Moziah Bridges’ is unique because he started his business at such a young age. He wasn’t afraid of failing; he knew other people liked his unique style and wanted to make it available to everyone. He first started wearing bow ties to be like his dad. However, he struggled to find bow ties that fit his own style. He wanted something different than what was offered on the market, so he acted on this dissatisfaction. In this way, he created something new and exciting for others who shared in this dissatisfaction with boring bow ties. His idea is great because he invites a new group of people into a style trend. Younger kids can now wear bow ties because Mo’s Bows offers fun colors and patterns that attract a younger audience. Bridges demonstrates taking risk through learning how to sew and creating his own website. He demonstrates innovation through coming up with an idea new to the market. He innovates the bow tie business by putting a new spin on something already created. Bow ties were once rigid in design, but Bridges introduces a new bow tie that is fun, exciting and eye catching.
Bridges inspires me to be unique in my style. I love how he wanted to be like his dad in wearing bow ties- but he didn’t forsake his own style. He wanted soemthing to match his personality and preferences while following after his dad. He wasn’t afraid to be different and created his own trend that other people admired. I have learned through his story to be creative with my own style trends. To wear things that I like, without thinking about other peoples opinions. He also taught me to not be afraid of failure. He had a great idea; he didnt know if it would work, but he went for it anyway and saw the benefits.
The inspirational story behind Mo’s Bows demonstrates the importance of creating a product that appeals to a specific audience. Bridges was able to tap into a need experienced by many other kids his age by creating an accessory of self-expression.
