Hmm how about building revenue streams?
I think one of the major challenges that makes this a scary prospect is the sense of not being able to make a living outside the employment paradigm. To get to self-sufficiency you need some materials and time as well as space to build things. I noticed that for many of us that the process by which value is paid for is a black box. I started to try to put something together a while ago from the perspective of someone who has just been laid off their job or is just starting out (very young and inexperienced) here. Does this fit into what you are trying to do with Essensials or no? If yes then I could just work on it in this group instead.
