Eli Zied was just 17 years old when he became the CEO of his company, Habits 365. Eli’s entrepreneurial flair started from a young age of 12 when he bought and sold sneakers. He continued to develop a business mindset through the classes he took which eventually helped spark the idea of his own company, Habits 365. Habits 365 is a clothing brand that encourages the daily practice of positive habits to ultimately create success. Eli created an Instagram presence to market his product and to get feedback from potential customers on his products. He said that one of his biggest challenges he faced was the risk of purchasing his product in large quantities so to better understand the wants of his customers, he did market research. Eli reached out to athletes and influences to be ambassadors for his brand and he surprisingly received positive responses. With the help of influences wearing his brand, they have reached over 80,000 Instagram followers. Since launching Habits, big names like Dwayne Wade and Lil Baby have worn his brand. This is very inspiring to me because Eli initially had challenges with brand exposure but the more he reached out to influencers to wear his product, the more responses he received. Eli has big hopes and goals for his company. He believes his company presents a strong message to everybody who wants to improve and better themselves. Eli’s high aspirations and drive to grow his company is inspiring to me as a young entrepreneur. His brand has a unique mission that is relatable and attractive to young people especially. Eli demonstrates a great entrepreneur through his passion, risk-taking, and ambition.

Interesting post! Receiving and using feedback is very important, especially when you’re starting up a business in such a well-populated industry.
This is so cool! I cannot believe how young he was when he designed such an intersting business.
