What if the key to success wasn't where you start-but how far you're willing to go?

Theo Paphitis started his working life as a 16-year-old filing clerk who struggled with dyslexia and had no special connections or fancy degrees. Today, he's a self-made multi-millionaire, the man behind powerhouse retail brands like Ryman, Boux Avenue, and Robert Dyas, and one of the most iconic investors on Dragons' Den. So how did he do it?

This book takes you deep into the raw, real, and remarkable journey of Theo Paphitis-from humble beginnings to building a retail empire. More than just a business success story, it's a front-row seat into the mind of a visionary leader who never gave up, always stayed true to himself, and kept building even when the odds were stacked against him.
