Few months ago, every Monday and Thursday I was in a different market.
Not selling,just listening, watching, asking questions, and interacting with vendors and farmers. I spent a lot of time, money, and even nights in the marketplace, all in the name of learning and making connections.
Finally, that sacrifice is paying off.
I landed a red cabbage deal where I’ll be supplying roughly 2,000 heads per month. That means I have to plant almost every month to keep the supply consistent. The beauty of this crop? It’s sold in kilograms, not just per head ,meaning higher returns.
The first lot I planted almost a month ago is showing strong vigour, and next week I’m planting the second batch. From October, my target is to start harvesting every single month without fail.
That’s the reward of traveling, interacting, and being curious.
Sometimes you won’t see the results immediately, but every coin and effort spent on knowledge is an investment that pays back in multiple folds.
Remember when I used to sleep in the market just observing how things work?
Now it’s time to actualize what I learnt.
