Noa Schecter came from what used to be a farming country: Israel. Now Israel has “changed their wardrobe,” becoming more entrepreneurial than agricultural, but she remembers field trips to the farm and helping farmers during harvest.

Now she lives in Los Angeles, and she’s an educator and the author of two books: What’s On Your Mind and 51+ Networking Mistakes. She is co-founder and co-owner of The Accelerated Leadership Academy (TALA), a coaching company that creates sustainable results for individuals in the areas of health, wealth, and happiness.

She was kind enough to join me on the podcast, where she translated her “3 Steps to Success” to the world of farming.

Every time we talk to a farmer, we ask, “What’s the number one challenge on your farming operation.” About 99% of them say grain marketing.

Usually our next question is, “Are you working with a grain marketing advisor?” Basically, what are they doing to overcome that challenge? Through those questions, we’ve found that lot of them are afraid of the grain marketing advisors.

So I thought I’d throw together some questions you can ask to help you test an advisor’s credibility. There are so many grain marketing advisors, so this will help you determine if a particular one is the right one for you.
