Meet Bethany James | Personal Assistant & Digital Creator


We had the good fortune of connecting with Bethany James and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Bethany, other than deciding to work for yourself, what else do you think played a pivotal role in your story?
As a digital creator specializing in storyboards, faith-based marketing, and selling digital goods, I firmly believe that investment is the single most critical factor in achieving success. Investing wisely is pivotal to achieving one’s goals. Looking back, I wish I had invested in digital goods such as customizable apparel, self-publishing, and songwriting through platforms like Your Song Maker by David Hawkins when I first started my education at 18. Furthermore, I strongly believe that success begins with investment because branding and self-identification have enabled me to discover my career aspirations, such as digital marketing. By investing in my craft, I have gained valuable insights into my strengths and weaknesses, which is essential for individuals who are undecided about their major. Often, one may pursue a lucrative career path, only to find it unfulfilling, or, like me, change their major altogether.


Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I commenced my writing journey in a composition book/ text message relay and subsequently transitioned to professional writing. Having completed college English coursework and possessing a lifelong passion for poetry, I leveraged my artistic background to cultivate my craft
My artistic development has been influenced by my involvement in church, community service, and academic pursuits. Notably, my experience playing the B-flat clarinet from sixth-grade band to college orchestra honed my musical ear. Additionally, my participation in church, school, and community choirs during adolescence and early adulthood further refined my artistic sensibilities. Presently, I create and share my work online. Professionally, I attribute my success to strategic investment and networking. By embracing opportunities and persevering through challenges, I have established a formidable brand. Patience and persistence are essential in building a successful brand, as one never knows which opportunity may yield success. My journey has not been without obstacles, including time management and organizational constraints. To overcome these challenges, I utilize a planner and set reminders across multiple calendars. Key takeaways from my experiences include the importance of continuous progress, writing to one’s future self, and investing in personal growth.
My brand and story:

My name is Poetess Bethany Camille James and I grew up in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado in a family of six including me. However, I was born in Clearwater, Florida. Life was bittersweet. The geography inspired me, yet I felt as I was growing up different, and I seem to stand out like the vast Rocky Mountains. As I got older I would find my connection to the world through reciting poetry, and extracurricular activities in school and the community. It was demanding being active and helpful.

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?
Hello Your Shout-out,
I would love to dedicate this shout out to David Hawkins and Your Song Maker. I want to thank them for the efforts of making my song words called Wedding Night (spoken word) from my book The Big Game Poetry Collection into a custom song. My song is called The Big Game Collection-Wedding Night by Bethany James. They are ultra professional and make songs for occasions. My song was made to be my future tense wedding vows. I am single, but I thought it would be empowering to make. They deserve recognition.
