Life Lessons I Learned From Farmers and Product Leaders
Trust the process…
I grew up in a tiny village. As far as I remember, 99% of the people were farming in the 90s when I was a kid.
Life was simple.
Every morning, a farmer gets food for buffaloes or cows, then milk the cows, sells a little bit, and goes home for breakfast. Their wives, sons, or daughters often join them in the fields with fresh-cooked foods.
All day, they do hard work in the fields.
Then, in the evening, they follow the same ritual: milk the cows or buffaloes, sell a little milk, and go home.
It’s not easy to grow a plant.
Growing a plant needs perfect conditions.
For example, a coffee plant would take 3 to 5 years to fruit.
That’s a really long time.
In this situation, you are not planning for a four-month or one-year crop; you are planning for years ahead.
I learned that planning is important.
In those five years, anything can go wrong.
It’s all about adjusting and keeping moving on.
I learned that it’s okay to take time while developing skills.
