September Is National Preparedness Month!

You’ve had those times, haven’t you?  You have one month to get some kind of big project done.  Maybe you are helping organize a wedding.  It’s the last month before the wedding and you feel like there’s so much to get done in just a little time.  Maybe you remember back to your college days.  That last month of the semester is SO HARD because you have all your projects coming due, you are taking more tests, there are more social events, and you have finals looming!  There’s so much to do, but when you look back on it after a week or two of rest, you realize that pushing yourself for a short amount of time actually helped you get a TON more done than if you had gone it at a leisurely pace.

Well, September is National Preparedness month, and guess what?  This is the perfect month to have a push to get yourself better prepared!  I am here to help with that and to cheer you on as we head through this month together.

Two-Part Challenge

So as we head into September, I want to encourage you on two fronts.  For the first part to this challenge, I want you to choose a preparedness topic about which you don’t know a whole lot and I want you to study it.  If you have the ability, pick up one or two books on it, but if you don’t have the money for it, look up info on the web.  There’s SO MUCH information on just about anything out there that you could want to learn.

The second part of this challenge is for you to pick an area of your preparedness efforts in which you know you need to up your game.  Once you’ve got an area in mind, PRACTICE or do activities in it.  If you know you need to get that water catchment system up and running, then this is the month for that!  If you aren’t sure that you could protect yourself then either learn some form of self-defense or get yourself to a shooting range and practice or take a concealed carry class.  Do you need to practice making herbal tinctures or salves?  Choose your topic and practice.  Please make sure you scroll down to the bottom and see “What You Need to Do Now” to get entered into a drawing to win A Year Without the Grocery Store paperback, the .pdf or the Companion Workbook, AND the new Principles of Self-Sufficiency Class

I’m All-in to Help You!

So how am I planning on helping you?

Blogging Mondays

We’re going to continue our Financial Preparedness posts on Mondays.  Even if you’re a millionaire, everyone can benefit from a new way of looking at their finances.

Blogging Wednesdays

Wednesdays, I’m going to focus on preparedness items that people don’t think about storing and give you some tips on how you could get started storing them.  I’m really excited about this series and how it can transform our preparedness efforts!

Blogging……..Thursdays?

Yep!  You heard it right! For the month of September, I have someone who is quite adept at fiber work who is going to teach us VERY basic crocheting and knitting so that we could help our families out with scarves and dishcloths and other simple items.  She’ll also give us a couple of basic patterns.

Blogging Fridays

On Fridays, we’re going to do a series called “Start Prepping Here.”  Sometimes when you’re a bit new to a topic, you don’t know enough of what you don’t know to ask questions about the topic.  Do you have friends who you want to introduce to preparedness?  This is a great place to get them involved and walk with them through this series.  I’ll be sharing tips and tricks to get them (and you) going and to keep your momentum on the upswing as we head into fall.

Giveaways, Sales, and NEW PRODUCTS!

Besides continuing with the blog posts, we’re going to have a WHOLE WEEK of giveaways of both digital AND physical items and sales not only the workbook but of – bu….bu…bum……..-  NEW PRODUCTS!  We’re going to introduce one totally new product, and we’re going to start carrying two other products.

New Products

A Year Without the Grocery Store – PAPERBACK – Yes!  We will be selling a paperback.  It will normally be $12 with free shipping.  For September alone, we will have it on sale for $10 with FREE shipping!  Every paperback that I sell I will sign for free!

Companion Workbook AND A Year Without the Grocery Store PAPERBACK – This is a combo product of a .pdf workbook and physical book.  This will normally run $40, but in September, it will sell for $25 with FREE shipping.  This is also a $15 savings!  As with all other physical books, I will sign it.

We will continue to sell the Companion Workbook as a printable .pdf.  During September only this will be sold for $15.  Again, this is a $15 savings!

Later in the month, we will be introducing a brand new class: Self- Sufficiency Principles!  The class will be a total of 7 lessons.  Normally this will sell for $14 ($2/lesson), but for September, it will sell for $10. Keep your eyes open for when this launches!
