This is for you if:
You’re finishing 2025 feeling reactive, behind, or stretched too thin
Most of your “plan” lives in your head or in scattered notes
You know you need to think more like a CEO, but the day-to-day keeps getting in the way
You’re tired of shifting from crisis to crisis and want a calmer, more intentional way of running the business
You want 2026 decisions to actually support where you want to be by 2030
You do not need a polished business plan to attend. You just need the willingness to pause, zoom and look at where you’re heading.
After two incredibly tough years, many farming and rural businesses are ending 2025 feeling tired, stretched thin and in a reactive mindset.
If your strategy is still “in your head”, or you’re making decisions on the run, this masterclass is for you.
