Summary

While I'm a major advocate for setting goals and making plans to achieve them, sometimes there comes a time when you just have to jump. The truth is, if you're waiting for the perfect time to do something it's never going to come. As you've learned in my own story up to this point, I don't know if I've ever been "ready" to do much of anything in my life.

0:00.0	You're listening to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast, where ambitious people master the art of returning to their roots.
0:11.0	Have you found yourself disenchanted with society or wishing you could
0:15.7	opt out of the rat race? Perhaps you're craving a life that's meaningful and tangible,
0:21.2	a life where you can create and produce instead of merely consume.
0:26.3	I'm Jill Winger, best-selling author and longtime homesteader.
0:30.4	Over the last 10 years, I've helped thousands of families create more connection, grow amazing organic food, and find the ultimate fulfillment through an old-fashioned lifestyle.
0:42.0	And I can do the same for you. Now on to our episode.
0:48.0	Welcome back. We're continuing on with our origins series and I believe when I left you in the last episode, Christian and I were sitting

1:54.3	Because sometimes it's really easy when you're around people to just feel like you have to do
2:00.4	what everyone else is doing and we had fallen into that a little bit,
2:03.2	thinking, you want to be a little different,
2:04.7	but we don't really know what that looks like.
2:05.8	And it's just really easy to go with the crowd.
2:08.6	And we started to realize that, hey, maybe we don't have to do that and we started to dream potentially for the first time ever.
2:20.4	We'd had some little dreams but like I've explained in previous episodes, I was a small, small thinker and I was still really holding on to a lot of the ideas that, you know, play small, keep your head down, don't call attention
