Does something in your Agribusiness need to change?
You've got a lot of wealth tied up in your agribusiness or farming assets and you've worked hard, sacrificing a lot to get there, but...
Even though you are in a solid financial position, you have hit some roadblocks or challenges. Deep down you know there’s more you could be achieving if you weren’t so damn busy in the day to day operations.
Sound familiar?
Whatever your challenges are, Strategic Coaching can help you get moving towards your bigger picture goals and leverage your opportunities...to grow your operation, kick off that succession planning, plan your retirement, spend more quality time with your family, or finally find some farm/ life balance.
Our programs help you focus, plan, prioritise and work through the roadblocks you're facing. But most importantly, protect family harmony and relationships in the process.
Our Programs
Strategic Roadmaps
Through a series of workshops, we help you establish clearly where you want to be and what your roadblocks are, so you can find a clear path forward for your business and your family. You might have a specific issue or obstacle you need to overcome, be experiencing overwhelm with the sheer amount on your plate, or just need help to get clear and focussed.
Ongoing Coaching & Guidance
Even if you know exactly where you are going, regular coaching and progress meetings ensure you stay on track. Our ongoing coaching packages allow you to choose what level of commitment you are prepared to make right now. They are also fully flexible, so you can scale up or down depending on your changing circumstances.
Facilitated Business/Family Meetings
We can facilitate Business or Family Meetings for your agri- or family business. Whether you need a one-off or regular structured meetings, we can customise a package that best suits your needs. Facilitation will keep you focussed, on track and accountable so you get the most out of your valuable time.
If you are ready to start moving out of frustration, busyness and overwhelm and towards control, growth and family harmony, book a time now for a completely confidential, no-obligation clarity call with Ben.
Meet Ben Law
Ben grew up on a cattle property in northwest NSW and his family are still on the land, so he gets the challenges farming families face.
He also spent the last 20 years professionally advising & coaching rural producers, giving him a unique understanding of both the processes and the strategies necessary to get clear, get focussed & get cracking.
Keep reading below to hear from some families that have worked with Ben.
Hear from families that have worked with Ben...
My husband had passed away unexpectedly, and the properties were too much for me to handle on my own. I knew I needed to find a way to retire and hand the farms over to my adult children. My kids were really understanding but we were all stressed, unclear on what to do and who to trust. More than anything I wanted to make sure our family relationships didn’t suffer.
That’s when I got introduced to Ben. He spent the time to understand and get to know me and the family and then worked with us at our pace.
He explained things so I could understand, helped us solve the many hiccups along the way and made sure we remained ‘unstuck’.
I'm happy, my kids and grandkids are happy and I’m living a wonderful retirement.
Retired Farmer ● Age 66
The family all got on well, but Dad just wouldn't let go.
My wife and I were frustrated that we had worked all these years and still weren't in control of our own future. Mum had wanted to be able to take it easy for years but Dad was a stubborn bugger and didn’t want to make decisions. We're a close family but Dad and I were starting to argue a lot.
We had spoken to our accountant and bank manager several times, but we were still stuck.
When we were introduced to Ben we knew right away he was the bloke for us! But Dad being Dad, was very sceptical.
In a short period of time Ben got to know the old man, and both Dad and Mum quickly felt very comfortable with him.
It was a bit of a process to get us a result but now we couldn't be happier! Mum and Dad are living the dream as they are financially secure, can come and go on the farm as much as they like and spend more time with the grandkids.
My wife and I have been able to drive the business forward and also build our off-farm assets, giving us a retirement plan for when our kids are ready to take over.
We couldn't have done it without someone from outside our situation to bring the family together regularly, and be a calm, independent third party.
Graziers ● Age 38 & 42
We had worked bloody hard and we had done well, but we knew we had some key things we had to do in preparation to be able to retire and hand on a viable operation to our three kids in another 10-15 years.
Another family friend introduced us to Ben 7 years ago and well, we let him know upfront we probably wouldn’t trust him for a long time. He made it clear that he was careful who he worked with too.
To his credit Ben took his time, got to know us, got to know the kids and the main thing was he, always did what he said he would.
He worked with my accountant, bank manager and solicitor and within a short time I found myself trusting him. His parents are graziers so he gets us, but he also spent 20 years as a professional, so he also understands the business and money stuff.
Since we have known him, we have purchased another breeder block, doubled our herd, started investing off farm, have a retirement plan, an estate plan if we die and are in the midst of a solid succession plan.
Our kids like Ben and we trust him, as he is always straight up with us
Graziers ● Age 49 & 52
Maybe you...
Are a growing operation
You have some big goals you want to achieve but are so busy day-to-day working IN your business that you don't have time to work ON your business, or take advantage of opportunities that come your way.
Want to transition the farm/s or business to the next generation
It might be right now or a long way down the track, but either way you know you need help to make sure it goes smoothly and to ensure that both family relationships and wealth are preserved.
Don't want to keep working this hard forever
Maybe you want to travel, spend time with the grandkids or just drop it down a gear as you get closer to retiring. You want to be sure you are financially secure and can live your ideal vision of retirement.
Life is so busy and increasingly complex, it can seem easier to keep on with “head down, bum up” thinking and leave all the bigger picture stuff in the too hard basket, right?
But what is the true cost of not taking action?
If you are ready to start moving out of frustration, busyness and overwhelm and towards control, growth and family harmony, book a time now for a completely confidential, no-obligation clarity call with Ben.
