Product Description

Review
'Part autobiography, part business polemic, it will no doubt take pride of place on any aspiring entrepreneur's coffee table.' (SHORTLIST - Summer Reading List )

'Case studies and a riveting personal history make Dragons' Den star's get-rich book an amusing and helpful read' (CITY AM )

'His new book is not an autobiography but is backed up with personal reflections that support his claim that anyone with dedication and gumption can make it.' (SUNDAY TIMES - In Gear )

'His advice is worth its weight in gold for any wannabe dragon' (NORTHERN ECHO )

Product Description
In Duncan Bannatyne's brilliant new book, he takes the reader through the simple steps he or she needs to take to set up their own business and then make a great success of their new venture. Having started on his route to a multi-million pound fortune when he bought an ice cream van for 450, he knows exactly how it can be done - and how to avoid the pitfalls along the way. In a series of clear and easy-to-follow chapters, Duncan removes the barriers to getting started as an entrepreneur, and helps to plan a way forward through those potentially difficult early days. He shows that there is no substitute for hard work, and insists that you must be completely honest with yourself about your own strengths and weaknesses if you are to succeed. He outlines the key attributes you will need and how you can develop them to achieve your dreams. Backed with fascinating examples from his own career and case studies from a wide range of other entrepreneurs, this book provides the perfect wake-up call for you to change your life for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish he'd written this 5 years ago., 3 Sep 2008
By A. C. Shaw (Lincs. UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent book by Mr B. Every word is true, no nonsense and clearly spells out the steps you need to take OR NOT when setting up a business.

Having just buried my first business I wish I had had it 5 years ago. Lessons I have learnt the hard way are spelt out here and should be heeded.

While giving every encouragement to the budding small business person, he makes no bones about the need to know your market, your figures and when to walk away.

A valuable book no small business should be without.

5.0 out of 5 stars I WOKE UP AND CHANGED MY LIFE, 1 Sep 2008
By Ms. L. Elderfield (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having already been inspired by Duncan Bannatyne's first book, I had waited with eager anticipation for the release of this, his second publication. I was not disappointed and could simply not put it down.

Written with unequivocal business insight, this unique bible offers genius and sound advice from someone who has travelled the journey from extreme poverty to multi-millionaire status.

A must read for business entrepreneurs everywhere, it is an inspiration beyond compare for all of us who want to better ourselves and emulate our nation's richest, most popular and treasured Dragon !

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring read..., 22 Aug 2008
By Mr. J. Williams - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book yesterday for my annual holiday read, though couldn't wait until I hit the beach so started to read it when I got home and couldn't put it down!
I finished the book in the early hours of this morning and felt inspired to leave a review before I jetted off for 2 weeks as I couldn't wait 2 weeks to tell my business friends how good it is!
I found the book to be an essential tool in planning, raising funds and running your own business.
This is a 'must read' from the most famous Dragon from the BBC2 program.
Enjoy!
