The leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako aka Cheddar, has shared the story of how he achieved his first million pounds at the age of 21.
His initial success was a result of engaging in telecommunications and the strategic business of selling scrap in the United Kingdom, he said.
During an interview on Citi TV's Point of View, Cheddar disclosed that he invested $20,000 from his first million-dollar earnings to establish a nightclub in Ghana.
This entrepreneurial move eventually generated $75,000 after selling the club in 2002.
Recounting his early entrepreneurial journey, Cheddar said, “The first money I made in England altogether was a million pounds, and I was 21.
"I was working for myself, my company was GT, Global Telecommunications and Utilities, I was selling scrap. I had my own office and I had two employees."

He highlighted the challenges of maintaining wealth, emphasising how investments can deplete funds and create a sense of being broke again, driving one to stay hungry for success.
Cheddar also expressed his commitment to providing opportunities for the youth to participate in the decision-making processes of the country if he is elected into power in the 2024 polls.
According to him, the youth have not had such opportunities in the last four decades and have often been used by politicians who offer financial incentives in exchange for votes.
“I think that the New Force is standing for the youth in this country. We believe that in the past four decades, the youth should have the right to be a part of the decision – how and who is going to lead us and how they are supposed to lead us," Cheddar said.
"In the past four decades, between NDC and NPP, there hasn’t been any young person who has stood up with the courage to say that I am coming in, and I am going to become the unifier.”
