Why Building Wealth, Losing Weight, and Growing a Business Are Easier Than You Think
We’ve all heard it before:
-
💰 Making money is hard
-
⚖️ Losing weight is hard
-
🏢 Running a successful business is hard
But what if I told you the opposite?
My name is Emmanuel Akrong, CEO and Founder of CedisPay, and I’m here to tell you that making money is easy, losing weight is easy, and running a successful business is easy. Now, let’s be clear—easy doesn’t mean fast.
The Myth of Overnight Success
As humans, we crave quick results. But the truth is, anything sustainable takes time. Consider these statistics:
-
95% of people who go on rapid weight-loss diets regain the weight within a year (National Institutes of Health).
-
70% of lottery winners go broke within a few years (National Endowment for Financial Education).
-
20% of businesses fail in the first year, and 50% don’t make it past five years (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).
Why? Because they chase fast results instead of sustainable progress.
How I Lost 80 Pounds and Built Wealth Using the Same Strategy
Years ago, I was at rock bottom. I lost my wife and son. I lost my job. I was drowning in debt with no emergency fund. I had to rebuild my life from scratch. I started small. My first win was getting into the gym—not to lift heavy weights, but just to show up. I started light, built consistency, and gained momentum. Fast forward five years: I’ve kept the weight off, built wealth, and launched a company that empowers others to achieve financial security. And I realized something: The same method applies to building wealth and running a business.
Why CedisPay Is Built for Long-Term Success
I didn’t build CedisPay overnight. I knew I wanted to create a financial system that lasts, not something that grows quickly and collapses. That’s why we started with:
-
✅ Pension-backed loans—low-risk, secured lending to build financial resilience
-
✅ Strategic partnerships—working with pension trustees to create a strong foundation
-
✅ Momentum over time—once we master this, we’ll expand to higher-risk lending like the informal sector.
Just like in the gym, I can’t start with heavy weights—I need to build strength and consistency first.
The Three-Step Formula for Success in Anything
Whether it’s losing weight, making money, or growing a business, success comes down to three principles:
-
Break it into small, achievable steps. Start with something easy—momentum matters more than intensity
-
Stay consistent. Overnight success is a myth; sustainable results take patience and persistence
-
Follow a proven system. The gym, wealth-building, and business all work on step-by-step progressions—jumping steps leads to failure.
