Just when he was about to complete school, he reached out to a couple of garages for employment but was turned down by all including those who were requesting to work with him later, Yeboah revealed.
The huge offer
He received an offer from Ford after school and was to receive a monthly net salary of Ghc17,600 but he declined.
According to Yeboah, the decline was because of advice he received from a friend.
Having the perfect friend
This particular friend owned a mechanic garage hence was able to convince Yeboah that he stands to earn much more if he starts his own garage.
He heeded the advice and with his friend's assistance, he was able to register his company.
The final payoff
He encountered many challenges at the early stages especially in terms of rent but he is reaping the benefits after two years, the young entrepreneur added.
Kwabena Ofosu shared more about his journey in the video linked below;

In a LinkedIn post written at the beginning of August, the female mechanic said that she does not give up when others are quitting.
She encouraged people to chase their dreams no matter what the cost of doing so could be. In another post, she advised on the need to overcome fear and succeed.
Some of the photos she shared on the platform have her under a car as she worked on fixing the vehicle’s faults.
