Ghanaian business mogul, Daniel Mckorley
The Executive Chairman of the McDan Group, Daniel McKorley, popularly known as McDan, has emphasised the role of hard work in achieving success.
He noted that as an entrepreneur, it is important to take proactive steps after praying.
McDan stated that prayer alone does not guarantee success; rather, combining it with action yields results.
“There is nothing Pastor Ocran can do for you if you are lazy. There is nothing God can do for you if you pray and fast for 100 days but fail to take a step,” he declared, drawing inspiration from James 2:17, which states that “faith without works is dead,” McDan said.
McDan stressed that success is not a handout but something that must be actively pursued and worked for.
He recounted how he built his business empire from humble beginnings, reflecting on his struggles growing up, including selling kerosene, working as a driver’s mate, and experiencing financial hardship.
He, therefore, challenged young people to take action instead of waiting for a miracle.
“Many people pray for success, but are we ready to work for it? You cannot dream of becoming a great entrepreneur and yet fear taking the first step. Waiting means working. Waiting means taking action. Waiting means sowing seeds in faith, even when you don’t see results,” he explained.
McDan encouraged young people to embrace new opportunities and be daring in their choices if they seek success.
“Never be afraid to fail. What you accept will never upset you. If you accept that failure is part of the journey, when it comes, you won’t be frustrated. God has been good to us, but you must take a step toward your vision. If you don’t move, nothing will happen,” he concluded.
