The Circle of Control: Choosing your focus in uncertain times

The Circle of Control: Choosing your focus in uncertain times

In this episode, we dive into the Circle of Control, a simple yet powerful framework for managing stress and uncertainty—especially relevant in tough seasons like drought and floods. When so much in farming is outside of our control, how do we shift our energy toward what we can influence?

I explore:

  • How to use the Circle of Control to navigate uncertainty.
  • Managing difficult decisions—like expanding land holdings during dry conditions.
  • Coping with guilt and grief, including losing an animal in your care.
  • Practical strategies to direct your focus where it matters most.

I also answer two listener Ask Steph questions that tie into this theme, sharing real-life examples of how farmers can use this framework to reduce overwhelm and make clearer decisions.

Read More: Watch out for an upcoming article with AuctionsPlus where I explore the Circle of Control in farming.
