This Strategy Eliminates the Need to Sell Physical Assets to Make Money [Audio Podcast]

Once payment is received and ownership has changed hands, the seller of a physical product can no longer – legally – seek to earn income from the sale of that particular “sold” item.

The media has been awash with news about Nigeria’s national assets, and plans by the government to sell them to raise badly needed funds.

But I ask: What happens after that?

Are we going to sell human beings (our human “assets”?) to get money to implement our budgets, since Oil sales have refused to improve?

Of course not.

The problem I see is that the assets being talked about are ONLY the physical ones – they are items that can only be sold once.

Sadly, the thinking prevalent in the Nigerian social space, is indicative of a severe lack of insights relevant to profitable money making using INTANGIBLE ASSETS in today’s Information Age.

Yes.

I’m saying Nigeria (and her citizens) has (have) many intangible assets that, well leveraged, can – and should – be aggressively used to generate multiple streams of income in various areas.

What I refer to is being done by progressive nations in Africa, Asia, Europe and America!

In this audio I analyze the faulty – yet deeply ingrained – mental attitude (deriving mainly from the kind of schooling we undergo) that’s preventing Nigerians in and out of government from adopting a ready-to-use strategy (employed by developed nations) that can make generation of valuable foreign exchange earnings a regular, reliable reality.

The best part is we already have EVERYTHING we need to begin using it and profiting from doing so, from today.

However our success (or otherwise) will be greatly determined by how willing we are to CHANGE our faulty mental attitudes and socio-economic habits.

Email me via tayo at tksola dot com (with “Intangible Assets” in the subject line), to request the download link to this 20 minute audio podcast.

In it, I propose ready-to-use ideas for zero cost adoption by individuals or groups in government or society, that – properly used – eliminate the need to sell physical assets you own, to raise funds you need.

It’s always so much fun to be able to think up new ways to communicate with my target audience!

Lol: Notice how my promo fee EQUALS Nigeria’s age multiplied by 100? Like I said, I love having fun doing what I do :-)

=Starts=
Good afternoon sir,

I am just getting your mail now. But I don’t know if you have a famer that can supply 2000 crates of eggs to Apapa latest by tommorow evening @ 705 plus transport. A 30% down payment after delivery and 70% payment in two weeks… My uncle’s farm can’t carry that presently as we have customers plenty on our neck oo

I’d contacted the above quoted CEO on behalf of a client seeking bulk buyers.

This updatable Bulk Buyers & Sellers database I’m compiling will empower parties on both sides. The requests I get confirm this.

I’m using my Excel-VB Driven Business Contacts Manager software to compile the data

PII 033: Five Ways to Make Money in Nigeria Without Spending Money [5 Week Email Course Based on True Stories]

Exactly ONE year ago, today, I launched my Spontaneous Coaching to become a Master of Adversity (MA) ™ program

In it, I offer my over 2 decades of hard won experience based insights on how to succeed – in spite of daunting adversity – by doing what MOST sane, logical minded, “commonsense” people would NOT do

My achievements are proof that this is true. I practice what I preach. As a result, I am able to thrive in the face of challenges.

Today, with the extreme visitations of hardship being experienced by most people, especially in Nigeria, insights like those that I offer can yield potentially valuable rewards.

Of all the challenges being faced by people, and businesses however, it is the financial one that is most painful, and limiting.

Sadly, most people are at a loss as to what they can do. In most cases what they have always done to make money, and which is more or less the only way they know, is NOW no longer working as well as it used to. Or in some cases it is simply NOT working any longer. In other words, their income has more or less dried up – and they are scared, terrified even – understandably too.

Indeed, when you listen to conversations amongst people in society as well on social, and mass media in general, one consistent refrain you hear is THERE IS NO MONEY.

The problem I however see is that most of those complaining fail to realize that the real problem with things as they are today, for them and others around, is NOT that there is NO MONEY.

Nope.

Instead it is that there is a paucity or disappointing lack of CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE thinking on the part of most people, especially in the Nigerian social space.

Don’t get me wrong. People are being creative and innovative. The problem I see is that they are doing it in conventional ways.

Very few, if at all any are consciously choosing to step out of, or even destroy the figurative “box” completely in applying their creative and innovative abilities.

This is why most of the results they continue to get, remain for the most part far from being exceptional.

Unfortunately, the times we’re in require exceptional results, for useful advancement to be made. People need to do away with traditional ways of looking at problems in society, and begin to embrace new and different ways of approaching them.

One good example is how we continue to talk lack of money. We fail to see the point that geniuses like Robert Kiyosaki and Dan Kennedy have been making about money for years.

It was from reading the works of the former, that I learned to THINK up ways to PRINT my own money, and it’s being a valuable skill that has helped me grow as in my work, financially and professionally – regardless of the prevailing socio-economic circumstances.

And from the latter, that is Mr. Kennedy, I learned that I did NOT need to have (or spend) money in order to make money.

“I have long taught: if you can’t make money without money, you won’t make money with money either. And if you’re going to back somebody, pick an entrepreneur who has proven that he can survive without adequate capital” – Dan Kennedy (Millionaire Entrepreneur/Author of “How to succeed in Business by breaking all the rules”)

 

What I’m saying in essence is that too many people are focusing on the wrong thing i.e. the “lack of money”, when in fact what they need to do is focus on doing engaging in creative and innovative activities in NEW and UNPRECEDENTED ways (emphasis VERY deliberate) to create value that earns them money they need.

I practice, what I preach above. It is how I have worked and lived for years, right here in Africa, and I have a small but growing army of loyal clients who do business with me in the manner I describe above.

The interesting thing is that I continue to evolve new and better ways of doing what I do, and sometimes when I think of how simple and easy the methods I use are, I feel a bit guilty.

Especially when I hear or read others with what I consider greater talents, or abilities and resources that I have at my disposal moaning about hard times. They focus so narrowly on the one or few ways of doing what they do, missing the opportunities to be had from operating the way I do.

This is why I’ve resolved to launch

“Five Ways to Make Money in Nigeria Without Spending Money [Based on Verifiable Real Life Achievements]”

It’s a 5 Week Email course that I will deliver to subscribers with support to help them get STARTED making money BEFORE they finish the course.

For each of the 5 ways, I will supply real life case studies from start to end, with names, dates and locations, to back up all my claims.

Then I will explain the process by which the learner can REPLICATE and/or ADAPT what I did to succeed in his/her own unique area of interest or expertise.

In other words, I will deliver the training content to you, and then make practical suggestions about how you can make use of my ideas to achieve your own success.

You will then put what you’ve learned to use, with my support and guidance, until you get it right and begin selling.

This program is however NOT for all comers.

First you have to qualify. I must see potential for success in terms of who you are, what you do, which I will establish via a Needs Analysis Session. But that will only apply to people who are NOT already my clients.

Anyone on my clients list has already gone through that screening process.

[Recommeded] Japanese water-fueled-cars: the beginning of a new generation of green vehicles – The American Bazaar

The futuristic car can also use sea water.

Water, the elixir of life that makes you run, could also run your car pretty soon and just a liter of water, any kind of water, be it river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea as a Japanese clean energy technology company, Genepax, that had been working on the prototype of such a car has finally unveiled the car in the western city of Osaka.

#####

The above is the preview of a news report about the above mentioned car.

This weekend I’m taking a break from publishing both the Farm CEO newspaper and the Excel-VB newsletter.

I’m doing this in preparation for a BIG announcement I’ll be making in my Performance Improvement Ideas (PII) newsletter tomorrow.

The theme will be “Creativity and Innovation”

For now, I share the news report below about a new invention that was first announced 8 years ago, and which if mass produced commercially can (as an old schoolmate put it in Whatsapp) can one day, make crude oil “rot in the ground! And greedy pursuit of crude money will finally end naturally!”

But guess what?

Despite the massive multidimensional benefits to be had from use of this new invention, it’s taking so long to go LIVE.

That’s a sign that powerful forces reaping from sales of crude oil and its byproducts are probably not too happy.

Just the savings on carbon emissions and damage to the Ozone layer alone should be making nations fall over themselves to adopt it.

For instance, I personally see opportunity for Nigeria to benefit greatly if a version of that company’s Water Energy System (WES) technology is channeled into making power generators, in addition to existing water powered car engines.

If only our billionnaires and government would consider investing in that Japanese company with a clause that the factories be built in Nigeria!

Due to the fact that it perfectly captures the experience-based reservations I’ve expressed in my Best Practice Parenting articles over the years, I’ve been sharing the powerful video reviewed in this Huffington Post report for weeks via email and Whatsapp: Contact me if you want me to send it to you.

I’ve appended a preview ending with URL to the full article below.

[Workshop for Kids – by a Kid] Build Your Own Battery Powered Toy Bike!

What is your child’s genius? Do you know?

Many parents do NOT know that schooling is a means to an end, and NOT an end in itself.

That’s why they focus so much on “schooling” their kids, and pay little or no attention to EDUCATING their kids in readiness for real world relevant success outside school.

This is why we have so many people who leave school with brilliant grades and go on to struggle to make impact in life.

It is why (as Robert Kiyosaki notes in his book) we see C students becoming more successful and employing A students after they all leave school.

It is also why we see UNSCHOOLED persons or school drop outs doing far better in the real world than their schooled counterparts.

I argue, as a Best Practice Parenting Advocate, that a parent’s NUMBER ONE role in giving his/her child an education is NOT to pay school fees, uniforms, textbooks etc. Neither is it to pay for access to summer school and exams.

Your primary role in your child’s education is the help him/her identify, and nurture to full bloom his/her God-given genius. This may or may NOT be along academic lines -and that is why YOU must avoid following the crowd of uninformed parents to give your child a one-sided education.

My audio podcast series titled “The Difference Between Schooling and Education” offers a LOT of real world relevant experience based insights designed to help you do your job well as a parent, so your child can thank you in future.

Like the cartoon of Einstein below shows, we are not all wired to learn or achieve in the same way!

einstein

The letter below, reportedly sent by the principal of an Indian school to parents of kids just before the exams, further underscores the point being made

ht-to-parents

And what is the point being made?

 

It is that HUMAN BEINGS have multiple intelligences and can therefore not go through life doing the same things the same way.

Each person will fare best if allowed and supported to make use of his/her unique gifts and abilities.

Imagine kids being able to build functional toys of this kind by themselves, instead of having their parents spend money to buy them?!

I am VERY close to each of my kids, and have spent hundreds of hours narrowing down to what they currently consider their natural passions, while controlling their exposure to conventional schooling in a way that ensures its potentially damaging effects on creativity are minimised.

PII 032: Maximise Returns by Integrating Rabbit Farming into Your Farm Operations [True Story: Excerpts from my response to a tweeted request from Eno, a Nigerian Rabbit farm owner]

Below: Screenshot of a tweeted request from Eno, a Nigerian Rabbit farm owner.

I’ve been passionately preaching the gospel of Commercial Rabbit Farming on this blog for years (see past articles below). This is because I believe its potential as a high quality protein supplying micro livestock (aka “Biological Refrigerator) is grossly underestimated.

It is for that reason that I always go out of my way to support any rabbit farming enthusiast or practitioner who reaches out to me (e.g Korku, the soft-spoken Accra based Rabbit Farm CEO client who purchased my Excel-VB Ration Formulator and Feed Formulation Handbook 2 months ago).

PII 032: Maximise Returns by Integrating Rabbit Farming into Your Farm Operations [True Story: Excerpts from my response to a tweeted request from Eno, a Nigerian Rabbit farm owner]

Screenshot of a tweeted request from Eno, a Nigerian Rabbit farm owner

I’ve been passionately preaching the gospel of Commercial Rabbit Farming on this blog for years (see past articles below). This is because I believe its potential as a high quality protein supplying micro livestock (aka “Biological Refrigerator) is grossly underestimated.

It is for that reason that I always go out of my way to support any rabbit farming enthusiast or practitioner who reaches out to me (e.g Korku, the soft-spoken Accra based Rabbit Farm CEO client who purchased my Excel-VB Ration Formulator and Feed Formulation Handbook 2 months ago).

Based on my personal experiences doing it in the past (which drives my vision to go into it via my proposed Farm Business Support Centre), I believe Rabbit Farming, properly done, offers low cost, multiple high income generating benefits, beyond sales of meat to include production of a wide variety of money making handicrafts from its many byproducts.

The tweeted request from Eno, a Nigerian Rabbit farm owner therefore excited me so much that I decided to feature it in this week’s issue of my Performance Improvement Ideas (PII) newsletter, with my response – which is in form of excerpts from notes I sent to a group of clients, earlier in the year.

I’ll end by saying that the versatility of the rabbit in terms of what it can eat and convert to flesh/meat, makes it an excellent animal to rear on ANY farm – or indeed in any backyard or homestead farm.

A little creative thinking and planning by most crop farmers can enable them integrate rabbit farming into their operations to maximise returns from their enterprises.

This can be done simply by developing systems to use relevant wastes to feed their rabbits for meat production purposes at a fraction of conventional costs.

If you need help making use of the ideas I’ve advocated here, click here to sent me a message.

Below: My response to Eno…

Thanks for your inquiry Eno.

I’m currently in Nigeria. But back in April 2016, I traveled from Cotonou to visit Songhai’s Porto Novo headquarters, on behalf of some members of my Farm Business Ideas Club, to make inquiries about pineapples, rabbits, grasscutters etc.

I notice you mentioned Ghana – and I am aware from speaking with my client, Korku, that they do have some good breeds there, though I do not have breed specific information. However, even he has spoken to me about the possibility of getting superior breeds from Benin Republic!

This is why I believe your best best would be to get what you need from Songhai – they are the ones I can vouch for in terms of the integrity of breeding stock you can purchase. I cannot however tell you what kinds of breeds they have in stock.

The Songhai officers I’ve met told me their rabbits are reared on another site located in a town called Savalou, but I have not been able to follow up the contacts and get the needed info.

TIP: It would help greatly if you can speak French in reaching out to, or visiting them. But they do also have officers proficient in English.

  1. Click here to visit the Songhai website | Click here to use the contact form
  2. Click here to contact them through their excitingly updated Facebook page (Don’t leave without LIKING it!!!)

Below are excerpts from an email broadcast I sent to my Farm CEO clients. It offers information I obtained directly from the officers I met

I shared this information below in my Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas club’s group on Facebook (see https://www.facebook.com/groups/992652147472525/?ref=bookmarks) back in April 2016.

I’ve posted it on this blog, in responding to YOU, Eno, so as to afford other interested persons access to it via a link I can easily send out in future…I love to save my time :-)

Hope this helps – but do let me know if you need further assistance.

With kindest regards,

Tayo

PS: It goes without saying that the information below is NOT under my control, and the prices stated may have changed since the date(s) I obtained them. You will have to contact the gentleman I mentioned to establish the current status.

I finally got through to Monsieur Victor Boko at Songhai about the snails:

He said Songhai does not sell its snails – but offers training.

Will ask around for possible sources that sell snails of the kind needed for this business..

A note on current exchange rate: Last week I cashed N50k naira equivalent for approx FCFA 103k.

That means the Naira devaluation has resulted in a 2:1 ratio instead of the 3:1 ratio that existed (Naira : FCFA) before the crash.

So, you need to divide the FCFA prices given below by 2 instead of 3, to convert to the Naira equivalent.

1. Une famille de Aulacode [A family of Grasscutters] 4 females + 1 male – FCFA 90,000.0

2. Rabbits – FCFA 15,000 for one adult rabbit.

…deleted text…

I tried calling this morning to ask about snails, but he has not picked up.

He speaks French. Not sure if English is okay for him. But I’m told Porto Novo is Ajase, and many of them speak Yoruba. You may call him and try to communicate in English or Yoruba. I will keep trying here.

3. Caisse de transport (transport case)-

This is optional.

Price = FCFA 10,000.0

4. Certificat Sanitaire – this is needed to transport live animals across borders.

Price = FCFA 5,000.0

ExcelVB Case Study: Code to hide the row for a cell that contains a specific text string

“Dear sir, Can you have a vb code in the condition that i want to hide (not to delete) the entire row if a particular cell has “katol”………. Please do it for me sir.

I created this Excel-VB coding tutorial in response to the above request from Pravin which he sent via my Facebook page on Sunday 18th Sept 2016 as a case study for members of my Excel Heaven Visual Basic Automation Club

[NB: By way of interest, I’ve had to respond to Pravin’s request once before in this same manner – click here. At the bottom of this post, I reproduce a detailed message I initially sent to him, explaining why I may find it difficult to respond to future requests of this nature from him – pointing out a useful forum he can visit to get reliable answers to his queries.]

Below: A screenshot of the MS Excel Worksheet I formatted the code driven interface to fit into [Click here to download the workbook with the code]

pravin-case-study

Steps to follow

In order to to have a cell’s row hide and unhide based  on the occurrence of a specific value,  it’s best to  write code for it in a Worksheet_Change event:

  1. Open a blank MS Excel workbook and click on the Worksheet Tab labeled Sheet1 to select it
  2. Next Press Alt+F11 to access the Visual Basic Editor
  3. In the Project Explorer Window, double click Sheet1 to open that Worksheet’s code window

TIP:  You can compress steps 2 and 3 into one by simply right clicking on the Sheet1 Worksheet tab after step 1 and clicking VIEW CODE on the shortcut menu that appears, to open the Worksheet’s code window

  1. Copy and paste the code below into the Worksheet’s code window

====Starts====

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    If Range(“CheckValue”).Value = “Katol” Then

        Range(“CheckValue”).EntireRow.Hidden = True

       

    ElseIf Range(“CheckValue”).Value <> “Katol” Then

        Range(“CheckValue”).EntireRow.Hidden = False

    End If

End Sub

====Ends====

  1. Recall from previous tutorials that I use range names to identify Excel objects I want to use code to refer to.

So, in the case of Pravin’s example, I’ve named the cell in which “Katol” appears, as “CheckValue” (the yellow coloured cell).

  1. Note the buttons to the top left of this frame – for posting the test string into the yellow cell and for erasing the cell’s contents. The code behind them is reproduced in the explanation boxes below them.

Below: Detailed message I initially sent to Pravin this evening, explaining why I may find it difficult to respond to future requests of this nature from him.

I pointed him to a useful forum he can visit to get reliable answers to his queries. I reproduce it here in order to give the reader greater insight into how I do what I do, as it relates to coaching members of my Excel-VB club while working as a multi-discplinary expert.

Hi Pravin.

It would be my pleasure to send you the code to hide a cell or range. But like I told you before, I do a lot of things that require my serious attention. For instance right now, I’m modifying my Excel-VB Poultry Farm Manager for a new buyer who requested changes, and after that I need to prepare 2 newsletters and also write 4 articles for a UK client. I simply do not have the kind of time others do, to respond to requests of this nature.

In other words, I’m NOT your usual Excel expert who does only Excel based work. I am a multipreneur, engaged in various vocations, that take my time.

But I have a vision to build Excel-VB developers in my primary target market of Nigeria/Africa. I happen to think YOU have lots of experts in your country or region you can reach out to.

To do what I do out here, I feel if I am to add value to someone, it is best that I empower him/her to be able, even if over time, to find out how to do such stuff and others s/he may desire to do, by him or herself

It is for this reason that I prefer to challenge any persons who reach out to me to commit to EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. I do NOT believe in TELLING people how to do things. Instead i believe in guiding them to discover how to write their own code.

So, responding to requests like yours tend to be difficult for me, especially since you are NOT in my coaching club. Unlike what obtains in YOUR country and other non-African nations, access to the Internet here is such that I simply cannot make myself available to respond to all requests. It not only costs a lot, but it also tends to be erratic in nature – plus I have a lot I’m doing.

Most importantly, and I have told you this before, there are people who run websites who invite visitors to send them such requests. A good example is http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/index.php – the forum at Mr Excel. There you can register and post ANY questions you have for experts to answer.

In my case, I am primarily focused on building Excel-VB skills in niche markets in MY country, and my strategy does NOT require that I make myself available to respond to all comers, much as I would like to.

Instead, I have to focus on serving people within my network, based on their specific needs as business users. That is why my Excel-VB club is my priority.

I will therefore end by telling you what I have told you before:

I will make out time to create a tutorial based on what you specified above for you, which I will use to teach my club members, featuring YOU in my broadcast to them.

However, AFTER I do this, let me make it clear that I will NOT be able to take on ANY requests you make in future – except you choose to join my Excel-VB Club.

I hope my offer is acceptable to you. If not, I advise that you visit http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/index.php and post your question there.

Maybe in future I’ll be able to re-invent the way I work, to take on all comers. For now, this is the best I can do.

With kindest regards,

Tayo
