What started out of as friendly advice has become a life and business rooted in purpose and passion for this 23 year old entrepreneur. 

Khila James, born and raised in the Bronx, NY started her company, The Bougie Brand, in the year 2019. Back then, her goal was to inspire & educate other women who wanted to become entrepreneurs. After starting her first business, SHE Muse, a community organization that held uplifting events for women of color; Khila started to get a lot of inquiries from other women on how they can start their own business. She would meet up with them for coffee and answer their business related questions. She loved helping other women realize how great entrepreneurship can be. 

Naturally, given her already fostering entrepreneurial spirit, she realized that she could start a business giving start up advice to other aspiring entrepreneurs. After successful launching and selling business resources to over 1,000 customers, Khila realized that the real issue aspiring and budding entrepreneurs were having was planning, organization, & execution. 

“People struggle to identify exactly what it is that they needed to do to accomplish their goals – whether that be in life or business. And a lot of the planners on the market aren’t really goal oriented. They’re just dated lines.” says Khila. After identifying this issue, she went to work on creating her own daily lifestyle planner — also including a sticker book that has 2,500 stickers, a signature diamond 

ballpoint pen, & a signature hustle bookmark, to create the Bougie Lifestyle Bundle

She’s even since gone on to launch a business planner and a business workbook. 

She’s now sold 2,000 planners within her first year of launch. The response was overwhelming as people poured in their experience with using the planners to take control of their lives and business ventures and chase their dreams. It was then, she says, that she truly realized her passion for helping people actually get actionable on achieving their goals. “I just know that there was once a time that I was really unhappy with my life. I bought a planner and wrote down all of the goals I wanted to accomplish to get my life to where I wanted it to be. Every single day, I opened the planner and completed and checked off tasks, until I finally started seeing improvement in my life. I’m finally where I want to be in life and I attribute it all to 

using my planner every day to get actionable. This is the experience and result I’m trying to help others achieve with my planners.” 

As the end of 2021 approaches, Khila says she’s excited to release the 2022 Bougie Lifestyle Planner, her signature lifestyle planner. “I’ve just finished it and it’s packed with amazing lifestyle, organization & goal-setting tools. I’m really excited for my tribe to experience it.” She’s also excited to release some new planners she’s been working on, including The 90 Day Goal Getter Planner & The Budget Bestie Pocket Planner. “Procrastination & budgeting seemed to be the biggest issues my social media followers expressed and while all of my planners tackle these issues, I decided to create specific planners so they can get laser focused on getting actionable on these areas in their lives” She says. 

Khila is truly working towards making an impact in the planning industry. Details on how her customers use the planner are featured on her website. Justice Harris, who purchased the Big Book Of Business Moves says, “I love everything about planning so when I came across this particular planner I already knew I had to have it. Once I got it and started looking and reading through, I knew I didn’t waste my money! I love how she made this business planner for businesses that’s already established , instead of just for businesses starting out! I plan on opening my new business in August and this book is exactly what I needed to get all my things done! It has me checking areas that I didn’t even think about when I first started my business back in 2017! I HIGHLY recommend you get this product! And oh let me not forget! The material of the bookis DEFINITELY high quality!”
