by Michelle Dewberry (Author)
When Michelle Dewberry entered for The Apprentice, she was already earning a six-figure salary. However, she seized the chance to learn from one of Britain's most successful and charismatic businessmen, Sir Alan Sugar. The series earned huge ratings, but what few viewers understood was the struggles Michelle had undergone to get that far. Breaking free from a violent and abusive father, she had led her family to safety, while trying to come to terms with her grief at her sister's death. She suffered from bulimia and depression, but defeated her own personal demons to establish herself as a businesswoman with a refreshingly positive outlook. Catapulted into the public eye, Michelle had to overcome more private grief when she miscarried her baby. Yet despite all these difficulties she remains defiantly optimistic. This book will give inspiration to all who read it. Michelle Dewberry could have seen herself as a victim, but she prefers to live life by the maxim 'If you believe in yourself, anything is possible' and knows that only she is responsible for achieving her ultimate goals. Her book reveals the painful and harrowing difficulties she had to face, and provides a clear insight into how she has succeeded, not just in winning the intense competition of The Apprentice but in so many other aspects of her life. Her message will resonate to all those who hope for a better life.
