About the Author

Ann Morgan James is a two time award winning marketer (Marketer of the Year and STAR Marketer of the Year), an author, speaker and Jack's mom. In the third grade, Ann's son Jack was dealt a devastating blow. He was bullied in school to the point of physical violence. His self-esteem was virtually non-existent. Ann knew she had to do something to help him.
As a marketing professional for more than 25 years Ann turned her talents for selling other people's products to her son. She began selling her son bully proof self-esteem. She decided to help him start a business and through those efforts she rebuilt his confidence and self-worth.
Ann was amazed with the results. She realized she was teaching Jack the same millionaire mindsets her parents had taught her Outlook, Attitude, Skills and Action. To help Jack, she defined six millionaire skills she needed to teach him: "Dream It", "Believe It", "Love It", "Work It", "Own It" and "Give It". These six skills are now a philosophy she and Jack have adopted in life!
Ann has spent years volunteering and working with parents and kids. After her amazing experience with Jack she decided to share her millionaire skills with other parents and wrote her book, How to Raise a Millionaire.
