He was a millionaire businessman long before he ever wrote his book, The Purposeful Millionaire, and even before he got paid to do any Keynote speeches. At the age of 26 he was a young, first generation millennial success story. He even walked away from a 6-figure law practice as a corporate attorney to start his own business.At the time, little did he know that the launch of his executive consulting firm, called Excel Global Partners, would coincide with one of the worst economic downturns in generations, which was The Great Recession. Throughout the formative years of his business, James became tougher, wiser, and stronger, growing the company to become a great success. That's in spite of those daunting odds. James shares the story of overcoming these odds in his book.
