The realities of farming, and a visual of how supply chains were affected by COVID-19, and the farmer gets hit hard. But amazing how they get up and continue.
@TerraMeijar Personally, I chose to focus on family and friends first, even if it meant "progressing less" (everything is relative) with my career.
Money is interesting, but it's shallow. The more you get, the more you need ;-)
@TerraMeijar An opposite direction is to think about living a frugal life and lower your expectations. More money doesn't necessarily mean a happier life. But it's an entirely different debate ;-)
@TerraMeijar@sudo_overflow You can also work as a freelancer to accelerate your growth. Work for small startups and you'll gain a lot of knowledge much faster; that way you'll reach your financial objectives faster. Staying at the same place for a long time works, but is slower.
@TerraMeijar@sudo_overflow There are various ways. The first is to become more valuable by investing a lot in yourself, your skillset, and put enough effort into your online profiles & CV.
Second is to learn to negotiate.

Thank you for highlighting this! So many young people fail at entrepreneurship and feel that it is some how their fault because they have been told to ‘go and be an entrepreneur and create your own job’ Its really not that simple and not for everyone- #YouthNeedJobs
You make a valid point in that developers are not immune to the impact of the pandemic on small business - It would be interesting to understand if any of the funding received included technological developments, that said it’s definitely necessary to have the tech & pay for it.
@Cannonbolt6@StimulusAfrica@MoHCCZim has been getting millions of USD in funding and other resources it really wouldn’t be fair to expect any of us to sit and develop something for free given the way covid has also affected the world and local economy you have to be very considerate about your hours.
In terms of numbers, #Africa has: A total of 3.4m confirmed #Covid-19 cases and has recorded nearly 87,000 coronavirus-related deaths. @PhillipXolisa reports.
