"I help stubborn farmers work better together, turning your family's stubborn habits into your farm's superpower!"
You hate fighting with your family and try to avoid it at all costs... but that avoidance is costing you big time!
Unresolved issues don’t disappear, they grow, snowballing into bigger and bigger problems: lost profit, lost time, and strained (or lost) relationships.
The good news? Most of the friction comes from just a few hidden bad habits in how partners solve problems together. Everybody means well, we all just have a few bad habits we aren't self aware of and unknowingly hurt the ones we love the most. We help partners become a better version of themselves by tweaking a few micro-habits. When families stop being stubborn with each other and start being MORE stubborn about the right habits, farms don't just survive - they thrive!
Within 180 days, your farm will turn around 180 degrees!
- Decision-making improves.
- Execution of good ideas skyrockets profitability.
- Partners become the best version of themselves, tripling productivity.
- Farming with family is fun again.
Within a year, farm succession and expansion planning become actually doable because you actually listen to each other now and have regained that trust back you never thought was possible.
Where to Begin?
It's simple and easy to start the process of working with us.
Risk-Free Trial Run
PHASE 1
I'd rather show, than tell. Work with me 1:1 and see how our unique program works. Kick our tires for a two-week trial before introducing this to your family.
If you don't like it, you don't pay!
Stubborn Habits Program
PHASE 2
Over 12 weeks, I will send you daily HANDPICKED podcasts created by me, followed by a weekly coaching call. In this call I help you make one micro habit change YOU choose to make. Together, we will tweak habits until your resolutions truly stick!
Stubborn Teams Program
PHASE 3
I facilitate weekly and monthly team meetings, evolving your decision-making systems so you can make better quality decisions together as a team. This radically evolves family problem solving which takes farm profitability to a whole new level!
The How of It
After saving over 800 family farms across 22 states and Canada, I quickly learned that the real problems affecting farm profitability aren’t the markets or the weather, it’s how the family makes and execute decisions together. With my 18+ years' experience of working with farm families, I can quickly peg the root problems in how your family works together, and help you fix them fast.
Here’s how my unique program works:
- Daily podcast by text. I've created >900 thought-provoking, five-minute podcasts and each day, I’ll send you one of these podcasts I personally have handpicked for you and your situation. You'll swear I recorded it just for you! Each podcast gives you new perspective and a new idea about how to work better with your partners.
- Weekly call, your resolution. Once a week, we’ll talk about the unique ideas that hit home and how you can make these concepts work within your family's unique dynamics. You pick one small resolution (a micro-habit change), and I’ll help you stay stubborn enough to make it stick.
After being kicked many times, I learned you can’t tell a stubborn mule or a farmer what to do! But when the idea to change is yours, nothing can stop you. And when each partner makes one micro-habit change a week for 12 weeks, then the family as a whole starts making changes together, the impact adds up fast. With just three partners, that’s 48 positive changes within less than 180 days.
Better habits create healthy conflicts. Healthy conflicts create exponential better decisions. Better decisions skyrockets farm profitability! It’s the game changer that will enable your family to survive a farm crisis! And when your culture shifts, succession planning becomes a pleasant, strategic discussion instead of a family feud.
Try us risk-free. Work with me one-on-one for two weeks. If you don’t see real value, don’t pay. I stand behind what I do! If you see real value, we’ll bring in your partners and within 180 days, your farm culture will turn 180 degrees — and your family will work together as a real team.
