Folks just like you who are stuck with not knowing how to get the change they so desparately want to see.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll note on the date of this blog, that I haven&#8217;t shown up here for awhile, and my intent is to start a conversation with those who wish to chat about starting tough conversations on the farm.<br \/>\nI read a chapter in Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s book, The Outliers, that spoke about a culture of honour. These folks in the hill country are quick to fight for their honour. I am curious if farmers who are stubborn are really protecting their sense of honour, and they don&#8217;t want to show signs of weakness by asking for outside advisor&#8217;s help.<br \/>\nAsking for help is not a sign of weakness.<br \/>\nActing on the help is a sign of courage and strength.<br \/>\nAnswering the probes of loving family with a well-thought out response is a huge gift to the farm&#8217;s future ability to move forward with a stronger communication style and plan.<br \/>\nSo,<br \/>\nWhen are you going to be ready to do the tough things right, and start talking and listening to your family ?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m signing off now to spend some time building relational capital with my hubby.
