# 19 - How much is enough

How much do you need to achieve financial independence?  Do you have this written down?  Have you completed a capital allocation plan to map out what you need to make in order to reach your goals?  Do you pay yourself the recommended salary of $115k per annum? Is this being paid before you calculate your net profit?  Do you know your return on asset ratio?  Do you know why this is important?  Is your farm operating consistently at a 30% net profit figure, after paying yourself the $115k wage? Are you aware it’s very hard to run a business if your farm is not generating these returns.  Do you have an investment plan to reach financial freedom? Do you know what return you need from these off-farm investments to reach your goals?  These are just some of the things we discuss in today’s podcast.  If you have a goal to reach financial freedom, then this podcast is for you.   Please share this with other farmers.    Andrew    PS - If you are ready to Take Control of your financial situation and make change, email us at [email protected] and we will send you some more information about our signature program – Take Control.
