Which UK Dragons' Den investor wrote the business book Anyone Can Do It?

The story behind the answer

Duncan Bannatyne wrote the business book Anyone Can Do It.

The book is associated with Bannatyne's autobiographical account of entrepreneurship and explains how he built businesses after leaving school and working in a variety of jobs. It presents his career as an example of business development rather than as a conventional academic route into management.

Bannatyne became widely known through Dragons' Den, where his background in leisure, care homes and hotels shaped the kinds of pitches he considered. His television fame helped make the book accessible to a general audience interested in entrepreneurship.

The title is sometimes confused with generic motivational books because its wording sounds like a slogan. In this case it is the specific title of Bannatyne's business autobiography. It should not be attributed to Peter Jones or Theo Paphitis, who also wrote about business and investment.
