Self Abundance

Self Abundance

•  Literature review
•  Key principles  - synthesis of literature and own thoughts
•  Regaining (in fact creating?) a positive sense of self worth, importance and role (father, husband, son, brother, key family supporter, provider, community builder, teacher, leader (!))
•  Happiness
•  Reality check - lifestyle, retirement, children, legacy
•  Insight:  Reducing consumption, supplying our own needs if possible, bartering producers or sellers is easier and generates less financial friction (tax) than an enterprise which relies on selling stuff.  Cash will always be needed to some extent therefore a way of making it is essential, for us it would be brilliant if that didn't mean hard selling.
•  Articulating what our needs are.  Maslow's hierarchy of needs?
•  Vision for the land and it's people.  Sustaining several generations in the future hopefully.
•  Strategy
•  Action
•  Results, evaluation, analysis, prediction, course correction.  Plan Do Check Act.
•  Try to make the blog accessible by presenting it as an alternative financial case to a pension / other investment?  This would also be helpful in articulating the long term nature of some of the ideas.  Explore and challenge what is reasonable in terms of payback, IRR and NPV.
