5.0 out of 5 stars Really thought inspiring, May 16, 2010
This review is from: Anyone Can Do It: My Story (Paperback)
What I really liked about this book, amongst all the good tidbits of business experience and an inspiring life story, is the fact it makes plausible that anyone can achieve success if they work at it, regardless of their age. The book inspires and teaches from the experiences of a successful entrepreneur who is clearly not afraid to be open and honest about his life, his shortcomings and how he used them to achieve great success.

There is one other point for which I think the book deserves more than just 5 stars. It reveals to the world the really sad and hidden plight of children in Romania. His account of how children's arms and legs are tied to corners of their cots for the rest of their lives, some gone insane, others so lost in hope they fear a hug, lives spent in sub-human conditions etc. can only bring tears and shock to any parent and right minded person. As detailed, these atrocities were a direct consequence of Romania's earlier rulers, but which persist today hidden from the well rehearsed visits to these institutions by foreigners. And it shows a need for a thousand Duncan Bannatynes making a direct change to these children's lives, getting them out of such subhuman conditions to a real child's life.

For writing this for the world to read and know, I think the book and the author deserve more than 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Basic, Common Sense Way to Make Money, January 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anyone Can Do It: My Story (Paperback)
I was surprised by Duncan's great ability to tell a story. His story is simple enough that you put down the book (in my case the Kindle) and you feel a bit better, braver and can think clearer.

What I liked about his story is that he wasn't a young, overachieving A-type. He started in his 30s but he made the right moves. It starts with knowing your numbers and knowing what you're doing.

Highly recommended for entrepreneurs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenominal Book, could not put it down!, May 4, 2010
This review is from: Anyone Can Do It: My Story (Paperback)
"Anyone Can Do It" is an absolute great read for any aspiring entrepreneur and businessperson.

You will be inspired by what Duncan accomplished without any "inside information" (he does admit to reading the newspaper as his secret weapon!), how he went from an Ice Cream truck and having to sell his house (!) to finish the Nursing home, to how he built his empire.

As an Inc. Magazine Award Winning Entrepreneur and Marketing Mentor myself, I have read many a book about business and mindset; this book takes the cake for a good, entertaining read, that will keep you from closing the book until the last page.
