My New Favourite Book!

A frank, unflinching & honest account of what it takes to build a market leading independent business from scratch. A masterclass in both sales and marketing from Neville, full of common sense, contrarian investment gems and razor sharp business acumen. A rollercoaster ride with amazing achievements and truly dark times also.

Neville is a genuine national treasure and this book is a blueprint in how to succeed, not just in business but in life.

Inspiring, Amazing Guy

Where does The Answer Is Yes rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The trouble is, I have too many favourite books! But this is certainly one of them.

What did you like best about this story?

Neville and Marilyn's story from school to "retirement" is told in gripping detail, warts 'n all. The first half of the book, while very interesting, is a little slow setting the scene for the second half of the book. The second half is just gripping. I hated having to press stop and wait for my next listening time. The sheer roller coaster of a journey that these guys went on to build their business is riveting to listen to. The red tape that they had to overcome is crazy. Their dogged determination to succeed is inspiring. True entrepreneurship. The last 30 mins or so where he describes how Morrisons got too greedy too soon and wrecked 30 years of hard work is saddening. I'm full of respect for the ethics, values and determination the Wright family possess. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing what the highs and lows of running a business is like.

What about Jay Britton’s performance did you like?

Read very well with an appreciation for what he was narrating.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The answer is yes, now what's the question?

Any additional comments?

I wish I could work with this guy!

A very inspirational autobiography,

After meeting Neville a few months ago at an evening event organised by the Chambers of Commerce, I found him a very down to earth guy, with many stories to tell on his life's journey. He told me about his book and I was intrigued.
The following week I purchased this book as an audible because I can take in while driving and working so perfect for me.

Following his life from nothing to having millions, then almost losing it all to getting even more, is amazing,

I take away from this book a need to be more driven and hardworking in my own life if I want to be successful.
A very customer focused hard working guy with down to earth strong morals, I loved it.

Utterly inspiring because it is so relatable

So inspiring as the story is so relatable to my life. Although I'm on a different part of my journey to NW, his simple and plain story telling make this book very easy to follow and very gripping. The anxiety I felt as he described his journey through the recent recession meant I couldn't stop listening.

Thoroughly recommend if you are looking for a business book that is relatable and practical.

Inspirational

From start to finish it's an amazing story. For me the best bits were about the small decisions that lead to massive changes and equally, the big changes that needed to be made

Heartfelt and genuine old skool morals.

I'm part of the Progressive Property community and I was told about the book by a friend (Gaz). Really enjoyed this book and it can be considered something like a British version of "Shoe Dog". very inspiring Neville and didn't disappoint!

Educational and inspirational

Neville clearly poured his heart and soul into this book. He goes into so much detail about starting from nothing and building a very large successful business. It's like spending a weekend at his house and hearing his whole story. I really feel that he wrote this book genuinely from a desire to help his readers get the best from their own lives. Thanks Neville! If you're reading this then I fully recommend spending a credit on this right away.
