Platinum Mastermind
- It’s so much more, it’s such a complete package that we didn’t even realize when we were signing up.
- Getting a room full of fantastic people who you can learn from as well as the staff of Farm Owners who have just such a wealth of knowledge with mindset and coaching and just the accountability.
- The benchmarking results that we got three years ago as opposed to the ones we got now are just amazing.
- The roadmap for our future is looking bright. We’ve got the skills and the tools that Farm Owners have given us and yes, onwards and upwards for us.

- You come to a place like this and to have 150 people in the exact same mindset that are transfixed on everything they say, it’s a great moment.
- This seemed to tick all the boxes we did, so we jumped at it. The more we looked at it, the more we realized we definitely needed it and wanted it.
- Empowering was how it felt. You’re in control of everything.
- We’ve been in the program for two years now and we’ve got so many more things out of it than when we signed up.

Platinum Mastermind
- At first, I felt guilty when I wasn’t doing labor in the farm. Now, I’m making more money being in the office, planning and making bigger decisions.
- We’ve seen our development skyrocket in 2 years.
- Whether you are young or old farmer, we suggest having a coach as it was a game-changer for us. We learned to start from our future end goal to what we are currently doing which is the best thing we ever did.

- Having that freedom to be able to choose our roles that we play in the farm. Now nearly 3 years into Farm Owners Academy we’ve really developed the systems and core business.
- It’s really fast tracked us and given me the skills and structure to go through that process.
- Having the Farm Owners Academy team, that support network there to be able to do that has just been fantastic.
Byron Kirkland
Platinum Mastermind
- We’re leaps and bounds ahead of where we were, we only just wish we got into something like this a lot earlier.
- Greg came out and spent just one day with us talking, we’re now out of debt and moving ahead… it was a 2 year turnaround.
- Since joining Farm Owners Academy, we got rid of a third of our farm and maintained our stocking rates, now we’re making more money than we were before.
- The most useful thing I’ve learnt from Farm Owners Academy is the benchmarking, the planning has definitely helped us… we have so much more time on our hands now.
Dion Woolford
Platinum Mastermind
- Farm Owners Academy has changed the way we look at our farm. We now look at it like a business because that’s exactly what it is.
- When we first started Farm Owners Academy I was definitely quite apprehensive about what was ahead but looking back on it knowing what we know now, there’s no way we wouldn’t go through it again.
- I couldn’t recommend it enough.

- As we move through the course it became very apparent and very evident that there’s a lot that we have learnt that we can apply to our business that was a huge help to not only improve our profitability but also improve the efficiency and structure.
- I would highly recommend this course to someone else.

- We came to FOA to get some direction and tools to progress us to the next level.
- We now have a long-term strategy of bringing younger family members into the business and plan our exit out.
- We learnt there are support systems and tools out there that we can access.
- There’s a whole network of farmers looking for the same things, and we can bounce of each other by becoming involved in FOA.
- My take home message is: write down your jobs and goals…. if its not written down it doesn’t happen
Dave & Bianca McGiveron
Take Control Program
- This time last year we were mentally struggling, our heads weren’t in the right place, we were playing the victim and felt everything was out of our control.
- This year we’re in such a better position because the TOP Producers Workshop gave us tools to put some action into place.
- Despite the drought we had a record month and we’re on track to achieve a revenue of $1m by this time next year!
- We’re so grateful for the tools you have given us to exceed in our business.
Cameron England
Platinum Mastermind Testimonial
- Prior to me joining Farm Owners Academy, it was all work hard in order to achieve in life, whereas now we are working smarter. We have more efficiencies by having an amazing workman, it has really freed me up to spend time on the strategic side of the business. By having the right staff, the right systems, and strategies in place we can do that.
- Since joining Farm Owners Academy, we have now set ourselves a goal of 40 kilograms of clean fleece weight per hectare, which is a 33% increase on our first two benchmarks .
- We’ve got goals and targets, 1-year, 3-year,10-year goals and off/on farm investments to make sure that down the track when it comes time to hand over, or whatever happens in our succession planning, it’s going to make that process so much easier by planning from an early age. I know that if we implement the strategies that we have learnt through Farm Owners Academy, follow the process, have our goals in place that we will achieve them and go beyond.
- “It has honestly changed our life and it will change our future generations life”.
