How to Make Something From Nothing
What to expect
It's midwinter in 1968. As an eleven-year-old child, chopping wood in the back yard of his parents' council house, John Moon made a decision which impacted his world forever: he was not going to live his life this way.
In this delightful book, John tells his story, from the high-speed thrills of motor sport to the gradual building of his property portfolio. With candour, humour and sometimes brutal honesty, he shares the successes, the hard times and the out-and-out disasters. There was no rich relative waiting in the wings to bail him out, no influential contact offering him a lucrative career straight out of school, no university education. John started with nothing and went on to place himself within the top 1% of the UK's wealthiest households. And the golden nuggets of advice throughout his book will 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, How To Make Something From Nothing – the story of an ordinary man who has lived an extraordinary life – is guaranteed to inform and entertain you.
