Be nice to people, it can connect you to riches – Ibrahim Mahama

Ghanaian businessman and founder of Engineers and Planners, Ibrahim Mahama has shared his experience on how he became connected and eventually a rich man.

He said people you don’t think have potential to help you today may be your sources of wealth in the future and for that matter whenever you meet someone, you have to give the person an audience.

According to him, God has a purpose for everyone, so having conversation with people opens doors for you to meet great people.

“A piece of advice; when you see anybody anywhere, say hello, how are you, how is work, how is family, what do you do? Process that in your mind because you will never know when you will need that person. Don’t let us just come to church and pray.” Ibrahim Mahama gave this in an undisclosed church.

God has put us together for better things. Everybody has his strengths and weaknesses, so when your brother has a weakness, you shore him up. And I will tell you this because that has really helped me. Because anybody that I meet, some people I don’t know, some people I don’t remember, but even when you stop me and talk to me, I’ll say how are you, how is everything, how is your family, what do you do? I work in this…,” he said.

Ibrahim Mahama shared how someone he was working with connected him.

“I worked with this gentleman here. He used to pay me, but he used to delay my payment. But in that link, he was very good to me, and I didn’t know how close he was with Uncle Seth. And one day I saw the connection so that is how it works.”
