From midnight today, I clock 45 years old, and I’ve prepared THIS special 24 hour offer to last all through 6th July 2015.

I created this Audio DVD (see autorun DVD menu below) to mark this occasion, by formally commencing implementation of my decision to give back by sharing lessons that have helped me turn my failures to success in spite of myriad adversities.

Today, I delivered my 1 hour talk on Passive Income Generation at Sherryville Arcade. However, it actually lasted from 5p.m till 8p.m – and I SOLD this DVD there!

For those unable to attend, the DVD is also available. It is the latest addition to my passive income generating information products library, and contains powerful information and education you can use to begin generating passive income at low to zero cost even if all you have is a primary school certificate!

When you buy it, you get access to my direct support and guidances to get started EARNING PASSIVE INCOME in 3 possible areas I recommend. If you follow my guidance diligently, you WILL end up able to generate multiple Streams of Passive (or Residual) Income even when you do NO work, and also while you sleep, JUST LIKE I DO!

From now, until midnight of tomorrow 6th July 2015, ANY person who wants a copy of this DVD can order it at N2,500.00 instead N5,000.00. Price reverts to N5,000.00 from 7th July 2015. For payment details, call/text +234-803-302-1263 or Email tayo at tksola dot com

5 Practical Solutions You Need for Your Personal Success Achievement

July 3, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

Most people today seek solutions that can help them achieve dreams that relate directly or indirectly to having financial security i.e. being able to earn useful income on a reliable basis, for the long term.

If you’ve been following my work, you most likely know that I’m a student and practitioner of Passive Income Generation.

But I employ fairly less conventional approaches due to the realities of the African market I’ve had to practise in, compared to the developed economies in which this concept originated.

For instance, I’ve found that building INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSETS (using technology/the Internet), that generate potentially life long passive income streams for me (e.g. my software and book earnings) is a smarter way to use Robert Kiyosaki’s ideas in this part of the world.

All of that I offer to share with persons who – after reviewing my materials – feel convinced enough to signup to learn from me:

Click the links below to see if ANY of the following interest you:

1. Passive Income Generation via Print On Demand publishing

http://www.tayosolagbade.com/pod-letter.html

Few weeks ago, in Cotonou, a client of mine took receipt of his first book (10 copies I ordered for him) which I ghost-wrote using audio interviews and research via UPS courier in a box delivered to his office at Wologuede.

See photos of him holding the book at
http://www.tayosolagbade.com/pod-letter.html

He gave me an autographed copy which I intend to take for a meeting in Ghana with the Pan African Writers Association.

As shown on the above linked page, I’ve been earning royalties from sales of my physical as well as digital books for years.

Now I’m helping CEO clients do same as I travel.

The publication can be any type on any topic.

For those who have the time and training to do it themselves, I simply mention what is possible and supply the URL: Lulu.com

2. Career Opportunities in Spreadsheet Solutions Development (My MS Excel Heaven™ Visual Basic Club & Competition)

Click here to learn more about the virtually untapped career opportunities, open even to Primary School students, in the area of MS Excel Visual Basic solutions development.

3. This week I sent out the latest edition of THE FARM CEO™ digital and print newspaper [ISSUE 04] I distribute to PAID subscribers.

The website is at http://www.thefarmceo.net

View the free preview at:

http://tinyurl.com/tfc04preview

Print copies are offered in form of a 4 issue magazine version that can be purchased by a global audience via a new print on demand service I found.

I believe ANYONE can earn income by using today’s smart technology to publish a newspaper or magazine. And I offer to help interested persons conceive and implement such publishing dreams/visions by coaching them to use the tools I use, or DOING it for them as a support service.

4. Pineapple peels (and other) Fruits Based Drinks Production Facility Start-up in Cotonou

On Wednesday night, I spoke to the MD of the Wine Manufacturing company (where I worked as trainee Sales Coordinator for 6 months in 1994 before joining Guinness).

We agreed I should meet him at the factory on from 9a.m today – Friday 3rd July 2015. He’s helping me prepare the capacity projections for the 40 Hectolitre drinks production facility I plan to launch in Benin.

Back in 2013, I developed a drink using Pineapple Peels as the raw material. And it got me noticed by the Nigerian Embassy officials in Cotonou.

Today, my kids produce and sell that drink, and cakes made using the same raw material (as the opportunity presents itself).

See http://tayosolagbade.com/index.php/order-tayo-s-drinks-cakes

My vision is to operate the Cotonou based entreprise as a home based FAMILY business with my kids, and also run workshops to teach others how to make drinks on their kitchen table with very small capital, like I first did in 2013.

5. Lastly, I have also devoted some quality time to exploring other viable ways to generate passive/residual income offline as well – in fact, I’ve identified specific models that work out here, if one knows how to go about it.

Details are available to persons who signup for my coaching support: The requirement for enrolment is simply to JOIN MY INNER CIRCLE for $500 USD (payable 70% advance and 30% a month later).

That’s it!

The above message is to give you an idea of practical ways I offer to help any interested persons.

If you find any of them to be of potential interest, click here to let me know.

EXCERPT No. 1: Economics of Aquaculture Production

This PDF is my featured publication for this week’s issue of THE FARM CEO™ – because it offers truly useful volume and depth of practical tips and insights on monitoring/analyzing the performance of a fish farming enterprises, which interestingly can be easily adapted for use in virtually any other farm based business!

I can state categorically, based on my personal review of this document that it truly offers valuable insights for aquaculture practitioners to accurately analyze the economics of enterprises, for profitability. The reader, if s/he applies what s/he learns, correctly, will be better equipped to take timely and more accurate decisions regarding his/her business.

From the perspective of a prospective investor or finance service provider, the information provided in this bulletin will prove valuable in preparing feasibility studies/business plans. Also, NGOs engaged in supporting farmers will find its contents useful.

Most importantly however, fish farmers themselves, will be able to use the tabulated details published in this bulletin as a guide for production and financial records they need to record/measure and monitor towards making their enterprises profitable and sustainable.

Excerpt No. 2 : Manual on Catfish Hatchery & Production

I discovered this excellent resource quite by accident in a recent online search. It offers a massive wealth of ready-to-use and very practical information and education on Catfish hatchery management and grow-out production. A wonderful piece of work.

A Proven Solution That Enables Any African Write And Publish An International Quality Physical Book At Zero Cost!

June 10, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

This article is based on a letter dated 31st October 2005 written by Tayo K. Solagbade following a 2 week exploratory business visit to Accra-Ghana, during which time he met with the President of Pan African Writers Association(PAWA).

Tayo emailed the letter to Media Houses in Ghana (e.g. Graphic Ghana), Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa etc challenging them to do a story on how POD Publishing could enable African writers publish and sell international quality print books at ZERO COST.

I am writing to suggest a story about How Print-On-Demand (POD) publishing companies based on the Internet have made it possible for anyone, living anywhere in the world – including Africa, to:

Coming on 13th & 14th April 2015: (1) The NEW Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS Newsletter & (2) The Cost-Saving Farm Business Best Practice Ideas Newsletter

April 7, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

Yesterday (Mon 6th April 2015), I DELIBERATELY did NOT publish what would have been Issue No. 188 of my Speaking IDEAS newsletter (view last week’s issue here) …because I decided to RE-INVENT myself in celebration of 2 years since I relocated to Benin Republic on 1st April 2013.

As a Performance Improvement Specialist, I believe in actively pursuing Continuous Improvement in EVERY area of endeavour I am engaged in.

The result of that exercise is that I now have 2 newsletters, instead of one, with a major modification in the nature of content and offers I will be making to my readers.

Newsletter No. 1: The Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS Newsletter

Next Monday, 13th April 2013 (AFTER Nigeria’s Governorship Elections are over), the original Speaking IDEAS newsletter will return with NAME – and CONTENT – CHANGES.

When I launched the Speaking IDEAS newsletter, in 2011, it was to promote speaker mentoring products and services offered by Burt Dubin, who I represent as Sole Agent across Africa.

Over the years, I have modified my approach and strategy based on what I observed to be the trends in subscriptions and feedback from readers.

In celebrating the 2nd year anniversary of my relocation to Benin Republic (31st March 2015), I did some objective thinking, analysis and review of the results I’ve gotten

Based on the above, I decided that to ATTRACT more of my target audience, I need to modify my content to better help them discover how my newsletter, and Burt’s products/services can help them.

It is for this reason that I’m adding the Web Marketing aspect to the content of my Speaking IDEAS newsletter.

But that’s not ALL.

All subscribers to this NEW version of my newsletter will be able to take advantage of a special support service I will begin offering to ALL who choose to signup for Burt’s speaker mentoring products/services through me.

This offer basically would involve my functioning as a silent, but powerful addition to the person’s Web Marketing arsenal. Details will be available to subscribers who request them.

HINT: To achieve sustainable long terms success, an expert-who-speaks needs to develop and implement a cost-effective and efficient marketing strategy that boosts his/her chances of winning speaking invitations.

When YOU choose to purchase a Burt Dubin Speaker Mentoring Product or Service, I WILL put at YOUR disposal a specially prepared Web Marketing System and Action Plan, to enable you get up and running with using EVERYTHING you learn from Burt, to achieve the Speaking Success you desire.

Watch out for full details in NEW Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS Newsletter – coming on Monday 13th April 2015!

Newsletter No. 2: Cost-Saving Farm Business Best Practice Ideas Newsletter

A day after the New Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS Newsletter goes LIVE, I will send out broadcasts of the MAIDEN issue of my Cost-Saving Farm Business Best Practice Ideas Newsletter

However, unlike the Speaking IDEAS Newsletter, which is open to subscription by any interested persons, this Cost-Saving Farm Business Best Practice IDEAS Newsletter, will ONLY be sent out to member of my Inner Circle. In other words, even though a preview will be published on my blog, opening the full issue will require having YOUR OWN Inner Circle Members Only Area Login Name and Password.

Just like I’ve done with the Speaking IDEAS newsletter, the Farm IDEAS Newsletter has been conceived based on what I’ve done with my Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas website.

I’ve carefully tested various ideas using my content marketing for years, and during my 2nd year anniversary review of the results I’ve been getting, it occurred to me that I need to take what I offer to the next level, to reward those who have chosen to take the leap of faith to join my Inner Circle.

Full details will go out with the maiden issue that I will publish on Tuesday 14th April 2015.

Final Words

The above means that I have now separated my newsletter content for Farm CEOs from that for Experts-Who-Speak (who may not necessarily be farm CEOs).

However, if you are a Farm CEO, and you really want to make the most of yourself, to maximize your income earning potential, I URGE you to subscribe to the Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS Newsletter.

See you next week!

Special Anthem for a “New Nigeria” – Watch Video, Download MP3!

March 22, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

These words are from a GREAT video I watched (link below) aptly titled “New Nigeria”. Kudos to the authors!

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=457071861111571&pnref=story

“Arise o compatriots.

The time has come for us determine the destiny of our nation. To rewrite our history.

This is our time, this is our moment.

This is our opportunity to transit our nation from a country of potential, to fully realise the greatness in our nation.

To prove the world right that indeed Nigeria is a great nation. Not only for the richness of our land, but the ingenuity of our people.

The determination of a generation to change, from ordinary to extraordinary, usual to unusual, inferior to superior.

The time has come for us to think differently, and smartly, in the way we plan, develop and build our nation.

This is the time of the courageous generation, truly ready for the real change, change in general, general change, change in the way we run our country, change in the way we manage our resources, change in the way operate our institutions, change in the way we treat our laws and administer justice, change in the way we build, change in the way we see and treat ourselves, and how we position our country in the world.

We think not of today, not even tomorrow, but far into the future.

The change we all desire is here. People’s change, general change, a clean slate for a bright future.

Be ready for people’s choice, people’s change, general change.

Vote people’s General. Vote Muhammadu Buhari for president.”

The above words are from an EXCELLENT video (link below) I watched aptly titled “New Nigeria”. Kudos to the authors!

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=457071861111571&pnref=story

I got my kids to watch and write out verbatim, the words from the video and then to EACH memorize it, and recite before the family…just the same way they do the National Anthem and Pledge respectively. I believe ALL OUR KIDS need to imbibe the essence of the powerful vision painted with the words in this video.

This is why I created an MP3 version which I copied to a memory card for the player used by my kids, and we play it back many times daily as a reminder of where we want Nigeria to go. It is my considered opinion that every responsible parent should do this with his/her kids – it’s a powerful way to get them involved in the movement for change… regardless of whether they are of voting age.

My schedule shuttling more often between Nigeria and Benin Republic makes it so hard for me to make out time to do my extracurricular typing like I used to. So, I asked my 15 year old so to type out the words he transcribed from the video – which you NOW read.

By the time you see this, I will have published these words on my blog (see http://tinyurl.com/sdnvote4change), with a download link to the MP3 version that I created, which people can playback on their mobile phones etc (just 2 MB approx) – click the link below to download the MP3.

[Recommended Article] Poultry: Good Start for Better Future Performance – by DR. ADEBAYO KOLADE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (OPERATIONS) ZYGOSIS NIGERIA LTD

January 24, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

This article titled ‘Poultry: Good Start for Better Future Performance‘ (written by DR. ADEBAYO KOLADE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (OPERATIONS) ZYGOSIS NIGERIA LTD on www.farmingadvice.org) is the maiden article entry in my blog’s new “Recommended Website & Articles” category.

I found it rich with useful guiding information for rearing chicks in the critical brooding stage.

The author’s company “sponsored” what is apparently a “Technical Windows” discussion category on the magazine blog.

===Brief Article Preview===

Well begun they say is half done and hence the need to ensure a good start for chicks (broilers or pullets) in order to be able to realize their genetic potentials and of course optimum profit for farmers.

The commercial poultry farmer is interested in optimum performance of his birds, which would in turn lead to maximum profits. The best time to express this concern in the care of the birds is during the brooding period. Many farmers do not pay attention to the details until the birds are matured – by which time dramatic interventions have become rather late. With birds (as with other things in life), well begun is actually half done.

The first seven days of the life of the chick are the most important. During the first seven days….

NB: THIS IS AN UPDATE ON A NEW ARTICLE I FOUND, WHICH – FROM MY EVALUATION, – OFFERS USEFUL INFORMATION MY TARGET AUDIENCE WILL APPRECIATE

I have a vision to make myself useful in so many valuable ways to Farm CEOs and other business owners, that they simply find themselves unable to stop thinking/talking about me :-))

To achieve that ambitious goal however, I realize that sometimes I will NOT have ALL the answers to their needs.

This is why I have committed to carefully searching for resources by other experts that I find to be competent, who I can refer my audience to.

If you know of any that would be worth featuring here, send me details via this form.
