Meet James Metts

We recently connected with James Metts and have shared our conversation below.

James, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

I had a question that I thought about fleetingly for years. The question was: What would a kid from another planet think about how we live? One evening when I got home a party, I decided that I would no longer put off writing down the answer to that question. I thought my question would be much simpler than it turned out. That question took a little more than seven years to answer on a grand total of one hundred six pages. It was during the process of writing down my answer though that I learned what my purpose was. My purpose is to make students aware of a seven letter word that proves how landscapes on Earth were transformed to what we see today. Once they become aware of that seven letter word they will be able to transform their ideas in to reality with confidence.

After a little more than seven years I finished writing my answer down, and I gave my paper a title, Planet Storyland. Then I published it.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

My brand is Planet Storyland. I intend to make Planet Storyland a National and International Bestseller. I want young adults all around the world to know the message contained in my book. Why? Because young adults need to possess all of the most useful knowledge they can to become happy and productive citizens.

Planet Storyland is a fictional story inspired by a truth. A truth I learned while writing the answer to that question I had. Again, that question was, what would a kid from another planet think about how we live? That truth I explain what it is in my book, but it is not something I made up. So, I cannot claim credit for it. The truth that was revealed to me is the most powerful tool man has ever conceived. Actually, the tool is seven letter word that is comprised of seven tools. And that truth, that tool, is within the reach of our fingertips.

My strong desire to spread the good news contained in Planet Storyland has made marketing both frustrating and challenging. However, learning marketing is exciting, but more so when I am talking with someone about it. Face to face always feels more substantive than posting. On November 23, 2024 I read a portion of Planet Storyland at The Dock Bookshop in Fort Worth. I had a lot of fun talking to with the people there.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Sincerity, because it foretells the outcome of whatever I desire to accomplish. Persistence, means that I mean business. Simplicity, because keeping things simple is all about making the project easy.

Let your questions be your guide, unless you’re being nosey!

Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?

Scheduling my activities related to promoting Planet Storyland is very challenging too. Currently I am employed at a company, so I have to weigh the requirements of the activities I’m interested in pursuing based upon the time I have available. I also need time for sleep and recreation as well. All work, no play and little sleep are unhealthy.
