Ron's Story
When Ron was 20, he decided to do what he was passionate about and opened a motorcycle shop. Later on he had chain of shops all over London. But after that Ron ended up with massive financial trouble. Luckily for him, he met an old Irishman, who came along and helped him turn around his mini empire. Eventually they made a fortune. Ron enjoyed the turnaround so much that he decided to write about it. So he wrote his first book Debt Free with Financial Kung Fu in 1977. That first book had massive success and led Ron to being an author and entrepreneur. Since then he is writing business books and books about mind power.
