For the want of a better life

I spoke to a Farmer over the weekend who says that around 5 years ago, he was treading water and going nowhere in life and business. He reached a point where he said to himself that he wanted to have a better life. So to do that, he had to have a massive shift in his attitude, make some pretty big changes, and with that, he vowed to take some risks in order to fill the potential he thought he possessed. He took one very big risk but buying a disused mining accommodation setup in the Oatback. You know, the fly-in, fly-out ones. He managed to purchase it, dismantle it, and sell it off in bits and pieces. That was a pivoting moment both from a financial and confidence perspective. It got him going. He took it on because it was outside the Ag industry, so he had to think a little differently. And from that point, his life changed for the better. Now, he has worked out he’s ok at Farming, but he is much better at doing deals on things, and that’s now where he spends most of his time. Having dealt with this guy for many years, I have seen a dramatic change in his attitude and his ability to do things. It’s been a turnaround of note. How many of us have ever asked ourselves if we want a better life? What do you need to do if you are looking to change your life around? Reply to [email protected]
