One of my favorite quotes is definitely “your opinion about me, is none of my business”. Which definitely applies if you’re actually being authentic and honest. ❤

[@thelatashajames]

Yesss! Love that, it’s a good thing for anyone creating content to keep in mind. 🙌🏽

[@themicrodosementor]

I feel I relate to the way your brain operates. Thank you for sharing and offering me comfort ❤

[@CaitlynGrad]

Thank you for this video! I'm starting my freelance business, I have one client that I got from my teacher and I'm looking for a few more. I've been trying to find a way to go about it. Going back to the basics and staying local is just what I needed to hear. Thank you!

[@desereenicole]

Love the Q & A video! Also, I was a student of your SMMA course and I found the cohort and collaborative style to be so helpful! Thank you for what you put out into the world.

[@thelatashajames]

Thank you so much, Deseree!! ❤

[@auroralee_co]

Love this video! I binge-watched Remit's show after your last video. It's good!

[@thelatashajames]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@chericobb_]

[@thelatashajames]

So glad you enjoyed it, Cheri 🙌🏽

[@divinealchemy3078]

Thank you for all of your valuable content you post here for us, Latasha 🙏 I have a question if you don't mind answering: what do you think about digital nomad lifestyle and how would you go about it, if you ever decided to try it out?

[@simplysophiedesigns]

From being a college student studying marketing to working in a corporate job wishing I could do my own thing, to finally quitting corporate to pursue by graphic design business full time, I have gained so much from watching your videos at every single stage. Thank you for all you do!

[@thelatashajames]

Aw thank you so much for this comment. SO glad my videos have been helpful! ❤

[@jamalgreen3056]

TH-cam is becoming more for conservatives people on TH-cam look to be more informed on social media it’s a little bit different im starting my own financial investment group next year and I’m glad u recommended everyone to pipe drive that will most definitely help me out for organizing meeting calls

[@EpochViral1Moments]

Hi! i just want to ask you, what if i have knowledge and skills to be a SMM, but it's my first time to show my knowledge to the market(No experience), So how can i convince clients to work with me⁉please respond me as soon as possible. thank you for your time.

Create a personal account and make posts related to something you really enjoy, you can use that as your portfolio.

[@robdob202]

I would start first with a niche and what forms of art I do most. Like now, I am skilled in graphic design, fashion illustration and fine arts, along with painting and airbrushing on clothes. I'm picking 2 of them in which are both graphic design and custom clothes and shoes. As far as negative talk from people, I ignore it. It takes time to build business but to know that I'll get paid fully off of what people are getting paid a percentage of, how much I plan to make and am making to the point they'll get paid a year of what I'll get paid that month is what I laugh at every time someone says something negatively ridiculous. All I do is laugh because down the line at some point those people will be the same people asking you if you're hiring.

[@thelatashajames]

Truth! 🙌🏽

[@robdob202]

@@thelatashajames it's the mindset we need to have, no matter what we're gonna have downfalls but at times those downfall put us in better positions in life. Where others see a downfalls and what they are downfalls yet we see them as stumbles.

[@alexandratracey8252]

I get so annoyed by those kinds of ignorant comments. I watched a video the other day that showed that only 10% of ALL TH-cam accounts have more than 1,000 followers. SO 174K is a HUGE account. Like, that's 2.5 Taylor Swift shows. Why are we pretending that's not a massive achievement?

[@thelatashajames]

Thanks, that's a good way to look at it!

[@DeVineDarla]

Mediocre men live to tear confident successful women down. And you SHOULD flex, you work hard and built a successful business and large social media following!!! Screw that guy lol

[@thelatashajames]

I appreciate you! ❤
