How to Find Customers That Value Your Products
In this episode of the Profitable Mindset, we talk about how to find customers that value your products. Like most farmers, you probably live in a rural area where it’s hard to find people that value high-quality food. Customers don’t appreciate what you sell and don’t see the value in paying top-dollar for their meats, eggs, dairy, or produce. Am I right? Where Are All The People That Value Farm Fresh Products? Have you ever said, “I hate selling and I hate marketing. I don't feel appreciated. I can’t find people who value my products or are willing to pay what they’re worth.” And you’re probably thinking “if I lived in a place where more people understood all the hard work that went into creating or developing such a high-quality product then I'd make more sales.” Let me tell you, you’re not alone. Today, I’m here to show you how to find the right customers that are willing to pay your high prices for a quality product. And my answer might surprise you — tune in to listen! P.S. On Friday, June 7 at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET I have a brand new training called 4 Mistakes That are Costing You Sales on the Farm. In the FREE training, I talk about what you need to avoid if you're just starting our farm and what you should be doing instead. It's the first time I've done this training live and I'd love for you to come. Sign up here: FREE TRAINING

25 Steps You Need to Start Your Farm Business (part 2)
Part 2 of 2. For the last 10 years, I’ve been milking cows twice a day — every day — and that’s the easy part. Little did I know that starting and running a full-time farm has legal aspects that I never thought of. If 10 years ago, someone asked me “what’s my EIN number?” I would have looked at them like they were crazy and had no clue what they were talking about. Today life is not the same. We live, we learn and now, I teach. Maybe that’s you today. You’re not sure what you’re getting yourself into and you don’t know where to start. I get it. This episode and the few that will follow will help guide you in the right direction so that you can start and set up your farm business the right way — the first time. The ultimate goal is for you to establish yourself as a real business, making real money doing what you love and turning a profit every year. That’s the goal and I hope you’ll join me on this journey to a profitable farm on the Profitable Mindset Podcast. Click here to listen in iTunes now!
