The Waterhole Millionaire book is a tool for financial transformation and not a book of steps on getting rich quickly. In it the author pays attention to two primary agents of financial independence; the thinking behind mediocrity, and the methods behind prosperity.

Written in the form of a short, practical and easy to read allegory, The Waterhole Millionaire narrates real life events that reveal ten core principle lessons, which can be followed by any person, regardless of their circumstances, or income level, to produce extraordinary financial results for themselves and for people around them. The author's primary goal is to reach people in a way they can relate to. Instead of writing the book with a collection of steps to achieve financial freedom, and success, S. Gabriel Shumba uses a captivating story as the base, and a series of metaphors to show how an ordinary villager profoundly changes wealth, his life and his village for better. Using lessons embedded in The Waterhole Millionaire, anybody can transform their own life, business or community.

Unlike many story books, The Waterhole Millionaire is a result of the author's experience in working with multi-millionaires and Billionaires, noting how they go about building wealth and a legacy that transcends generations. It is also based on the author's deep research on the subject of financial independence as a tool for impact while talking to hedge fund investors, behavioral scientists, corporate and community leaders - studying different models on community impact, personal wealth, and motivation theories. The Waterhole Millionaire makes a great read for all ages, including those working 9 to 5 jobs, students in school or university, entrepreneurs, and anyone who is looking for a better and successful life.
