Why is agricultural income not high? It's time to change the way you make money
Today, agriculture is no longer simply about facing the yellow earth with your back to the sky, and it is moving further and further away from the term “country bumpkin.” To make a living from agriculture, you need to keep up with the times, and even more, you need to know what you will be facing. The “Internet+” Modern Agriculture Work Conference and New Farmers Entrepreneurship and Innovation Conference is about to convene. Here, you will learn “how to make money” and “how to start a business.” Don't miss it!
Actually, everyone is an entrepreneur
“Money is hard to make, and it's getting harder and harder!” I've heard many people say this in communities and entrepreneurship chat groups. Today let's talk about making money.
I know many farmer friends, and after chatting with them, I discovered something interesting——actually, everyone is an entrepreneur.
Why do I say that? Let's make a comparison.
1: When chatting with farmer friends who have succeeded in business, they usually don't show off their present, but recall the hardships of the past, recalling those “money is hard to make” days. Some of them had no capital, some had villages with no internet at all, some had villages where even the roads weren't built…… In short, their memories are unbelievably hard. But they still made it out, carrying their whole village to prosperity.
2: When chatting with farmer friends who plow diligently, the content is surprisingly similar. Some of them have no capital, some have villages with no internet at all, some have villages where even the roads aren't built…… In short, their present is unbelievably hard. But the next day, they still diligently plow on, helplessly complaining.
See, isn't that a coincidence? Actually, they are all entrepreneurs, it's just that a few people, at the very beginning and the hardest times, were still willing to take a few more steps forward, while some stopped.
How can you succeed in entrepreneurship?
And then, many people ask me how to succeed in entrepreneurship. To be honest, I've never started a business myself, so no matter how much I say, it's just armchair theory.
But I know a lot of friends, many “farmer entrepreneurs”! In the process of chatting idly with them, I realized one thing——to succeed, you must keep up with the times!
Put yourself in the right era
Some friends will surely ask, how much does making money from agriculture have to do with the times?
Actually, agriculture, from “slash-and-burn farming” to traditional agriculture, and then to modern agriculture, has gone through three different forms. This is the development and progress of agriculture, and history has also proven that doing agriculture will become more and more convenient, and you will earn more and more.
But, at present many farmers in our country are in the “gray zone” between traditional agriculture and modern agriculture. The tools they use, the ways they plant and raise, the methods they sell, and the thinking with which they do agriculture, etc., cannot be called “modern.”
It's like everyone else is using the latest model phones to send and receive WeChat messages, while you are still holding a brick phone waiting for others to call you. Gradually, fewer and fewer people will contact you, the channels through which you obtain knowledge will become narrower and narrower, and what you face is being disconnected from the times.
What this ultimately leads to is that you earn less and less. Many friends who can't make money are too “content with the status quo” or have old-fashioned thinking, and even more, they find many reasons for their lack of success, yet successfully brainwash themselves.
Brother, you need to know what you will face
Let me ask you a few questions: what counts as keeping up with the times? What era is agriculture in now? How do you use the products of this era most efficiently?
If you say doing internet sales, doing information-based agriculture, making good use of agricultural technology, and so on, then congratulations, at least you know what you are facing.
Information-based and technology-based agriculture, from any angle, makes money faster than traditional agriculture.
Just talking about the internet alone, how many people are there in your county? How many buyers can you have when selling things? No matter how good your goods are or how exquisite the packaging is, it's useless, too few people know about them. With the internet, you will face all of China, the whole world!
When you encounter agricultural technology or policy problems, how many experts does your county have for you to use? On the internet, you search a question, and you'd wish ten experts would eagerly come to answer it for you.
This is what modern agriculture should look like.
For the brothers and sisters who have lain down in the face of reality
To be honest, I understand your difficulties: policies haven't been implemented in place, you have no startup capital in hand, and your village has no internet or roads. You think making money is too hard, you think life is too bitter, you think the world is too unfair. I understand, because these things really exist.
But that other village, with no internet, no roads, and no money, still succeeded in entrepreneurship and became rich right there in the village. Wouldn't you say that's right?
Let me say something from the bottom of my heart: the country is thoughtful and wants everyone to become rich! The policies are all good policies, and subsidies are given where they are most needed. Roads are being built, networks are being set up. Although unfair things exist in quite a few places, I believe it will get better and better.
Take right now, for example: when you want to know how to start a business, want to understand the informatization and technology of agriculture, and want to learn about internet sales, it has arrived——the Internet+ Modern Agriculture Work Conference and New Farmers Entrepreneurship and Innovation Conference.
The opportunity has come, transform yourself!
Don't despise me just yet. Speaking from the bottom of my heart again, writing all this is really not an advertisement. Maybe you will be surprised here: so agriculture can be like this too!
You don't need to be present at the venue in person. Besides the conference agenda above, Nongshi Network will also livestream the most down-to-earth content for you. The agricultural informatization you want to understand, we will show you; the entrepreneurship knowledge you want to ask about, we will find big shots to teach you for free; if you want to communicate with “peers” in real time, we will satisfy you. Stop hesitating!
