Today, I wanted to summarise the learnings from one of my favourite books, The Practicing Mind by Thomas M. Sterner.

The author refers to learning the piano. You need di...
Here are 7 habits of highly effective farm business owners:
1. They have a morning routine. Rather than diving straight into work, they slow down to ensure they feel great (maybe get some exer...
ONE. The top business owners know what they want. They have a very high level of clarity. Because they know what they want, they only focus on doing things that get them to their goal. They don’t fluff around doing things that are not aligned with this. In addition, they ALL focus on one thing. ...
My biggest shift in helping me with time management wasn’t a tool. It was a change in mindset.
