At 30, Duncan Bannatyne had no money and was enjoying life on the beaches of Jersey. He saw a story of someone who had made himself a millionaire, and decided to do the same. Five years later he had done it, and now he is worth 168 million. In this remarkable book, Bannatyne relives his colourful path to riches, from ice cream salesman to multi-millionaire, explaining how anyone could take the same route as he did - if they really want to. Hugely articulate, and with numerous fascinating and revealing stories to tell, this is an autobiography and a business book unlike any other - but then Bannatyne isn't like any other businessman, either.

Told with refreshing candour this is a true rags to riches story. Bannatyne makes it sound so easy to become a multi-millionaire; saying it basically boils down to hard work, confidence and absolute belief in what you are doing and spotting the right opportunity. His attitude of "if they can do it, then why can't I?" really makes one believe anything is possible. A really inspirational and interesting book.
