About this listen

Not so long ago, I had £7.60 in my bank account and was struggling to feed my children.

Aged 39, I was bankrupt. The taxman had taken my house, my car, and my self-respect. In a matter of months, I had seen my life collapse. I went from owning a successful business and a football club, to claiming benefits to try and put food on the table.

In 2012, I started a new business in my garden shed. Just eight years later, it was about to be sold for tens of millions of pounds. My journey is the tale of a working class, East End lad done good, who lost it all, and hit rock bottom hard, but who managed to battle back.

This book highlights the lessons in life which helped me to recover and some of the principles I believe you need to follow to find happiness - not just in your bank balance, but in life itself.

As for that multi-million pound deal? There was a slight hiccup. People in China started coughing.
