Review :PROFESSOR JOHN GARTCHIE GATSI, ESQ

This book is an inspiring entrepreneurial account which promises to be an asset to young entrepreneurs.

The book presents a bold narration of life experiences of an entrepreneur to serve as a reservoir of lessons to shape the entrepreneurial journey of many especially the youth.

The book has the potential to teach the valuable lessons of keeping records, discovering the assets in everyone including locals, foreigners and peripheral outcasts in society to achieve goals.

The experience in 2003 about the faulty report to collapse Unique Trust Financial Services Limited without discussing the said report with the shareholders and directors was unfortunate. This may confirm the suspicion about the possible misuse of regulatory authority to bring to an end, painfully, the entrepreneurial journey of many people.

Even though the escape from collapse of the non-banking financial business was mainly due to access to near insider information and the weight of intervention by the Deputy Minister of Finance, deeper understanding and boldness during the meeting with the Governor of the Bank of Ghana was remarkable. 

Every effort should be put in place to avoid and discourage the killing of businesses either in banking and financial sector, pharmaceutical or manufacturing by accident, envy and misuse of political power because it amounts to administering poisonous chemical on hardworking indigenous entrepreneurs.

I shall recommend this book to young entrepreneurs to benefit from the valuable lessons from the experience of the author.
