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 ...
Many farm owners believe that in order to become a top 20% farmer, you need to work harder (or do more).
This is not true.
The top 20% of farmers just do things slightly differently.
In fact, I would argue that many top 20% of farmers are working less than an average farmer.

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.

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.

Do you see yourself as a doer?
Do you have the attitude, ‘If there is a job to be done, then get out of my way and let me do it?’
This attitude has served you because things get done.
A real theme in the Agriculture industry is to be a hard worker. This was most...
19 Tips From 22 Years of Coaching…
We all have an identity, and we all operate from a set of beliefs.
These have been built up over many years, and most of it is now operating from your subconscious – which means that you might not even be aware of them.
The ego is why so people don’t like to receive critical feedback. The ...
Farm owners are some of the richest people in the world. Many are in the top 1% when it comes to wealth.
In the end, you only need so much money, and many farm owners now have more wealth than they will ever spend.
If you have a net worth of more than 3 million dollars, please know… you are rich. ...
Why do so many people resist help?
Why are some people so open to receiving help from others, yet others reject it?
Why do people defend what they know and struggle to remain open-minded to other viewpoints and receiving feedback to live a better life?
The most successful and happy people I kn...
Recently I stayed in a hotel in Casino NSW.
I travelled to have a couple of days with Our Cow, who I coach.
It’s hard to get accommodation in Casino, and I ended up staying in a simple hotel that was three stars at best.
I met a girl called Kylie.
Kylie is a single mother who had been stay...
