I am a businessman, entrepreneur, investor, motivational speaker, consultant, artist and son of Susan and Tim White and brother of Jeff White. I am based out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada and have remote offices all over the world. Now 24, I started my first business at age 12 with the purchase of a $20 snow shovel, the money was earned by babysitting.
That snow shovel soon turned into hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment, over 300 workers and J & W Lawn Care & Snow Removal turned into one of the largest landscaping businesses in Alberta.
By age 16, I was a millionaire. Despite my success, I still thirsted for more success and sold J & W to focus on new and different ventures. My interests in companies are diverse but they all have one thing in common: they are successful. I have been involved in companies spanning from long haul trucking, to marketing and finance. At age 22 I was primed to become one of the most successful young entrepreneurs on the planet but nearly lost it all thanks to a crooked CFO, who stole close to $1 Million dollars from my clients trust accounts, resulting in a documented $2.8 Million dollar loss for me as I had to pay it back.
2008 was tough for me, just as it was tough for all of us. Beyond the financial crisis that struck the world in October 2008 I had to deal with the betrayal of my CFO, bad business dealings with a former colleague and in July of 2008 at age 23, I suffered a heart attack in Beaumont, Texas while promoting my book and meeting with investors. I am sharing this story with you in my upcoming autobiography, Born to Be Business $avvy: 31 Essential Tips from the Kid Millionaire on a Personal Journey published by Morgan James Publishing and distributed by Ingram Books.
Most say I am prominent consultant and motivational speaker. I’m excited to be expanding my upcoming speaking tour to include Canada as well. In 2010 James Timothy White Electrify and Energize Your Small Business Tour. I will be sharing the secrets of my success. All attendees at my events will receive a $5,000 MLOC Marketing Line of Credit courtesy of Texcan Capital Inc.
Everyone asks me, what makes you tick? My response is… I continue to wake up every day and perform the daily grind and deal with issues; it’s a challenge. I want to help people. It’s a challenge to close the deal, it’s a challenge to find good people and it is a challenge dealing with the everyday business of contracts, meetings, agreeing, disagreeing – it’s all a challenge. But what I love, is the challenge of showing people that they too, can rise up to any obstacle in their life and do things they never believed they could. We, as people, love a challenge. My challenge is to do more. To help you achieve everything you feel possible, from raising cash to personal development. This is about you, not me.
