Did you know that 7 shocking mistakes are commonly made when entering the farming space?

(and these mistakes could cost you dearly)...

Starting a farming business can be full of challenges, but many new farmers make crucial errors that can set them back.

Here’s what to avoid: Image
1. Building a mansion at the farm.

You don’t need a fancy house when starting your farming enterprise. Focus on business, not comfort.

A mansion won’t help you grow your farm—unless you’re aiming to create an unproductive rural home.

Let business lead, not pride for social media.
2. Starting big without experience.

Only the grave starts on top; everything else begins small.

Starting small isn’t a weakness; it’s a strategy. There are far too many advantages in starting small.

It allows for learning and growth, without risking everything.

If someone told you that eggshells—those things you throw away after making breakfast—could be the foundation of a highly profitable $1 billion global business, would you believe it? Image
This may sound surprising, but it's already a reality in many parts of the world.

Entrepreneurs in Europe, America, and Asia are making millions from what most Africans consider waste.
Yet, this is exactly what’s happening.

The powdered eggshell industry is now worth over $1 billion globally, proving to be a highly lucrative market. Meanwhile, African entrepreneurs are missing out on a golden opportunity by continuing to discard what could be turned into a valuable export commodity.

A pregnant woman asks her husband: "What are you expecting, a boy or a girl?

The husband replies: "If it's a boy, I'll teach him math, we'll work out together, teach him how to fish, etc."

The woman, laughing, asks: "What if it's a girl?
The husband smiles and says, "If it's a girl, I won't have to teach her anything."

She will teach me everything: how to dress, how to eat, what to say and what not to say.

Very soon, she'll become like a second mom to me, and even without doing anything special, she'll always consider me as her hero.
She'll understand when I tell her no and she'll still compare her future husband to me.

No matter how old she gets, she will always want me to treat her like my little princess.

She'll fight for me against the world, and if anyone hurts me, she'll never forgive them.”

Yesterday, I met a chicken farmer when I was in the village.

As we sat under a large tree, he shared something that stayed with me—11 powerful lessons he had learned from observing hens on his farm.

"Hens," he said, "are some of the greatest teachers of life."

Let me share these lessons with you...
1. A hen first lays enough eggs before sitting on them.

The farmer explained this as a sign of good planning.

"Before you embark on any journey," he said, "prepare well. Lay the foundation first.

Don’t rush into things without ensuring you’re ready for what’s ahead….
2. When a hen starts sitting on her eggs, she minimizes movement.

This, he told me, symbolizes discipline.

"Once you commit to a goal," he said, "avoid distractions.

Stay focused and give your best until you see it through…..

Many years ago, my dad got a call from my school. I was in Grade 5, and the principal said it was urgent. My dad was busy with work, but he rushed over.

When he arrived, they told him I had “attacked” another student. My dad looked surprised but stayed calm…..
The principal started explaining, “Your son pushed another student.

We don’t allow violence here.” My dad frowned a little and asked, “What exactly happened?” The principal said, “It doesn’t matter. We have a zero-tolerance policy.”

My dad raised an eyebrow. “It matters to me,” he said….
When the principal wouldn’t give more details, my dad turned to me and said, “What happened?” I told him the truth.

A boy was bullying a new kid who didn’t have nice shoes. He was calling him names and shoving him. I told him to stop, but he wouldn’t, so I pushed him away…
