Ghanaian millionaire Daniel McKorley affectionately known as McDan has said that during his MBA studies, he learned the importance of discipline.
According to him, despite his millionaire status with over $40 Million sitting comfortably in his account, he faced academic challenges while pursuing his Master of Business Administration (MBA) as he received low grades of D and Fs.
He also further emphasized the significance of working intelligently, rather than exerting excessive effort, upon reaching a particular phase in life.
He shared:
I made my first million dollars at the age of 28 and lost it all at the age of 32. And I remember when I was doing my MBA…one of the most difficult parts in life.
You would run to the class and a professor would look at me and give me D and Fs meanwhile I had 40 million dollars sitting in my account.
Can you imagine, can you do that? That is very difficult but we call that discipline.
It is not because of money but you have to get somewhere. You know I always say that when you are young work hard.
You reach a certain stage of your life, you work smart. You get to a certain stage your money has to work for you.
