Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration to start a business came when I first started one. I had the idea to sell snacks in middle school. I “hired” 2 friends, (one of which had a family costco card) to buy and distribute snacks we bought in bulk. Once I got to highschool I found sneaker reselling which i did all through school. Now I own a clothing line while in school that I sm going to scale.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by always remembering the main goal. I wanted to become an entrepreneur because I know deep down I’m not meant to work a regular nine to five. Ever since I worked at Chick-fil-A, my Sophomore year of high school, I knew that I had to be the boss. I have to be the one to build something that can change not just my life but my family’s as well. That is what keeps me motivated to keep going

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I was presented the $25,000 the first thing I’d do is invest in a team. As of right now I do everything myself l. I’d also invest in more inventory for my store with better manufacturers. As well as use it for any marketing expenses when promoting new collections.
