  • Ep. 27 - Don't Fight the Drift
    There will be times when you fall off the wagon and feel like you are no longer able to take any action because you are so stuck.In the summer of 2017, this was the reality for me. The Truth was, I didn't know what to do next because I was trying so hard not to accept the fact that my farm operation was not going to be successful long term if something dramatic didn't change.When we avoid reality, we push ourselves further and further into a drift to the point that we no longer have the willpower to continue.This leaves your family, your marriage, and your business in total chaos and destruction.

    Sometimes, you need to make extremely difficult decisions in your business and personal life.Almost every decision we make has an impact in one way or another.

  • Ep. 22 - Need vs. Want
    When you "need" something in your life, what you are suggesting to others is that you cannot live without this one thing.Instead, what could be possible if you led your life with a "wanting" mindset that began to act towards the things you want?If it's God's Will for you to have it, we will make it happen. If not, you are just one step closer into receiving what is meant for you.

  • Ep. 20 - The Truth Isn't Sexy

    Telling the Truth is one of the most challenging standards to maintain in our life.

    Why is it that we find it easier to tell a lie than to stand in the truth?

    What could be possible if you began to live every day more in the truth and stopped believing the lies you are telling yourself?

  • Ep. 19 - Who Are You Trying To Please?

    We often are unaware of the motives behind our actions. Especially on the farm operation, we have a mindset that is driven by trying to please our father or family instead of going after what we know we must do.

    This is a problem because there will be times when you feel completely resentful for not doing what you know you want to do.

    Consider what is possible for you if you began to set out and accomplished what you wanted to do rather than what everyone is wanting you to do.

  • Ep. 18 - Leaders vs. Saviors

    We get confused in thinking we are Leading when oftentimes we are being Saviors.

    It's difficult to watch and allow others to struggle but sometimes that is the one thing they need to grow as a person. It's easy to step in and think we are helping another person with their problem when giving them space to figure it out is the right thing to do.

    Where in your life are you being a Savior instead of being a Leader?
