About the Book

From the African bush to the streets of London, from the souks of Tangiers and the concrete jungle of Hong Kong to the bling of Dubai and back to mother Africa; this is a riveting true story of what happens when an Entrepreneur tries, tries and tries and fails more times than he succeeds. A soul searching narrative full of highs and lows culminating in the creation of a Pan African consumer brand that eventually gets sold. This is not a rags to riches story. Alpesh is living proof that in life we lose more times than we win. He talks about the dark side of Entrepreneurship and the challenges of maintaining the Human spirit to keep going no matter what. His journey confirms to us that our lives only really begin once we step outside of our comfort zone.
