Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from the desire to create stability, freedom, and legacy for my family. I grew up understanding how quickly life circumstances can change, and that motivated me to want something that I could build and sustain on my own terms. I am inspired by entrepreneurs who started with limited resources but used creativity, consistency, and resilience to build successful businesses.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my long-term goals and the purpose behind what I am building. Luxe Legacy Furnishing is not just a business idea for me it represents stability, independence, and the opportunity to create a lasting legacy for my family. Whenever challenges come up, I remind myself that every step forward, even small ones, is progress toward something bigger than my current circumstances.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded $25,000, I would use the funds to launch Luxe Legacy Furnishing by purchasing initial liquidation truckloads of furniture, which are the core of my inventory and revenue. Funds would also cover transportation, storage, and basic setup to properly receive and stage products. A portion would go toward marketing and branding to attract early customers. This investment would allow me to generate sales quickly, build steady cash flow, and create a strong foundation for long-term growth.
