Let's Meet HERE to See if Farm Marketing Boot Camp, My 12 Week Coaching Program, Is For You
What if having a successful farm could be as simple as choosing to think differently?
You may be tempted to doubt, but please hang in here with me for a minute.
Today, on the Profitable Mindset Podcast, I shatter some of the biggest myths about what makes a successful farm.
For a decade now, I've interviewed and studied the successful farmers inside my coaching program.
I've made notes of what they're doing that's different from the mainstream.
The BIGGEST difference between those who have calm and profitable farms and everyone else is that balanced, calm, profitable farmers consistently think and, therefore, act differently.
No matter how small or how big their farm.
No matter where they're located or what kind of website they have.
They've curated a set of beliefs through coaching that allows them to build sustainable, profitable farms.
In today's episode, I outline these beliefs that will create your success, too.
The farmers I study know without a doubt that the unique methodology we use inside the coaching boot camp is why they were able to let go of outdated beliefs that kept them stuck and believe useful and productive thoughts instead.
If you'd like my support in applying this unique methodology,Click HERE to see if you qualify.
Here's to your farm success,🎉

Let's Meet HERE to See if Farm Marketing Boot Camp is for you.
I met with a farmer this week who said he’s never paid himself on his farm.😔 He raises beef cows, pigs and chickens. Right afterward, a flower farmer asked for coaching because she’s paying everyone else BUT herself - and she’s doing most the work.🙅♀️ These two farmers are both making the same five mistakes a lot of farmers makes, no matter how many years they’ve been farming. And there’s a good chance you can relate to them, too. If you’re not yet profitable… If you’re not paying YOURSELF for your farm work, including the business side of things… Then Episode 223 of the Profitable Mindset Podcast will help you. And here’s what I know The sooner you fix these five things, the better. The longer you wait to fix these things, the harder - and more costly - it is to turn them around. We clear up these five mistakes in Farm Marketing Boot Camp. Curious if Farm Marketing Boot Camp will work for you? Let’s meet and see. Click HERE to book a free strategy session with me. We’ll chat on Zoom about your farm and what roadblocks you might be experiencing, and I’ll show you the path through those blocks. Remember - your community needs and wants the wonderful farm products you produce. I’ll help you get them into their hands. Thank you for being here and allowing me space in your world.

Let's Meet HERE to See if Time Management For Farmers: Six-Week Boot Camp is for you.
It truly sucks to wake up each day, and you can’t get started on new things because you’re still catching up on yesterday’s unfinished tasks.
Or last week’s.
Or last season’s unfinished tasks and projects and goals.
I get it! That used to be me - and it’s okay if this is you.
But here’s the problem:
You won’t ever become profitable if you haven’t mastered using a calendar.
Yes. It’s that crucial of a skill.
The most successful farmers I work with have learned to prepare before the week starts.
If you’re trying to prepare when you’re in reaction mode because you’ve started the day responding to all that needs to be done, you’re already behind the ball.
I’ve got two resources today to help you. This resource is free and is today’s episode of the Profitable Mindset Podcast. Listen now. It’s a simple time management exercise the farmers in my program do to create huge success.
2. Sign up for my free time management training for farmers: How to create MORE time and MORE money on your farm.
Success won’t happen if you don’t learn how to master calendaring and then master your follow-through of the calendar.
If calendaring, planning, and scheduling sounds confining - it’s NOT.
The farmers I work with will tell you it’s the most freeing thing they do because things get done, and their free time is totally free.
It might seem like such a complete fantasy now.
But this IS possible for you, too.
Life’s too short for you to be spinning in overwhelm.
Today’s resources will move you ahead and help you WIN at life.
Imagine going to bed each day and then waking up each morning feeling accomplished. Complete. Free. In control. And productive.
This skill is available for you, too. Let me show you. -
Let's Meet HERE to See if Time Management For Farmers: Six-Week Boot Camp is for you.
Julia Bell knows firsthand how grueling it is to show up to farmers markets week after week… …when you’re not making money. She wanted to give up and quit several times in their 9-year farm journey. She felt resentful of working for years, not paying herself a dime. She just wanted to be a wife and mom to her three young boys. Julia worked so hard in my program these last few years and she’s finally reached her dream. In Julia’s words: “There’s no shortcut to the top.” “And there’s no quick fix to anything worth having long term.” So many farmers think the solution to making money is to just work harder on the farm. But please hear me - that’ll never get you there. You can’t work hard enough to overcome not knowing the skills of money making, time management, and mindset. What I call the “three pillars of a profitable farm.” Julia put in the hard work - coaching with me for years - to learn and implement money-making, time management and a profitable mindset. “We’ve used your program to build a sustainable and profitable farm.” “We pay people to do the hard labor so I can do the things only I can do - be a wife and mother.” “And I’m well-paid for the marketing work I do for our farm.” “Now I have a feeling of peace, I’m present with my kids, in my home, where I want to be, and money’s coming in.” “This is how good it can be when we do the scary things you teach of raising our prices, hiring the help, training the help, and managing our own mindset around it all.” It used to be impossible for them to get away on vacation. But today, Julia and Blake, and their boys take multiple camping trips each summer as a family and several other vacations throughout the year. Julia’s finally living the life she only dreamed of and for years did NOT think it was possible. Hear Julia’s farm journey to get their farm profitable over the last few years. And please know - this is for you, too. Julia says, “Farm on your own without coaching and be miserable and overworked and feel like a lost fish.” “OR, you can use this program to have all the resources you need to build a profitable farm and a fulfilling life.” For Julia, that fulfilling wife means she's: A mother. A wife. A farmer. Making money. With peace and fulfillment. Please listen to her powerful story of hope on the Profitable Mindset podcast today. And know - if you’re looking for something to get you profitable NOW or in a month or two… it’ll never work. Farms become profitable when the owners take time to grow and learn the marketing and mindset skills to do it. If you’re interested in building the peaceful and fulfilling life Julia has, let’s meet up on Zoom HERE and see if we’re a good fit. Warmly, Charlotte -
Find 10-20 Hours in Your Farm Week: Meet Me HERE and Learn About Time Management For Farmers: Six-Week Boot Camp
Are you tired of just "surviving" life?
It's not just you.
I meet so many overwhelmed and stressed farmers.
It IS the nature of the business we signed up for.
But if we don't learn to manage for the overwhelm and stress...
...we start to resent the people, animals, kids, customers - anyone who demands our time.
I remember being so desperate to get out of overwhelm that I'd daydream about the farm disappearing, and I'd wake up in a studio apartment with a simple 40-hour-a-week job.
I knew it was bad and affecting my health, but I didn't know how to get out from under it all.
I learned, and now I teach farmers the same time and life-management strategies and mindsets that saved me six years ago when I felt like I hit bottom.
Listen to Today's Episode of the Profitable Mindset Podcast
Overwhelm prevents us from making money, and more importantly, it's making us sick.
Then, we end up beating ourselves up for it all.
Well, I say, “No more!”
Today’s episode is about learning to drop the guilt and start creating space for you to get out of overhwhem.
I hope you’ll try the exercise I teach on the podcast today.
I’ve been right where you are. And when I implemented this, my whole life changed and I had to share with you.
Now, I spend my life teaching farmers how to make money. And it starts with learning to manage your time. And step one in learning to manage your time… is the skill I teach today.
Tune in and give it a try!
Warmly,
Charlotte

Click HERE to Sign Up for my Free Live Training: 3 Crucial Pillars for a Profitable Farm
When we start our farms, we often have this secret thought... "Wouldn't it be great if we could support ourselves full-time on the farm and quit our day jobs?" And then you get further into the business and realize how expensive it is. How hard the work is. How stressful it is. And you start to doubt. Today you're in for a treat that’ll curb your doubts and give you hope. Brooke Palmer, a winter tulip farmer near Ithaca New York, is sharing her success story on the Profitable Mindset Podcast. She joined my program two years ago, frazzled, teaching during the day and squeezing in farming every other moment of the day and night. She didn't enjoy selling. She didn't even know how to sell - her process was stressful and time-consuming. Once she joined Farm Marketing Mastery, she studied and implemented the three pillars I teach over the year. She raised her prices. She started selling efficiently and calmly. She sold out. She re-joined for a second year. She continued getting my feedback and coaching, improving her selling and time management. This year Brooke fulfilled her dream of quitting her high-school teaching job to farm full-time. She learned the skills I teach so her farm could replace her income. Please know that she's no different than you and I. Brooke's here to share her journey so you can have hope and confidence that you can build a profitable farm, too. Perhaps you want to quit your day job, retire your spouse, or just make enough to contribute financially to the household. You can. I interview my students regularly on the podcast, so you can know this is available to you, too. Building a profitable farm is a learned skill. Please, let that sink in. When you learn the skill of creating time, money and mind management, you will notice huge financial growth. Farm Marketing Mastery is opening up soon. If you're considering joining and have any hesitations or questions - let's meet on Zoom. This is not a sales call. This private meeting is so I can get to know you and your needs and see if the program is a good fit. You can schedule that 25 min. 1-1 with me by clicking HERE. I would LOVE to meet you!

Thinking is the most dangerous thing we do, first name. We’ve discovered that hardly any of us know how to think in a way that serves us. When I was a few years into my farm, I knew that though it was profitable, there was no way I could keep up the overwhelming amount of work and stress. I thought I’d created a BEAST; I thought the only way out was to quit. It was debilitating for a few years. But after learning the methodology I now teach farmers today, the simple technique made farming manageable and fulfilling That’s why today’s episode of the Profitable Mindset Podcast is so important. I share a simple solution you can implement immediately, like so many of my clients already have. Please give a listen - it will help you, too. You’re going to learn a technique that almost works like magic to immediately calm your stress and overwhelm. This ONE technique could make your farm life immediately more fulfilling than you can imagine. So today I’m talking about the two big reasons your farm may fail - I’ve given you a solution here to the exten that I can in a podcast episode. But please know - we ELIMINATE these two reasons for failure in our year together in Farm Marketing Mastery.

Click HERE - let's meet up and see if the Farm Marketing Mastery Program is For You!
I’ve got the most wonderful strategy to share with you on the Profitable Mindset Podcast today. It’s what I’ve done for over 20 years of hiring and managing employees. The first time an employee told me, “You’re the best boss I’ve ever had,” I thought they were being nice. I started hearing it regularly - people loved working at my farm. I started asking why - and they said they felt valued. I saw it in their performance - they were always willing to go the extra mile usually only an owner does. I taught you this exercise today on the podcast, and it helps you create a wonderful farm environment where people love showing up for work—yes, even hard farm work. Give it a try. I pulled it out of Farm Marketing Mastery, my signature program that teaches farmers how to get profitable. I know you’ll love it because not only will your employees feel valued, but you’ll feel valued by them when they improve because you’re using this technique. Let me know what happens when you do it. Feel nervous? It’s normal—give it a try anyway. The payoff in their performance is so worth feeling nervous! Big hugs, Charlotte PS: Farm Marketing Mastery opens in September. Formerly known as “5X Your Farm Sales,” - it’s the same program but with a different name, and you’ll learn how to make your farm profitable. Plan on joining then! -

It’s August, and the overwhelm is rampant among the farmers reaching out for coaching!
This week, I talked with a woman neck deep in overwhelm and exhaustion.
She’s in two farmers markets, and farm work is at its peak right now!
And she still can’t get it all done.
I asked, “What’s ONE thing that, if you changed it right now, would give you the most relief?”
She responded - getting her employees to do the right things in the right way. She said she still ends up doing most of the work because she’s faster/better.
I hear this often. And the solution may not be what you were expecting.
She hired and trained her employees, but they’re spilling feed, not cleaning up after themselves, and not setting up or tearing down the market booth in the way she taught them.
They’re not attentive to all the details.
She’s bummed they’re not getting it.
You WILL make mistakes when you hire. Today’s episode will help lessen those mistakes.
Be sure you’re appreciating your commitment to improving your farm’s bottom line by listening in to all the solutions I offer each week.
Sending you big summer hugs,

I sooo wish this info had been around 15 years ago!

Erica Benoit was a self-described "hot-mess mom" before she joined my coaching program last summer. Even though they were making lots of sales on their meat and raw milk farm in Central Missouri, there was never any money left - every dime went back into the farm. She forgot customer orders, dropped all kinds of balls on the farm, and was overwhelmed by everything. She lay awake in the middle of every night - looping on everything she still had to do. This anxious looping was exhausting, wasn't productive, and didn't move her ahead. I often hear this complaint from so many farmers. Please know that you don't have to live this way any longer. It's my greatest joy to share this hope with you—and every farmer everywhere—that Erica turned this around and has created success beyond her wildest dreams. >>Tune in and Hear How Erica Made their farm Profitable and Retired Her Husband>Tune into Episode 212 of the Profitable Mindset Podcast -

This ever happen to you?
Someone asks the price of your lettuce, flowers, or meat—you can fill in the blank with your product.
And as soon as they ask, you freeze, remembering the person last week who surprised you by asking, “Why’s it so expensive?!”
Truth is… our farm products MUST be higher priced than the store since we have no economy of scale.
Click HERE to Confidently Charge What You Need
Just last week, a farmer requested my coaching because she always feels like she has to apologize for her expensive floral designs.
I know this is such a struggle among the farmers in my community here.
Some women tell me they feel guilty or obligated to keep prices low, others feel angry that people don’t get it - - today’s podcast episode will help you!!
Like my client, Kathryn, you want to feel confident knowing you must charge that much because of all the work, time, and, of course, hard costs that go into your farming.
But it can be so hard because these products are often much less expensive at the store.
And to add salt to the wound, you’ve got neighbors selling similar things for much less money.
But if you want to farm long-term and not lose money the whole time, you’ll have to charge a sustainable price.
When you learn the skill I teach today, it becomes much easier to confidently charge a profitable/sustainable price for your meat, milk, eggs, flowers, classes.
I tell you, when you solve for this in your life, you feel so much lighter, AND you finally start to make and keep money.
Feeling confident and no longer apologizing for your pricing IS a learned skill, like ALL the things I teach in my marketing Bootcamp.
The farmers I coach aren’t making money because they’re more gifted, or live in a better place, or have found the magic FB ad or website.
NO—they’re making more money than they ever dreamed possible because they’re learning the skills of marketing and mind management, and then money follows.
Listen to the Profitable Mindset Podcast Episode 210 today and learn how to feel far more confident in your pricing.
Thanks for being here!
Remember - Farm Marketing Bootcamp opens up in July. Plan to join me! A 6 week program to get your marketing started and finessed!
Let’s get you making and keeping more money.

Click HERE for 6 Tools You Need to Build a Profitable Farm
You work so hard to create the best farm you can - whether it’s meat, milk, flowers, eggs, fiber. Plus all the workshops and tours.
I even know some of you are farming oysters and salmon and Air BnB’s! You bust your buns to get these products & services to people in your community. I know this because I did it, too. I used to wake up thinking - “my product is amazing. People should be flocking to buy - and they aren’t.” And despite your best efforts, often you feel like your market just doesn’t want what you have. They didn’t buy enough whole chickens, so you had them cut up. They didn’t buy the Flower and Vegetable Shares… So you made a YouPick and weekly orders. They didn’t buy the beef shares… So you created bundles and boxes and still have FREEZERS full of meat. So the obvious thing to tell yourself is - that the market is the problem. But. This thought is KILLING your business. And it’s not true. The market is NEVER the problem. I know right now a lot of you reading this are tempted to think, “but Charlotte doesn’t know MY market. MY market IS the problem. She doesn’t realize it IS saturated with products just like mine, many cheaper.” It’s totally okay you think that - I hear you! I totally thought this, too, until I figured out the solution I offer today. What my experience with thousands of farmers now shows me time and again is it’s NEVER the market that’s the problem. There’s ONE reason your market is not buying from you. And that lie you tell yourself (you didn’t know it’s a like, it’s okay) is keeping you stuck. Today on the Profitable Mindset Podcast I outline how this dangerous like will cost you thousands of dollars. And, I’ll share the three things you have to do to fix this problem. When my clients in the 5x Your Farm Sales coaching program discover the solution to this lie in the first two weeks after joining, and implement the solution I offer today, they start to make consistent sales. They find their market was never the problem. This is the best news ever. Because if the market is the problem - it’s out of your hands to fix it. I show you how it’s 100% within your control to solve this problem and start making consistent sales at the price you need to charge. Click HERE to tune in and hear how to solve for lack of sales.

If you’re like many farmers, you probably struggle with being overwhelmed, exhausted, and burnt out for years. You know you can’t keep living this way — so why haven’t you DONE anything about it yet? You can’t find the time!
Or, if you do find time, such as Grandma showed up to take the kids for a couple of hours… you’re faced with “... but I can’t because I feel guilty or I don’t deserve to spend time on myself when there is so much to do.”
All farmers tell me they struggle with taking personal time, but especially as women, we carry so much guilt around taking time for ourselves because we’ve been conditioned to think this way.
We think we need to provide physically, mentally, emotionally, and often financially - to our families - and we’ve placed ourselves last on the to-do list.
This costs us a great deal—especially in terms of our health, energy, and profitability. It's ironic that thinking we need to be doing it all is keeping us from even making money.
Then, we end up beating ourselves up for it all.
Well, I say, “No more!”
Today’s episode is about learning 3 simple steps to start creating more personal time for yourself without feeling guilty.
I hope you’ll try this. There’s a direct correlation between feeling fulfilled in life and having an hour of personal time each day. NOT time folding laundry or working out… I mean legit, do-nothing downtime, just for you.
Sounds crazy-impossible?! Trust me, I’ve been right where you are. And when I saw how just an hour a day to myself changed my whole life, I had to share with you.
Now, I spend my life teaching farmers how to make money. And it starts with learning to manage your time. And step one in learning to manage your time… is the skill I teach today.
Tune in to this episode and give it a try!

It’s crucial that you learn marketing from people who’ve created long-term success with it.
There are no ‘make money fast’ schemes out there that work.
Oh, there are plenty of people trying to sell you one!
But from years of experience with thousands of farmers, I know that you can’t spend enough money to compensate for not learning marketing.
By that, I mean you won’t successfully spend enough money hiring someone to do your marketing to get profitable.
You can’t spend enough money on FB ads to make yourself profitable.
Nothing will build your profitable farm without you learning marketing. So, if you’ve got to learn it, it might as well be fun and fulfilling.
Today, on the Profitable Mindset Podcast, I’m in the hot seat answering Jonathan Kilpatrick’s burning questions about our marketing workshop I taught in Minnesota.
Hear how I used the marketing skills I teach farmers to create my own successful, profitable farm.
Hear about the ‘cash cows’ farmers are building today using the same foundational principles.
Tune in and learn several things, including: The one task you can do each week to build loyalty and connection How to build trust with people online so they’ll buy from you consistently The number one way to build SEO on your website - and it’s NOT by hiring expensive SEO consultants or programs It’s crucial that you learn to market your farm products. There’s no fast or easy way to do it!
If there was a fast, easy way… you know everyone would be doing it successfully. The fact that learning is “hard” weeds out those who are not willing to do hard things.
But that’s not you, insert first name here.
I set up my marketing a year before I brought my first cow home, so I hit the ground running and was sold out the day I opened for sales.
Now I teach farmers to do the same.
Listen TODAY and learn.
Warmly,
Charlotte -
The first month after I started my farm and brought home my first milk cows, I realized there was no way I could get it all done!
By "all," I mean the milking process, working with customers, feeding my family, and driving my daughter to basketball practice and games six days a week.
It was physically, humanly impossible for me to run the farm all by myself!
I hired my first employees and then began the process of learning by experience what NOT to do and what works best.
I share some great techniques today that I learned in those first few years.
Tune into the link above for the Profitable Mindset Podcast.
I share skills you can use to manage your new employee(s) with confidence and ease.
You'll learn: How to give direct feedback in a way that feels good for you and your employees My formula for evaluating employees' quality of work A simple question that makes employees feel valued How to get your employees to stay with you long-term And more! If you've ever felt frustrated because you just can't find good help and then they never seem to meet your expectations, this episode will help.
It's not that there aren't good employees out there willing to work hard.
There certainly are, but you've got to develop good people-management skills to retain them.
This is part 3 of my 3-part series on attracting, hiring, and managing employees.
Let's get you some help on your farm!!
You'll get your time back, but also, tons more joy and fulfillment.
Much love,
Charlotte - Show more
