I love permaculture. The work, ideas and community behind it all brought me hope and out of mental illness. What no one is willing to answer or provide any support on is what discourages me. I might be shunned for these questions as I have been in the past by condescending comments and negative backlash or made an example of, but I am tired and want answers that I can't find. How do I run a business? How do I start a business, that thrives without burnout? How do I get a job in permaculture as I don't think I have the skills to run a business when I am starting fresh in my 40's? I have bought courses, books, went to seminars yet everyone just dances around the conversation or makes suggestions like go to school. That kind of comment doesn't help. And because I don't know everything about all kinds of computer programs and people seem to be unwilling to teach, or intolerant of personality differences, I will stand on the sidelines, like I do for everything. I know this will not encourage anyone to reach out to me but it would be nice if someone actually made a course that did what they market, sell and convince the buyer of. Four large programs I have paid into and with all these thumbs and brains I can't find the power of permaculture. I will still post this, nearly deleted it as I know what my tone comes across as, yet I still want to try for some reason.
Your problem is finding a job in permaculture, and your personal limitations prevent your acceptance in an organization? Is that what you’re saying? As a specialty contractor since 1975, I’ve hired and worked with many apprentices, they just wanted to learn the trade. At least 4 I know of, probably more, went on to create their own successful companies as contractors. My suggestion to you is to reach out to every permaculture farm on this planet and ask to start as an educated apprentice. Most likely the food you grow and eat will heal what ails you. Be grateful. It’s the best trait to live in.

Email me! programs@pina.in - let's talk about it. It is an interesting point you've raised.
Take an interest in growing food. Get your hands in the dirt. That's how you get close to God and find peace.
Apprentice &/or work WITH an established permaculture (or in an adjacent) company.
