Get Moving to Greatness

Get Moving to Greatness

By Barry Mitchell
Foreword by Rishi Magecha

Starting a business is exciting—but the reality is often far tougher than most people expect. Get Moving to Greatness is a powerful and honest look at the journey of entrepreneurship, leadership, and building a successful business when everything seems to be working against you.

Drawing on more than 30 years of real-world business experience, Barry Mitchell shares a compelling story inspired by the challenges and breakthroughs of entrepreneurs across Africa. Through the journey of two business owners and their team, readers experience the struggles of misalignment, chaos, and uncertainty—and the transformation that occurs when the right principles, structure, and leadership are applied.

This book blends storytelling, practical insights, and proven business frameworks to help leaders move from feeling stuck to creating clarity, momentum, and sustainable growth. It introduces the Greatness Operating Model, a strategic framework that combines effective systems for vision, execution, culture, and team alignment to build strong, scalable businesses.

If you feel like your business is “rowing through peanut butter”—slow, frustrating, and stuck—this book will inspire you with the tools, mindset, and strategies needed to uncover the greatness within your business and yourself.
