[Update: Cover for Issue 02 added] On Monday 8th June 2015, I’ll publish the maiden issue of Self-Development Academy’s “THE FARM CEO:” a “small” niche digital newspaper (which will be available in PRINT to interested subscribers).
Below is a screenshot of a teaser preview.
I serve a growing base of mainly Farm Business CEOs. This newspaper aims to help them do what they do better.
Every week, it will serve them results from research and investigations I conduct into ideas and strategies/latest findings for farm business improvement.
It does not matter what part of the world you are based.
I have farm CEO clients from in and out of Africa – as far as North America and the UAE – and I guarantee they WILL also find this paper’s contents useful.
What is important is that you contact me, indicating your interest in getting a copy.
Note that you will receive the first issue FREE – digitally. Subsequently, you will be required to subscribe at $3 USD per month, to continue receiving weekly issues.
If you wish, the PRINT copies will be mailed to you via post (terms apply).
CONTENT (WHAT TO EXPECT)
Subscribers to this newspaper will receive my reviews of news compiled from research and other industry sources, both on and off the web (including farm visits I do as I travel across West Africa).
In other words, you will get access to ready to use information and education from stakeholders across the world, delivered to you via this paper. This will give you smart ideas of what’s working and how to apply it to make your farm business succeed more. If you had to do this yourself, it would take you MUCH more time, effort & money!
ADVERTS
Advert spaces available for purchase by farms & providers of all genres e.g. Consultants, raw materials/feed suppliers, equipment suppliers, disease diagnostic service providers etc

SOFTWARE/PRODUCTS
All my existing farm business support products including my popular Feed Formulation Handbook, Ration Formulator Software, Poultry Farm Manager Etc will be periodically offered at special discount prices.
This publication will run into at least 2 or more pages, per issue, depending on the volume of useful news to be served. Note that where relevant URLs to relevant sources for further reading will be provided.
My vision is to make this the No. 1 most reliable compilation for Farm CEOs.

When defending his title for the first time, under his new name (Muhammad Ali), the crowd roundly booed Cassius Clay and cheered Sonny Liston. Yet Ali knocked out Liston in round 1. Some claim it was a phantom punch (but that’s a whole other issue) – MY point is that YOUNG Ali’s self-confident, and cocky attitude, bordering on what some called “arrogance”, earned him lots of criticism.
But Ali never let the negativity get to him. He remained defiant in the face of it all, and stayed true to himself, doing good BOXING and TALKING while doing it – thus giving MORE entertainment!

*********
Even a 5 year old can build a website today, using FREE tools. What’s NOT so easy is making the website generate sales leads/prospects who eventually buy: THAT, is when a website IS working/succeeding! Today, over a decade after I started up, I travel as a Location Independent Multipreneur, across West Africa, and have CEO clients within and outside Africa.
My exposure and experiences over the years have helped me discover the following important FACT:
MOST African CEOs do not know they should be in the driving seat of their Website Marketing for Business Development.
For your website to WORK , YOU MUST be ABLE to create and propagate your website content for marketing purposes (or have a team member/in-house staff who can do it for you).
If you want to achieve sustainable, low cost, intelligent web marketing success for your business, you should NEVER be dependent on your developer to do your content updates. Except of course s/he is a member of YOUR team, NOT an external contractor taking a chunk of your funds!
If this is NOT the case, if you are not able to update your website content for marketing purposes, anytime and anywhere you want, then your website is VERY unlikely to be succeeding!
In reviewing websites owned by large companies across Africa, I have noticed that the same problem afflicts their CEOs too, as it does the SMEs.
It is for this reason that I have ALWAYS advocated that today’s business owners in Africa, need to adopt websites built with zero-cost…
Several years ago, Ben Oshionya, a Farm CEO based on the outskirts of Portharcourt-Nigeria, who had purchased my Feed Formulation Handbook and Software got in touch again via phone a week later.
Past visits to various farms had already led me to discover a recent trend in which many local pig and fish farmers (in particular) out here, use this low cost by product to boost growth of their animals by incorporating it in the rations they serve them.
Poultry, fish and pig farmers in particular were using it to boost the energy content of their feed, and in some cases for “fattening” purposes.
I also knew from visits to feed mills, that it was readily available for purchase along with other “traditional” feed ingredients.
——Start of message
“Calculating with information printed on the wrapper of a 70g pack, you find that Indomie noodles has about 71% carbohydrate content(7% being sugar), 9% protein, and 17% fat.
When used in compounded feed, it boosts growth – especially for fingerlings, I am told. Sells for about N50 per kilogram in feed mills.
You can use it to replace some of the maize and other carbohydrate sources in your ration. Watch the fat. tayo.”
——End of message
NB: The above message was sent in 2008. It goes without saying that the prices stated will have changed as of now – 28th May 2015 (7 years on).
In sending him the information, I knew he would follow the Pearson Square Computation method described in my handbook that he’d purchased.
Since Ben already owned a copy of my feed formulation handbook, it was logical to expect that the above would not be difficult for him to do successfully.
Basically, he would incorporate the appropriate quantity of noodles waste into the rations to be fed to the animals (after posting the relevant nutrient composition into the ingredients table provided in the software).
That way he would be able to MEASURE what he used and compare with the performance of the animals, as a guide to deciding on further/future use.
I told him to let me know if he encountered any problems. I did not hear from him, so it’s likely he got on well.
Since then I’ve had similar experiences with other buyers of the handbook and software.
Are you considering trying out alternative feed ingredients for your animal feeds so as to save costs and get better performance from your animals?
An intelligent and cost effective/safe way to proceed would be to use a software, like my Excel-VB driven Ration Formulator, on sale since 2004.
But you need a sound knowledge of the practical feed formulation and compounding, to succeed – whether you use a software or do it manually.
It provides step-by-step explanations about how to compound your own cost-effective rations for your farm animals.

Are you CEO of a Farm business, or any other small, medium, large or multinational manufacturing company? Then you must know that the MOST IMPORTANT goal of your BUSINESS is to make money: That happens via increasing net profit while simultaneously increasing Return On Investment (ROI) and Cash Flow?
The above mentioned are 3 crucial measurements to evaluate your progress – at the TOP decision making level of your company!
So your business’ goal stated in the above paragraph could be translated – for use on the shop floor/in the market – as: to make money by increasing THROUGHPUT (i.e. the rate at which products are manufactured AND sold) while simultaneously reducing INVENTORY and OPERATING EXPENSE.
Are you consistently able to get YOUR in-demand quality product manufactured and into the market on time at the cost that can beat the competition? A BOPMS™ (i.e. Best Operating Process Management System™) can help you become able to say YES anytime you consider that question.
The process involved in establishing/entrenching BOPMS™ in your process will help you derive those measures you need and test them for use successfully in productively managing your plant.
Successfully entrenching a BOPMS™ in your company will also make you MUCH better prepared to qualify for best practice accreditation should you wish to go for it (Contact me and I will explain why/how).
My approach to Best Practice systems development is designed to eliminate non-essential elements of the traditional methods in order to help the willing client SAVE money and time in adopting it for his/her use.
From observing businesses operating in our local environment over the years, I have become convinced that a quicker/shorter but VERY customised version of the Best Practice system implementation will WORK if properly executed.
My BOPMS™ components checklist is designed to help the client make cost-effective choices that will ensure s/he gets exactly what works best for his/her process.
Contact me, if you want to learn more about how I can help your company achieve the ultimate goal described above.
In case you nurse fear that this could be a waste of time, I will add two things:
1). My fees are affordable but NOT cheap. That is why I accept enquiries ONLY from the business owner – who takes the final decisions.
2). In the past, I implemented a BOPMS™ – which included a 2-day Generic training for factory operatives – for a Lagos based manufacturing company, and have worked closely with the Managing Director and the factory staff over a two week period.
The results already achieved attest to my claims. Contact me, and I will elaborate.
[Read this text transcript & watch the full video below] MS Excel is taught as part of basic computer appreciation in many schools today (even primary level). And most persons in paid/self-employment use it for various aspects of their work.
Based on the above, adding Excel VBA programming education to what is being taught is only a logical progression.
My achievements prove ExcelVB training confers ready-to-use income earning application development skills useful in ANY socioeconomic environment.
Excel-VB programming works so well because MS Excel, the development platform, is familiar to most computer users across the world.
The best part is that just like any other programming language using in coding, Excel-VB proficiency can be developed by anyone with interest – who can read and write/type!
Now, there’s ONE unique advantage of developing apps with VBA compared to other programming languages
You can even start with the Macro Recorder – using it to record the steps you follow in carrying out your spreadsheet tasks, and then studying the code it generates to Learn How to Write VBA Code!
