The Skinny Farmer

By Skinny Farmer Goals are good.  Goals can motivate.  Goals help measure success. Everybody knows that. But not me.  Skinny Farmer has discovered that goals can be bad, too.  Goals can hinder.  And goals can give a false reading of where one is with regard to success. Say what? You are probably wondering right now if Skinny Farmer has spent a little too much time in the hot sun. I assure you that I haven't.  Goals aren't all they are cracked up to be. Martha, hide the children!  Skinny Farmer is about to tell them they can be listless drifters! No, I'm not.  What I have found is that there is something much more powerful than goals to help you succeed. What is that?  I'm fixin' to tell you.

We hope you have noticed our tag line by now. Sow Good It's not just a motto. It is our Mission Statement here at The Skinny Farmer. Personally, I think it's pretty clear and speaks for itself. That reminds me. Whenever I hear the phrase, it speaks for itself , it calls to mind of one of my favorite old professors.  I'll call him Professor K.  Back in the day, if a student ever said in class that something speaks for itself, he would indicate for us to be quiet, lift it up to his ear, and listen.  Then he would raise his eyebrows and say, "I don't hear anything." In honor of Professor K, I'll do some speaking in this blog post on behalf of our Mission Statement.  Especially since it directly relates to my not actually being a farmer--at least in the technical sense.
