This month we will be hearing from Sandra James, founder and chief executive officer of Private Eyes

From farm girl to CEO, Sandra James' inspiring journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, sobriety, and unwavering determination. In "Don't Tell Me I Can't," James candidly shares her remarkable story of overcoming addiction, building multimillion-dollar businesses, and finding true love and partnership.

With raw honesty, James recounts her struggles growing up on a farm, battling substance abuse, and navigating tumultuous relationships. Her turning point comes when she founds Private Eyes, propelling her into the world of background checks and corporate success. But it's not all smooth sailing – James faces near bankruptcy, divorce, and the constant challenge of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship.

Through it all, James' resilience shines through. Her story is peppered with moments of humor, heartbreak, and hard-won wisdom.

Using a unique approach to background checks that emphasized accuracy, speed and affordability, James grew the company quickly, securing world renowned clients such as Coca Cola Enterprises, PNC Bank and Lifebridge Health. An entrepreneur at heart, James expanded her security expertise to offer income verification services to banks and financial institutions. The company she formed, 4506-Transcripts.com, quickly verifies income for borrowers through the Internal Revenue Service.
