Accra: Mr. Robert Beninn, the Chief Learning Strategist at Temple Advisory, has advised entrepreneurs to be resilient and think of themselves as enterprises to succeed. He emphasized that this mindset would enable them to create value, generate wealth, and drive innovation, while also offering personal and professional growth opportunities in the workplace.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Beninn delivered this advice during the 2025 Enterprise and Employment Fair organized by Kingdom Expression Ministries Worldwide in Accra. He encouraged individuals to operate within their fields as entrepreneurs, focusing on bringing value to the workplace rather than merely building careers. Mr. Beninn highlighted the importance of making the best use of available resources, especially in developing countries, to start and build the nation.
He further discussed the emotional challenges of entrepreneurship and the necessity of societal contribution, urging entrepreneurs to leverage the resources and endowments available to them. Mr. Beninn stressed the importance of a mindset shift to build entrepreneurial skills and abilities, asserting that entrepreneurs cannot wait for external redemption.

Mr. Yaw Tenkorang, a Writing Consultant and Trainer, also spoke at the event, advising entrepreneurs on future-proofing their careers by building relationships and partnerships crucial for business growth.
Mr. Tenkorang emphasized that career security depends on personal development rather than the job itself, urging entrepreneurs to adapt quickly amidst rapid technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence.
Pastor William Burckson, Pastor of Kingdom Expression Ministries Worldwide, highlighted the fair's goal of empowering church members to offer solutions and services that uplift their communities. The fair featured workshops, exhibitions, networking, and panel discussions to equip participants with essential skills and insights.
