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 himself. 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, explaining how anyone could take the same route as he did - if they really want to. In the book, we see how he started out as an ice cream salesman, and built up that business, before moving on to other areas. 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.

Excellent reading and not too hard on the details. Honest account of his life with plenty of interesting reading. I purchased this book for my partner who couldn't put the book down so I then read it myself. Would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Format:Hardcover
The book is like many have said before almost impossible to put down. It teaches you a few lessons for business but nothing that would make you a millionaire. But still a fantastic book and it even had a few laughs along the way.

Format:Hardcover
If like me you are an avid viewer of `The Dragons Den', you will have already had a glimpse of the personality of Duncan Bannatyne. From the inability to hide a mischievous grin when faced with a weird and wonderful contestant or idea (and in some cases both!), to getting seriously involved in negotiations on an idea he thinks could work, you get a hint as to why he is successful, he enjoys what he does and he seems to enjoy life.
The book generously expands on these aspects, and works at different levels, giving you in his own words, both an insight into the man as well as how he has developed his flourishing business empire into a huge concern, with no signs yet of wanting to sitting back and rest on his laurels!
It's a great read whether you are looking for a business book with a difference or simply to know more about a man who truly believes that anyone can be as successful as he is, if they approach things with the right attitude. But be warned, once you start reading it will be difficult to stop and you'll probably end up reading the book in one sitting and on coming to the end, find that all those ideas you had of creating your own business suddenly have a new lease of life!

Interesting biography about an interesting character.
I enjoyed reading this book and it does what it says on the cover - which makes a change in my opinion. Recommend it as interesting rather than insightful

I really enjoyed this book although I can't put it into the category of 'I love it'. The author is a typical example of what can be achieved in spite of a poor beginning and... Read more
