2016 Excel-Visual Basic Automation Club Home Study Tutorial Archives DVD [COMING SOON]

It feels just like yesterday, that I hosted the Maiden Edition of my FREE Monthly Workshop for members of my MS Excel Heaven Visual Basic Automation Club on Sat 19th March 2016 in Lagos-Nigeria.

Since then I have diligently churned out weekly Videos, Workbooks and Articles on various aspects of basic Excel-VB programming with a focus on work related experiences of members.

To celebrate the first year anniversary of the launch of this Excel-VB Automation learning event, I’m compiling ALL the content for the various tutorials, into a special branded DVD (screenshots below)

1. Autorun display image for the DVD menu

2. Branded label for the autorun DVD itself

It will be made available to members as they renew their individual club memberships for another year.

This DVD is useful because I know it can be difficult to keep track of stuff that one downloads and studies over time, via the web. This archives DVD enables you access all that useful information on ONE location, for study at your convenience, without needing to incur expenses accessing the web etc.

This article ends with an invitation to users and prospective buyers to send in their suggestions of features/functions they’d like to see in the 2017 PFM

[NB: Farm CEO Clients who purchased the license at the full (NOT promo) fee will get this new version 100% FREE – details below]

Since building this app in 2009, for a 12,000 layer farm and then putting it up for sale online in 2011, I’ve patiently, and painstakingly, documented comments and feedback from inquirers as well as buyers/users.

Over time, I’ve adopted enhancements to be incorporated into the app to make it better meet the needs of my target audience I.e Farm CEOs and other stakeholders.

The New 2017 App Version Will Come With:

1. My trademark modeless custom floating automated data entry forms for time/effort saving posting of updates into various interfaces from farm operations to financial/sales and expenses records

This feature alone will double user productivity, including affecting a reduction in occurrence of user data entry errors to the barest minimum.

2. Automated menu driven charts for daily, weekly and monthly trending of broilers Key Performance Indicators e.g Feeding Rate, Feed Conversion Ration, Average Weight Gain etc

This feature adds to the existing Broiler Farm Operations Report which is generated dynamically for specific periods using drop menus.

Below: Print Preview Screenshot of the Broiler Performance Report in the work-in-progress upgrade version of the PFM

pfm-broiler-summary-modified

Given the time sensitive nature of the broiler business model, the usefulness of this new feature is easy to appreciate. Daily/weekly review of the charted KPIs is made possible at the click of a button, like for layers.

I continue to encourage broiler farm CEOs to let me know what other features/functions to include.

3. Automated menu driven charts for daily, weekly and monthly trending of the PFM’s Income and Expense Summary report based on the respective income and expense heads or categories used.

This feature will put power in the hands of the Farm CEO to quickly and effortlessly track the changes in each area for timely and more accurate decision making.

In addition to the above, I’ve had to factor in the growing reality of the need to protect my intellectual property and the interests of those who choose to invest in purchasing the full fee license.

This is why I will ONLY be offering access to the New 2017 Excel-VB PFM:

1. To existing clients who purchased the license at the full fee. They get upgrades FREE for life as specified for all my apps.

2. To existing clients who purchased the license at a promo fee. They get upgrades at a promo fee offer I will broadcast.

All others who wish to buy this new app will need to join either of the groups above, or buy the New 2017 PFM license at the standard fee to be announced.

Since 2002, he has earned multiple streams of income providing individuals and organizations with personal development training and coaching, custom MS Excel-VB solutions, web marketing systems/web hosting, freelance writing services, and best practice extension support services (for farm business owners).

Tayo is the author of the Self-Development (SD) Bible™ and the popular Livestock Feed Formulation Handbook. He is also the developer of its accompanying Excel-VB driven Ration Formulator™ and the Poultry Farm Manager™ software.

He has delivered talks/papers to audiences in various groups and organizations, including the Centre for Management Development, University of Lagos, Christ Baptist Church, Volunteer Corps, Tantalisers Fast Foods and others.

In May 2012 he was the Guest Speaker at the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development’s Annual Semester Entrepreneurial Lecture at Yaba College of Technology in Lagos.

On 1st April 2013, Tayo (who reads, write and speaks the French language) relocated to Cotonou, Benin Republic to begin slowly traveling across the West African region.

His key purpose is to deliver talks, seminars and workshops on his key areas of focus and interest to interested audiences (Email tayo at tksola dot com for details).

In a previous life, before leaving to become self-employed, Tayo served for seven years (October 1994 to December 2001) as a high performing manager in Guinness Nigeria. He rose from Shift Brewer to Training & Technical Development Manager, and later acted in senior roles as Production Manager and Technical Manager.

In addition to constantly challenging the status quo and influencing positive work changes, he built a reputation for using self-taught spreadsheet programming skills (starting with Lotus 1-2-3, and later moving to Excel Visual Basic) – in his spare time – to develop Automated Spreadsheet Applications to computerize manual report generation processes in the departments he worked. Over four(4) of his applications were adopted for brewery level reporting.

Tayo holds a B.Sc degree in Agricultural Extension Services from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, having graduated top of his class – with Second Class Upper Division honors – in 1992. He is an Associate Member of the UK Institute & Guild of Brewing, a 1997 National Finalist of the Nigerian Institute of Management’s(NIM) Young Managers’ competition, a Certified Psychometric Test Administrator for Psytech UK, innovator of Spontaneous Coaching for Self-Development™ (SCfS-D™), and Founder of the Self-Development Academy (SDAc).

Coming Soon: Hope Agwulonu’s QUICK START GUIDE TO CATFISH FARMING [Hint: Includes Chapters on Processing & Marketing]

Below: Screenshots of Book Cover for Hope Agwulonu’s forthcoming guidebook for aspiring Catfish Farm Business Owners.

Title: QUICK START GUIDE TO CATFISH FARMING

Subtitle: How to Start Your Own Low Cost Catfish Farm Businessquick-start-guide-BIG

 

If all goes according to plan, this book will go LIVE in Hope’s online store, for purchase as an e-book, before end of December 2015 or early January 2016.

Here’s the text of the abstract on the cover page – by the Author:

“Catfish farming is serious business. Not just by virtue of the lucrative returns it yields when done right, but also due to the heavy demands it places on the owner to keep it running that way (i.e. profitably!) for the long term. In my experience at Progidence Farms Ltd, not everyone can make a success of catfish farming. Certain qualities are required which are more important than just having the money or required capital. This book highlights the key attributes you need to succeed in Catfish farming, and also discusses theoretical requirements in conjunction with practical considerations you will need to provide for, if you wish to successfully start and run your own profitable Catfish farming business, without stress, and with peace of mind.” – Hope Agwulonu, CEO, Progidence Farms Limited

Below: Screenshots of some of the book’s inner pages up till the Table of Contents (TOC)

Would you like to get YOUR PHYSICAL book published in YOUR area of expertise – and without needing to write it yourself?

If YES, this might interest you.

So far, 2 of the 3 slots of my Ghost-Writing for Print-On-Demand book publishing promo offer have been taken up. One by a client based in the United Kingdom (who has since engaged me to develop and implement a promo web marketing system) and Hope in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory – Abuja, who I’m working on THIS Catfish guide book with..

One more slot remains, and I still look forward to working with whoever eventually signs up for it.

In it, I explain why I’m keen to encourage – indeed challenge(!) – more CEOs/Experts to use writing for experience sharing, business promotion & income generation.

You can also learn more about how I helped a CEO in Benin Republic’s Cotonou get his book written and published in physical form at ZERO COST, using Print-On-Demand publishing.

Not just that, I went on to use my Paypal account to order 10 copies of the book on his behalf. Click here to visit the page where you’ll see him holding copies of the book. You’ll also see photos of my Self-Development Bible, delivered to me back in November 2005, from also from the US.

Most importantly, to back up my claims about your book writing generating passive income for you, the above page also features screenshots showing royalty payments to me, from sales of my digital as well as physical books.

Anyone can do it. And once your book is written and published using this method, you can keep selling for life – just by promoting it.

Like I said, one more promo slot remains, and I still look forward to working with whoever eventually signs up for it.

COMING SOON: Best Practice Farm Business Support Centre for Farm CEOs – Benin Republic

COMING SOON: Best Practice Farm Business Support Centre for Farm CEOs – Benin Republic. This centre will be based on a piece of land to be purchased in Benin Republic (tentatively in the Seme border town area).

It will…

1. Provide real world relevant findings from pilot scale performance improvement trials in least cost Feed Formulation using locally available, low cost alternative feed ingredients.

NB: A key aspect will be the use, and continual improvement of the popular Excel-VB Ration Formulator app – especially to cater for in-depth amino acid balancing in formulating cost-effective balanced rations.

2. Offer coaching for Farm CEOs on Best Practice Farm Business Operations Management & Marketing in Livestock and Crop Production

3. Operate rabbitry, poultry, and fish production enterprises on a micro to small scale to showcase the potentially useful findings recorded by the centre.

NB: The existing Poultry Farm Manager app will be used and continually improved, while similar apps will be built for rabbit and fish production – which over time will be offered to interested Farm CEOS

4. Run a farm-based restaurant and bar designed to showcase how farms can earn extra income by processing their farm produce into products for sale in farm shops.

5. Publish The Farm CEO™ newspaper to disseminate latest news about findings, innovations and potentially cost-saving ideas from work done at the centre, and those reviewed elsewhere.

6. Offer limited accommodation facilities to members who wish to sleep over for learning events or leisure.

7. Provide on-demand Internet access, as well as transportation, for interested members – including pick up from, or drop off at the airport or the border.

8. Take on custom software or information product development projects from members, if enough of them show interest, and make the finished product available to them at low to zero cost.

9. Enable ALL members purchase the centre’s Farm Business Support Software (e.g. Excel-VB Ration Formulator, Poultry Farm Manager, Rabbitry Business Manager, Fish Farm Manager) and Information Products (e.g. Feed Formulation Handbook, Best Practice Farm Management 4 part E-books series, business plans etc)

10. Deliver on-demand practical coaching for Farm CEOs (including on-site technical support) on the development and implementation of a Best Operating Process Management System (BOPMS) for Farm Business Performance Improvement.

[Updated 1st Oct. 2015, 1.33p.m, from Lagos-Nigeria] Below: Layout Plan for the centre (still work-in-progress)  – Now LIVE – read more here

This Best Practice Farm Biz Support Centre (FBSC)™ - tentative layout plan below - was first conceived in 2000  by Tayo Solagbade, to function as a creative Research/Extension Advisory Services provider.

I will be CROWDFUNDING this project, because it’s designed to be a Not-For-Profit initiative to make the products and services I offer more pocket-friendly and accessible by majority of my target audience.

That’s why YOU are getting notified about it – in case you (or your group/organization/association or club) would like to contribute/invest in it.

As a member of my Farm Business Ideas Club (which comprises persons who have purchased N20k or more worth of products from me) – you fit the target audience profile.

Why?

Because those interested enough in a provider’s products and services to PAY (or want to pay) money to access them, are the ones most likely to favour investing in its evolution or growth.

Here’s an apt quote that underscores the above point:

“The supporters of your crowd funding campaign are your customers. Crowd funding is basically a way to pre-order products before they are produced” – Elite Daily (See http://elitedaily.com/money/why-you-should-crowdfund-your-startup/)

Hundreds of past enquirers and buyers requests tell me this support centre is LONG OVERDUE…

I have received all sorts of requests from people within and outside Africa. since January 2006, when I launched my Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas Website – now at www.boostyourfarmprofits.biz or www.iff.tayosolagbade.com

Most of them were Farm CEOs – while others were students of agriculture, farm support experts(e.g extension professionals), lecturers, feed makers, NGO operators etc.

In several cases they wanted me to give them the product at hefty discounts or even FREE, but I was unable to oblige them much as I wanted to.

For instance, last year (2014), one Farm CEO from Mexico contacted me about building a custom Ration Formulator app for lactating cows in his Dairy Farm. When I eventually sent him the quote for developing the app, he NEVER got back to me, despite the animated phone conversation we’d had before he asked me to send it.

I knew the fee I’d given him was the likely deal breaker, yet it was the best offer I could make him.

With crowd funding of this Best Practice Support Centre for Farm CEOs, I’ll be able to give MORE of such people what they want, and also CREATE quality time to develop new solutions they tell me they want.

The implication is that I’ll be able to HELP a lot more people that need it, than I’m currently able to – including YOU.

If this opportunity interests you, click here to send me a message requesting for details of how to get involved, and specific ways you’d like to benefit (e.g what you want me to do for you).

 

Smart Web Marketing Wins Profitable Farm Business Buyers [Hint: Poultry Farm Business Plan Preparation Service]

2 days ago I got a pleasant surprise when a “Production Metallurgist” with a Namibian firm sent me this message via TayoSolagbade.com:

“My boss gave me your ebook on the 25 articles on self-development as a present. However, I am struggling to contact you in order to get the links in the book to become functional. Can you possibly e-mail me the contact form so that I can send you a copy of the invoice. As it stands, I do not have access to all the articles in the ebook.”

It was the first time ever that I would be getting a message from one of many who had bought my 25 Articles PDF Ebook collection from my www.lulu.com/sdaproducts online store – since 2006!

Click now to visit the online store

Before now, I only got the payment alerts sent by Lulu.com. Not once have I ever been able to identify those who purchased my books.

The Lulu.com system – for obvious security reasons – does not permit that. However, it does allow us sellers to setup auto response messages in our online stores, to be delivered to buyers.

In mine, I invite the buyer to contact me if s/he needs help making use of the book etc.

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

Send me the invoice via this email address.

Or if you prefer, the main website contact form is at www.tayosolagbade.com/contact.htm

It would also help if you:

A. Attach the ebook you got from your boss as a gift

B. Provide further clarifications about your needs. For instance you indicated your “subject of interest” in your form submission (below) to be “poultry farming”. But my 25 articles ebook, which you got, caters to a multidisciplinary theme that does not directly deal with farm business, talk less poultry (?).

Look forward to your response.

25_articles_true_storie…u_succeed_more_often.pdf (attached file)

Hi Tayo,

Attached, please find the ebook and the invoice. I originally became interested when I read your article – Practical Farm Business Performance Calculations and thought that I could find an example of the work you done on excel in this regard. I viewed your video last night but I would appreciate it very much if you could probably forward me the following information:

1) A copy of the Poultry Laying Business Plan with calculations which you once wrote for a customer (I intend to start up with 2500 layers) and could possibly use your plan to guide me.

2) A List of parameters (apart from the 3 parameters you already alluded to in your article) which I can use in my spreadsheet to optimally manage my laying business.

I really enjoyed the ebook and downloads from your website.

Regards,

<name removed for privacy>

When I got his above response, with the attached PDF he had purchased and the invoice sent to his “boss”(who purchased it on his behalf) by the Lulu.com payment system, I knew I was dealing with the right person

Next, I sent him the first of a planned 2 part response as follows:

Subject: Re: Re(Your Enquiry): 25 Articles Ebook…

Thanks for getting back <name removed>

Seen the file, invoice, and your request.

First off, I think the intro in the pdf may have been a bit misleading.

All 25 articles are actually already included full length in the pdf ebook. That’s why its length is over 140 pages.

Simply keep scrolling downwards and you’ll eventually come to the first of the 25 full length write-ups.

The preview section in the ebook was only included to give an idea of the other articles that were available on my website at time.

I’ve since moved them to my daily multidisciplinary blog at http://www.tayosolagbade.com/sdnuggets

When I respond in my next email to your other requests, I’ll attach an updated version of the 25 version of the ebook, with click able links to the other articles in their new locations.

I’ll also add links to much more recent farm business articles I’ve since written, that you may find useful.

With kindest regards,

Tayo

The above situation turned out to be a good opportunity to do something I ought to have done a long time ago i.e. to update URLs and other contact details in the PDF ebook.

Since I lost my 9 year old domain – spontaneousdevelopment.com on 4th May 2014, I have been unable to find extra time to do the needed cleaning up in my other information products.

Ironically, one reason for this is the fact that since I adopted my tayosolagbade.com domain name, and began re purposing my website content on it, the leads generation I’ve been getting has really shot up.

I’ve said that much in subsequent articles – like THIS one (click).

My online sales (orders from buyers in my online store for my books and payments from clients for my Excel-VB software and services (e.g. business plan writing, web marketing etc) have increased.

Add to that the demand for my web marketing services by 2 new clients here in Cotonou, and you may understand why I’ve NOT been able to clean up my bylines in my Ezinearticles.com articles, talk less of updating the same in my e-books.

Thankfully, this buyer reaching out to me with my ebook made me dig in and do an much needed update. Now, I just have to make out time to upload it to replace the old one in my online store.

For now, I’ve sent the updated ebook to the above mentioned lady, as an email attachment.

And I also addressed the 2 requests he made…

Below: This afternoon, 2 days after sending him part 1 of my response, I followed up with the 2nd part of my response – see below

Excerpts from the response I sent to him, which I believe other farm business enthusiasts will find useful – hence my decision to share it here.

Hi <name removed for privacy>

Thanks for your requests.

First of all, find attached a cleaned up version of the 25 Articles PDF Ebook you bought.

I hope it makes for a more friendly reading experience.

When I can find the time, I will upload it to replace the one still in the online store.

Now, to the other requests you made…

====

Your Question 1 – You asked that I forward to you:

“A copy of the Poultry Laying Business Plan with calculations which you once wrote for a customer (I intend to start up with 2500 layers) and could possibly use your plan to guide me.”

===

Attached is a zipped folder named “Riaan-Question1.zip” containing the generic business plan preview documents I will be offering for FREE download on my website in a few days – once I finish setting up the sales/squeeze page:

Take a look through. I have taken out certain sections and left others in – but mostly blank tables and labels.

[Note to reader: If you’d like to view the above mentioned zipped folder’s contents, click here to send me a request.]

Note that the performance indicators featured in the tables are discussed in the articles I’ve linked to in response to your second question below.

You see, it so happens that the business plan I dispatched to the client is what I have already repackaged as a template to be sold to interested Farm CEOs (and those aspiring).

Due to the in-depth nature of this particular client’s project, I came to the decision that I can use a smart MS Excel projections workbook, in conjunction with a market survey questionnaire I developed, to help clients prepare comprehensive business plans.

All they need to do is purchase the template bundle (the full 24 page generic business plan with a one page micro version. Once that happens, I then send the buyer a questionnaire with which to collect data I will need for updating the dynamic projection tables in MS Excel.

The questionnaire will also get responses relevant to the client’s industry and market description etc, which are needed to complete other sections of the plan.

Using that info, I will customize the full plan, and produce a micro version, which will both be dispatched to the client in editable MS Word format. I will also send the MS Excel workbook containing all the projection tables with the data and formulas intact.

The client will be able to make changes as s/he may wish.

On the offer/sales page I will state the above benefits and process.

A. 5PowerfulTools.xls

This contains a sample template that explains how to compute certain Farm Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) discussed in an article I submitted to a 3rd party website in 2012.

Incidentally, that software was built to automate the routine DAILY, WEEKLY and MONTHLY computation of the parameters described in my Practical Farm Business Performance Calculations article that you read.

This Figures1to4.xls workbook is actually linked to, from a more recent article titled “5 Essential Poultry Layer Farm Production Records” – that I got approved as a guest post in 2012 on Africabusinesscommunities.com. Click below to read it.

The article highlights calculation methods for 5 important farm production records I recommend every poultry farmer diligently capture.

Doing so will enable him/her take timely farm planning decisions that will result in the best possible performance.

PS: Due to my domain name change from spontaneousdevelopment.com to tayosolagbade.com – the links in those articles no longer work.

I’ve informed the webmaster for Africabusinesscommunities.com about the need to change the URLs, but have gotten no response.

But I plan to use both articles in special e-book collection I’m working on. So, it’s kind of a blessing in disguise :-))

Final Words: My new template based Poultry Farm business plan preparation service will soon go live!
