<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In
 Ruai, a small town 20KM from Nairobi CBD, lies a half-an-acre farm 
called Sanla that is attracting so many Visitors who are eager to learn a
 secret or two from there. Farming is rapidly becoming one of the 
trending businesses to watch if you want to make good money.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mrs.
 Nancy Karanja who is a former accountant has managed to utilize her 
0.5acre land to build her a good income. The owner of Sanla farm admits 
that it is not easy and it has been a struggle but she has reached where
 she even caught the attention of the United Nations. She even</span></span><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><span style="font-size: medium;"> won an award for the best farm among the small scale farmers.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There
 is nothing so spectacular about a farm being in the outskirts of  the 
city, but Sanla Farm is impressive. It is an agricultural showcase  of 
the fortunes a small piece of land can yield. It has been recognized  
for its exemplary use of small land and modern farming techniques and  
for being in the forefront in ensuring food security.</span></span><br /><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
 farm houses 20 dairy cows which produce more than 500 litres  of milk 
daily, three 50 x 100 feet greenhouses where tomatoes, cabbages  and 
green pepper sparkle, a fish pond, a homestead, bore-hole and a  biogas 
unit. Nancy Karanja, the proprietor, says the farm rakes in an estimated
 Sh750,000 per month. “I have been rated farmer of the year for the last
  three years by Njiri District Agricultural Office for organising my  
land efficiently to accommodate so many activities,” she says.</span></span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She
 started farming in 2008 when her husband bought the land. He intended 
it to be just a homestead but she had another plan. She started out with
 one Frisian Dairy cow which gave her about 10 litres of milk but now 
she has twenty of the same.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> With good organization, you can be anything and get anywhere you want to.  </span></span>

There is a lot in our kitchens or at least we put in our
kitchen that can make or break our skin, muscles and eventually our health.
Having that beautiful skin that every one envy’s and admires doesn’t mean
breaking the bank it means trying to do with the little you have to make great
impact. My go to tip for beauty in the kitchen is:</div>

Wisdom dictates forecast. 
Yes, the wise have a better ability to foresee future changes in their
business environment and position themselves accordingly. This is a fundamental
attribute to anyone who wants to be successful in business particularly in
investing. It is in this line that any other investor is busy looking for some
information regarding the future state of the market they are in. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blind
investing, guided by faith generated from heresy has misled so many youths in
Africa, encouraging them to put their little money in seemingly profitable  ventures at the moment that at the time of
harvest ruin their expectations. How does this ruin come by and is it
avoidable?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is by understanding how this profitable ventures at the
moment turn to loss makers in near future that you will be able to position
yourself and make sound investment decisions. Majority of people make decisions
based on now. They forget the future of tomorrow and this is what makes the
difference in future profitability of many ventures. If it is public such and
such an investment is making extra ordinary profits, what follows is that every
other investor and want-to-be investors want to invest in it. This tendency has
the effect of raising the price of raw materials then, so the cost of investing
in that venture goes high. If it was some crop, or animal that takes time to
rare, it will take the same period of time and therefore during maturity, the
many investors who invested it will bring it to the market. At the end of the
day, the surplus will bring down prices sharply in the market. Low prices-high
cost of investing=loss definitely. At this point the investors will be crying
to the government for some help.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is the trick, the next time you hear doing something is
profitable, hold your horses, analyze the spread of this information. Check for
possibilities that the market is shielded by some regulation, or other natural
factor so that anyone else cannot come running to invest in it. If you find
investing in it is rather very free, forget it, or, be wise enough to invest in
supplying the raw materials. In my next article, I will give you some
investments that are mostly affected by this cyclical tendency, and reveal the
reasoning behind POSITIONAL INVESTING.</div>

Will Mpesa Agents Survive This Storm?

Brian 0 Business Friday, October 24, 2014

<span style="font-size: large;">After trying all necessary means to protect its consumers and agents (<i>from I honestly don't know what</i>) the telecom giant in Kenya lost its case and a new player is about to take the money transfer business by storm.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;">Equity bank's entry into the mobile money transfer market is now causing agents in the other providers sleepless nights. Equity through the thin SIM technology will enable the users to remain on their preferred varrier but enjoy more affordable money transfer services.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now tell me, <b>who doesn't like it cheaper even by a shilling?</b> Equity bank became the biggest bank in east Africa in clients with most of them middle and low income earners through offering affordable banking services. They have promised a fraction in charges compared to what other players are charging and I have seen consumers warning Mpesa agents that as soon as they get their new thin SIM they are gone.</span><br>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Talking about doing business is sweet for many of us. We had
a dream, and some of us still have the dream to be our own bosses some day. We
imagine a beautiful scenario by putting ourselves in our bosses’ shoes and
figure out how life would be fun. Sometimes it can even be tempting to imagine
an unrealistic boss, one who sleeps very early and wakes up late, comes to work
late to find all the chores already done by their juniors. This misleading imagination
has made many people quit their well paying jobs with hope that the business
world will easily accept them. A few have made it, but so many have regretted
why they left their work in the first place. 
So, what makes the difference between those who make it and those whom
the business environment filters out? After doing some research on this
question, I ended up studying those who have never been employed by anyone but
have built their businesses from scratch. Fascinated by their stories, I gave
them the name ‘Business addicts’.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is where many of us who fail often miss the point. We
are excited about a business we have seen in its maturity forgetting the
realities and challenges it had to go through growing up. Business is like a
tree that business addicts have a hobby in planting. They are so passionate
about it that they are not threatened or discouraged by the risk of it dying
before it gives the first fruit. As a matter of fact, they probably have
planted so many which have withered and dried before the one we see today
survived. They have the skill of tending to it and the professional know-how of
when to water, prune, and fertilize the tree. Their passion builds courage to
face the challenges in the business environment. But one ought to be careful
not to mistake their courage with blind bravery, rather, wisdom from acquired
information about their market and industry helps them prepare in advance on
how to face on coming winds, gaging whether the tree will withstand the winds
by bending or it will need support.  This
ability to predict market is so critical in buying a mature business or
building a new one. An entrepreneur who sells a productive mature tree may seem
foolish, but if his/her fears about the future of the business turn true, and
for example in that future a wild disease of foreign competition attacks the
tree killing it, the buyer will be left cursing their own wisdom.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Success of business addicts builds their confidence and
ability to persevere. They know despite the current setbacks, guided by wisdom
soon they will make a kill. So the next time you plan to have a business,
remember to plan for the business first, then to survive emulate the typical
business addict.</div>

Unknown 0 Inspiration Thursday, October 23, 2014

<br>Just like any other journey mine had to start but the start wasn’t a rosy
one I mean who fancies pawpaw instead of fries (I never used to like pawpaw or papaya
I think it was the taste or the smell can’t really tell), my family thought I
was sick they couldn’t understand my transition though they sort of understood
why I had to do it. Just like any other journeys I have had setbacks I fell
sick once or twice making me halt my routine which sort of was disrupting my
goal, in taking a journey you’ve got to have a goal or destination only then
will you realize how far you have come and will keep pushing yourself to the
goal.<br><br>

What I have come to learn is that no matter what journey you are on the
results will surprise you provided that you stick to it and look at where you
are going. For me I was looking for physical wellness not knowing that I also
needed emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness which I got a long my journey.
My journey has taught me a lot about discipline, you can’t take up a journey
without commitment otherwise you will go off the road. I continue to learn more
about myself as I go along this road.<br><br>

Thinking of starting a journey? Don’t be afraid of the start, think of your
destination and let it motivate you.<br><br>

Share with me here about your journey.<br>
