Duane Jackson grew up in children's homes in the the East End of London, was kicked out of two schools and left the education system with no qualifications. After being arrested in the US in possession of 6,500 ecstasy tablets he served time in prison on both sides of the Atlantic.
On his release he started a business with the help of the Prince's Trust. A business that he grew and sold four thousand days after his release from prison, making him a millionaire many times over
Read his entertaining and inspiring story and realise that, no matter what your background, you too can chart your own course from adversity to success.
I read a lot of books and this is one of my current favourites - the story is so real, raw and compelling that I finished it pretty quickly (I simply couldn't put it down). A truly inspirational tale of how tech, courage, and support from the most unlikely of places can completely turn someone's life around.
