Entrepreneur & Founder of 1LIFE1VAN
Hi there, I'm James, and I'm so glad you're here.
From a young age, I was taught to “work hard,” just like many of us are. Right out of school, I jumped into the flooring business, eager to learn and grow. But I’ve always had this urge to find a smarter way to do things. It wasn’t about avoiding hard work, it was more about working "smart not hard" and making life a little easier, one step at a time. And to be honest, I usually found a better way!
I'm a proud family man. I became a dad at the young age of 18 when my first daughter, Lillie, was born. She came into my life with my first love, Charlotte, who I’m proud to still call my wife today. We’ve since welcomed another beautiful daughter, Laila, into our family.
In those early days, life was tough. I worked every hour I could to provide for my family. I wanted to be a father my girls could look up to, a husband my wife could rely on. But the long hours and endless grind took their toll on me. I knew there had to be an easier way to make a living, something that offered more freedom and less stress, but I wasn’t sure where to start.
Then, one day, I stumbled across an online ad for LaunchYou, the biggest leading online education company in the world, a fantastic platform for building an online business.
I remember seeing Dan in that ad, and it’s wild to think that today, Dan and I are still great friends to this day.
That was my first step into the digital world, a world that was completely foreign to me. I knew how to fit floors, but I could barely send an invoice, let alone build a business online!
But the idea of making money from anywhere, of having the freedom to work from home or while traveling, was too exciting to ignore. I realised that life is short, and I wanted to make the most of it.
That’s when the idea for 1Life1Van was born. See my family and I love van life, so I thought, why not turn this passion into an online business? And that’s exactly what I did, starting with affiliate marketing for all things van life. My old work van is now our own campervan haha
They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life, and I’ve found that to be true.
Once I took that first step, there was no looking back. I surrounded myself with like minded people who, like me, wanted more out of life, no restrictions, no grumpy bosses, just the freedom to travel and work from anywhere.
As my businesses grew, I felt a deep passion for helping others who, like me, were stuck in the grind. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone’s face light up when they realise they, too, can change their life. Hearing “thank you, you’ve changed my life” never gets old and always makes me happy for the rest of the day
That’s why I created this website, to share all my business ventures and offer others the opportunities that have been so transformative for me. Here, you'll find options that could change your life, just as they changed mine.
So, take a look around, explore the possibilities, and remember, now it’s your time to shine.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Myself or someone from the support team will get back to you as soon as possible.
Looking forward to helping you start your journey!
Warm regards,
James
MY VISION
I’m dedicated to spreading the message far and wide, to people of all ages, that life is meant to be lived on your own terms, not just following the herd or getting caught up in the corporate rat race that we’ve been conditioned to accept from an early age.
As a proud ambassador of various online businesses, I believe in empowering you to become a creator of your own reality.
Our vision is to help you build a life by your own design, one where you find flow, purpose, and, most of all, happiness, and where earning a living is a natural result of the positive impact you have on others.
Embrace your potential, and start building a future that truly reflects who you are.
Once I've helped enough people achieve this freedom and fulfillment, my ultimate goal is to create the largest online community of like-minded individuals who support and uplift one another.
This community will be a place where everyone can share their knowledge, experiences, and success stories, helping each other overcome challenges and reach new heights.
I envision a vibrant network of people who are not only pursuing their passions but also contributing to the growth and success of others.
Together, we can build a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, create lasting change, and live a life of abundance and purpose.
MY WHY
"I like to imagine a time where every person makes a living doing something they truly love".
MY MISSION
My mission is to guide individuals toward a life filled with freedom, passion, and fulfillment by helping them step away from the confines of traditional career paths.
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to create a life that aligns with their unique values and aspirations, free from the pressure of conforming to societal expectations.
By leveraging the power of online business and a supportive community, I am committed to helping others discover their strengths, unleash their creativity, and turn their passions into thriving ventures.
My goal is to inspire you to live boldly, embrace new opportunities, and make a meaningful impact on your own terms.
