Discover the Homesteading Skills That Make You More Successful

In today's episode, I reveal the profile of a successful homesteader that you can become. While many fear getting started, you can develop the homesteading skills necessary.

The profile of those who start successful homesteads and small farms is clear. They are willing to invest in experience and immediate adjustments in lifestyle.

Yet there are differences between those two goals. Homesteaders prioritize self-sufficiency and sustainable living, whereas farmers emphasize commercial production and income generation.

It is a journey from where you are to homesteading, then to developing a small farm. Understanding those differences helps some be successful at homesteading while others fail.

What Are Common Traits of Those Successful With Homesteading

A successful homesteader is a different kind of person. There are certain things they do before buying land. That's not what you might see from homesteading creators.

Here are a few examples of characteristics successful homesteaders share. These traits remove fear and focus effort on implementation.

1. Willing to Learn: Successful homesteaders and farmers strongly desire to learn about farming and are open to new ideas and techniques.
2. Adaptability: They are flexible and can adjust to the challenges and changes of farming or homesteading.
