MINI: The Farm is Not Your Super Fund!

Ben Law Season 2 Episode 7

Think your farm is your retirement plan? Think again.

In this confronting MINI EPISODE, Ben Law — The Financial Bloke — takes aim at one of the most dangerous beliefs in family agriculture: “The farm is my super fund.”

That mindset has quietly blown up more successions than droughts or disputes ever have.

You’ll discover:

  • Why relying solely on the farm for retirement is a recipe for regret
  • How off-farm assets create options — and protect your family from debt and dysfunction
  • A practical starting point for building retirement income without sacrificing the business
  • Real-world examples of what happens when you plan ahead… and when you don’t

This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to transition the farm without tearing the family apart — and leave a legacy with options, not obligations.

You’ve built a serious business — scaled, profitable, and something to be proud of.
 But here’s the question: what happens next?

That’s exactly what we’ll help you do at the High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop — back this October by demand.

In two days off-farm, you’ll create a clear 10-year fam
