Is there a recipe for success? Miles Kubheka was one of many South Africans who were inspired by an advert, but probably the only one who acted on it to bring a beeg dreamer to life. In his 11 Recipes Miles, explores the idea that there is a possibility of a recipe for success. The book provides both an inspiring force for aspiring entrepreneurs to act as well as the cold water realism of doing so. Miles offers real advice in the basics of intellectual property, PR, Partnerships, Staff, funding and the lifestyle of a true entrepreneur He further proves the old business principles of "location, location, location" & "not what you sell or serve but why" In my opinion it is a must have for any entrepreneur and is as relevant now in 2021 as it was in 2016. Thank you Miles.

It is not easy to imagine the immense difficulty of having to “cherry pick” just a few of many moments in what has been a 30+ year journey in global marketing & translate them into a book of lessons that are globally relevant especially in the world today. But Mike Abel has pushed the envelope beyond that, by giving you the “Lego Blocks” to help you build the business & country you have a passion for; with the valuable lessons learnt in the rise of M&C Saatchi Abel & those of their long term clients. From a refreshing take on Conventional Business advice to where Capitalism as a whole should evolve responsibly in the name of Sustainability, the book remains consistently positive in its message that South Africans & South Africa itself have a great deal to offer & that there is success to be had in Brutal Simplicity of Thought & intent of meaningful action. No matter your background, country of origin, career or business it is sure to leave you positively inspired & feeling almost as if you have worked with Mike & his team; if only for a few days. It is a resource that I believe truly harnesses & entrepreneurial spirit & is an absolute must read!
