The Ekosiisen Beginning The Year Right Conference was held on Saturday, January 17, at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra, urging Ghanaians to be intentional about financial independence and purposeful living.
The event featured Dr. Paul Mante, CEO of EDC Investment Ltd., and award-winning business leader and author, Richmond Kwame Frimpong, as keynote speakers.
Dr. Mante cautioned that earning a good salary does not necessarily guarantee financial security, challenging participants to ask themselves how long they could survive without a paycheck.
He noted that many workers would struggle to last three months without income, stressing the importance of understanding one’s net worth and the difference between assets and liabilities.
He identified financial education as key to achieving financial freedom and outlined seven principles for financial independence. These include planning one’s finances, building assets, eliminating liabilities, investing windfalls wisely, giving back to society, and enjoying a portion of one’s income.
Mr. Frimpong encouraged participants to discover their purpose, live intentionally, and practice discipline in both their personal and financial lives.
The conference provided attendees with practical tools to start the year with focus, clarity, and a well-defined path to success.
Joseph Odotei of Adom Online captured key moments from the conference.
