  • As someone that’s ran a clothing business, viral tik toks helped me. I learned the algorithm, made good content, made good clothes and did numbers. Since the tik toks went viral, influencers would reach out to me to send them stuff. Most of the influencers didn’t post what I sent, so I recommend incentivizing them and or having some type of conditions or agreements before going that route. I would also involve lots of models so they would repost the content with them, I was in NYC so different context probably. I did 95% organic. 25-7k per drop in revenue




  • My philosophy is skillsets before business ideas. What good is an idea if you can’t execute it? I heard in a podcast or something, Mark Cuban said a year in door to door sales is the equivalent to 4 year degree in communications. I’ve made six figures since 21 doing sales, met multiple mentors, and am currently bootstrapping my second startup from sales commissions. Sales and effective communication has taken me a long way. My first real start up made a lot of profit, but I got out of the industry due to a misunderstanding of the reality of it. I learned lots about marketing, interpersonal relationships in business, networking, organic marking, positioning, and influence. Every step of the journey will require you to learn to skills, and you will fail a lot. Failure is just steps towards success, so don’t worry too much about your first idea. Just get to executing and building your fundamental skillsets, these will go with you in any context moving forward.

    Your best bet is surrounding yourself with other up and coming entrepreneurs. They will add perspective as they discover and grow, and you will as well. I personally, connect to other entrepreneurs online where we constantly discus our own journeys, ideas, value etc. because of this the growth occurs a lot faster on a daily basis. Unless you’re rich already you have nothing in common. For me I have rich mentors I’ve met while doing high ticket sales, where we call once every 6 months or so, but on a day to communicate with other entrepreneurs. We’re all making six figures plus, so we’re headed on the right track, just not “rich” yet
