I just want to say, I finished listening to your audio book, it is absolutely fantastic. I wish it was available 20 years ago. It would have helped me even more in shaping the way I live and work.

Prior to listening to your audio book, I did not rate you particularly highly. The key reason for this was my incorrect assumption you had changed your name because you were ashamed of your identity, I did not look further than this. It goes to show, as you say in your book, ask questions!

I now admire and respect you. You have achieved so much and you are also contributing a great deal to make the world a better place. I loved listening about your journey from the East End of London to Dragons' Den, your family and the highs and lows you faced.

Congratulations on all your achievements and I wish you all the best in years to come.

James Caan is one of Britain’s most successful entrepreneurs.

Dropping out of school at just sixteen, he started his business life with no qualifications and two pieces of advice: ‘observe the masses and do the opposite’ and ‘always look for opportunities where both parties benefit’.

Armed with just these two pieces of fatherly wisdom, extraordinary charm and the Yellow pages, James Caan built a market-leading business with a turnover of more than £130 million from a broom cupboard.

The Real Deal is the incredible story of James’ remarkable life, told by the man himself in this James Caan audio book download from Silksoundbooks.

From his childhood as a Pakistani immigrant to the phenomenal success of his first company, this audio book traces James Caan’s journey to both financial and personal maturity.

It deals with his fear of realising his goals too early, and offers a frank account of what success at 30 really means.

The Real Deal brings us bang up to the present, including the truth about his role on the British TV series “Dragons' Den”, what his charity work in Kashmir means to him, and how he has come to completely re-evaluate what money is really worth.

This rag-trade to riches story is an intimate account of an exceptional journey. It is a searingly honest exploration of James’ journey to success and a source of inspiration for anyone looking to emulate his phenomenal business acumen.
