Amanda James’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We recently had the chance to connect with Amanda James and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning Amanda, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Joy Outside of working on my brand, for me has got to be working out. My gym time and walking is very important to, because it gives me my “ME TIME”, This is the time I use to reflect, and let go, and this helps me mentally. Keeping my mental health up to par is even more Important to me. Your mind has to be able to tell your body to go, and when it does your body has to be to comply.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I’m going to answer this question like this, I don’t conform or mold myself by the “worlds” expectations. I focus on who I am as a person, and who I am as a woman. I feel like this, as long as I’m really doing right by people and myself, have good morals, integrity, and respect, I’m not worried about other people’s opinions. Although, I would like to say, I’m always willing to learn and listen to a positive word. I ask God for wisdom and knowledge, to guide me, and to be present in everything that I do, and I have faith that He’s going to do exactly what I ask. I don’t think people should look for acceptance from others about who they are or who they should be, because the only person that can determine that is YOU.

When you were sad or scared as a child, what helped?
GOD, GOD has always been my go to for my sadness and fears. I learned about GOD at a young age, so anytime I would feel sad or scared I would pray and ask GOD to be my protector, uplifter, and I would pray for hope. I still do this as a grown woman, and He always has my back.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me is absolutely the real me, I’m a private person, therefore you want get all of me if I don’t know you, but I have no reason to fake a persona that’s not me. I love who I am, so I don’t mind if other people experience who I truly am. Being yourself is part of what I’m about, because acting like somebody your not, will eventually weigh you down.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. Are you tap dancing to work? Have you been that level of excited at any point in your career? If so, please tell us about those days. 
I actually without a doubt love what I do, it’s a passion. I wake up, go to bed, and dream about about designs, colors, New things I can do with and for my brand, I’m always thinking, WHAT’S NEXT?! Even before I started my business I would day dream about doing what I do, but especially since I’ve started it’s been a dream come true for me. I think ultimately you have to love what you do in order to continue to be motivated to do it, and that’s if you own a business or work a 9-5.
