What if the secret to lasting success in farming, family, and life isn’t about controlling every detail — but about knowing when to let go?

In this mini episode, Ben Law shares the mindset he’s seen in the most successful farming families over the last 25 years: do your absolute best, then release the outcome. From the paddock to the boardroom, the lesson is the same. You can prepare the soil, sow the seed, and spray the weeds — but you can’t control the rain.

Ben unpacks how clinging too tightly breeds stress, brittleness, and unhappiness — while the families who thrive are the ones who work hard, set clear standards for “their best,” and then trust the process. You’ll hear practical ways to build this mindset: defining your best, dropping perfection, reframing setbacks, and zooming out when small problems feel overwhelming.

This isn’t fluffy theory. It’s the quiet confidence that keeps high-performing families resilient, future-focused, and — let’s be honest — happier.

So, where in your life are you gripping too tight right now? And what would change if you trusted your effort and let go of the rest?
