley in a future show for you cannot have light without the dark, and that discussion is very important as well. This is all part of the inward journey of our Small Scale Life. Do not fear the darkness because it reminds us of how good the light can be and feel.

Take a listen! We will be livestreaming on the Small Scale Life YouTube Channel at 7:30 PM Central on October 14, 2024.

As always, remember to learn, do, grow and be a little better every day. And that, my friends, is a good thing!

~Tom
