McDan revealed that came in the form of selling petty trading, by selling kerosene and bofrot until he got his break.
McDan was speaking during his appearance at tertiary institutions in the Ashanti Region for a pitching series where he presented loans and investments to young men who had great business ideas.
The businessman was interviewed during the event and was asked how young people can be encouraged to continue working hard no matter their circumstances.
McDan said it has become commonplace to doubt that rich people had the ‘humble beginnings’ they claim to have, but he truly came from a humble background.
“If you go on social media, people don’t tend to believe the rich men anymore. They think the rich men are corrupt. There is a lot of anger on social media,” McDan said. He added: “They will tell you how can you be a messenger and build an empire. How can you be selling kerosene? I was once selling bofrot and kerosene on the streets of La,”
McDan added that despite his struggles, he made a million dollars by the age of 28.
