“Reputation may open doors, but it is character that keeps them open.” – Blogger Nathaniel Quaye advises

Published

on

In an era where social media often amplifies perception over reality, few voices rise above the noise with clarity and conviction. One of such voices is Nathaniel Quaye, a respected Ghanaian blogger, author, and publicist of Accra Metropolitan University, whose recent writings remind us of the timeless truth, reputation may glitter, but it is character that endures.

Nathaniel Quaye, author of the much-anticipated book “The Internet & You”, has carved a niche for himself by addressing the pressing issues of digital life and online presence. His work emphasizes how the internet, while a powerful tool for visibility and reputation-building, also demands responsibility, authenticity, and above all, character. In his view, the virtual world mirrors society’s struggle with image versus reality a tension he unpacks both as a writer and as a communications professional.

Speaking on the subject, blogger Nathaniel Quaye has observed; “Reputation is simply what others think of you, a perception, an image. But character is deeper; it’s who you truly are when no one is watching. Reputation may open doors temporarily, but it is character that sustains you.”

This philosophy does not just sit in theory. At Accra Metropolitan University, Nathaniel Quaye’s work as a publicist goes beyond branding and public relations. He is known for encouraging students and professionals to embrace ethical communication, intentional storytelling, and values-driven leadership. He believes that in a world quick to reward popularity, cultivating integrity and consistency is what secures lasting influence.

His book, “The Internet & You”, builds on this message by guiding readers on managing digital footprints, cultivating a professional online presence, and navigating challenges such as online reputation management, cyberattacks, and digital legacy. More than a technical guide, the book is a call to personal responsibility in the digital space blending his expertise in PR with his passion for ethical leadership.

Through Anansesem Media, he continues to help individuals, businesses, and institutions shape authentic narratives, build sustainable reputations, and leverage the power of digital media to achieve lasting impact.

“Don’t build your business around people you know” NoVisa Foodplug CEO Warns

Published

on

CEO of NoVisa Foodplug, Samira Issaka, has advised entrepreneurs to be deliberate about identifying their target customers rather than depending heavily on friends and acquaintances to sustain their businesses.

According to the foodpreneur, familiarity can sometimes become a disadvantage in business because people who know an entrepreneur personally may not always treat the business with the seriousness required.

She explained that friends and acquaintances may feel overly comfortable asking for favours, expecting discounts or failing to pay promptly for products and services, creating challenges for business owners who depend on their personal networks for patronage.

“Before I started my food business, I already knew the people who will become my customers and was deliberate about it,” she said in a social media post.

Samira’s comments emphasise the importance of understanding the market before starting a business. For her, entrepreneurs should identify people who genuinely need what they are offering and build strategies around serving those customers.

She further referenced a food business located close to Nsawam, where customers are willing to travel a considerable distance to purchase food. She used the example to demonstrate that customers will go out of their way for a product or service when they believe the quality and experience are worth it.

However, she stressed that separating friendship from business should not become an excuse for poor customer service.

While entrepreneurs may choose not to rely on friends to drive their businesses, they must ensure that their actual customers are satisfied with their products and services.

Her advice comes at a time when many young entrepreneurs rely heavily on their immediate social circles when launching businesses. Although personal networks can provide an important starting point, building a sustainable business requires more than having people you know as customers.

A clear understanding of the target market, consistent quality, good customer service and the ability to attract customers beyond one’s immediate circle can ultimately determine whether a business survives and grows.

For Samira, the lesson is simple: entrepreneurs should not confuse familiarity with loyalty, and they should build businesses around value rather than relationships alone.
