In the journey of life, one factor that makes a person stand tall among others is determination. It is what propels a person to break boundaries and overcome obstacles that life throws at them.
Elizabeth Aboreson, a young Ghanaian lady is an example of what determination and hard work look like. Her willingness to make her business thrive against all odds is commendable.
Elizabeth grew up with her parents in Yeji, a town in the Bono East region. Growing up, she saw her mum and most women in the town sell fish. However, she did not see herself doing the fish business in the future although she helped her mother sell sometimes.
After her mother’s demise, Elizabeth moved to Accra and started working as a maid and a nanny. In 2017, she lost all her belongings when her house got flooded.
In 2019, Elizabeth decided to try the fish business because it was her only option. She used all the skills she had acquired during the time of helping her mother and started the work. According to her, she did not take it “seriously” initially however, the support from friends and family gave her a reason to do so.
Through perseverance and hard work, today Elizabeth has many customers and her business is growing steadily. She supplies fish to customers across Ghana and internationally. She looks forward to expanding the business and becoming a household name.
Elizabeth is an inspiration, her unwavering commitment, resilience, and focus on her business are the guiding forces that will drive her business to tremendous success.
