A Ghanaian man, identified as Nana Appiah, has opened up about how he created wealth with his meagre resources.

According to Nana Appiah, he started his entrepreneurial journey many years ago by selling storybooks at the Tema Station in Accra.

Recounting his life experiences to a group of guys, Nana Appiah said he slept at the Tema Station because he could not afford rent in the capital at the time.

Despite the challenges he encountered, the entrepreneur said he persevered to become the successful man that he is today.

In a TikTok video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Nana Appiah said he now owns a chain of businesses and properties across Ghana.

"I started with only GH¢70 by selling storybooks at the Tema Station. I also slept there. This is not a lie; I started life with GH¢70, and it's from this that I have been able to buy a Lexus and constructed hostels. Everything that I am today is from the GH¢70 that I began my entrepreneurial journey with," he said.

Nana Appiah consequently admonished the youth against wasting money on needless things, adding that they could use the few resources they had to start something for themselves.
