Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My Mission Statement, My brand Values, Nature, Fabrics, and House Music/Soca Music. House music puts me in the mood to draw and create new patterns in my sketch pad. I reviewed GQ British magazine Royal Blossom which was featured a few years back to keep the creativity flowing. Soca is part of my heritage and part of the brand. New York/ NJ energy with house music to the tropical beach vibes. "Once you discover how unique you are you begin to change the world around you" Mr. Pineapple

How do you stay motivated?

The way I stay motivated is constantly reminding myself on why I started this business. I review customer videos and review my pages and website. My Instagram is full of different fashion education that teaches me new techniques on marketing and promotion. I look back at my very first shirt that I produced. They were great quality shirts, however there were many mistakes in the shirt from pantone colors that faded to the shirt not fitting most of my target audience.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would restructure my marketing plans for ads. I would start 2 productions for the summer lines for men and women. I would also take my presentation for shipping to the next level with custom packages when orders are shipped. I would take about 25% of the funds and donate them to One of the youth programs and my church. Lastly, I put a portion of the funds to the rest of the deposit for London Fashion week and samples for this September coming up. We are invited to attend London Fashion Week.
