Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Growing up my idol as a child was Shawn Carter (Jay-Z). What inspired me was seeing him create a company from the ground up. It was alot of hard work creating a brand like Roca Fella Records. He had to make music, promote it, and most of all sell it. But he looked beyond just music by getting into clothing, movies, liquor, and later on sports management. Admire Jay-Z’s consistency!

How do you stay motivated?

I listen to a lot of motivational content online. I'm a Nipsey Hussle follower. I usually go back and listen to alot of his old interviews where he speaks about how he motivated himself to gear for success. I wake up everyday telling myself to dare to be great. Money is great; but knowledge is priceless.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put the money in a business bank account under my LLC. That way I can create a foundation for opening a line or lines of business credit. In order to get my coin laundry started. Secondly, use some of that money to pay off some debts. Lenders want to know if you can pay your bills. Third, I’d invest some money in stocks that pay monthly dividends. The rest I’d treat myself and my kids to something.
