Dean Graziosi compares farming with a hoe (40-50 hours per acre) to a 19th-century tractor (30 minutes) to show why waiting to adopt new tools costs you. Those who delay lose market position to competitors who move first.
Fast forward 6 months, fast forward 12 months. What's the cost of not getting started?
I researched— you talked about the tractor and the horse and the car, but I went all the way back to farmers in the 1800s to plant a whole acre of corn. It would average around 40 to 50 hours for a farmer with a hoe and a shovel, put the corn in. When the tractor got invented, the newest technology, it took 30 minutes. And that was with old diesel, you know, or steam engine tractors with metal wheels, but it would take 30 minutes compared to 40 hours. How long could you last as a farmer without a tractor? The farmer with the tractor is buying your property within 6 months, a year?
That's the line right there. The farmer with the tractor is buying your farm.
