Listen "This 30-Minute Habit Made My Farm (and Life) Profitable"
Episode Synopsis
If you don’t set daily priorities, you’re hustling backwards—and losing time, money, and peace. In this episode, Jim Coleman breaks down how daily priorities and personal productivity changed his life and rebuilt Coleman Crest Farm.You’ll hear how Jim transformed “hustling backwards” into strategic wins through daily habits, productivity tools, and focused decision-making. As a former corporate executive and now full-time farmer, Jim blends Wall Street wisdom with dirt-under-your-nails discipline. His simple planning method—writing down your 5 to 10 daily priorities each morning—has helped him turn a struggling property into a profitable, USDA-certified organic farm.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone feeling stuck, disorganized, or overwhelmed. Jim doesn’t sell hacks—he offers something better: a mindset shift. He explains how most people don’t plan to fail, they just fail to plan. He dives into startling stats: 90% of Americans can’t cover a $2,000 emergency, and most retirees have less than $100K saved. What’s missing? Daily intention and long-term financial planning.Through personal stories about his upbringing, his time at Howard University, and his journey running Coleman Crest Farm, Jim shows how effective planning leads to peace of mind, strong health, and lasting wealth. He gives listeners a copy-and-paste system: write down your goals, keep them visible throughout the day, check them off by night. It’s a simple act, but it’s changed everything for him.Jim also discusses how this discipline helped fund college for his five siblings, build equity in the farm, and grow a high-performing organic operation—all without overwhelming stress or debt. He challenges listeners to ditch distractions, eliminate urgent-but-unimportant tasks, and double down on what really matters.If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, or if you’ve ever wondered how some people seem to “have it all together,” this episode delivers the truth: it’s not talent or luck—it’s planning.Whether you’re in business, farming, or simply trying to get ahead, this episode is your reminder to stop hustling backwards. Instead, plan your work and work your plan.
