We are the drivers of economic growth and job creation, but sadly we are often the unsung heroes of the South African economy. With the lack of support for start-ups and absence of knowledge-sharing, being an entrepreneur is far from easy and what is missing is business guidance and mentorship.

Those who've been down the same path before. And that is where the value of this book, The Book Every Entrepreneur Has to Read, lies.

Don't become a statistic – start reading and make notes and lists of what you can do today, to not only negotiate the sometimes hazardous entrepreneurial journey, but excel from a great idea to a successful business.

Trois petits cochons décident de devenir indépendants, de vivre leur propre vie, et par conséquent de vivre seuls, comme des grands ! Le premier petit cochon se construit une maison faite de paille, le deuxième une maison en brindilles, et le troisième une maison en briques et en ciment. C'est alors que surgit le grand méchant loup, dévoré par l'envie de détruire les maisons des petits cochons... On ne connaît pas l'origine du conte traditionnel Les trois petits cochons, mais on peut estimer qu'il date du XVIIIème siècle environ. Ce conte est devenu célèbre dans le monde entier grâce à son adaptation au cinéma réalisée par les Studios Disney en 1933. La morale de l'histoire ? Tout simplement que construire quelque chose de solide demande certes plus d'efforts, mais permet de profiter plus durablement de ce que l'on a bâti. Cette fable, par sa portée et morale, est intemporelle et universelle. Aujourd'hui encore, nous sommes nous aussi confrontés en permanence aux mêmes choix et aux mêmes dilemmes que les 3 petits cochons :faisons nous les bons choix ? Cette fable ravira les enfants, et les plus grands qui resteront peut être un peu songeurs quand à la portée de cette réflexion.
