Agriculture has always been dear to me. From a tender age when I planted Tomatoes in a seedbed in our back yard, watching them sprout from the nursery that I had careful prepared. Life of a plant is an interesting thing. From a small tiny seed comes this beautiful plant. Transplanting them later, and watching them grow to maturity. I had forgotten how good that feeling was, I had always had it in me, and I enjoyed bringing new life to this world, plants. We as a nation need to secure food first in order to be able to move forward as a country, until a man’s basic need is fully satisfied, he is bound to poverty, having to work for food. Hence the call to invest in Agriculture, until a man doesn’t have to worry about feeding his family a man’s true potential cannot be seen.

The best solar panels have to be imported. This not only pissed me off, but also showed how we have been made to believe that we are a consumer continent. When is this going to stop! When are we are as a continent going to stand up and realize that we need

Don't get used to changing horses mid-stream, unless the change is causing significant impact, always stay focussed. 3. Make sure your solution is sustaining, (roman profitable) it can get to support yourself and the business even if its minimal 4. always have a plan A, B and Z. plan Z should be the last option when all goes wrong and shouldn't be a stressful option, this can be family, friends, relatives 5. negotiate before it matters, negotiating early is a good thing, than waiting for later when the stakes might be high and you can' negotiate 6. Principle agent people, organization vs people. know when to pitch to a person in charge of a department than when to pitch from a whole organization 7. skill acquire extra skill along the line and don't just stay where you are, even if you
