Upcoming Fashion Designer -- P3 Designs Pursue Purpose Passionately

I think it is so important to pursue your passion. Not only pursue, but make sure you plan and do research to be successful in your business.

This is such a good question! My parents always told me to follow what I loved to do, but there was always this underlying push to pursue it. But as a kid, I always had some type of business like a candy store, friendship bracelets, and dog-walking services. I was able to use the money I made to by my first car at 16. In 2004, I started to think about what I really wanted to do with my life. I loved the freedom of business, loved fashion, and was known for inspiring others. So P3 was born integrating all of my passion into an inspirational clothing line.

10. What are your plans for 2007 with this clothing line and your business? Are there any new products coming out that you'd like to tell us about?

This spring we will be launching new items in our Dreams to Reality collection, along with expanding our men's line.

11. What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs? What are the pros and cons of the fashion industry?

For other entrepreneurs, the best advice I would give them is to make sure to have a plan in place. Work smarter, not harder! Sometimes we think if we do a lot of shows, we're doing everything we can to be successful. It's about creating a plan, having good development and marketing to the right people. That is more important.

Some of the pros and cons of the fashion industry are making sure that you stay grounded and not letting your ego come between business decisions. Some opportunities may seem lavish and good for your ego, but may not be the best decision from a business perspective.
