I estimate that over 60% of those who contact me about the Farm Business Support Solutions I offer end up unable to buy from me because:<\/h3>\n
\n

(A). they have a limited budget<\/p>\n

(b). they want a demonstration that goes beyond what I can provide without risk to me<\/p>\n

(c). they prefer to gain access to me physically, in order to learn practically about feed formulation and compounding, as well as best practice farm business management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That's why I believe the time is NOW right to have a PHYSICAL location for the FBSC.<\/h3>\n
So far, I have run it non-formally, as a skeletal ONLINE service as I travel.\u00a0My preference is for the physical presence to be located in Cotonou.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PII 158: How My Farm Business Support Center Can Help Farm Owners Achieve Superior Results at Low to Zero Cost [3 Common Challenges It Will Address]<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Regular readers of this blog most likely know that I have set my sights on having a PHYSICAL location for what I call my Farm Business Support Centre (click here read a 2015 introductory article, complete with a tentative layout plan<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The FBSC's purpose is to continuously investigate, document and publish Best Practice (I call it BOPMS) ways<\/a> of rearing livestock (especially poultry, fish, and rabbits) and growing crops, as well as marketing BOTH crops and livestock, for higher yields and profits, using locally sourced materials and indigenous knowledge\/skills.<\/p>\n

\"tks-fbsc\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I have been supporting Farm Businesses with custom software, extension advisory services and web marketing support for many years now, and enjoy great relationships with many of my clients.<\/h3>\n
\n

Specifically, I provide information and education\/coaching via articles, videos, audios, books etc - some of which have made clients openly send me unsolicited testimonials.<\/p>\n

I believe one of the reasons for my growing success with clients, is that I am gifted with the ability to SEE beyond the core activity the client focuses on, to help him\/her understand the bigger picture of what s\/he needs to do to boost productivity and profits - and also to deal with adversity.<\/p>\n

A good example can be seen in the ideas I offer in the article titled \"Why Farm CEOs Need Multiple Streams of Income<\/a>\".<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here is a statement of FACT:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
I have established myself as a reliable provider (working 100% remotely via the web) of a unique range of custom Excel-Visual Basic driven software that business owners within and outside Africa buy from me.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n

This achievement did NOT come easy. And it certainly did not happen quickly. Indeed I suffered prolonged periods of total marketplace irrelevance and rejection, locally, during which time I was completely reduced to BEGGING friends and relatives for money to meet my most basic expenses and needs - especially to care for my family.It was THAT bad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But I persisted. I had no choice. There was no other way. I had left myself no escape or alternative option, having burned virtually all my bridges, by following the recommendations in Napoleon Hill's \"Think and Grow Rich\".<\/h3>\n
\n

I had to begin by literally creating the market for my custom Excel-VB Software Development Service and Products in my country of residence Nigeria. It took quite some doing, but when you have no alternatives, you learn to THINK CREATIVELY to find ways to achieve your goal.<\/p>\n

I did that, and began creating demo applications for target niche markets I identified - Small and Medium businesses in the Healthcare industry - hospitals, clinic etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One day, a Web marketing client saw one of my demos and though he was NOT a medical professional, and was instead an Environmental Consultant, he saw the potential application to suit his own needs.<\/h3>\n
\n

After some discussions, he paid me the N100k I requested 100% in advance, to have me build an MS Excel-VB driven dynamic menu driven database version of the Environmental Guidelines and Specifications for the Petroleum Industry in Nigeria (EGASPIN).<\/p>\n

This was a digital version of a massive 2 volume bound print manual, used as a reference by professional in his industry.<\/p>\n

From then on I'd tasted blood, and began to think even bigger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What people see today, in form of the range of custom applications I now offer ready for use, is the direct result of what I have learned from over a decade of trying to find the best way to make people take my custom Excel-VB solutions seriously.<\/h3>\n
\n

Some Excel-VB developers from other countries befriend me AFTER seeing videos of some of my advanced applications in my YouTube channel. And I have gotten unsolicited testimonials and referrals from various quarters.<\/p>\n

Several years ago, following references made to my work, by a Nigerian born Professor of Agriculture based in South Africa, I was invited to submit a proposal, and eventually got paid 2,500 (Two thousand five hundred) Euros by a European Union funded NGO, to write an international Agribusiness case study paper about how farm CEOs use my Ration Formulator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I estimate that over 60% of those who contact me about the Farm Business Support Solutions I offer end up unable to buy from me because:<\/h3>\n
\n

(A). they have a limited budget<\/p>\n

(b). they want a demonstration that goes beyond what I can provide without risk to me<\/p>\n

(c). they prefer to gain access to me physically, in order to learn practically about feed formulation and compounding, as well as best practice farm business management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That's why I believe the time is NOW right to have a PHYSICAL location for the FBSC.<\/h3>\n
So far, I have run it non-formally, as a skeletal ONLINE service as I travel.\u00a0My preference is for the physical presence to be located in Cotonou.<\/div>\n
\n

This is mainly because I have NEW ideas based on enquiries from prospects and clients that could be added.\u00a0www.discovercotonou.com<\/a> is one such idea.<\/strong><\/em>It is meant to be a vehicle for attracting farm CEOs and those aspiring, as well as others, to travel down and learn new ideas about agribusiness under a special travel and tour service I would facilitate via my FBSC - where paid accommodation would be made available for travelers e.g. short stays etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This article is meant to give the reader an idea of the bigger picture I see, with regard to the work I do as a Best Practice Farm Business Management Support Service Provider.<\/h3>\n
\n

It is my intention to - over time - attract like-minded others to support me in accessing the needed resources to implement this next growth phase of my plans, especially as it relates to setting up the proposed Farm Business Support Centre physical premises.<\/p>\n
