Born in the UK, Vince Stanzione started his first software business at just 11 years old. By the age of 16 he had secured himself a job in the FX trading room of NatWest Bank, despite leaving school with very few formal qualifications to his name. He lost all his savings and his job in the 1987 stock market crash, so set up his own car phone company in 1989, which he then sold for more than £1.3 million just two years later. Since then Vince has built up his considerable fortune through financial spread betting, started and floated TV Commerce Holdings PLC and pioneered television formats using premium rate telephone numbers like The Advert Channel and Your Destiny TV. As well as his own investing, Vince Stanzione continues to teach and mentor a small group of private individuals to trade, and holds a live trading days and conferences in London together with friends like commodities gurus Jim Rogers and Marc Faber, best-selling author Paul McKenna and Professor Richard Wiseman. Vince Stanzione is the author of best-selling book _How to Start Living and Stop Existing_, which was published in 1997. He also wrote the first course on financial spread betting, _Making Money from Financial Spread Trading._ His new book, _The Millionaire Dropout – Fire your boss. Do what you love. Reclaim your life!_ has just been published and has already become a New York Times best-seller, a USA Today best-seller and the fastest selling business book of 2013 so far.
