Opening Doors - How Daring to Ask For Help Changed My Life (And Will Change Yours Too)

'Whatever ideas, plans and dreams you have, you've got to go for them! Be your biggest supporter, learn to eradicate the doubts in your mind, embrace the rejections and start opening doors...'

Reggie Nelson had a tough childhood growing up on a council estate in east London. His father suddenly died and his mother had to work multiple jobs just to get by. But when she had to collect Reggie from a cell where he, at only 12, was being held for troublemaking, he knew he needed to change.
