-Brand development
 I started IMpower Clothing Company in 2010 to show people that if you try hard enough in life nothing is impossible, and you can achieve anything with hard work. 
 If I want to accomplish something I am going to find out how, and do it myself. I may take on to many tasks, and push myself to hard sometimes, but I have learned from that, and have become a stronger more driven, and smarter person. I have designed all my clothing myself, and have found all my competitors weaknesses, and flaws, and have found a way to market a strong brand while changing some kids lives while doing it. I look towards people who have inspired me such as Sean Parker. Most people don’t know him, but he might not be a millionaire at the time, but he is now, and it’s not so much that he made money, but he also changed the music world for the rest of our lives. Sean Parker was the founder of Napster.com, and he changed the game of music as we know it, and this is what I want to accomplish with my clothing company. I want to change the game and IMpower the Next Generation with my clothes.
