John's story is inspirational and shows how anyone can be successful if they put their mind to it. From a teenage apprentice washing cars for a living at 16, he turned himself into a visionary entrepreneur with a vision as big as his ambition. However, it was not easy. It was one of the most challenging journeys of his life. John had to battle against not only the scepticism of his peers, but against himself as well. He had to push through every single day and scrap for everything he ever got. But in the end, he won and became an iconic figure with a place on Forbes' list of richest people in the world - the top 1%.</div> <div class="qlbt-cell-line" data-row="row-gsdkpy" data-cell= "cell-388zdh" data-rowspan="1" data-colspan="1" data-block-id= "block-c359fe7f-7e3b-431f-8a0d-ee0c58107efe"> </div> <div class="qlbt-cell-line" data-row="row-gsdkpy" data-cell= "cell-388zdh" data-rowspan="1" data-colspan="1" data-block-id= "block-5da37253-8fcc-47ae-b5e2-dc09ad2085c8">John Caudwell is an inspiration.
