PII 098: 6 Farming Similarities Between the UK and Africa  – Farmer’s Weekly (Recommended)

Merry Xmas to you all. This week’s issue of my Performance Improvement Ideas (PII) newsletter, features my recommendation of a Farmers Weekly article titled “6 farming similarities between the UK and Africa”
Below is a preview ending with a link to the full piece:

The crops, climate and cultures differ dramatically, but there are parallels in the challenges that farmers in both Africa and the UK face – even if the scale and consequences of success and failure differ dramatically.

Debbie Beaton talks to Farm Africa about six of the similarities.

1. Optimising yields and quality

Maryam Sanda arrested for stabbing husband to death [vanguardngr dot com – NOVEMBER 21, 201710:06 AM]

The Nigerian Police has confirmed the arrest of Maryam Sanda for allegedly stabbing her husband, Haliru Bello to death (on Sunday morning the 19th of November 2017). Bello, 35, son of Haliru Bello, a former chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has been buried according to Islamic rites in Abuja, after prayers at the National Mosque.

According to reports, it was not the first time Maryam  would attack Bello violently. She once  bit part of his ear off  during an argument. Bello was treated at a hospital before returning home. Some report said he was advised to leave the house but he refused, only to be brutally attacked the second time.

[RECOMMENDED] Two Articles That Teach What You Need to Profit from Adversity

[Screenshot image of Nov. 18, 2010 Facebook post]

“Hardship can be good for you. Adversity will force you to grow stronger + help you develop mental stamina. In contrast, a love of ease will make you INEPT and unable to withstand life’s major challenges – especially when you step out of your comfort zone. People who never struggle, “fail” or make mistakes are often those who pretend/hide their errors. Don’t fool yourself!” – Tayo K. Solagbade

sdn-fire

This blog previews/links to Two Articles That Teach What You Need to Profit from Adversity.

TIP: I practice what I preach – so the ideas I share in them are not only based on what I’ve learned from MANY years of studying successful others, but also drawn from my years of painful personal personal experiences succeeding inspite of adversity – and coaching my kids to do same!

***************************************************************
ARCHIVE ARTICLE NO. 1: How Exposure To Poverty & Trial-By-Fire Can Be Deliberately Used To Prepare People To Succeed
***************************************************************

Excerpt 1:

Austin “Jay-Jay” Okocha while being interviewed on a radio program (I recall vividly) said:

“All I know is Jay-Jay Okocha sold Oranges on the streets of Lagos“.

Think about it a minute.

This was a man whose accomplishments in his profession(football) cannot be ignored internationally. Yet, when confronted with evidence of widespread adoration for him based on those achievements he chose to recall what could probably qualify to be called the most humbling moments in his entire lifetime.

====

Excerpt 2:

A Mistake Some Parents Who Rose from Rags to Riches Often Make

Some parents who rose from lowly beginnings where they had to overcome severe hardships to achieve notable successes sometimes vow they will never let their own kids suffer the way they(the parents) did. In a sense this feeling is understandable.

How Exposure To Poverty & Trial-By-Fire Can Be Deliberately Used To Prepare People To Succeed

***************************************************************
ARCHIVE ARTICLE NO. 2: Succeeding In spite of Poverty (3 Tips You Can Use)
***************************************************************

Excerpt 1:

FACT: I never experienced poverty as a child. But as a startup entrepreneur, I’ve suffered such severe lack of money, that my parents and siblings had to help with paying my rent, kids’ school fees etc!

Now, no offense to the reader, but if you’ve never experienced SEVERE lack of money, for prolonged periods(read: years!), you’re not likely to understand that it can damage a person’s self esteem and confidence, if s/he is not careful.

Especially when you’re unable to provide for your dependants.

I’m here today because I used my poverty to CHALLENGE myself to succeed, by diligently creating value adding solutions for clients.

NB: The above is easier said than done. Also, it is noteworthy that living and working in Nigeria made it much worse, for me than it would have been elsewhere

My exciting series of achievements since relocating to Benin Republic a year ago, prove the foregoing statement accurate.

Excerpt 2:

Like I told a young Facebook friend – Charles Adeyemi – my life is an open book. So I have no secrets.

But that is no reason to go around telling a potential client my problems.

Simply put, my finances are not his/her business. What I owe him/her is a solution to any need s/he has!

If you want to win high paying clients on a regular basis, I recommend keeping the following points in mind at all times:

1. A potential client does not want to know your money problems

PII 092: Response Generating Digital Marketing Content Creation Service

Intelligent creation of new and useful digital marketing content is the key to achieving – and sustaining – name and brand recognition at low to zero cost.

Look around the web, and you’ll see that those businesses that are able to capture your attention, for decent periods of time – especially the ones whose websites you find yourself going back to, often have a routine of churning out new content designed to appeal to their desired target audience.

But creating new and interesting content that attracts pre-qualified prospects to your business on a regular basis is NOT easy to do. It takes lots of hard work characterized by thinking, researching, testing, evaluating etc.

Those that get the best results typically employ a combination of methods – including creation of unique series of articles, videos, audios, PDF reports, info-graphics and others.

Every business will however need to experiment quite a bit to find out what works best for its brand. Very rarely will it be possible to arrive at a one size fits all kind of web marketing campaign. Instead, the business owner and/or those responsible for the web marketing implementation may most likely have to do lots of testing to identify what combination of methods gives the best results.

Not only will that process take time, but it will also require considerable investment of effort in thinking up new ideas, implementing and reviewing them.

When you are an expert art your core business, the required investment of time, effort and resources to make the above happen, may however not be something you find yourself able to commit to.

Much as most business owners would love to do it, I’ve seen many of them struggle to combine it with carrying out web marketing content creation and propagation to boost their business marketing reach and impact – the way it needs to be done, for best results to happen.

We all have our strengths, and sometimes it pays to know when it would be best to outsource work that is NOT your core area of expertise.

This is why there is a growing demand for intelligent, value adding, web marketing content creation support services, delivered via a ghostwriting arrangement – like the one I’ve delivered to clients for years.

Since 2004, I have worked with experts in a wide range of industries (consulting, IT, real estate, health and fitness, hotels, bars/restaurants, hospitals, law, agriculture, education etc) to create and propagate web marketing content for their businesses.

My versatility/keen multipreneurial attitude and resourcefulness makes clients connect with me in ways that lead to long term relationships and friendships in which I add way more value to them than what they pay for.

Little wonder that many gladly remain in my network and most buy into other solutions I up sell to them over time.

Today, I have several who started out years ago by purchasing my Excel-VB software, but have since moved on to having me deliver other solutions like ghostwriting books, developing web marketing systems etc.

But for me, by far the most exciting part of the work I do as a Location Independent Multipreneur is the aspect that involves using my creative writing skills to support clients in a variety of ways – especially with regard to the use of PC/Internet Technology.

Below is an example of the ways I use my passion – and unique gift – for creative response generating writing – to help clients cost-effectively achieve improved marketing results

If you want take the work out of your business marketing, while boosting your reach and impact, the following custom solutions will interest you

[Special Offer] Standalone Digital Marketing Content Creation Service

The FARM CEO (Issue 98): Utilization Potentials of Cassava Starch (Manihot esculenta) as Micro-Livestock Feed Binder

ABSTRACT

The investigation was conducted to study the suitability of cassava starch as a binder in grasscutter feed, which is effective. With respect to pellet forming ability, maximum value were obtained at 10, 15, 20 and 25% levels of cassava starch inclusion for diets 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

In terms of pellet forming index and dust level generated, the binding characteristic of the cassava starch in the pelleted feed diets increased as the level of inclusion increases and decreases with increase in the level of grass meal inclusion with values specific to a particular diet sample, while the level of inclusion have significant effect (p<0.05) of the densities (loose and bulk) of the diet samples.

This study shows that 20% level of cassava starch inclusion would ensure a desirable pellet as it gives the maximum least value of pellet forming ability value when compared with the least values of other levels of starch inclusion.

[RECOMMENDED] Why The Degree is Dying (and being replaced by something better) by Isaac Morehouse – Founder & CEO of Praxis

If I did not know better, I could have sworn the author of this piece spent some time reading my mind before writing THIS excellent piece.

Now, don’t get it twisted: The idea being advocated for adoption here is not that classroom based learning is no longer useful.

Instead, as the author notes in the excerpt below, the manner in which classroom learning is conventionally managed (as Sir Ken Robinson famously noted in his TEDx presentation) tends to kill CREATIVITY or “damages learners”)!

Why The Degree is Dying (and being replaced by something better) by Isaac Morehouse – Founder & CEO of Praxis

“There’s a value to classroom learning, but it’s currently endured unhappily by most students (and many professors) as a means to get the paper credential. This unholy marriage of credential and classroom has done damage to both. Learning environments without the (supposedly) magic job ticket are of vastly superior quality. Whether free or paid, online or in person, podcasts, courses, videos, and lectures of all kinds freely chosen by interested learners maintain quality that mandated credentialed classes can’t touch.

This last point smashes a pernicious myth perpetrated by some academics. That skipping college is anti-intellectual. Far from it. Self-driven learning has never fared better, and the conflation of desperation for a job ticket with thirst for knowledge is absurd.”

TRUE STORY: 8 Year Old Girl’s Backyard Snails Lay Eggs [Photos/Video: Snail Farming Micro-Business Startup Experience Sharing Series]

So this morning (Tue 17th Oct 2017), few minutes after opening up her small snail pen housing her 21 snails that have been in her care since August 2017 , my 8 year old daughter rushes to excitedly inform me that she’s seen eggs laid by one of them.

Below: Photo of snails (next to partially buried snail eggs) in my 8 year old daughter’s snail pen this morning – Tuesday 17th October 2017

NB: In the update I published last week, I’d noted that after we introduced the high growth ration we prepared in line with a formula prescribed by the Songhai centre, the snails had become much more active and begun mating openly. On some days I’d noticed a few snails seemingly digging themselves into the soil – and suspected, from what I’d read, that they were trying to lay eggs. This discovery by my daughter confirmed my suspicions!

Later on, while recording a video of her standing next to the pen, I asked her if that was the first time she was seeing eggs laid by the snails.

She replied that it was not, and readily noted that they had laid eggs in the first 2 weeks when she first began collectiing them in plastic containers. This was before I realized how serious she was about it, and helped her setup the makeshift pen.

But at the time, we had no idea what to do with the eggs, so we simply threw them away.

However, this time around, because I’ve been doing so much reading up of PDF reports, manuals/guides and watching videos on snail rearing. I KNOE exactly what to do to create the sutiable hatching conditions for the eggs of our Achatina Marginata (Which I’ve identified – using markings and features unique to it,as indicated in a guide resource I’ve obtained0 is the type of snail we’re keeping.

I intend to follow the instructions provided to help her hatch the eggs and nurse them trhough those delicate initial days of life.

You can follow us in this journey via my website’s password protected Downloads Center.

Like I’ve said in my past posts on this topic, my purpose is experience-sharing. I’ve added other photos of her snails next to their eggs, partially buried in the soil of the pen, with some still feeding on leftover food in the trays provided.

And there are also 2 video recordings I did today.

You can get access to all the informative and educative experience sharing resources I publish as I support my daughter to scale up her snailery, towards growing the snails to approximately 0.5kg market weight by end December 2017, using the high growth ration we now use.
