Why I Stopped Doing Everything Myself (and What Happened Next)
Hey Reader,
Quick question: do you know your actual hourly rate for each enterprise on your farm?
Not revenue. Not profit. Your hourly rate — net divided by hours spent.
Most farmers don’t know this number. And it turns out that’s a pretty expensive thing not to know.
In this week’s video I walk through the math, share a few examples that reframed how I think about this whole thing (including one involving Jeff Bezos giving up 90% of Amazon), and talk honestly about what I changed at Longbottom Farm once I ran the numbers myself.
It’s not a comfortable video. But it’s one of the most useful ones in the series.
