The best advice I ever got (and foolishly didn't heed) when I started farming was, "Slow down."
It is incredibly tempting to rush into doing all the things you've always dreamed of doing: gardens, orchards, chickens, hogs, etc.
And, if you do rush in, you very quickly find yourself overrun with chores and expenses.
My advice is to start with an enterprise that is likely to be profitable for you. (Unless you're awash in money already. Then, go wild!) Start building manageable enterprises that pencil out with more than enough breathing room to allow for the unexpected. Things always break. Storms always roll through. Cash is king. Keep more than you think you'll need on-hand at all times.
Manage your cash, time, and energy like precious resources. Go slowly in the right direction and you can build the life you've always wanted. But you're dealing in complex systems humans can't predict or control. So proceed with joy, hope, enthusiasm, and caution.
Good luck! Keep us updated on your projects.
