WTF is that business going on over his shoulder in the opening 1 minute? Looks to me like a guy using a bottle of roundup, in the vicinity of his garden.....so.....explain what that bottle is, and if you are using chemicals, why laying out poison in that close of a proximity to "the food you eat" ???

I always feel like they give the info they want to put out and not the info that I need. I know you 100k but show me this is how I move my product. This is how found out what was profitable. This is my how I figured out what my customers will buy this for. Things like that. Give me the boring stuff and leaving the exiting stuff for people who will do nothing with the information. I need the the plan the structure to how it works not the inspiration.

Hey, Ali, It would be awesome to be given the how of things. But in business especially in this day and age. Information is valuable. With that information on how to properly succeed, they are only a few ways you can obtain it. Either 1. From Experience ( Work and Hustle and eventually you'll find what works and what doesn't) 2. You pay someone else to teach you 3. You buy a course on how... As you can see the free method is not even free. Nothing is free. Either time or money will have to be given, and we already know time is the most valuable. Most of the experts already give away a lot on how to replicate their success. See how they sold or got to you reverse engineer that and that's how you can do same. Well lol, I do digital marketing works fine to me that way. In this case since its farming and not my field. Take a week travel to where the person is at. Ask them to let you shadow them beforehand (obviously) and learn.

Love your passion man. I agree with you, we need to decentralize growing food. Note: DO NOT GROW GMO FOODS! They have patents and they can own you really quick. You will be a modern slave! Look it up!

This is what I believe. The whole community is not going to do it and that is good because you do not want a bunch of chiefs and no indians. You also need to know your what your community needs are. However, with the high price of everything we need to go back to community and/or more self sustainable " living.

Agnostic Pariah if you think about it he's not lying you don't even have to grow the full product say you grow clones sell them $3 a piece. make 10000 clones which really ain't that hard you're looking at $30,000 if you sell all .you probably not going to sell everything but still selling 7000 of the 10,000 clowns will still be a nice profit small scale if you grow the full crop prices rise I seen people sell single plants for $25 to $100 apiece

Unless this is weed it is not fucking possible.Don't believe this guy about his income. Farms that make 100k spend 95k on expenses. Even Hops, which are a high gross cash crop will only net you about 4-5k an acre.

They make it sound so easy, just wait till the heat burns up your crop or it gets frozen, also the worms love those veggies. Farming is very labor intensive. Also you have to find a market and sell all of your crop for a good price. Once the produce is ripe you have to sell it Quick or it will spoil.

Duterte Plans $1 Billion Airport, Rail in Former U.S. Base (1)
Bloomberg

(Bloomberg) -- The Philippines plans to award at least $1 billion of contracts to build an airport and a railway to transform a former U.S. military base into a commercial hub as part of President Rodrigo Duterte’s push to distribute wealth outside congested Manila.
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority wants these and other major infrastructure projects for the area to be awarded by the second half of 2017 and for most to be completed as early as 2019, its Chief Executive Officer Vince Dizon said in an interview in Makati City. The authority will decide by the first quarter of next year whether to invite bids to build or operate the infrastructure, or do both, he said.
“We want the investment community to know that this government isn’t just about addressing crime and drugs,” Dizon, 43, said Nov. 11. “We’re also here to build, build and build.”
Duterte, who won the presidential election six months ago, is lifting infrastructure spending to a record and allocating resources away from the capital, Manila, where traffic and transport logjams cost the economy at least 2.4 billion pesos ($49 million) a day. His government is attempting to fast track development of the planned Clark Green City, which was carved out of the former Clark Air Base used by U.S. forces during World War II. It received just one bid last year to develop part of the proposed alternative capital city.
At 9,450 hectares (23,000 acres), Clark Green City would dwarf the main financial district of Makati in metropolitan Manila, home to the nation’s stock exchange and banks’ headquarters.
Building infrastructure outside the capital is key to attracting investment and boosting the country’s growth potential to as much as 9 percent, Rosemarie Edillon, deputy director general at the National Economic and Development Authority, said Thursday. Third-quarter economic growth was 7.1 percent, the fastest in Asia.

The state body will invite bids for a new 15 billion-peso airport terminal in Clark, north of Manila, according to Dizon. It will include a new international terminal that will double Clark airport’s current capacity to 8 million passengers under the first phase of a 30-year plan developed by Aeroports de Paris, he said.
It will also invite bidders for some projects identified during Duterte’s state visit to Beijing in October. These include a cargo rail line costing as much as $700 million, running from Clark to the Subic coastal area northwest of Manila, an industrial park and facilities for telecommunications and utilities.
If the investments materialize, Clark Green City would bring a new lease of life to an area that now comprises a main industrial zone with factories for companies including semiconductor-maker Texas Instruments Inc. and plane-engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc and an airport with limited international flights. Under the government’s plan, the existing Clark airport would be converted to a VIP terminal when the new aerodome is up.
Dizon said Bases Conversion will continue to bid out rights to develop more plots of land in Clark, a process started under former President Benigno Aquino.
Duterte’s government may choose to fund infrastructure projects through loans obtained at cheaper rates and then offer contracts to companies to run them, Dizon said. Under Aquino, the preference was to let private companies handle the projects at the onset, and such an arrangement remains an option, the executive said.

How complaining physically rewires your brain to be anxious and depressed
The Hearty Soul
The Hearty Soul

I’m pretty sure we can all pick out that one person who is a consistent negative ninny. The one person who we think sees the glass half empty, but who insists that they are just a hard-edged realist. For me, it is one of my long time childhood friends Sam.
Things are never good enough for Sam and she is always the victim of something. After knowing her for about 15 years now, I’m pretty used to her negativity and I can just let it roll right off my back.
But, this is only after a lot of practice. It really used to take a lot of my energy to be around her because it was so incredibly draining. There are a couple different types of draining energies but all of them stream from one core value: Negativity.
Drain Types:
Now, I am not completely innocent of negativity. I too complain from time to time without even realizing I’m doing it. It’s pretty much a part of our culture nowadays. Dr. Robin Kowalski professor of psychology at Clemson University explains that everyone complains, at some point, at least a little.
There are a few varieties when it comes to complainers. I’m sure you can stick a face to each different category.
Vent-ers: This is a very displeased person who doesn’t want to hear solutions, no matter how helpful they may be.
Sympathy Seekers: You know the type. The ones always fishing for attention with their “I’ve got it worse than you do” attitude or their constant and everything sucks demeanor.
Chronic Complainers: those living in a state of complaint, do something researchers call “ruminating.” This basically means thinking and complaining about a problem again and again. Instead of feeling a release after complaining, this sort of complaining can actually make things worse. It can cause even more worry and anxiety.
Ok, I’m not suggesting you give up all your bad habits and try to be a squeaky clean free-flying positive ninny. No, not even close. Bouts of negativity are normal and encouraged to reset our systems. What you want to be mindful of, is if you are being excessively negative. Why you ask? Because negativity breeds negativity.
Most of us may have been unintentionally reinforcing the nasty habit of complaining, by virtue of… complaining.
Negativity Rewires Your Brain:
shutterstock_299153642Donald Hebb, a neuropsychologist, believed that neurons which fire together, wire together. What he meant by that is that groups of neurons connect in our brain as a result of particular life experiences.
For instance, whenever we think a thought or have a feeling or physical sensation, thousands of neurons are triggered and they all get together to form a neural network. The brain learns to trigger the same neurons with repetitive thinking.
Basically, if you keep your mind focused on criticism, worry, and victimization, your mind will find it more easy to bring up those same thoughts for similar situations. Our thought patterns wire our brains to react positively or negatively to the situations we are presented. We get good at what we practice, so why don’t we try being a little more positive?
Four tricks to avoid negativity:
Be grateful: Even for the smallest of things.
Catch yourself: Catch yourself in a complaint. Stop complaining. Congratulate yourself for being aware!
Make a new groove: We can create a brand new groove for pleasant feelings. The more often we allow our minds to remember the good stuff, the easier that kind of thinking becomes.
Practice wise effort: Wise effort is letting go of that which is not helpful and cultivating that which is skillful.
