- The threat of another drought.

There’s a prevailing notion, not just in farming but across various sectors, that during tough times, a mentality...
I remember it like it was yesterday.
There I was, two years into my journey of helping business owners.
The year was 2013, and I was 26 years of age.
It was 10am, and I was still in bed.
I didn’t want to get up.
It almost felt like I couldn’t get up.
A thought washed over my mind that I ...
There is always something to worry about.
We have been through drought, fires, floods, COVID, The Ukraine War, increasing interest rates and very high inflation (just to name a few).
…it never ends, and it’s important to know that it will never end.

We believe that real wealth lies in the quality of our relationships, the experiences we enjoy, and the act of giving and helping others.

A recent report by ABC News Rural...
Some people may dismiss the idea of doing inner work as being fluffy or unimportant, but in reality, we all carry some form of damage from our upbringing and environment.
Most people never change after the age of 18, and that’s why doing inner work to become a better person can take a lot of co...
Everyone experiences some sort of fear from time to time.
You might have a fear of heights, a fear of snakes, or maybe you have a fear of speaking in front of a group.
Some of you might have inherited a farm and carry the fear of losing it (or not doing a good job with it).
Fear is there ...
I’m sure there are more, but I place stress and overwhelm into three main categories:
ONE: Things left undone (too many things to do in a short amount of time);
TWO: You are constantly chasing the future and never stop to enjoy the moment (high achievers can easily fall into this category becaus...
This week I wanted to share a message that our CEO Sam Johnsson sent out to our Platinum Mastermind members in a monthly newsletter.
With some having their best year ever and others wiped out from floods, I think it’s a great reminder of how fragile farming is.
“It is at times like this that I am ...
I’ve just finished a 9-day course. It was a big one, delivered online from 9am to 10.30pm each day.
I got so much value from this.
It was all about living in the moment and having peace of mind.
The instructor is a master at this. His presence was next level, and he was able to help us learn t...
