In order for you to get everything you want out of life, you need to face all of your old demons and transform them into a new identity for yourself. Unless you face the old stories you have told yourself, you’ll never grow beyond them. On the other side of that darkness, you find the light.

Everything in our business and home lives brings with it, it’s own chaos. Over time we become accustomed to chaos and anxiety, it becomes our normal. When you start to solve your business problems and it removes the majority of chaos from that side of life, it opens up new areas for chaos to work it’s way in from directions you haven’t encountered before.

You can make a decision now and not feel the pain from it until years down the line. We avoid this by knowing our numbers and basing our decisions on numbers and not feelings. There are second and third order consequences that come from these decisions. Some parents are still paying for poor decisions they made 30 or 40 years ago.

When you go out on your own and start your own business you completely remove any safety net and you are completely responsible for yourself and your family. There are farmers in their 50’s and 60’s that are still expecting their fathers in their 80’s and 90’s to save them. If you are still looking for someone to save you, you need to recognize that all the power and growth is found when you accept that no one is coming to save you.

There are 2 kinds of people in this world, one that makes decisions only based on price, and one that decides based on value. Those that decide only on price are stuck in a world of scarcity and will never be able to move beyond it. Those that focus on value can see the dividends paid out over years and even decades.

Business structure, clean books, loan management, tax strategy, and cash-flow management all counter the chaos and burn out. If you have chaos in your business life, chances are it has spread throughout all areas of your life.

It is so important to know how the decisions you make today will affect your operation later on down the road, and the only way to know that is by knowing your numbers. Our Farmer Metrics software has given our members a level of understanding and confidence in their numbers that they have never had before.

We can all learn from other people’s mistakes without having to make them ourselves. We have had so many members have one bad year that they end up paying for over the next 3, 7, or even 20 years, without even realizing that is what they are doing. This is exactly what you are doing by terming-out your losses from one bad year over multiple years.
