Yh that’s very true... I wish I knew these too. Now I can’t detach myself from my business. I can’t even use my official name... everyone knows KodjoEdem as a photo co. and as a person.

[@GloriaBuckman]

I totally feel you, Edem! I totally do. Now we know. But it's not too late to change the narrative for our businesses. It is not late kwraa. 🥂

Reason #1.. yes!!! You’re dead on with that!!!

[@GloriaBuckman]

It appears there are a few of us already on this table. 😃

Number 1 resonated with me most. People will come to the office of my first company and will want to meet me. Only me. They didn’t want to deal with my assistants or interns, even for the most basic thing.🤦🏽‍♀️ Luckily I have documented a lot of my entrepreneurial journey; from helping make my own furniture to cleaning my office when it was flooded one time because the restaurant next door left their tap on the night before and I had to conduct interviews the next day. 🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️I have worn many hats Gloria.

Edeeeeemmm!!! You know what I mean. You clearly do. 😅 It is not easy o. Especially in West Africa where the assumption is that "when you know THE BOSS, you're guaranteed special treatment". Heavy is the head that wears the crown ampa. 😂😭 But moooore VIM. 🥂 PS: I really shouldn't, but I can't stop laughing at the cleaning of the office and building furniture part. LISTEEEN! Our unedited entrepreneurial journeys will one day be televised. The world ain't ready. 😃

[@edemadzaho.]

Gloria Buckman Yankson I know about the special treatment paa. Why are we like that? Now that we are doing some stuff online, that will be interesting. They will tell Zoom they want the boss. 😂😂😂 Gloria, I have photos on the cleaning and all. We will tell our story ooo. They ain’t ready.

Aunt Coro - The Great Equalizer. 😃 || As for our untold stories, they will be televised - with receipts! 😆

@@GloriaBuckman Yesss!

[@veronicaagyemang8086]

The number 3 even applies to other businesses😁... Improving myself😍...I felt that😊

[@GloriaBuckman]

Don't undercut in public and cry in your office when the bills start piling up. 😃 || And YES! An investment in yourself is THE BEST investment. 🥂
