Are you too controlling?

leadership mindset organisation skills team building May 10, 2022

In order to run a Freedom Farm or a business that can run without you, you must overcome any fear of losing control. 
 
You will need to become extremely comfortable hiring people (even people to pay your bills and manage your bank accounts) and then get out of their way. 
 
This is a really big constraint holding so many great farmers back. 
 
Many of you will think that if a job is to be done, it needs to be done by me.  
 
If you want to run a great business, this is the wrong mindset.  
 
The mindset to focus on is ‘Who can I find to do this job for me?’ 
 
Or ‘is there a system I can implement to do this job for me?’   
 
This one small shift in thinking can speed up your rate of success by ten times! 
 
Be careful of allowing your fear of losing control to hold you back.
