Before You Pick The Hoes Part 2
This is a continuation to a previous post where I answered some of the most common farming questions people ask. I will answer a few I got from the comments on that post.

A series on creating extra income streams cannot be complete without a post about my favourite side hustle; farming. I don’t really need to make a case for farming on here, I believe it’s quite obvious. Food doesn’t go out of fashion, everyone eats from the rich to the poor, and as a country, we are a net importer of food.

One of my readers on the last post asked for tried and tested alternative income sources. Well, I believe we’re all gifted differently and for that reason need to find those areas and capitalise on them for success, but it’s good to give a few ideas on what has worked for others, maybe it could work for you. BeMogul is my guest writer today, educating…

Last post we talked about credit cards, and I think it’s fitting that this post is about increasing our income. There’s a story my boss likes to tell, I hope he hasn’t copyrighted it. He tells it best but I will attempt to do the same on here. One day maybe I’ll ask him to do a guest post on here.

A few months ago, I wrote about some wisdom my grandpa dispensed when I first started working. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t quite follow all the guidelines, and now 5 years later I will be seriously engaging with a SACCO. Very few people under 30 are members of a SACCO especially in this age where the work place is getting less and less informal….

Looking through the blogosphere and Twitter world, one thing that stands out is the fact that most bloggers and twitterers are at that age where they’re searching for their life purpose, which I believe is a lifelong process. Once you have an idea of who you want to be ‘when you grow up’, then the greatest question becomes, how do you move from where you…
