It’s midwinter in the 1960s. The sky is grey, the air bitingly cold. A lone boy chops wood in the back yard of his parents’ council house in North Somerset. They work their fingers to the bone, knowing their place at the bottom of the social ladder, terrified one false move will lose them the little they have.

This was the moment my life changed forever. At the tender age of eleven, I made a decision which was to impact my entire world from then on: I was not going to live my life this way.

My first book tells my story, from the high-speed thrills of motor sport to the gradual building of a property portfolio. I’ve shared my successes, the hard times and the out-and-out disasters. I started with nothing and went on to place myself within the top 1% of the UK’s wealthiest households. And in what I hope will be an inspirational book for many, my aim is to show you how similar success could be yours.

Life’s ultimate dilemma: will you live for the moment or plan for tomorrow? Whatever you choose, this is the story of an ordinary man who has lived an extraordinary life. And it’s guaranteed to inform and entertain you.
