Meet Ashley D. Jones

Ashley D. Jones is a business strategist, operations expert, and co-founder of It’s a Jones Thing — a legacy-building platform she created alongside her husband and business partner. With over a decade of experience leading teams, restructuring operations, and guiding entrepreneurs toward sustainable growth, Ashley is known for her ability to see the big picture while designing systems that actually work in real life.

Her career spans consulting for small businesses, creating operational blueprints for scaling companies, and helping leaders protect both their brand and their well-being. Whether in the boardroom or the living room, Ashley approaches business and life with the same philosophy: protect your name, build with boundaries, and lead like the asset you are.

The Heart Behind the Work

Ashley’s passion for entrepreneurship is deeply personal. She knows the pressure of wearing many hats — wife, mother, leader, problem-solver — and understands the toll that constant hustle can take on mental, physical, and emotional health. After navigating her own seasons of burnout, she committed to a different way of building: one that values clarity over chaos and sustainability over speed.

This personal shift fuels everything she creates, from her books to her speaking engagements. Ashley’s work is designed to help people lead with confidence, create margin for what matters most, and build legacies that last for generations.

Author of Don’t Play with My Business

Her debut book, Don’t Play with My Business, is part memoir and part manual for entrepreneurs who are ready to draw the line between their worth and their workload. It offers unfiltered lessons, proven strategies, and the mindset shifts needed to build smarter — not just hustle harder. Available in Print, eBook, and Audiobook formats, the book has become a go-to resource for entrepreneurs, legacy-builders, and professionals, especially women, who are done doing it all without boundaries.

Beyond the Page

Ashley’s influence extends beyond writing. She mentors entrepreneurs, speaks at business events, and creates resources that turn vision into action. Her ability to connect with people comes from real-world experience — she’s been in the trenches, navigated the challenges, and built businesses that thrive without burning out their leaders.

When she’s not strategizing for clients or creating new tools for It’s a Jones Thing, Ashley enjoys time with her husband and children, embracing the balance she teaches.

Ashley’s Core Message

  • Protect your name.
  • Build with boundaries.
  • Lead like the asset you are.

This is more than a tagline — it’s a blueprint for how she lives, leads, and inspires others to do the same.
