from Ranchonomics

Your time is one of the most valuable assets in your business, but are you actually treating it that way? In this episode, John Haskell and Amos Troester explore how ranchers can increase their profitability by understanding the opportunity cost of their time, focusing on high-value work, and putting the right people in the right roles. From buying and selling cattle to planning ahead and learning from others' experience, Amos shares how knowing your worth and better time management can create significant value without simply working more hours.The conversation digs into the real economics of delegation, employee strengths, and focus. Amos and John discuss how to calculate what your time is worth, why paying someone else to handle a lower-value task can actually make you money, and how clear roles, trust, and planning allow everyone on the team to work where they create the most value. They also explore how continually improving your skills can increase the value of your time as your business evolves.Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
