KIU Main Campus – If you are familiar with Vusi Thembekwayo, then this book will feel like a continuation of his motivation videos. However, it takes you further down his memory lane and gives you a front seat in his life. 

Vusi is sincere in explaining why and how he has gotten where he is, from the simple home of his mother to become one of the richest and most influential black men on Earth. 

He also explains why many Africans have failed to scale up in business and what others are doing that Africans can emulate to get there. This he goes about with simple to understand examples that anyone can grasp. 

When it comes to his position in life and how he is training his children not to lose sight of their background, he talks about how he is making sure that they don't forget their roots.

“I send my children to stay with my mother because I want them to form relationships with people on the other side of the fence. I want them to grow up culturally and socially ambidextrous,” he says in the book. 

The book is a simple guide into the life of a self-made millionaire and what you can learn from his life. A great read.
