Law Of The Farm and Investment Principles

You are simply a product of your input in any sphere of life you find yourself operating in -Femi Koyi

 Naturally, a farm connotes a portion for cultivation and in this context, the farm talks about our individual financial conditions generated from our investment practices.

How well you are doing on your farm clearly shows on your status as the Farmer.

A farm well cultivated will be orderly, neatly groomed with the expectation of fruits or harvest. The results from a well cultivated farm can be likened to the fruit of the spirit which includes happiness, freedom, merry heart, confidence and lots more. These are packages from a farm that does well. All the features highlighted earlier will be evident in the life of the Farmer/ CEO, of plans that pan out with confidence-boosting results. A farm poorly cultivated or nurtured will be a complete opposite, blossoming with Giant weeds with no expectation for fruits or results.

 Where do you think frustrations come from? They all visit slack hands that watch life happen to them. The following weeds are evidently available in their lives; weed of lack, frustration, unhappiness, jealousy, hatred,sickness,stagnancy etc. High blood pressure is what the doctor sees but most times they live with its more deadly cousin; ''High Debt Pressure''

As it is on the farm, so will it be on the normal life.

Let us closely look at the farm and the principles of investments that works here in relation to our day to day lives.

• Investigate- Every investment must start with the word investigate. If you know too little, you will lose too easily.If you find the investigation part too cumbersome, then you are nothing but a ''Gambler''. Questions like what type of soil will my seed thrive in, in what weather, what temperature and all the million Hows that is attached to your investment must be clearly answered for leading and direction. Clarity on this is the beginning of your assurance to getting good results.
• Quality of your Seed or Investment-  The history attached to your seed need no deliverance at the point of getting your output. If your investment is healthy, you can expect nothing but  healthy harvest or products and if the input is otherwise the output will still mimic its input. If we check this clearly, law of cause and effect has again played out. You get  multiple of your input. Wrong input = No or low Output
• Weeding / Insurance- Hedging your investment against unforeseen circumstance is the quality of a good and thoughtful Farmer or CEO. Regularly weeding the unwanted, initiating a planned prevention by applying necessary pest controls. In the business environment the unwanted could be employees that are constantly looking for means of looting your treasury which can be checked using a sound auditor, poor book keeping can be checked by assigning the job to qualified hands and checking the books without sentiments.                                         ''Thinking forward in all these directions help to avoid sinking the business ship untimely or  permanently''. All business pest you can think of can sink your progress boat, affecting the quality of your produce or expectations. Beware and weed immediately you discover!
• Mentors or God- Father Farmers- Here the question is who do you listen to and what are the results they have displayed in the areas you are expecting? It is very simple to follow a proven method than to re-invent one. If your mentors have done it then it becomes easy to replicate what you have seen by leveraging on their information strength. You can not have a dream to cultivating a 10 hectare farm size and still make a 3 plot farmer your mentor. Wake up and run, you will be getting a 1960- compliant advice like using a hoe, which means leveraging the archaic and living in the past.
•  Discipline and Time Factor- Every good thing of value obeys the principle of quality timing. It is important to note that investment that matures with time always stand the test of time. Easy in, easy out.   

Your financial worth is still an expression of how well you are doing on your farm and life is simply still about productivity and exchange. If I may ask you now, what are you producing on your own farm? Your value is what attracts the world to you.

• Value = Demand for your products(skills)x Difficulty in Replacing You (Uniqueness)

In conclusion, the size of your dreams and your choice of mentor, the quality of your input or seed, the timing you input to grooming your investment, the hedge or security you map out to securing your funds and the discipline of continuous improvement will make you  ground-breaking success that is evident in your finance, quality of life and contribution you make to the world. Arise and make a change. It's in you.
