Who or what is your inspiration in business?

The easy answer is my family, my wife and my 15 yr-old son who I need to provide for, with my current passion for guitars my mind is full of ideas which inspires me to push the limits and boundaries of my creativity. I love creating art that another artist can pick up and continue making art with! This opportunity would help me continue making guitars which is my goal. I have had the privilege to make guitars for some great artists and hope to make many more in the future!

How do you stay motivated?

Oddly enough, I have three simple things that I try to follow to help me with motivation, get enough sleep, exercise, and eat properly! This is very difficult even though it seems simple! Along with that, I set exciting goals for myself to conquer , I get recharged by visiting nature and escaping into my favorite places either by big water or in a forest, completely disconnecting from everything for a while! I also try and keep in good relation with my wife and my son, which is Paramount!

What would you do with the $25,000?

A good way for positive impact is mentoring/coaching, I would reinvest 25K into my business, to hire an apprentice to teach and help with much of the work, Since I switched from construction to Guitars a few years ago (so much red tape and regulations in 🇨🇦) , I had to lay off my best employee, and it has been difficult to work on my own, so hiring somebody would be very helpful, someone who is good with computer skills would be good to possibly help run a new CNC machine ! Thank you 🙏🏻
