Today I'm joined by one of our key team members, Joni Kremlacek. She handles every application that comes into Legacy Farmer, and she is the first person you talk to before being accepted to the program. She joined the team after her and her husband joined Legacy Farmer themselves as members. She talks about what she does for us day-to-day and also how Legacy Farmer has impacted her and her husband's lives.

I recently had a member tell me that he wasn't the smartest guy in town and couldn't understand his recent successes. When you are starting out, your success has nothing to do with having smarts and everything to do with courage and willingness to constantly take action. So many of you are so stuck in your day-to-day habits that you refuse to walk through the doors that God has presented to you.

Today I'm joined by Tyler and Hanna Sharp, who run a cattle operation on their own, as well as a joint-family cattle operation, gun store, seed store, and a gas station, in Kansas. We take a deep dive and discuss how Legacy Farmer has impacted absolutely every aspect of their marriage, family life, and business.

Your worldview dictates how you react to situations in your life. This holds true for all those around you in your personal and business life. It is important to recognize others' worldview so you can see how it is impacting their decisions as well as how they interact with you. You need to find people in your world whose worldview aligns with yours.

When you inherit the farm operation, you also inherit all of the bad decisions and problems from the prior generation. Often when younger people go off to college, graduate, and return to the farm, they do so with big ideas and big dreams, but are instead greeted with a mess that had been created over decades. The decisions we make today will ripple through our operation forever.

If you want to get off the hamster wheel and see radical results, you will have to walk through the fire and make massive changes. Be sure when you prepare to make these changes that you are only listening to feedback from those that matter. There is no shortcut here, all results are earned. These changes and results aren't temporary and last a lifetime.

Today I am joined by an integral member of the Legacy Farmer team, Andy Schreck, and he shares his life experiences and what he does here at Legacy Farmer. From being taken aback by how easy it was to get plunged into $600K debt at the age of 19 with only his father as cosigner, to realizing he wasn't alone in his struggles, to all of the time wasted trying to figure things out on his own.

If something you are doing is not increasing your value per hour then it is a distraction and most likely not worth your time. It is important to keep the main thing that you do, the main thing. Focus on the 20% of activities that are bringing in 80% of the income, and feeding your family. If you build your business decisions on feelings, you will fail.

We are projecting that 2023 will be one of, if not the most expensive year ever to raise a crop. Interest rates are up, inflation is up, and this means expenses are up. In times where things are least stable it is most important that you know your numbers and make decisions based on them and not emotion. Not doing this can lead to disaster. If you had a great 2022 make sure you don't lose it in 2023.

We are told if we go to college and get a degree, we will be best suited for what is to come — that was not the case for me. All of what is taught in Legacy Farmer I learned on my own, well after college. We'll spend tons of money on college but will never spend that same money on ourselves to go learn things to bring ourselves or business to the next level.
