π© Orders every day. MoMo alerts all monthβ¦ and NOTHING left at month end?
You're not bad at business. You're just running it without the numbers.
β Busy but Broke is the practical money guide for Ghanaian salary earners who run a side business in the evenings and at weekends.
β Bankers. β Teachers. β Civil servants. β Nurses. β Techies. If you sell bags, clothes, food, dΓ©cor or services alongside your 9-to-5, this book is for you.
β One chapter per lunch break. 9 short chapters, about 10 minutes each, and every one ends with ONE task you can finish in a day.
π― What you'll be able to do:
β Find the true cost of what you sell: delivery, packaging, data, even your own time
β Set prices that survive the cedi, based on what restocking costs today
β Separate business money from chop money and check your MoMo in 5 minutes a night
β Stop stock and "pay me on salary day" debtors from freezing your cash
β Pay yourself a fixed salary, and handle family requests without touching business money
β Produce a one-page monthly P&L and know whether to grow, hold or cut
β Decide, with numbers, when (or whether) to quit your day job
π What you get (one instant download):
β The e-book: 87 pages, phone-friendly, with clickable contents
β 12 ready-to-use templates (Excel & Google Sheets), pre-filled with examples, so you just type your numbers into the yellow cells
β A 30-Day Action Plan: one small task a day
β A 10-Minute Money Health Check to find your weak spot first
π¬π Real Ghanaian examples, not foreign theory. Follow Akua (handbags from China, Accra), Kwame (thrift bales from Kejetia, Kumasi) and Esi (event dΓ©cor, Takoradi) as they fix the problems you know too well: cedi falls, fake alerts, "last price" customers, black tax and the January drought.
π¨πΎβπΌ About the author: Pepra Boateng has been a finance manager in a government institution for 20 years. His first business, an electronics shop, failed: no records, mixed accounts, profits spent. He repaid the loan from his salary. The lessons in this book built his next company, a building materials manufacturer that has been profitable for 10 years while he kept his full-time job.
β Quick questions
β Do I need to be good at maths? No. Every sum is shown step by step in cedis, and the templates do the maths for you.
β Does it work for a service business? Yes! Esi's dΓ©cor and catering business runs through the whole book.
β Starting out or already selling? It's best if you're already selling or about to start. It's about managing the money, not finding a business idea.
β What format are the templates? One spreadsheet file with 12 tabs. It works in Excel and Google Sheets, even on your phone.
β Is this tax or legal advice? No. It explains the basics and tells you when to check with GRA, the Registrar of Companies or an accountant.
