90 Rules for Entrepreneurs: The Codex of Hustle
Author: Marnus Broodryk
Format: Softcover
This is the codex of hustle. A book of the lessons that I wish someone had shared with me earlier. Lessons that will help you push harder, keep leaner and leapfrog the successes of ‘those successful guys’. – MARNUS BROODRYK Oh, look… Another one of those books about ‘rules’. Joy. Except that this one may be the defining factor that separates your dream from the reality it could be. Many of us have succeeded at being an entrepreneur. Many, many more have failed.
Which side of that would you rather be on? Sure, entrepreneurship is often about breaking the rules. But there are also a number of them that you should follow if you want to survive long enough to see what happens when you do. A business should be more than just a venture – it should be an adventure! The difference between a successful journey, and a wasted one, is knowing when to do what. That is what this book is about. Not science, but experience. The rules of hustle.
Marnus Broodryk is an entrepreneur, self-made millionaire, one of the country’s most celebrated advocates for small business, and the youngest Shark on M-Net’s Shark Tank South Africa. He has 90 things you need to hear… While every entrepreneurial journey will be different, the lesson’s remarkably similar.
What should I avoid in a partner? What’s stopping me from achieving scale? When should I look for financing (if at all) and how do I approach it? How can I structure my evening to maximise my mornings? What should I do at the different phases of business? Based on Marnus’ real business experiences, together with chapters from friends and fellow entrepreneurs (all of whom have ‘been there, smashed that and bought the company that made the T-shirts’ – guys like Ryk Neethling, Vinny Lingham, John Sanei and Gil Oved), 90 Rules for Entrepreneurs is your guide to avoiding the pitfalls, as well as seizing the opportunities, your handbook to being an entrepreneur, a millionaire and of course, happy!
About the Author
Marnus Broodryk was born and bred in the small town of Harrismith in the Free State, South Africa. With parents who couldn’t afford his school fees and being raised by a single mom, his ‘rags to riches’ success story reads like a movie script. He started washing cars and cutting grass to pay for his own school fees and later worked eighteen hour days to get through articles and part-time tertiary education. Fast forward 10 years and he is the CEO of The Beancounter, an accounting firm that uses the best cloud technology which enables business owners to better understand their businesses. In eight years The Beancounter became one of the most sought after accounting firms in the country and a majority share was acquired by the JSE-listed company, Transaction Capital, in 2016. Marnus is also a familiar face on TV. In 2016, he was asked to participate in M-Net’s reality series Shark Tank South Africa and he also hosts a weekly insert on KykNET’s Winslyn, where he shares advice and tips with aspiring and established entrepreneurs on how to start, manage and grow a business. 90 Rules for Entrepreneurs is Marnus’ first book.
