About Me

My name is Joseph Quansah. I am the second child of a christian family of five who live in a very lucrative mining town of Ghana called Obuasi. I completed Opoku Ware Senior High School in 2011. I am currently pursing my BSc. in Mining Engineering at the University of Mines and Technology, Ghana West-Africa. Prior to my admission into this reputable institution, I opened a phone shop which I am currently managing. It is a very profitable business venture which is helping to support most of my school expenses, and family members as well. I have one shop now and this mobile phone business is really booming in my community.

I normally read books - mostly pertaining to my profession and daily graphics to keep myself abreast of current affairs during my leisure hours. However, watching football match is my main hobby.

My Business

I began this phone business in 2011 and I have decided to expand this business since there is a high demand of phones in my community. People are buying these handsets; especially the small scale miners in my town due to their affordability. I gain maximum interest as twice as I purchase them for sale. I thought about this booming business and to be frank, people are really patronizing my services. I want to purchase these phones in bulk to be able to supply my customers on a regular basis. Since the business is gradually expanding, I need additional shop to stock it with phone accessories to help boost my in my earnings The cost of one brand new phone ranges from $100 to $120, and I am able to sell them for $180 and $200 to get more profit. In case I am able to get $2000, it will help me purchase more phones and accessories to boost this business. Therefore, I am appealing to all Zadisha lenders to help me with this loan to be able to purchase additional phones and accessories to expand my business and serve customers to their satisfaction. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

I am privileged to personally own this phone shop through the collective effects of the zidisha loan lending community. I am mainly focused on this phone business and I want to continue doing this business for a long period of time because of the massive profit accruing from this business. I need this loan of about $2000 to expand my territories and become a renowned seller of this phones and accessories in my community.

As it can be seen from my profile, I have been doing this business by the help of the previous loans from the zidisha community and because of the profit I receive, I have been able to repay all my loan on timely manner, even less than the stipulated time to finish the repayment. Hence, I am pleading with the zidisha loan lending community in all philanthropies to help me with this loan and boost my business and take it to the next level. God richly bless you all.

    I vehemently opine with Les Brown when he said, "Learn to live beyond your mistakes. When you attempt anything ambitious, you are going to make mistakes. The biggest achievements are often those that result from the biggest mistakes. You will achieve your way to success when you refuse to let the mistakes stop you. Find a way to let those mistakes teach you. Move beyond them to your next success! You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you."
    I almost got sidetracked and business was dwindling down drastically, following a blunder I committed. But lo and behold, fortune paid me a visit and I got hold of a solid advice from a friend who introduced me to an importation business to skyrocket my business. Yes, he helped and I am now chalking success and gaining profit now all because I wasn't stagnant at what was not working for me. I learned from my mistake and moved forward; hence, my business success. Good GOD!

    Good day Zidisha team and Honorable Lenders. I'm glad to say that business is still booming and, hence my quick and early payments. I am left with my final loan repayment amount of approximately $74 and I hope lenders will be glad to lend me my next loan for business expansion. Bless you all.

    Joseph, I applaud you for your perseverance, getting through that rough financial time a few months ago, and now paying off your loan so quickly. Well done. What will you do with your next loan, to expand your business even more?

      Sure Brian. I never thought I could get over my debt but with perseverance and determination, I have sailed through. I met the right person to usher me into importation business and now I am enjoying the benefit. My next loan, of course, will be used to expand my growing business and part to learn how to build website to show off my other talents and market myself internationally. I am very optimistic that you will come to my aid in funding my next loan as you always do but until then, I say cheerio and keep fit. Bless you!

    “I think the best kind of virality is a product that people like so much that they just want to tell people about it.”
    Paul Buchheit

    This quote by this greatest philanthropist makes me market my phone business to all and sundry and this has landed me on the land of mini importation of phones from abroad and sell in Ghana for profit. Through broadcasting my business, a friend introduced importation to me and frankly speaking I have made a lot of profit with Zidisha loans. I thank all my lenders for this change of life.

    Hello lenders, I want to assure you all that sales of my phone and accessories are on the increase and I want to adjust my loan and pay more to help me finish repayment on time and borrow another loan to import more phones. Importation has helped me gain more profit over the months to skyrocket my phone business. I thank all Zidisha lenders for such a philanthropy, care and patient. God bless you all.
