Scottish entrepreneur James Fleming has released his first book, which shares lessons in life and business success.
Leadership and Motivational Intelligence (MQ) expert James has launched his new book called, ‘You Can Have Success Or Excuses; You Cannot Have Both’, which details his career rise and how he turned redundancy into a million pound business.
Throughout the book, the North Lanarkshire businessman – co-founder and Managing Director of The Power Within Training and Development – shares his own journey and his blueprint for success in both business and life, through a series of deconstructed life lessons.
Along with his wife, Enas James has built the leadership and motivational intelligence company The Power Within into a £ 1.5 million business that delivers innovative leadership training to companies and individuals worldwide.
The book dives deep into the mindset and behaviours distinguishing high achievers from those who settle for mediocrity. Through candid stories, practical advice, and powerful insights, James challenges readers to confront the barriers holding them back and shares the tools they need to maximise their success.
At the heart of James’s success is a concept known as Motivational Intelligence (MQ), which is the third and most influential level of human Intelligence and revolves around a person’s ability to identify and manage negative thoughts and self-limiting beliefs to overcome barriers and accomplish goals.
Award-winning The Power Within Training is the only certified business in the UK & Europe that teaches Motivational Intelligence (MQ) Leadership, which James believes is the key differentiating factor between people who succeed and those who struggle or ultimately fail.
People who have high levels of Motivational Intelligence are generally more resilient, willing to embrace change, willing to learn and adapt through adversity….all key ingredients for leadership, career (and life!) success.
James Fleming said: “The book is like a manual for the life, packed with the real-life experiences, lessons, challenges, and learnings I’ve had over the years…..so it’s built entirely around first-hand life experience.
“I really believe we need to grab life and give it our all – sometimes it will go as we planned, and sometimes it won’t.
“But the only way to get close to the kind of life we want is to leave our excuses behind forever and make real progress towards our dreams.
“I’ve loved the process of writing the book – which was a brand-new experience for me and totally out of my comfort zone – and I know it will help people with their clarity, their goals and the motivation to move forward towards the kind of success they’re striving for.”
‘You Can Have Success Or Excuses; You Can Not Have Both’ includes details of the pivotal moments in James’ career, which took him from an electrical apprenticeship to senior executive roles in the oil and gas industry worldwide.
Throughout the book, there are learnings and pointers for the reader to consider, as well as sections that specifically cover key areas for success, including self-belief, goal setting, mindset and manifestation, overcoming challenges and adapting to change.
‘You Can Have Success Or Excuses; You Cannot Have Both’ is now available.
