Synopsis & Historical Value

Dink soos 'n miljardêr (Think Like a Billionaire), subtitled Geheime van 'n suksesvolle Suid-Afrikaanse entrepreneur, was published by Tafelberg in Cape Town in 2021. It is a business and self-help title built on the argument that wealth is within reach of ordinary people who adopt the mindset of the very rich.

Strauss shares his thinking on gaining access to capital, finding the right people and freeing oneself from self-imposed limits. It is written in direct, accessible Afrikaans for the general reader rather than the academic.

The book was a notable commercial success on release. According to Nielsen BookScan SA it was the number one Afrikaans seller for three weeks in early 2021, and it was the author's debut. A collectible copy for those who follow contemporary Afrikaans non-fiction and South African business writing.
