Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good man and a good story., 19 April 2007
By A. I. McCulloch (Co Durham) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I met Duncan and his children some years ago and have followed his career with interest - at that time he was fairly well established in the care homes sector, and already a wealthy man. It wasn't that that impressed me though, it was the dedication to his children which shone out. He is a 100% family man, and though his TV persona tries to hide it at times, a really decent guy.

Anyone Can Do It is an enormously readable book - not a punch is pulled by Duncan, notably in his retelling of his Navy career, and several heartstrings are tugged en route. Duncan is a hard -headed businessman, sure, and nobody's fool, but he is also a man of great compassion and this shines out in the book.

Here is the proof that nice guys do finish first. Sometimes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A valuable insight into the mind of an entrepreneur, 6 Feb 2007
By Robin Armstrong "madaboutwatches" (Waterlooville, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Duncan Bannatyne's autobiography takes you through a fascinating journey from his formative years in Clydebank, his days in the Navy to his current TV successes with Dragon's Den. Its written simply without any sense of pretention. From early on you start to sense that Duncan takes no prisoners in business but yet is wholly ethical and caring in the way he runs his companies. There's no magic formula for success in the book but what it does teach you is that to make serious money you need to invest again what you make from your first venture and keep doing so until the end result is a string of business all providing healthy returns against capital. It's not all success though, there's plenty of failure there too, not least of which is his turbulent personal life and failed deals that fell foul of Duncan's obvious principles.

Overall it's a great read and thoroughly entertaining. It gives you a real understanding of what it takes to be entrepreneur, and its not so much having great ideas, far more about getting out there and making things happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Inspirational - You will not want to put it down!, 23 Nov 2006
By Mr. Craig Parks - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book arrived on the Wednesday Afternoon and I had finished it by early evening Thursday. You will just not want to put it down!!

Bannatyne is clearly a man driven by a desire to succeed, both personally and professionally. Not afraid to work hard to acheive his goals, with a keen eye for talented staff and a business mentality built on morals and common sense and a need to make a small difference to the world around him.

The book also illustrates a more sensitive side to Bannatyne and his work with Unicef. A great read for any wanting to learn about self made millionaires or simply wants understand the man himself.
