# 145 - Resourcing Up for Growth
Profitable Farmer - A podcast by Farm Owners Academy
It is clear to me that so many of us are under-resourced. As such, we dedicate 20-40 hours per week to low-value farm activity, often at the expense of CEO-level tasks. For me, this continued focus on low-value activity might save a wage, but it's costing you a FORTUNE. This episode is all about how to break free from that cycle and step into the role of a true business leader. Giving you special insight into our Platinum Mastermind program, this episode is an excerpt from a previous 'Growth Call' webinar that I run monthly with our members. During this call, I am joined by Farm Owners Academy CEO, Sam Johnson, and we have an open conversation with our members about: Identifying where and why we are under-resourced. Shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of growth and abundance, which allows us to see the value in investing in our teams. Practical steps to justify the financial investment in new hires and the long-term benefits this brings. Strategies for recruiting effectively, even in a challenging job market and how to build a team that supports your vision. Creating a clear organisational structure that defines roles and responsibilities, ensuring everyone is aligned and working towards common goals. Thank you, Andrew Driscoll, for sharing your experience in this area, and thank you all for your involvement in this important conversation. Andrew's journey from feeling overwhelmed to strategically resourcing his farm provides a real-world example of the transformation possible when we back ourselves and our vision. To have a FREEDOM FARM, we need to build out our dream team. Let's back ourselves to each get on and get this done! Keep winning. Jeremy Hutchings and the Farm Owners Academy Team
