Synopsis

Risk and Return is the story of one man’s return to Africa—a journey that begins with a search for self-fulfillment, which then evolves into an entrepreneurial adventure filled with tribulations, triumphs and many life lessons that will keep readers engaged from start to finish.

In a casual conversational voice, the author–Yomi Jemibewon, gives an honest, often hilarious and sometimes sobering account of what it feels like to chase a dream under highly uncertain circumstances. His anecdotes and reflections about navigating an unfamiliar, sometimes unforgiving, African business environment — as an idealistic returnee, an eager entrepreneur, or a young family man — will help readers navigate the challenging and sometimes terrifying times that a person experiences when embarking on a big life change.

For those readers with a special passion for Africa, his story just might inspire action to join the wave of people collaborating to galvanize positive change in Africa.

Well written, the author reveals how he navigated decisions bordering on choices to excel in a land with ceilings and limits for "outsiders" or to come to the place called home and build from scratch an entity that would enable him & his loved ones live freely & without prejudice. He documents key bu......more

I’m not one for lengthy reviews so I’ll try to keep this short. Two things I love about this book: 1. It’s not filled with unnecessary information or over-flogged ideas, very succinct and straight to the point. 2. The author has actually done ALL of the things he’s laid down and it’s not filled with......more
