Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I have many, but primarily my step dad. Since he’s been in my life, he’s pushed me to use my creative strengths and ideas to develop businesses. He’s extremely creative and has developed many products over the years. He has even more ideas, some I have started working on.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated my writing down clear goals and taking actionable steps towards them as I can. I also remember times when I really put pen to paper and how great my accomplishments were and that I am always capable of doing that again and in even better ways.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the funds to kickstart one of my main business ideas. I want to start a unique fashion brand. I’ve started creating the product and trouble shooting the techniques and materials to use. I have a clear vision on how I see this line taking off, this money would allow me to officially get started. I would purchase supplies and invest in resources.
