Most farming families don’t fail because they can’t run a business. They fail because the family part was never properly prepared. Not long ago, the idea of having a coach in agriculture sounded odd — even unnecessary.

Most families wait until something breaks to start succession conversations. High-performing families don’t.

Tim lifts the curtain on what he’s seen after decades around kitchen tables across Australia — the families ...

MINI: Slaying The Entitlement Dragon
What if the real threat to your family business isn’t drought, interest rates, or commodity prices — but entitlement creeping into the next generation? In this Mini Episode, Ben Law — The Financial Bloke — takes aim at the behaviour that quietly rots family businesses from the inside. Entitlement isn’t random, and it’s not “just their personality”.

MINI: Trust The Effort. Let Go Of The Outcome.
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.
