We had the good fortune of connecting with James Lanham and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi James, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Being a Top-Rated garage door company helps – doing good work and being ethical in pricing and being found on page one of Google – all these factors seeth success.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am a proud business owner who took up the daunting task of learning how to create my own WordPress websites and web footprint in city #5 of our great large nation. Phoenix is hard to rank any business and the amount of money I save doing my own web footprint hails victory on my large call volume on my competitors – without the cost of hiring an agency SEO to rank my business. It is important that you do not let your past define who you are today – real leaders reach their hand down to help others up and live by the golden rule.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love my BIG city and the many fun activities Phoenix and the surrounding areas have to offer. I enjoy the atmosphere at Stir Crazy Comedy Club and is a great way to cut loose with some good laughs with some top names. There are ENDLESS concerts with several stadiums and casinos throughout the valley that have an awesome line-up of any kind of music for the many aged bracketed folk here in Phoenix. Tempe is a fun atmosphere full of vibrant colors at night and offers so much outdoors ‘anything’ that the fun is limitless. Scottsdale is The Guru’s favorite spot to admire. It is a city with enrichment of growth and a friendly community to aspire to the growth Arizona is experiencing – my hot spot in Scottsdale is the hole in the rock or Papago Park. The Phoenix area has to offer is endless and I love my city for all it has to take in.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I grew up in foster care and faced many hardships – I have to take this moment and thank myself for the times I was too poor, to the times when I pay my bills ahead – I have myself to thank for the structured and dedicated business success I have acquired to push though.
