Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from the desire to build something meaningful and lasting through Qreative Art Massage. I’m inspired by the opportunity to help people feel better physically and mentally through my work. And the dream of when I expand that I create an environment that’s a safe place for myself, employees, and clients.

How do you stay motivated?

Remembering why I started Qreative Art Massage keeps me motivated. I’m also driven by knowing I’m setting an example for my siblings and showing them what hard work and dedication can lead to. The support I receive from my clients, family, and friends also plays a big role in keeping me inspired and pushing forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would allocate the $25,000 to support the stability of my small business, Qreative Art Massage. About $10,000 would be set aside as an emergency cushion for slower months or unexpected expenses. Around $4,000 would go toward supplies and inventory, $4,000 toward marketing and promotions, $3,000 for equipment maintenance or small upgrades, and $3,000 for continuing education to keep improving the quality of services provided. And the $1000 would be a donation.
