The Best Dick: A Candid Account of Building a $1m Business

by Mike Sharman

Mike Sharman invites you to share in the hustle, in this business book The Best Dick. From the enthusiastic, entrepreneurial beginnings of a bootstrapped startup founder - a relatively inexperienced 26 year old - to a seasoned, professional, storyteller, who has built a boutique social media advertising agency that has made more brands go viral, globally, than any other studio in Africa. Mike seamlessly and hypnotically entwines business insights and universal premises of first hires, cash flow challenges, brand building, networking and pitches, with his humorous storyselling approach to deliver a page-turner complete with armed robberies, fancy-dress competitions and partnering with some of the planet's most coveted brands. The Best Dick is the catalyst you've been waiting for, your entire life, to encourage your emancipation from the payroll hamster wheel, in order to just start your own business. And, for the existing entrepreneur to find solace in the fact that founding your own company is the best, damn decision you ever made. Life is short. Play naked!

This is a fantastic book. The only criticism I have is the fact that Sharman ALWAYS uses the Shrek skit as a "bad example" of how he did comedy, and he did so yet again. Come on dude! I'll probably read it again.

What a fantastic read. It’s down to earth honest transparent as Mike shares his entrepreneurial journey and lessons learnt. I would say a must read for entrepreneurs.
