James Chan is the author of Spare Room Tycoon, a book on the real-life stories of 40 men and women, including James Chan and his co-author Thomas Hine, who left their former employers (from multinational corporations to privately-held companies) to start their own businesses.
The book documents how these "spare room tycoons" have overcome the daunting difficulties of starting a business on one's own and live to share their personal tales, wisdom, skills and advice with other people who contemplate taking the same career choice for themselves.
