Free Master Class this Spring: 5 Crucial Mistakes Farmers Make That’s Costing Thousands I'm sitting here at my desk, still thinking about yesterday's conversation that broke my heart. A farmer jumped on a call with me in tears. She's done everything she thought possible to become profitable:

Spent $15,000 on a gorgeous website
Creates perfect Instagram reels that get tons of shares and comments
Drives an hour each way to premium farmers markets every weekend
Has professional photos of every product

And guess what? She STILL barely covers her farm's costs. Her family questions why she keeps going. She's thinking about quitting the farm she's poured her heart into for five years with no $$ to show.❤️‍🩹 This may sound familiar, because it’s a story I hear often when a farmer first seeks my help. But here's the wild part – right after that call, I spoke with another farmer who’s in my coaching program who just sells out her entire stock of $75 alpaca wool beanies (yes, $75 EACH!) in TWO HOURS with just ONE email. Same industry. Similar products. Completely different results. The difference isn't what you'd expect. It's not about working harder. It's not about fancier marketing tactics. It's not even about having better products. Mindset always drives profits. Strategy won't work if your mindset is not useful. I was so fired up after these calls. Helping farmers learn to make money is my calling, my joy in life. I had to immediately record this episode #238 of the Profitable Mindset Podcast to break down the exact mindset barrier that's keeping good farmers (like maybe you?) from building the customer base you deserve. Tune in and listen. This isn't fluff, I promise. Shifting your mindset is how you build a profitable farm. In this episode, I share:

The 80/20 rule of farm profitability that completely flips how you should spend your time 🤯
The REAL reason why customers choose YOUR farm (hint: it has almost nothing to do with your beautiful products or the fancy reels!)
Why focusing on "getting new customers" is actually keeping you broke 🤦‍♀️

I'm not exaggerating when I say this mindset shift changes EVERYTHING. Just last week, Lisa (a flower farmer in my program) tried what I teach and added 50 subscribers in two hours – all previous customers who'd abandoned her farm until she made this one change. Anna completely sold out her farm dinner with a single email – something that used to take weeks of stressful back-and-forth messaging. Listen, I know you're working your tail off. I used to as well! I figured it out, and now I share the mindset shifts with other farmers. The long days, the physical exhaustion, the constant worry about sales... I've been there. But what if the solution isn't working harder? What if it's just thinking differently? I can't wait to hear what shifts for you after listening! Cheering you on, Charlotte
