Inspirational
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.

Entertaining and Revealing
Duncan Bannatyne's book is fascinating and entertaining. The title is extremely apt, summing up the author's view that he hasn't relied on an unusual specialism or skill to achieve his success. However, Bannatyne's self-confidence in his judgment and ability to make decisions, whilst not inaccessible to most people, are perhaps far rarer than he believes.
That said, the accounts of his experiences are inspirational, and abound with lessons for us all.
His comments on the mentality of public listed companies make for fascinating reading.
An enjoyable, informative and inspirational book.
