1) Does the consultant speak openly and honestly about their failures? Anyone can sit around and brag about their success. A broken clock is right twice a day. As human beings we have a tendency to give ourselves too much credit for our success, ignore the luck that’s involved with all successful endeavors, and we tend to downplay our failures.
Through experience we learn to appreciate the true, experienced based education that comes from failure. If you think about it, you don’t learn much from winning big, but you never forget your loses and should be grateful for these teaching moments. A cannabis consultant should be no different.
2) ) Is your cannabis consultant willing to teach you or are they always secretive about their methodologies? Although there is incredible value in having the best master grower and their staff with you, best practices should be integrated throughout your company, not isolated with one person or only a handful of people.
A proven system with interchangeable personal is the way to go in this industry. Without taking away the absolute skill that is involved in growing the best cannabis, at the end of the day, there are many people who not only understand the production side of cannabis but also the business side of it. After all, we are here to change the world but also to make some money.
Choose a consultant who will help you do both.
