Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration in business is the idea of turning passion into something meaningful and impactful. I’m inspired by entrepreneurs who start with a vision and build it into a brand that connects with people and makes them feel confident and empowered. Seeing how creativity, persistence, and belief in yourself can transform a small idea into success motivates me to keep growing, learning, and pushing forward every day.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by constantly reminding myself why I started and what I’m working toward. Having clear goals keeps me focused, but what really drives me is passion—when you truly love what you do, it’s easier to stay consistent even on hard days. I also celebrate small wins, because progress (even little steps) builds confidence and momentum.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000, I would invest most of it into growing my makeup brand by improving product quality, packaging, and marketing through social media and influencers. I would also purchase enough inventory to avoid running out of stock and missing sales. A portion would be saved as an emergency fund for stability. Finally, I would use a small amount to reward myself and stay motivated on my journey.
