Speaking at the launch of the Ashanti Regional Chapter of Ghana Young Entrepreneurs (GYE), Dr. Daniel Mckorley, Chairman of McDan Group and advisory board member of GYE threw a challenge to the young entrepreneurs.
He said “any person, who sees the rising of the morning sun through his window, stretch and go back to bed, is an idiot. In other words if you are a young entrepreneur and you sleep for 8 hours, you are an idiot.
Dr. Daniel Mckorley who was the key note speaking at the conference, share his life story with the young business owners by way of motivation.
He said,“Growing up, I did all kinds of jobs; selling on the streets, drivers’ mate, a messenger etc. I have been through a lot. At the age 28 I made my first 1 million Dollars but lost all at age 32. In my entrepreneurial life, I have always guided myself with this principles; being strict, not relying on help, setting up multiple strings of income, expunging laziness, sleeping less, being sales driven, self-branding, being consistent,hardworking, determine, good attitude, high integrity and above all am always ready for failure.”
He congratulated the leadership of GYE for the initiative and urged them to push this agenda devoid of politics and self-aggrandizement. He also urged the new Regional committee to work hard to bring all young entrepreneurs under GYE for a stronger voice.
The CEO of GYE, Mr.Sherif Ghali in his welcome address expressed sincere gratitude to the organizers and the members in the region.
He went further to indicate that GYE will be launched in all ten Regions in Ghana to ensure the development of young entrepreneurs is being championed.
According to him, “Ghana’s Young Entrepreneurs (GYE) began as an informal association of some few young entrepreneurs who identified the need to come together in early 2015. The group Headed by Mr. Sherif Ghali was officially launched on 19th of November, 2016 in Accra.
GYE is registered under theRegistrar General as a Non-Governmental Organization (N.G.O), the National Youth Authority (NYA), and an associate member of Commonwealth Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs.

I call on you and all young entrepreneurs who are driven by the passion to create wealth, jobs and contribute to national development to join Ghana’s Young Entrepreneurs (GYE). A youth association that is a firm believer of networks and its major strategic direction is based on its ability to build a robust network of entrepreneurs and create a strong movement that will be the voice to be reckoned with in championing youth entrepreneurship nationally”.

I remember watching the late Ibrahim Sima on t.v. He just went on and on about dedication and hardwork and dedication and hardwork and.....To be honest, listening to him made me feel really bad, as if I wasn't working hard enough. About a month later, ....Cocaine! ***barred word*** man.
The mark of an educated and civilised human being is an ability to express him or herself without insulting another. In this instance, there was not even a provocation. I suggest you go back to school to learn some common sense as you clearly have shown that you have none.
William, hahahahahah well said my brother, can u imagine.
SUCH A ***barred word*** TALK. THESE PEOPLE THROW THEIR WEIGHTS HERE AND THERE IN THE NAME OF BEING CEO's.MAN WISE-UP
Sleeping for 8 hours and a little bit more adviceby is good for our health so says the medical expert. Work hard but sleep enough.Don't stretch yourself too much because you will die before your time. So please Mr.keep the insult to yourself and don't sleep enough,very soon we those who sleep enough will be dancing at your funeral then you will realise how stuuupid you've been but then too late.
A man of your stature should know better than making asinine and sweeping statements. Be the best example. by making crass statements like that you are rather showing the youth to insult rather than criticise sensibly. You lack proper education so you just opened your mouth 360 degrees to make asinine comment. Show the youth how to communicate their frustrations without insulting people anyhow. I believe you were called because of your money and not because of your sense. Behave and act responsibly next time. Show that you have some decorum, self respect. How would you react if someone insulted you for the personal choice that you make. Teach the youth how to engage, communicate and network. You claim you are "a firm believer of networks" yet you are insulting and misbehaving?? Is that how you expect the young entrepreneurs to behave when they network??? You should be ashamed of yourself.
