Hitting rock bottom can be the ultimate blessing in disguise
Our May title, Power Through, is the memoir of an ordinary man from the East Midlands who thought he had wrecked his life when he was sent to prison. The experience turned out to be the making of him: it helped him become a multi-millionaire.
James Longley was an RAF aircraftsman when, after a heavy night’s drinking in 2002, he got into an altercation with a taxi driver which turned nasty. He was sentenced to eight months in jail.
Upon his release, he resolved to pull himself together. He borrowed money to set up a taxi firm. 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 now coaches CEOs, but he has written Power Through to give hope to prisoners and ex-offenders. It’s an inspirational tale of someone born without any kind of silver spoon who made poor choices when he was young but then turned his life around with a combination of sharp wits and determination.
