“I own a farm in which I rent out the land. After about 3 years I would normally adjust the rent to the gentleman who rents it. We write a contract that lasts for 3 years. Well, over the last couple of years commodity prices for corn and soybeans went pretty high. I asked what other farmers were paying for rent next to me and it was Considerably higher than what I was getting at the time. So I looked at My contract and realized that we had a year left. The other farmers’ Contracts had run out either that year or the year before, that’s why They were paying more. I had a year left on mine so I just decided I would Wait until the contract is up and talk to him next year. While this was happening, (Dec.2011) I was listening to the goals and resistance cd’s while I was painting In my house…I would just listen over and over. One night while listening and painting, my renter called me and said He would like to up the rent before the first of the year! So, for 2012 I’m Receiving $300 a month more! And it will go up considerably each year after for 3 more years! I never said a word to anyone about raising the rent. I felt a contract was a contract and I had to honor that. I have to say, he has been my neighbor all my life and his family and I are good friends and he is a good honest man.”
