He asked me to make a copy of my student ID and submit it to him.I did it the next day and the journey of my dream business started. He gave me five phones to start, I sold them on campus and went to pay him,he gave me new one and this time seven phones. I understand business startup to be trust start not capital to start. I now have a shop at the eastern of Ghana. This is a business area where I want to grow my business to a whole shop.
