I'm from the Midwest, and I've realized that business is a lot like farming. Planting Season; We plant the seeds of our vision, lay the groundwork for action, and set up those seeds for future success. Growing Season; We nurture our business with relentless execution, monitor progress, and make necessary improvements. Harvest Season; We reap the rewards of our labor, celebrating milestones and reflecting on lessons learned. The problem is that many business owners think each season happens all at once. Just as in farming, each season has its unique challenges and opportunities, but with dedication and some patience, you can ensure a fruitful harvest year after year.

  Our entire economic system is based on the false premise of scarcity and fairness. A leader has 100 carrots and 10 people. The leader chooses to give 10 carrots to each person. Nine of those people eat the carrots. One person plants her 10 carrots in the ground. At the end of a single season, she will have 100,000 carrot seeds. Scarcity is contrived and embedded in our minds, blinding us to our potential and our Earth's potential to provide for us. Understanding Earth’s ecosystem processes is the path to abundance. #scarcity #EarthDay #Ecorestoration #abundance AgReserves, Inc. J.R.
