I’m 70 years old and I just recently started a clothing store on Shopify. I’ve always enjoyed fashion so I decided to do this before I die.

What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreI was inspired by a gentleman on Instagram that goes by the name LVMNY. He shared go to design clothes using Lysol with bleach. When I saw how much money he had made doing this I thought why not give it a try. I started off using old tee shirts that I had already. I made some really cool designs. That gave me the confidence to try my designs on hoodies. So I bought 15 blank hoodies in various sizes and colors and went to work. My designs are great but I don’t have the money to move forward
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by posting on social media. The more views and comments I get, the more it keeps me going. This is something that I really want to do, so it’s not hard to stay motivated. I put my heart and soul into this project and I refuse to let it fail.
What would you do with the $25,000?With the $25,000 I would advertise on all social media platforms. I would get a graphic designer to redo my logo. I would also purchase some equipment to create better designs. I would find a vendor from which I could purchase high quality products to design. Basically I would do all the things necessary to take my business to the next level.
