In business, I'm driven by two key inspirations. First, my passion for creativity drives me to turn my ideas into a fulfilling career. Second, I want to inspire others who feel their dreams are out of reach. By pursuing my own dreams, I aim to show them that nothing is impossible. My journey is about embracing what I love and encouraging others to follow theirs, proving that dreams can indeed come true. It's about making passion real and helping others do the same.

To stay motivated, I focus on my passions and surround myself with positivity. I dive into what genuinely excites me, breaking my goals into manageable steps that provide a sense of achievement. My circle of supportive and uplifting people keeps my spirits high and propels me forward. When I need a boost, I take time to recharge and return with renewed energy. Balancing passion, a supportive environment, and self-care keeps me motivated and ready to tackle whatever comes my way.

If awarded $25,000, I'd elevate my fashion brand, Stephen Goudeau, by investing in high-quality fabrics and materials, continuing my creations to stand out.

My focus is to maximize ROI, boosts customer satisfaction, and solidifies our presence, ensuring every dollar enhances our brand's impact and influence.
