We had the good fortune of connecting with Demetrius Bethea and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Demetrius, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I initially started my first business in 2017 with the thought of helping people and making money. I knew I did not want to work a 9 to 5. Amongst my peers I always heard people discussing problems in corporate America and I knew that I wanted to be a part of the solution. At only 23 I was ambitious however I had a lot to learn about the way business works and the best way to be of service to those I serve. Over time I realized that the money I sought out to make would take some time however in the process I was able to serve those I came in contact with in a multitude of areas. I would say that my mindset shifted many times throughout my career however it was the initial thought of helping people that has stayed consistent. As I embark on my next venture that is the sole intent, To be inclusive and assist the underrepresented and underprivileged men and woman of color, lgbtq + and any and all members of a community that has struggled for equality to have equal access to the tools and resources they need to achieve financial freedom.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a work-flow process leader that focuses on providing innovative client solutions. Since starting my journey I provide daily executive management, oversight, and quality control for all of my company’s daily program operations, ensuring companywide profitability, growth, and expansion. Since inception his management has resulted in securing notable clients, growing the company in both scale and capacity, and achieving significant revenue gains. My focus is introducing my new brand to the world and letting everyone know that despite your background, ethnicity, gender or upbringing you can be successful
