You don’t need money to make money; you need mindset – Oscar Bimpong
The Director of Train2inspire Consultancy, Oscar Bimpong has urged individuals who aim to succeed in life to cultivate the right mindset.
This is due to the fact that he believes that having the proper mindset is the only way to succeed in anything.
In addition, he said that the best success tool, which the majority of people lack, is honesty.
“You don’t need money to make money; you need the right mindset to make money. You need the right idea to make money. How do you attract it? Honesty is one of the greatest currencies you can use to attract anything you want, but in our society, a lot of people are not honest,” he told Roselyn Felli on Prime Morning.
The dishonest behaviour of certain people with less status, he continued, is preventing them from breaking through, as the wealthy stop helping them.
The mindset revolutionist additionally highlighted that an individual’s skills and abilities cannot propel them to greater heights if they lack the proper mindset.
“It’s about time we work on our minds. If we don’t work on our minds, sometimes our skills and abilities will never take us anywhere.”
He cautioned those who, as a result of repeated failure, think that failure is their lot in life, saying that defeat has a way of weakening the mindset.
In order to prosper and achieve one’s goals, according to Mr. Bimpong, one must live deliberately. However, since the conscious mind only makes up about 5% of the mind, it is challenging for most people.
“We’ve got the conscious and the subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is your wishes and desires in life. The subconscious mind is what I refer to as the memory bank. It’s from the day you were born till now. Every episode you’ve had in life is stored in the subconscious mind,” he said.

Cruse expressed US EXIM’s eagerness to deepen its existing relations with GEXIM and proposed the signing of a new Cooperative Framework Agreement following the expiration of a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2019 to utilize US EXIM’s medium term loan guarantees to procure machinery by GEXIM for qualified Ghanaian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
Mr.Sylvester Mensah thanked the Acting President and Chairman of US EXIM for hosting the GEXIM delegation and reaffirmed the Ghanaian government’s commitment to strengthening trade and investment between Ghana and its global partners for economic transformation of Ghana with GEXIM playing a pivotal role.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
