The Chief Executive of Zonda Tec Ghana Limited and Sinotruk, a prominent Chinese transport and logistics company, Mrs Yang Yang, has charged women, especially Ghanaian women, to work hard and become the spirit that drives the man, the family and the nation forward.
Mrs. Yang Yang was speaking in a short video to women to mark this year’s International Women’s Day, where she averred that Ghanaian women have advantage in several industry and since industries in Ghana are male-dominated, women who are determined are given the necessary push to succeed.
She used herself as an example when she indicated that, being a male-dominated industry, most of the customers, in her rarefied associate with her because the see a woman doing such a great job.
“They have sympathy on me, they appreciate my work, they give me more business, so I am so blessed being a woman, determined to work irrespective of the obstacles,” she said.
Yang Yang also advised women never to think of themselves as mere woman or just a woman but regard themselves as entrepreneurs and be counted among the lot who are changing lives.
According to her, there is no need for woman to be attending so many social activities because, as an entrepreneur, attending such activities would rob you of the ability to think and to make informed decisions.
“If you really want to do a great job, don’t go into too many social activities, I seldom attend social activities. Once you have set this goal you need to know the rules,” she added.
She also said: “If you don’t attend so many social activities, you can do lots of thinking, you can think through and make decisions that would propel your business, and do your planning inside and set your agenda.”
She said women must also not lose sight of the fact that they are not just women but mothers, and for that matter must strive to be that good woman for the family, and for that man to lean on and ensure progress and make the family prosperous.
