Darren Bond

ABOUT DARREN

Darren Bond is the alter-ego of Darren Brown, born and raised in London. In 2010, he made the unorthodox move to Accra, Ghana. Between 2013-2017, he was the part owner of nightclubs Mint and Shaka Zulu, and then went on to solely own Level 8 Business Executive Lounge.

Fast forward to today, he’s a highly sought-after top-tier Business Consultant and successful Real Estate Entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Procrastination is a waste of time. Just do it.

It’s better to have a remote job and a plan and relocate to Ghana, then to come and figure things out.

Darren used nightclubs as a vehicle not to necessarily generate cashflow, but to build an extensive network in Ghana as he didn’t have any friends.

Living ghana is a pun for “ live in ghana”

Expect the unexpected in Ghana

Have multiple contacts for the same job in Ghana (e.g. have 3 different builders rather than just relying on one)

You must move fast in Ghana to take advantage of opportunities. Otherwise you will miss the boat. “This is called speed of implementation”
