GET OUT THERE, GIVE IT 110% AND ABSOLUTELY SMASH IT!
Tom Skinner is a grafter. Born and bred in Romford, hes spent a lifetime on market stalls and has always had an eye for opportunity. Hes sold everything from laughing monkeys to luxury mattresses! Like a magician, Tom can make something out of nothing, although hes seen it all disappear just as quickly, too.
Graft is a window into the world of a professional wheeler-dealer who knows exactly what it takes to stay afloat and keep your chin up when the going gets tough.
Inside, Tom shares his story and the hilarious escapades hes found himself involved in while trying to make a quick buck. He also reveals how you, too, can make your own luck using the simple mantras he abides by and how to bounce back off the ropes when it feels like youre down and out.
From fuelling yourself with a big breakfast (preferably down Dinos Cafe) to the importance of making mistakes, Tom offers an entertaining, motivational read for anyone who wants to do bigger and better things or just wants a good laugh.
This is how to smash life the Skinner way. BOSH!
The boshfather strikes again. A funny man and a funny book. I give it 5 boshes out of 5. Bosh Rob Beckett

What a great addition to the literary canon. Tom Skinner is like the cockney Oscar Wilde. Jack Whitehall
Born in Romford, East London, Tom Skinner has worked as a market trader since the age of 16. He first came to public attention as a star of Series 15 of The Apprentice. He later went on to appear on Celebrity MasterChef but has more recently caused a stir as one of the fastest-growing influencers in the UK. Famed for his unusual breakfasts at Dino's Cafe in the East End and his 'BOSH!' catchphrase, Tom has won an army of fans for the motivational, no-nonsense advice he shares online. An avid West Ham fan, Tom is married to Sinead and is a proud father.
