Delivering his keynote address, the Guest Speaker for the summit and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of B.C Bencyn LTD, Benjamin Anyana, advised participants to cultivate the habit of saving and investing in their future.
“So don’t look far away; the resources you need for investment are within you. You only need to open your mind”,
“It is not easy; there are a lot of frustrations, but the discipline to go by what it takes to achieve your goals is what is important,” he advised.
For his part, the Executive Director for Rise-Ghana, Awal Ahmed, admonished participants to be broad-minded and continually update themselves on issues of relevance, while leveraging on good network and collaboration for entrepreneurial success.
“As young people you must know something about everything. Every topic that is trending, know something about it. But choose one topic and know everything about it inside out, so that they will say as for this area, nobody can beat you”,
“And you can do that by dedicating just one hour a day if you can dedicate 1 hour of your time for a subject for a day for three years, there is nothing in that area that you will not know. “he suggested.
