Diaspora Dreams: Ghanaian American Build Homes & Make a Fortune in Ghana 🇬🇭 - Rush Asare

Konnected Minds Podcast

Embarking on a new venture can be both daunting and exhilarating, but what does it take to leap across continents and dive into the entrepreneurial waters of Ghana? Join us as Rush Asare, founder of Akkadian Limited, shares his riveting journey from the United States to the heart of Accra, where he established a beacon for the diaspora aiming to build homes in their motherland. From the intricate web of legalities in Ghanaian business to establishing a bedrock of trust in international real estate, Rush's narrative is nothing short of a masterclass in resilience and innovation.
When fate throws a mentor into your path, the trajectory of your life can veer into unexpected, yet prosperous, territories. Such was the case for me, as a chance encounter in the gym spiraled into a whirlwind of mentorship and personal development. Analyzing the pivotal shifts from corporate fidelity to wealth creation, Rush and I pull back the curtain on the strategies that safeguard an entrepreneur's journey – touching upon the vitality of a clear vision, a financial cushion, and the fortitude to prioritize family security over business whims.
Finally, no entrepreneurial saga is complete without the trials and triumphs of growth and diversification. As we weave through Rush's multifaceted world – from pineapple farms to YouTube content creation – we celebrate the tenacity required to not only start small but to also embrace a myriad of investment avenues. With lessons on the delicate dance of quality versus speed in construction, and a peek into the potential of technology to streamline operations, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to infuse their business ventures with a dose of Ghanaian grit and wisdom.
