10 Key Principles for Business Growth - Lessons Learned on the Farm
Kristjan points to 10 principles that are the foundation of business growth:
- Know cost and opportunity: “We know our cost of production very, very well. So, we try not to worry too much if we miss the top of the market as long as we’re always locking in margins above cost.”
- Get the Facts, Make a Decision: “Get the facts, make a decision and don’t be scared of that decision. If three weeks from now you find out that decision was wrong, make a new one and get the course right. It’s ingrained in our culture that we’re not scared of making decisions.”
- Take Pride in Your Business: “Our mission is to be an operation of distinction, which is something to be proud of in any enterprise. We have a real passion to help agriculture be viewed as a real business and the backbone of North America.”
- Pursue Perfection: “If your goal is perfection, you’ve got a shot at being excellent. We want to be 5% better at everything instead of 100% better at one thing, whether that’s cleaning out a bin right or making the right marketing decision.”
- Embrace Change: “The idea that ‘if it’s not broke, don’t fix it’ probably isn’t right. You just haven’t looked hard enough.”
- Hire for the Right Culture: “We hire more on attitude and smarts than skill. We like to hire people who like challenges, learning new things, working hard and having a team mentality. That’s the culture we’re trying to create.”
- Keep Good Records: “Have good records both for proactive planning and reactive reprimanding. You can have frank, open discussions on things that need to change, but also be proactive so mistakes don’t happen again.”
- Work Safely: Make it a safe place to work for everybody. Teams should work together and keep an eye on each other.
- Get Outside Perspective: Use outside perspective to collaborate and generate new ideas. Confirming our own ideas with others is also a great way to make the right decision.
- Network: Find out what others are doing to improve their businesses through networking. With everything changing so fast these days, it is important for us to learn what works best as fast as we can.

It was a privilege to moderate a recent panel discussion where Kristjan was one of the speakers. He is a top-notch, inspirational speaker who draws on his experience as a professional accountant, successful entrepreneur, and leader in the agricultural sector.
Kristjan added a great deal of value for our attendees, and he effectively engaged the audience while sharing his story in a truly authentic way. I would highly recommend Kristjan as a thought leader in ag, leadership, and innovation. Thanks again Kristjan!
