Renowned Ghanaian businessman and Executive Chairman of the McDan Group, Daniel McKorley

Renowned Ghanaian businessman and Executive Chairman of the McDan Group, Daniel McKorley, popularly known as McDan, has urged the youth to prioritize hard work over comfort.

According to him, young adults need to practice discipline, courage, and personal sacrifice in order to achieve success.

McDan, who has become a symbol of entrepreneurial success in Ghana, urged them to cut back on sleep to invest more time in self-improvement and service to others.

“If you sleep eight hours a day, start sleeping four hours. Add the extra two hours in serving somebody. There’s a lot of benefit in service. So, start with yourself,” McDan advised.

McDan was speaking at the 2025 edition of PCH Hangouts at the ICGC The New Wine Temple, East Legon.

He lamented that while many Ghanaian youth are intelligent and full of potential, they often lack the discipline and “finishing power” needed to turn their dreams into reality.

Drawing from his own experiences, McDan recounted the massive response to the McDan Entrepreneur Challenge, which received 15,000 applications for new businesses.

However, he noted that many applicants struggled to see their ideas through to completion.

“It’s not money. The finishing power. If you ask me to stop everything and focus on one thing, focus on yourself,” he stated.

McDan encouraged young people to cultivate discipline and courage, characteristics he believes are essential for overcoming challenges and achieving long-term goals.

“Discipline is what the Ghanaian youth need, discipline and a bit of courage. We have smart youth in this country, but they need a bit of discipline and a bit of courage,” he said.
