Most people were NOT taught the skills to run a successful business…

Aug 05, 2022
  • An accountant spends three years studying their craft 
  • A lawyer spends five years studying their craft 
  • A doctor spends seven years studying their craft
AND they are all required to complete further education each year to maintain their qualifications.

 

Having coached several accountants, lawyers and doctors, they all agree that they were not shown how to run a business, AND that running a business is more challenging than studying for their professions!
 
This is the problem… 

Most people were NOT taught the skills to run a successful business.

  • They haven’t been shown how to lead a business and make strategic decisions.
  • They don’t know how to think and plan strategically and work out the highest priorities (the 20% of tasks that bring them their biggest results).
  • They have no idea how to recruit staff, write job roles and then retain and lead their employees.
  • Marketing is foreign to them, and they neglect it.
  • They have no clue about creating systems to maximise efficiency and get team members to follow these systems.
  • They were not aware of the rigour you need in financial management and how to budget and make good decisions from interpreting the numbers
  • And they certainly weren’t prepared for all of the administration that comes with running a business!
Like farming, learning to run a business is just a skill.
 
Farm Owners Academy have a mission to help over 10,000 farm owners master business!

 

The more you succeed in your farming business:

  • The better this is for the agriculture industry;
  • The more the younger generation of farmers will want to get involved;
  • The better your community functions (more money always brings greater opportunities);
  • The more jobs are created and people are employed; and
  • The more you can have an incredible life making good money and enjoying some much-deserved time off doing what you love.
Farm Owners Academy are business experts.

Over this time, I have also built and sold three companies in different niche markets. Our Managing Director Jeremy Hutchings has coached businesses for over 15 years and runs a successful ‘freedom farm’ himself.
 
We know we can help you.
 
Running a successful farming business is no easy feat, which is why we’re here to help. 

When you’re overwhelmed, it can be hard to know where to start. A question I get asked all the time is “What is the next step for my farm?”. 

If this is you, we want to work with you to understand where you’re at and what you need help with, before we make any recommendations for what to do next. 

Every farmer that comes to us is unique and we tailor our approach to suit. 

So we can understand more about you and your needs, I encourage you to book a Complimentary Coaching Call with our experienced coaches. During this session, we  will work with you to develop a personalised roadmap to achieve your goals and grow your farm. 

From this call we’ll also suggest what program or approach we think is best suited to you, your farm and what you want to achieve. Everyone is different and we do NOT have a ‘one size fits all’ approach. 

You can book your call here.
