Surviving and Winning in South African Business
A practical operating guide for owners who refuse to be crushed by chaos. Seventeen chapters, real South African case studies, and a 30-day reset plan you can start using today.
This is the framework behind every engagement on this site.
Written for people trading in South African conditions: late payers, load shedding, labour law that punishes the unprepared, compliance requirements that decide who gets the contract, and an economy that does not forgive sloppy cash management.
- The 90-Day Cashflow Shield, and why three months of reserves changes every decision you make
- Risk-weighted pricing so growth actually produces profit instead of eroding it
- Labour, probation and discipline handled correctly, with the legal traps named plainly
- Fleet, fuel and asset leakage, with a real R252,000-a-year example
- B-BBEE as a commercial tool, and the fronting risks in "transformation fund" schemes
- The 30-Day Business Reset Plan, week by week
