Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim has urged young people to prioritise business knowledge as they advance in life, stressing that understanding investment and financial planning can shape long-term success.

According to the actress in an interview on Joy FM on March 7, 2026, this would be the advice she would give her younger self.

“Knowing what I know now, I would tell my 18-year-old self: ‘You should have done proper investment, taken a proper business course, or gotten a business manager to manage you as a brand at the time,’” she stated.

Reflecting on more than two decades in the entertainment industry, the actress said one of the key lessons she wishes she had learned earlier in her career was how to invest properly as an entertainer.

She explained that when she began her career, many entertainers did not receive proper guidance on how to save or invest for the future.

“One of the things I wish I knew then was how to invest properly as an entertainer because, at the time, we didn’t really have guidance from anyone. We didn’t really have anyone who would say, ‘Let me show actors or entertainers how they can save for the future or invest and become someone in the future.’ From footballers to whoever, if you look down the lane, a lot of people were just living life as it goes,” she said.

She noted that the absence of mentorship and financial education meant many people in the creative and sports industries focused on their careers without clear knowledge about financial planning or long-term investment.

Meanwhile, the actress also indicated that she is open to giving marriage another chance despite the challenges she has faced in her past relationships, explaining that her focus now is on maintaining peace of mind and choosing a partner who truly adds value to her life.

Juliet Ibrahim has revealed that even though she is currently single, she still believes in love and remains open to finding the right partner.

The actress made the disclosure in an interview with Giovani Caleb on Showbiz 360, where she spoke about her relationship status and her outlook on love.

“Yes, I believe in love very much,” she said when asked whether she would give love another chance.

Juliet explained that she is not dating anyone at the moment, noting that the past three years have been focused on personal development and self-improvement.

“I have been working on myself, growing and building myself for the past three years,” she explained.

According to her, stepping away from relationships created the opportunity to focus on her life, career, and personal goals.

Speaking about the qualities she looks for in a partner, the actress said shared goals and a common vision are very important to her.

“I think it’s just having similar goals and vision, and it has to really match up to my status,” she stated.

She added that she has been asked before whether she could date someone under her status, admitting that it would be difficult for her.

Juliet further stressed the importance of intellectual and emotional compatibility in a relationship, explaining that she values meaningful conversations and mutual support.

“When I come back from work or I’m trying to do something, I want to have a conversation with somebody who is impacting and adding value to me. And I also want to add value to him when he is having issues or difficulties in making some decisions,” she said.

“The person has to be a bit like me,” she added.

Juliet Ibrahim was previously married to Ghanaian businessman Kwadwo Safo Junior in 2010. The couple later divorced in 2014.

Since the separation, the actress has kept most aspects of her personal life private. However, her recent comments suggest that while she is currently single, she has not ruled out the possibility of falling in love again.

The actress graduated from Berkeley College in the United States, proudly joining the Class of 2025 as a Bachelor's degree holder in Marketing Communications.

Celebrating her achievement, she took to Facebook yesterday to express her joy and gratitude as she reflected on the toil that led her to this moment.

“From red carpets to research papers, late-night shoots to late-night study sessions… I DID IT!,” she wrote on Facebook, adding photos of herself beaming with joy and adorned in her graduation gown.

She encouraged her fans that it is never too late to achieve any dream, despite juggling them with other demands of life.

“This is your reminder: You’re never too old to reinvent yourself,” she added. “Cheers to new beginnings, bigger dreams, and breaking every limit.”

Her fans did not hesitate to share in her joy as they flooded her comment session with congratulatory messages, cheering her on to keep advancing in her endeavours.
