[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 4726226, member: 166"] For some aspects of the business, yes. Benchmarking, major strategy and crop walking mainly. It might be expensive to hire a professional but an amateur is much more costly. If they can add at least 10x their cost to the business in terms of value added then I'm very interested. A college graduate who copies & pastes John Nix pocketbook figures back to me for £120/hour won't last long. I have my own copy thanks! Some times a consultant will tell you what you already know to be true but as above, it is about what drives a valuable decision making process. An outisider's view into your business can be very valuable. The real waste of money is an advisor hired by someone else who the prinicpal then ignores just to make a point. :banghead: Some of my best advice came from a mentor who did it for free and some of the worst came from a consultant who charged a lot of money but had their own agenda. Mostly, I'm happy that they provide good value - farming is a small world and word soon gets around if they are no good. [/QUOTE]
