Mr. Lartey made the assertion at the opening ceremony of Entrepreneurship and Leadership Mastermind organized by Lartey Wellness Group LLC in Accra. Under the: “From fear to faith.’
“We hope to share our blueprint and the strategies we went through, but at this particular ceremony, I have come to listen to challenges confronting Ghanaian entrepreneurs and find a long-lasting solution.
The Event is free because is an avenue to learn and collectively share ideas,” he added.
Mr. Lartey stated that the Lartey Wellness Group LLC’s goal is to identify any current fears of Entrepreneurs, discuss leadership strategies to mitigate those fears, and be able to stand strong and courageous in the face of a looming global recession.

About Mastermind
Mastermind groups offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability, and support to sharpen your business and personal skills. A mastermind group helps you and your mastermind group members achieve success. Members challenge each other to set strong goals, and more importantly, to accomplish them.
Mastermind group facilitators start and run these groups. They help the group to dive deeply into fruitful discussions, and work with members to create success — as each member defines it. Facilitators are the secret to thriving mastermind groups. (I’ve seen plenty of groups fail because of poor leadership.)
Through the mastermind group process, first, you create a goal, then design a plan to achieve it. The group helps you with creative ideas and wise decision-making. Then, as you begin to implement your plan, you bring both success stories and problems to the group. Success stories are applauded (loudly!), and problems are solved through peer brainstorming and collective, creative thinking.
The group requires commitment, confidentiality, and willingness to both give and receive advice and ideas. The group members support each other with total honesty, respect, and compassion. Mastermind group members act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates, and supportive colleagues. This is the essence and value of mastermind groups.

Youth Urged to Avail Themselves For Mentorship
Accra, Aug.07, GNA— The youth have been advised to take advantage of mentoring opportunities to receive the requisite grooming that will spur them on to success.
They have also been urged to embrace hard work and avoid cutting corners in their quest for financial stability.
Reverend Bernard Osei-Duah, Resident Pastor, Family House Chapel, gave the advice on Saturday during a lunch engagement in Accra.
The meeting was organised by Mr Frank Lartey, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Lartey Wellness Group, together with his wife, Mrs Dorcas Lartey.
It was to create a platform for Pastors and CEOs to share knowledge and experiences for Church and business growth.
Rev Osei-Duah who is also the CEO of BOD Mogul Consult Ltd bemoaned the reluctance of the youth to avail themselves for “proper” grooming.
He said that had led many young people to get stuck in their entrepreneurial journeys and oblivious of the right decisions to take.
“The youth of today want quick fixes and do not want to work hard or follow principles. They need to avail themselves to receive grooming and mentorship. They must be patient and go through the mill if they want to make it in life and enjoy lasting successes,” he said.
The CEO said students seeking to be entrepreneurs must practice “service entrepreneurship” by serving under mentors or coaches to be closely monitored.
He urged the Church to streamline its activities to meet the overall needs of members and not only the spiritual aspect.
“We equally need to build the financial capacity of our members. They have needs, which must be met and they are going elsewhere for solutions. We need to identify these needs and meet them but if we fail to position ourselves well, we won’t be able to accomplish this. As a Pastor, don’t only focus on the spiritual side, teach members how to grow in other areas,” he added.
He urged CEOs and Church leaders to practice transformational leadership and knowledge sharing to pass the baton to the youth, who would continue to steer affairs when they were no longer in the position to do so.
Pastor Cecil Dodoo, Director of Administration, Calvary Baptist Church, said church management had evolved overtime, as such, church leaders needed to improve their church administration strategies and employ qualified staff to handle such matters.
“Administration is important in church management, so let us not overlook it. Gone were the days when church administration was handled by volunteers. In this present time and age, it is important to work with qualified staff who have the requisite expertise to handle things properly,” he said.
Pastor Joseph Darling MacCarthy of Torchbearers Mission Inc., said Africa could develop on its own without foreign support, adding that, Governments and leaderships in various sectors only needed to engage competent people to handle affairs.
He said Ghana’s education system had lost connection with the demands of the job market, as such, students graduated from school only to end up jobless.
The Clergyman, therefore, called for reforms in the educational curriculum to properly position students for viable job opportunities.
Pastor Andrews Denteh of the Global Revival Ministries said knowledge sharing amongst the Clergy was important to the overall growth of the Christian Community.
“Most Pastors shut their door and do not want to share ideas with fellow clergymen. This behaviour is not the best; it is making us stagnated. If Pastors would open up and share ideas of how they are making significant strides in their ministries, it would help us all,” he said.

Ghana: Take Advantage of Investment Opportunities... Entrepreneurs Urged
Local and foreign entrepreneurs have been urged to take advantage of the numerous investment opportunities in the country to expand their business portfolios.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lartey's Wellness Group, Frank Lartey, who made the call at an entrepreneurship and network seminar in Accra yesterday, said, numerous investment opportunities exist in the country in the areas of banking, real estates, health, oil and gas, manufacturing and others.
The three-day seminar was organised by Lartey's Wellness Group, a consulting firm in partnership with Mold Moogle Consult and Moogle Academy for pastors, entrepreneurs and business operators in and outside the country.
Held on the theme "From fear to faith, leadership strategies to prepare for global recession," it was meant to educate the participants on the business and investment opportunities that exist in the country.
Mr Lartey said the programme was to enlighten private, public micro businesses on how to overcome their challenges and stay competitive.
He noted that young leaders of already established organisations or potential entrepreneurs stood the chance of gaining strategic knowledge on funding and how to attract the best human resources.
According to the CEO, several businesses began with the owner's own resources or supports from family or friends, and noted that without the needed funding a business could not survive in case of an unforeseen shock.
The Head of MoldMoggle Consult and Moggle Academy, Reverend Bernard OseiDuah, said a lot of the youth these days preferred politics to establishing their own business.
Rev. Duah encouraged young pastors to establish their own businesses to cater for themselves instead of depending on the church.
The Managing Director of Kumasi Hyve, Mr Morris NiiAdjei, said there were countless opportunities in Africa to attract foreign investors, but how to identify, package and present them for sponsorship was the problem.
"A lot of businesses fail to attract the needed investment because of poor approach and unattractiveness to the investors," he said.
