The New Ghana Entrepreneur

Ghana's reinvention program calls for an urgent re-orientation of our mindsets with respect to the concept of nation building. One such thinking that has dominated our national life for decades is the notion that politicians alone are responsible for solving all our problems and building the nation. Let us bring to focus, the criteria for a 21st century entrepreneur.

An entrepreneur is a nation builder. An entrepreneur is a financier of community and national development through intensified, expanded economic activity to rake in huge returns and honest payment of taxes.

An entrepreneur is a guarantor of community and national security through the creation of jobs at all levels of society, ultimately reducing unemployment and crime. an entrepreneur is a nation preserver through growing smaller businesses, deliberate creation of sustainable jobs for the various categories of youth, deliberate creation of space for the youth to gather practical hands-on experience, sub-contracting business openings to well-organized, determined youth who put together, responsible business teams, adopting youth groups for mentoring, and building bridges with academia to develop market-tailored products of our educational institutions.

An entrepreneur is a social developer through philanthropic endeavors. An entrepreneur has a moral obligation that transcends the sole focus on profit for him or herself, the immediate family, self-centeredness, and compromised values, to the broader community and national interest. An entrepreneur is the now and future of our nation, the real deal behind the wheel.

Wake up Ghanaian corporate entrepreneurs. This is the game of the new Ghana revolution. Yes we can!!!
