Pearls of Wisdom by Miles

When I started my business, there was no literature on South Africans staring businesses, except by those people who were already a success. That is why I wrote my book. I don’t have the secret of success, but I do have miniature recipes that have worked for me, based on what I’ve experienced day after day as an entrepreneur.
t2
If you hire the right people with an entrepreneurial mind-set you can build new business models within your company, rather than have disgruntled employees leave and start a business in competition to your own.
t3
Dreaming is one thing, execution is another.
t4
Start by Starting.
t5
We have a responsibility in South Africa to think differently. Every business in the world was started by an entrepreneur; but statistically speaking you’re more likely to succeed within a business than outside one. Build a culture within your business so people can be intrapreneurs.
t6
It is okay to build a new business on the back of a legacy business – but will it look like lipstick on a bulldog or a new puppy?
t7
I like to talk about my entrepreneurial journey and how experiences can be utilised within businesses to keep entrepreneurs like me inside their business, creating new products.
t8
My story is an authentically South African success story, with a touch of the audacity of hope. It’s a rags-to-riches story that will resonate with those who want to build something from scratch.
t9
I want people to start thinking differently – that maybe it’s not about the state of the country or my circumstances that are holding me back; I need to be active, doing stuff, taking control.
t10
I don’t have the answers but every day I’m trying to figure it out. Sometimes it’s hard and it sucks; sometimes there are some great positives. It doesn’t matter where you’re from – do your part and believe it’s going to work, no matter what. Some days are harder than others, but you should always go back out there.
t11
A lot of companies are more focused on wealth preservation than wealth generation. If you want to make more money, train your executives to think out of the box.
