Imagine you are the manager and coach for the Adelaide Crows AFL team.

Your role is simple.  Hire and train the best team to win the premiership.

You have to focus on

• Ensuring you have the best forwards, midfield and back

Running a farming business is no different to this.

As the leader your goal is to:-

• Ensure you are clear on the objectives and goals of the business

The problem is (more often than not)  YOU are the leader and the PLAYER of ALL positions.

Can you imagine being the manager of an AFL team AND being ALL players on the field?  You really would become the jack of all trades and the master of none.

While you are doing the job in the attack, who is looking after protecting your goal posts?

As an owner, you wear so many hats.  You are:-

• The CEO – the person that has to set the direction of the business

And somehow – you need to fit this in ALL while still being a parent, friend, look after your health and have a relationship!!!!

Just by writing this I feel burnt out!!!!

If you’re not careful – the business takes control of you instead of you controlling it.

In this week’s free podcast we explore  ‘How to build a team to get things done’.

We have also included a really good resource here where we outline every job that gets done on a farm so you can see what each role on your farm needs to do.

See you next time,

p.s take some time to clarify all of the roles in your business.  It will really help you look at your business just like an AFL manager/coach would.  It will help you see ways to create more efficiency.
