Ashante, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
I get my work ethic from quite a few things. The goals that I’ve set for myself keep me going for sure. My goal of becoming a millionaire before the age of 35 really drives me to go harder than most people. Watching my mom grind how she did influenced me to strive for more because no matter what she always made a way for me and my siblings. I also played football most of my life and when I was younger I had asthma and bronchitis. I didn’t let that stop me from starting my first year when I was in the 4th grade. I worked really hard and ended up not needing my inhaler anymore and outgrew both asthma and bronchitis.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I want to influence entrepreneurship and show people that no matter what background you come from, you can become a successful business owner if you put in the work and grind. I want 7fig to represent that grind. When you put 7fig gear on, I want you to understand that there’s like minded people similar to you that want more in life. People that perform at their best even when they’re tired. I want you feel like the go getter you are!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
A few tips that could really help you when you’re starting a brand is knowing what your vision is, finding trendy ways to market that vision, and finding manufacturers to help you bring that vision to life. Your vision is something you should come up with yourself and that vision should represent what you are going to be doing with your brand. Marketing that vision could be done in many ways. Instagram reels and Tik Tok videos are free, so if you don’t have the budget for marketing.. you can use your free social media platforms and post some quality work. Finding manufacturers isn’t the easiest thing to do and a lot of people struggle to find a good manufacturer that’s going to have quality work and quality materials for a reasonable price. One thing that helped me is I went on Instagram and I found popular brand pages and some of them offer manufacturer lists for reasonable prices.
Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
Yoga might be the best thing you can do for yourself when you’re dealing with a lot on your plate. Not only when you’re overwhelmed, but just in general. I challenge everyone reading this to go try a 10 minute beginners yoga video on YouTube. I can guarantee that you will feel better than when you first started the video.
