Who or what is your inspiration in business?

From a fashion perspective, Christian Louboutin inspires me because he defied the odds by doing something different, painting the sole of his shoes red. What seemed like a small detail became a global signature. This reminds me that sometimes it only takes one unique touch to set you apart. As long as I remain true to what inspires me, I believe others will recognize that vision and join the journey, helping to unlock and push forward the wealth and creativity that already lives inside of us.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by staying busy and connected to the vision. I have to continue seeing the vision, doing the vision, touching the vision, and talking about the vision. When I stay engaged with it daily, it keeps me moving forward and pushes me closer to the vision manifesting.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would purchase the software it takes to continue building the consigning portion of the business, purchase more inventory and product expansion, inventory management system, launch an exclusive line, add items for The Dressing Room branding, product displays, and social media marketing campaigns.
