I was lying in bed last night thinking about tax , as you =
do............. and also about goals etc .

I suppose setting clear goals and writing them down is vital to the =
success of your farm business.

I now know goals need to be SMART

Specific
Measurable
Agreed
Realistic
Time Constrained

I also know that if my goals aren't specific , measurable , or time =
constrained then I won't be able to answer yes to this question .

Who has been through this process and found it to work well etc......?

I sometimes wonder if I could use the services of a good farm advisor =
but my banker said it was a standing joke at the bank that most farm =
advisors are failed farmers themselves.......This is coming straight =
from the horses mouth . Hmmmmm...

At present I'm getting some great help from people at the DPI=20
