about dancing with the bear
One prospective buyer showed interest in a bullet-proof car. "Is this car bullet-proof?" he asked. He was told that it was, whereupon he pulled out an automatic pistol and sprayed the side of the vehicle liberally with bullets. "It is bullet-proof!" he declared. "I'll take two of them, but not this one as it is damaged."
Dancing With The Bear is an insightful, yet humorous, autobiographical account of how one of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs tore up both the rule book and The Iron Curtain, and made $200 million in post-Soviet Russia - successfully navigating his way around gun-toting 'protection' groups, obstructive officials, greedy oligarchs, and
modern-day Sirens.
Throughout, adventurer-entrepreneur Roger Shashoua provides street-smart advice on how a new generation might succeed in overcoming the daunting obstacles that he encountered, and make mega-millions in the regions of Russia, China and India.
Dancing With The Bear outlines how those with an entrepreneurial spirit, prepared to spend up to two years in a new country, can expect $50 million - $500 million as a modest return. Ideal for business professionals, or those with an adventurous spirit, Dancing With The Bear provides revealing insight into the mind of a serial entrepreneur during a unique period of world history... when the 'free market' began its dance with the Russian bear.
