One Year of Deliberate Decisions to Take Back Your Time, Money, and Freedom
2nd Edition – 178 Pages + Companion Workbook & Spreadsheets
Most people talk about changing their life. Very few actually do the work.
This book is for the ones ready to stop talking and start doing — one honest week at a time.
After losing nearly everything in a business collapse, I rebuilt from the ground up: debt-free on a hundred acres of Canadian wilderness, with a log cabin built by hand, food we grow, hunt, and forage ourselves, and work we choose because we want to do it.
None of it happened overnight. It happened through small, deliberate decisions, made consistently over time.
This is not theory or survival fantasy. It’s a practical, year-long curriculum with seven clear phases:
- Assessment
- Financial Discipline
- Food and Land
- Skills and Tools
- Property and Community
- Income and Work
- The Long Game
No land required. No large budget required. Just one focused assignment per week — some take an afternoon, others build through a month of small decisions.
What’s Included in the 2nd Edition
- 178 full pages of clear, step-by-step guidance
- Companion Workbook (download) – Weekly checklists + journal prompts for all 52 weeks
- Excel Spreadsheets & Calculators (download) – Ready-to-use tools for budgeting, debt payoff, pantry tracking, vehicle costs, risk assessment, and more
By the end of the year, you’ll have:
- A deeper pantry and real food security
- Smaller debts and better financial control
- Stronger skills you can rely on
- Clearer direction and purpose
- A life that actually fits the picture you want
The work is simple. The results are real.
