Power Through: Going to Prison Changed One Man's Life. It Helped Him Become a Multi-millionaire - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Going to prison changed one man's life. It helped him become a multi-millionaire James Longley grew up in a working-class family in the East Midlands. He dreamed of becoming a professional footballer and had trials with Leicester City and Scunthorpe United, but an injury put an end to that. He drifted from job to job, then joined the RAF. After a night's drinking in 2002, he got into an argument with a taxi driver and ended up hitting him. He was convicted of a racist assault and given an eight-month prison sentence. Upon his release, he borrowed some money and set up a taxi company. A customer he picked up one evening persuaded James to join him in an energy-switching business he had just started. The business grew quickly and within ten years employed seventy people. James eventually bought his benefactor out and in 2018 sold the business for GBP15 million. He has now set up a charity to help prisoners and ex-prisoners learn entrepreneurship skills and to break the cycle of reoffending. His inspiring story shows that if you hit rock bottom in life, it's not the end of everything. You can still achieve success...and then pay it forward.

Paperback. Etat : New. 'Inspiring and courageous' Tim Samuels After a heavy night's drinking in 2002, James Longley - an RAF aircraftsman from the East Midlands - got into an altercation with a taxi driver which turned nasty. He ended up in prison, serving an eight-month sentence. It felt like he had wrecked his own life. In fact, the experience would be the making of him. Upon his release, determined to pull himself together and start afresh, he borrowed some money to set up a small business. A chance meeting then led to a new venture, pioneering the practice of switching energy suppliers to get cheaper bills. Within ten years he employed seventy people and in 2018 he sold the business for an eight-figure sum. James has now embarked on a mission to help prisoners past and present learn entrepreneurship skills and break the cycle of reoffending. Telling his own story is part of that quest, showing by example that if you hit rock bottom, you can still achieve success - and pay it forward. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781785633560
