Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from seeing how innovative solutions can create meaningful change. For example, companies like Tesla inspire me because they combine sustainability with cutting-edge technology to challenge traditional industries. On a personal level, I’m also motivated by my family’s sacrifices and the need to succeed not just for myself but to support them and make their efforts worthwhile. This drives me to think creatively and work hard to make a positive impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my long-term goals, like creating a sustainable future for my family and making a meaningful impact in business and sustainability. I remind myself of the sacrifices my family has made and the opportunities I have to honor their efforts. I also break down my goals into smaller, manageable tasks and celebrate progress along the way. Staying connected with mentors, friends, and projects I’m passionate about, like my ideas in competitions, helps keep my energy.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would develop a new startup focused on sustainability and technology. The funds would be used for research, prototyping, and assembling a team to create an innovative solution, like optimizing waste management or improving energy efficiency. I’d allocate resources to market analysis and testing to ensure scalability and real-world impact, aiming to address pressing environmental challenges with a tech-driven approach.
