Running the business as a family

Mrs Wilson said her secret is just making sure everyone understands the vision and treating them as dignified people who are part of one big family.
"I don't even know how to be a boss, to be honest with you. I just know how to be a mother, treating people with care and dignity and bringing them up to speed to understand the direction we are going, she revealed.
To add up to that, Mr Wilson also mentioned that his dream is to help people develop their fullest potential and become the best humans they can be in any way possible, and interestingly, God has directed them to meet great personalities to work with since they landed in Ghana.

The vision and future projects
Seven Streams Limited Company is not the only project that is being undertaken. Mr and Mrs Wilson explain that they are dedicated towards making a big statement to the Black community abroad and even Africans in Africa that the continent is a fertile ground for businesses to spring up and for investments.
In addition, a big part of the motivation with which they are undertaking the projects is to create meaningful livelihood for the youth and give them a safe haven to work in, in these hard economic weather.
For this reason, a non-profit organization is in a pipeline to help different communities in Ghana.
Advice for Blacks in the diaspora about business prospects in Ghana and Africa
According to Mr and Mrs Wilson, their experience since touching down in Ghana and Africa has been one that they would love all Black people to have in their lifetime if possible.
They describe Africa as a home that has been painted dirty to its own indegenes who happen to be born abroad.
It is also a land full of great potentials for investors and businesses, according to the Caribbean couple.
"Africa is a very beautiful place that gets you a really peaceful atmosphere to run your business. You have to be here to see for yourself. Don't listen to the negative pictures that are painted of this beautiful land. Since we came here, the experience has been completely amazing," Mr and Mrs Wilson said.
