Eli Zied is the founder of the clothing brand Habits 365. Eli has the mind of an entrepreneur from a very young age. When he was 12, he started buying and reselling sneakers which then eventually lead him into the clothing industry. At the age of 15 Eli started a few different streetwear lines that eventually formed his brand Habits 365. Eli said that one way he learned was following and watching what other companies were doing. He would watch what other companies would do on social media and started developing ideas of his own by taking what he saw other brands doing and adding his own ideas into the mix.
Eli’s motivation for Habits 365 came from his passion to create a lifestyle brand. Meaning a brand that had more of a social impact that promoted a positive way of life. He wanted to draw people’s attention to their habits and remind them how important it is to have good habits. Since these are things, you do every single day he wanted to remind people that bad ones can have a huge negative effect in their lives, and they should try to change bad habits into good ones.
Eli started designing the brand logo, clothing designs, and took to social media to start building his brand presence. Eli really took a leading role in the startup of his business, and I think this shows great entrepreneur characteristics. He tackled each piece of the puzzle that came up and successfully created a brand with a positive reputation that represents his original message well. Habits 365 started to spread by word of mouth and social media and any other ways Eli could get the name of his brand out there. Today Habits 365 is still doing well and Eli has not stopped developing and improving his brand into something unique and special. I think it is cool to see a young entrepreneur doing his best to spread such a positive message.
