Episode 180C — Day 3: The Biggest Mistake Beginners Make

<p>DAY 3 of the 5-Day Ditch the Store Challenge: the biggest mistake beginners make.</p><p>I'm CJ, and today I'm naming it straight up — the single biggest mistake I see when people start homesteading and ditching the store is trying to do too much, too soon, too quickly. </p><p>Bread, ketchup, BBQ sauce, yogurt, milking goats, chooks, fruit trees — all at once, all in one week. It never ends well, and I've been there myself.</p><p>Today's task is growing fruit, veg, or herbs — even if that's just one pot of parsley on a veranda, like mine (wild rabbits mean my herb garden lives in pots until it's established). </p><p>I'll also explain what Skool actually is for anyone who's heard me mention it but hasn't looked it up, and why picking ONE small thing per category — not five big ones — is the whole point of this challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p>🔗 Join the free 5-Day Challenge community on Skool (videos stay live even after the official run): <a href="https://www.skool.com/ditch-the-store-6174/about" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.skool.com/ditch-the-store-6174/about</a></p><p>🔗 Follow: Ditch the Store on Facebook &amp; Instagram </p><p><strong>Facebook:</strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mojohomestead" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/mojohomestead</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Instagram:</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mojohomestead/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/mojohomestead/</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://www.mojohomestead.net" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mojohomestead.net</a></p>
