Heading his own professional writing and consultancy company, James Braxton Peterson has honed his skills in entrepreneurship and business management, especially in the past few years as he has experienced a greater demand for his services.
In the interview with Thrive Global, James attributed passion and effective communication as being the top two qualities of a successful leader and entrepreneur.
