What do you do when winter shuts down your homestead plans… but the bills don’t pause?
When the cold slows the build and outdoor work comes to a standstill, this is the exact season I lean hard into digital income — and why Digital Wealth Academy became part of how we survive and grow through winter.
Winter has officially settled in around here, and with it came an unexpected pause.
The cold weather has put a hold on the work of our new homestead house. Renovations are on standby for now, and instead of swinging hammers and framing walls, we’re spending our days doing something much simpler — trying to stay warm in the old house.
Honestly, I don’t know how people lived in houses like this back in the day without freezing solid. These old walls let you feel every draft, every cold snap, every reminder that winter in the north is no joke. It gives you a whole new respect for the generations before us who made do with far less.
A Season of Waiting (and Learning)
As much as I want to push forward, this season is teaching me something important: sometimes progress doesn’t look like physical work.
Right now, the homestead build has slowed, but the vision hasn’t. The dream hasn’t stopped. It’s simply shifted indoors — into quieter work that still matters.
Renovations will resume as soon as the weather warms up a little. Until then, we’re keeping the fires going, bundling up, and reminding ourselves that this pause is temporary.
Why Winter Is the Best Time to Build Digital Income
This slower season has reminded me why I’m so grateful for digital marketing.
When the weather shuts down outdoor projects, I can still show up. I can still learn. I can still build income — right from home.
Winter is actually the perfect time to dig into the Skool community inside Digital Wealth Academy. While the homestead rests, this is when you can:
Learn income-producing skills at your own pace Build something that doesn’t depend on weather or location Create systems that support your family year-round Use quiet winter days to prepare for a stronger spring
Instead of fighting the season, I’m leaning into it.
Building Two Things at Once
Homesteading teaches patience. You can’t rush the land. You can’t rush the weather. And you can’t rush seasons.
But you can prepare.
While the house build waits for warmer days, I’m using this time to strengthen the digital side of our homestead — learning, planning, and building something that will support our family long after winter passes.
Because the homestead dream isn’t just about land and buildings.
It’s about freedom, stability, and creating income that works in every season of life.
The Dream Is Still Alive
This pause doesn’t mean we’re stuck.
It means we’re resting, learning, and getting ready.
As soon as the weather allows, we’ll be back at the build. Until then, we’re staying warm, staying grateful, and staying focused on what we can control.
Slow seasons still count. Quiet work still matters.
A Gentle Invitation
If you’re in a winter pause too — physically, financially, or emotionally — this might be your sign.
While the land rests, this is the season to learn skills that will support your homestead for years to come. That’s exactly why I’m spending this winter inside the Skool community for Digital Wealth Academy.
You don’t need to hustle harder.
You don’t need to leave home.
You just need the right guidance — and a quiet season to focus.
👉 If you’re ready to turn this slower season into something sustainable, Digital Wealth Academy is where to start.
Your spring self — and your future homestead — will thank you.
