About Me
My name is Samuel Kwame Oppong. I come from Asiakwa in the Eastern Region. I am a businessman and am precisely into network marketing, both online and offline. I have been into network marketing for the past five years. I am happily married to Afia Owusua Oppong, with whom I have had two lovely children, a boy and a girl. My wife works at the Ministry of Finance, she is at the HR department and has shown keen interest in Zidisha loan. I reside at Mataheko near Kaneshie with my wife and kids. I am sociable person as well as a team player. I am a first degree and cert “A” holder. I majored in sociology and management. With my background as a trained teacher, I am able to organize people and train them to acquire a particular skill to better enhance their financial life. I actually resigned from my teaching job to become a networker only to help others and myself have the freedom to generate multiple streams of income. Most of my colleagues look up to me, for better business opportunities. Currently, I am training some friend to become forex traders and they are all doing very well in demo accounts. I intend assisting those of them who need some financial assistance by referring them to Zidisha. I always say that Zidisha has really come at the time we need it most and I am grateful to the staff and management for make such a flexible financial facility to be available for us. Long live Zidisha, long live all the staff, management and members and not forgetting the mentors.
My Business
I started work as a teacher and I taught for about 11 years. During these years of teaching, I attended various evening schools to learn different trades like computer hardware and Networking, snail farming and even learnt how to convert organic materials into biogas. After all these I realized a need to get a first degree. It was in my final year in the university that I resigned from my official duty as a teacher. One will ask why I resigned from teaching at that stage of my life, when I had just married. The truth was that there was an edge inside me to be an entrepreneur. The desire to help people was high on my dreams; It was so strong that I realized that working for someone cannot me realize that dream so I had to leave my comfort zone. My first area of call was to organize some young boys who were not work and taught them computer hardware and at least two of them are now full time hardware technicians and are doing well.
The next action I took was to become a product networker. The idea was introduced to me and I saw myself in the ideology of product network where people help people succeed. My first company was 'Edmark', the business was great and I help a lot of people into it. Later on I added 'wetnetprofit', a board system and it was also doing great.
As a network marketer for almost six years, I have had lots of successes in the industry. I am a focused person who does one thing at a time. The bedrock of the industry is faithfulness, loyalty, friendliness and above all selflessness. I am always desirous to see my friends succeed and that had been my passion all these years. In this regard, I have had a lot of respect from my colleagues. I travel length and breadth of my country reaching out to people with this network marketing business.
My main problem has been finance. Getting a start-up capital in this country has been a great challenge. So when my friend told me about Zidisha, I was humbled. Even though I did not believe him, until he had his first and second loans. It is for this reason that I decided to join Zidisha and Ernest Kwakugah, my friend introduced me to your business friendly loan system. I know with this loan facility, I will gradually be able to achieve my dreams of setting up businesses which will change many lives. As I said earlier on, entrepreneurship is my passion. And to put smiles on people’s faces is my greatest desire
