Richard (Mr. Chicken City/Poultry School) and Bill Park (Ag professor at UT) picked us up at 9:30 am and we headed outside the city to visit two successful chicken farms. These farms are both run by Cornerstone Business School graduates. It was interesting and educational to see the differences in the layouts and the way the businesses were run. Richard was very interested in the "drinkers" at the second farm. The design is what he wants to utilize at Chicken City. In both cases the husband has a day job out of town and the wife has the main responsibility for the chicken business (actually, egg business in both cases).
We then went back to Focus for a brief tour and a couple of home visits since Bill had not been there before.
Probably the most enlightening experience of the day was catching the last hour of the monthly business forum at the Cornerstone office building in Kampala. Once a month several Cornerstone graduates come together to share their business experiences and expertise and hear and interact with outside speakers. Today, a couple of businessmen from California were sharing a new concept to me.... instead of ROI (Return on Investment), they suggested ROL (Return on Life). Good stuff!
