Financial Freedom from Farming Principles
Foundations Of Financial Fortunes Found On The Farm
The laws of the farm can teach lessons about financial freedom because all principles are microcosms of each other.
Wealth is a necessity because the dollar is becoming worth less, children and grandchildren have requirements, and parents get older and have requirements.
Four Laws of the Farm:
The Law of Seasons Seasons are the framework that make farming possible.
The four seasons are winter, spring, summer, and fall, and they exist in every aspect of life.
Winter represents the law of hardship. It is essential to make the rest of the experience work.
Action Step: Be willing to sacrifice and do the hard things on the front end. Overcome inertia by intentionally exerting energy. Don't quit in the winter time.
Spring represents the law of hopefulness.
Action Step: Plant in the spring in anticipation of a future harvest.
Summer represents the law of happiness. Enjoy the work that has been done as you anticipate the fruits of your labor.
Autumn/Fall represents the law of harvest.
The Law of the Seed The identity of the tree and the fruit is determined by the seed.
The root system, shoot system, and fruit system are determined by the seed.
The seed is gravitropic, growing towards gravity and away from light, and phototropic, growing towards light and away from gravity.
Action Step: If you don't like the harvest, sow a different seed. Understand that every thought, word, deed, and dollar is a seed being sown into the garden of the future.
The Law of Sewing You reap what you sow.
You reap later than you sow.
You reap more than you sow.
You risk when you sow.
Action Step: Keep planting, cultivating, keeping, and protecting the garden that is you. Embrace the burden like you embrace the blessing so you can receive all of the blessing from the burden you've received. Do your part and trust God to do His.
The Law of Sacrifice Release the seed.
Releasing the seed does not release you from your responsibility to the seed.
Action Step: Release the things that are being held onto too tightly. Water the soil, pull the weeds, and put down fertilizer. Choose the type of harvest by choosing the seed. Stop making excuses and get stepping.
