CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY
Our goal with creating this rural succession planning website is to share our real life experiences the good the bad and the downright ugly in the hope that it will help others get started, push through the uncomfortable situations and tackle in our opinion the most fearful and destructive part of the rural sector – rural succession planning.
We truly hope that our story will inspire you to make changes in your life and to work through what we know firsthand is one of the hardest things you can face in any business, in particular a rural family farming business. It is our desire to share with you the way we achieved this amazing outcome and to inspire you to make changes NOW!
Let’s be real about this, succession planning is not a walk in the park!
If it was then we would not be hearing the devastating stories of yet another rural family selling up their family farm because it was just all too hard. Succession planning is hard work and anybody who tells you otherwise is kidding themselves and you. It is so difficult in fact that most families just stay stuck! Or they progress so far and give up because they believe they are stuck in situations where they feel as though they cannot make changes, we know because we have been there ourselves.
SUCCESSION PLANNING CAN BE SUCCESSFUL
Let’s not be fooled succession planning is not an easy topic to embark on, however it is achievable to succeed, we hope by sharing our knowledge on succession planning and our real life experiences with you it may save you precious time and most of all precious relationships.
It goes without saying that the longer you avoid starting your family succession journey and allow issues to remain unresolved the larger they become, 100% guaranteed!
We know all too well the feeling of going to bed at night with the day’s turmoil running through our heads, wondering what the hell to do next!
We are here as proof that you can turn relationships around, through careful planning, education and negotiations. We have also seen some of the worst family relationships turned around with education and knowledge, including our own, we were after all your typical rural family business struggling with the same family succession challenges that I guarantee you are facing right now!
