My Journey In Life
I’m just like you, but I got lucky and stumbled into the amazing world of digital marketing! Here is my story...
As a kid...
Growing up, I was surrounded by family, friends, and endless adventures. After school, you could usually find me riding four-wheelers or playing at the creek with the neighbor kids, until the sun went down. Weekends were often spent working cows, which is where I learned to drive—my papa had an incredible amount of trust in me, and I’ll never forget those early lessons. And when I wasn’t out on the farm, I was with my cousins, who to this day remain some of my absolute favorite people. Those moments, filled with love, laughter, and a lot of learning, shaped the person I am today.
Then the entrepreneurship bug bit me...
When the Entrepreneur Bug Hit Me
Growing up, entrepreneurship wasn’t just something I dreamed of—it was part of my DNA. My parents owned their own business, and from an early age, I was immersed in the hustle and heart of running a family enterprise.
My dad and uncle started a body shop that grew into a salvage yard, and eventually, my mom left her job to join them. Over time, my dad bought out my uncle, expanded into repairable vehicles, and later evolved the business into a metal recycling operation. I absolutely loved
being at the business—it was my favorite place to hang out. Whether I was riding around the salvage yard in an old car my dad always kept for us or playing in the box truck “playhouse” he’d send us to when we got too rowdy, I was captivated by the energy and innovation that surrounded me.
Watching my dad, mom, uncle, and cousins pour their hearts into the business lit a fire in me. I knew early on that this was the life I wanted for myself.
When I decided it was time for me to work, my dad had a lesson ready for me. He didn’t just hand me a role—he told me to go talk to the manager, who would be my boss. I’ll admit, that manager didn’t go easy on me. But looking back, it was the best thing my dad could have done.
That experience taught me the value of hard work, resilience, and earning my place, even in a family business. For that, I am endlessly thankful. Growing up in a family business didn’t just teach me how to work—it taught me how to dream, build, and believe in myself.
Those early lessons shaped me into the entrepreneur I am today and sparked my passion for business. From a salvage yard to digital marketing, the entrepreneurial bug has only grown stronger, and I’m proud to carry forward the legacy of hard work and innovation that my family instilled in me.
Then I tried all the things that, well, didn't work...
When we were starting the metal recycling business, we had a several team members we wanted to keep, so we took on the challenge of starting two additional businesses—a used car lot and a U-Pull-It operation. Looking back, trying to launch and manage three new businesses at once was a little insane! We quickly realized we didn’t have enough land to properly run the U-Pull-It, and none of us really enjoyed the used car business. Eventually, we scaled back to focus solely on the metal recycling business.
While these setbacks were disheartening, they taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, adaptability, and the importance of aligning your work with your passions. Those challenges helped shape the way I approach business today. At this point in life I needed some flexibility for our family so, I sold my part of the business to our son.
Finally, I cracked the code!
My turning point came when I stumbled upon digital marketing. It started with a free webinar on social media marketing that piqued my interest. I decided to dive deeper and invested in comprehensive courses covering SEO, social media marketing, email campaigns, and pay-per-click advertising. I immersed myself in learning everything I could about these strategies. I applied these newfound skills to a new venture—That's were Susan James came into creation! This business. I used social media to create engaging content, optimized my website for search engines, and built an email list to nurture leads. The results were astounding. My client base grew rapidly, and my revenue soared. I realized the power of digital marketing to reach a vast audience and convert interest into sales. This success story was not just a fluke; it was the result of strategic planning, consistent effort, and leveraging the right tools.
