In a previous post, we talked about the key ingredients in being an untemplater. People mentioned things like being unhappy and having a breaking point, having courage and being introspective. If these are the things that make a person an untemplater, what are some tools the untemplater uses to carry out the lifestyle?
Here are some

One does not have to leave mainstream society or even move to find an intentional community. While most on-line community managers have only a few years of experience with digital community-building, there is decades of experience, experimentation (lots of experimentation), and culture within the intentional community world. Intentional communities have adopted the digital tools as their directory is on-line and group message boards allow community alumni members to keep in touch. In other words, there are all the tools of the on-line communities in addition to connections based on sharing housing, food, a way of life, or an idea.

There comes a time for most entrepreneurs when the idea of using somebody else’s invested capital to grow their business seems like the way to go. Whether this thought process occurs in the initial formation stages or after the business has proven itself, raising funds can be a harrowing experience. One of my former clients (who had also completed U.S. Army basic training) once told me that the capital raising process was the most humbling and soul-crushing experience he had ever been through.

Is Your Money Collecting Dust In A Savings Account? MOVE IT!

For those who like to focus more on their finances there are also other ways to invest such as gold, silver, copper, and bonds just to name a few. Having a savings account is a good thing and I believe they are necessary. But that doesn’t have to be the big box where all your money sits when you aren’t paying bills or making purchases. Take that money and spread it around. Have a hand in the stock market, buy a CD, AND maintain that savings account. Diversification is the name of the game.

Where do I start? How do I learn more? Am I doing this right? Should I change my major? These were all of the questions running through my mind before I decided to take a leap of faith. It took months of meeting with mentors, personal decision making, and learning as much about entertainment journalism and editing videos on Final Cut as I possibly could, before officially restructuring the career path I was on.

I used to think that my passion was helping others until I realized, duh so is everyone else’s! It is our gifts, talents, skills and the things that excite us…the things that we obsess about and even the things that make us sound dorky when we discuss them, that make us better able to help others. Our passions are where we can begin to give to the world. So, if you truly want to help your family, help your world….then follow your bliss. It will give you all the tools or at the very least the beginning of the tools you need to serve others while bringing you joy.

The 30-Day “No Spend” Challenge.

Now you may me asking yourself what the point of all this is, and the answer is simple – to see if you could do it. As untemplaters we’re always trying to hack the rules and live on our own terms anyways, so why not take on another challenge? A challenge that will truly help you understand your spending habits and help grow your appreciation for the free things in life. It’s crazy, and you’re gonna get some shit for it when out with your friends, but whatever. If you could rock this you’ll be that much closer to financial freedom.
