This book, reprinted almost every year since its first publication, was inspired by the authors desire to see a positive shift in the fortunes of employees in Africa. Too many employees get trapped in consumerism, live from hand to mouth and routinely retire from many years of employment without any savings. In a cleverly told story about Ali, into which the author weaves his own employment experience, the book urges employees to set specific wealth creating and personal development goals for every job they get.

The book teaches the importance of setting goals, enterprise, maturity, managing money, career planning and of course the unforgettable principles of the value of, “a house, a spouse and a cow”. The book elicits a powerful “eureka” experience and inspires a positive mental attitude toward the gift of a job. It empowers both new and experienced employees to prosper on the job. The book is now available as a downloadable digital reader, How to Prosper, with new group study material, mentoring and savings features.
