Mini Seminar: Personal Finance

On Friday, Nana Gyesie gave a Mini Seminar on Personal Finance: A Student's Guide to Financial Independence.

He started off with a very brief introduction to Databank and our 'LEap HIgh' value system; Leadership, Excellence, Humility and Integrity, and what that means to individuals as part of the firm. He spoke about Databank's vision and how our resources can help build wealth, manage and track financial progress.

We then had a discussion about why it's important to invest and how it can be more beneficial to invest rather than save.

Most importantly, we talked about how it's possible for anyone, no matter how much money they have to begin with, to invest. Simple things like cutting down on things like soft drinks, mobile credit and leisure activities mean that we can all put aside a little money to invest.

As the saying goes, "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves". The time is now!

Pictures of this Mini Seminar (and others) are up on our Facebook page... have a look at them here!
