Introducing the
P13 MBA
Your Blueprint for Predictable Growth Powered by the P13 Growth System
The P13 MBA isn’t just another online course; it’s a complete business transformation programme. It’s your blueprint for predictable growth, powered by the P13 Growth System.
Developed over 30+ years of working with South African and international businesses, the P13 MBA provides a step-by-step blueprint – the P13 Growth System – plus the practical tools, including optimised mini-websites (landing pages) and cutting-edge AI, to make it happen. This powerful system is exclusively available as part of the P13 MBA Programme.
Most marketing courses leave you with a pile of notes and a feeling of overwhelm. The P13 MBA is different. We’re obsessed with results, and that means focusing on the three things that actually make a difference: Implementation, Motivation, and Accountability. We don’t just give you the information; we provide the structure, the support, and the push you need to finally see real, measurable growth.
How the P13 Growth System Transforms Your Business
1. Philosophy (Attitude & Mindset)
We’ll help you shift your mindset from reactive to proactive. You’ll learn how to overcome imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs, embrace a growth-mindset, and develop the unshakable confidence you need to succeed, even when facing challenges like load shedding and economic uncertainty.
2. Profile (Your Brand & Authority)
3. Purpose (Your Business Vision)
4. Proposition (Your Irresistible Offer)
Learn how to craft a Value Proposition that attracts your ideal clients and converts them into paying customers. You’ll master the art of communicating your unique value and making your offer irresistible by answering the one question every prospect asks: “Why must I buy from you, rather than your competitors?“
5. Product (Your Packaging & Presentation)
6. Problem (Your Prospect's Pain Points)
7. Prospect (Your Ideal Client)
8. Pricing (Your Profit Strategy)
9. Platform (Your Marketing Channels)
10. Promotion (Your Compelling Message)

Jamal Ismail, Medrisk
“Meet Leon Lategan, the true founder of Medrisk…
“About eight years ago, I was working as a general insurance broker, offering everything from life cover and medical aids to short-term insurance. It was a challenging period, filled with uncertainty and a lack of direction.
“Then, I met Leon Lategan – Coach and Creator of Entrepreneurs, who would transform my business and my life. During a marketing course with Leon, he gave me a piece of advice that changed everything: stop being a jack of all trades and specialize in one area.
“Changing my LinkedIn profile to reflect my new focus on medical malpractice insurance felt awkward and uncomfortable at first. Despite my newfound passion, I wasn’t entirely at ease with this shift. But Leon’s push in the right direction was exactly what I needed.
“Today, I’m proud to say that I am the CEO and founder of Medrisk, one of the leading medical malpractice insurance brokers in the country. The transition from a generalist to a specialist has been incredibly rewarding. I now deeply understand my audience and their unique challenges.
“I remember those dreaded days when I reluctantly gave advice on retirement annuities just to make ends meet, even though I absolutely hated it. Now, I’m doing what I love, specializing in an area that excites me every day.
“A lot of credit goes to Leon for guiding me towards specialization. His wisdom set me on a path to success, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
“To anyone feeling stuck or unsure about their career path: take the leap and follow your passion. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but it could lead you to a place you never imagined possible. Keep pushing forward, and trust in the journey.”

From R4,000 a Month to R100,000 a Month: A Painter's Transformation
“Before I meet with Leon, I was a poor person struggling to get work & I was earning not more than R4 000 per month and it was very difficult for me to put proper food on the table but now there is a big change in my life. Since he started to help me with my business I manage to buy 2 expensive vehicles and work is not a problem anymore. I have made about R100 000 per month for the last 3 months. I don’t even know how can I thank him he is such a good person with a good heart.”
