How I Made My First Million
Summary
Who doesn't want to be a millionaire? Well, if you have ever wanted to join the growing ranks of British millionaires, then this is the audiobook for you. Here, 16 self-made multimillionaires come clean about how they became filthy rich. There's Andrew Reynolds, who grew up in a small caravan yet went on to make £30 million working from home. And Dominic McVey, who made a fortune importing scooters when he was just 14 and now, 10 years on, is head of a thriving cosmetics distribution company. There is no such thing as a 'typical millionaire'. Some are middle-aged, others are barely out of school; some come from nothing, others reinvent themselves after changing careers. In fact, all they have in common is ambition, motivation and the ability to think big.

He begins with an overland journey from England to Australia and back again followed by a spell as an expedition driver in the Near East; thereafter, his roaming moves on through the Soviet Union to the Far East. In-between these two eras, Miles pursues a career. but once this activity takes him overseas, he reconnects with the world at large, and the second era called "On Assignment" is underway. Although cushioned by an executive lifestyle, the real soul and spirit of a now seasoned traveller remains as he journeys into Latin America, China, and Asia from 1998 to 2006, the events of which shape the remainder of his life. A wonderful travel novel.
