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...
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. ...
It always comes down to self-belief.
The success you have in business can be directly attributed to your personal belief in yourself.
UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN YOU – NO ONE ELSE WILL BELIEVE IN YOU!
There isn’t one person on this planet who has not experienced self-doubt at some stage in their ...
I truly believe that a good business model trumps hard work. From my own experience with my on-farm and off-farm businesses, and through the experiences of others I have worked with, I know that a good strategy and business model are the tools that really set us free in business. Business is an ...

You might have a fear of heights, a fear of snakes, or maybe you have a fear of speaking in front of a group.

My biggest shift in helping me with time management wasn’t a tool. It was a change in mindset.
I used to be an amazing procrastinator. I would always leave things to the last minute, and I constantly lived in stress and overwhelm (waking up at night remembering things I forgot to do).

Here are some simple tips to help you set up a great 2023.
- Put your holidays into your calendar early. If you don’t plan time off, you will fill it with stuff. I like to ensure I get a mini break every quarter (4 days off) and an extended break once a year (2 to 4 weeks off). Everyone needs to ...
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...
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...
I was at our neighbour’s place over the weekend. We have a lot in common as we both grew up on the land, and we both work with farmers.
We were talking about how some farmers get very frustrated if they see or hear of a farmer ‘selling up.’
