Moziah Bridges is the founder, president and creative director of his company Mo’s Bows. They are a family business that is based out of Memphis. Mo was nine years old when he founded his company. He was looking for an accessory to match his personality but could not come across anything that suited him. So with the help of his grandmother, he was able to make the first model of his company. From there on, the rest was history. He did around $55,000 in sales before being featured on the television show Shark tank. After seven months his company made close to $200,000 and about two years later made close to $600,000. He was very successful due to two traits he has, being ambitious and wise. He was very ambitious by creating a company from scratch with his grandma at a young age. He was able to get into the very competitive market of men’s clothes and continue to succeed. I would also describe him as wise by not taking a deal with the sharks or being discouraged by this. After not making a deal, he took mentorship under Daymond John and the business continued to improve. He eventually went on to give former president Barack Obama a custom-made tie in “Obama Blue,” as well as produced bow ties and neckties for all 30 National Basketball Association teams.
Throughout reading articles about Moziah, I realized how there are so many possibilities to start up a successful company. There are so many businesses that have opportunities to create a new niche where a new company could be created. This has helped me to begin thinking of new creative ways to improve current problems.
This is a very interesting story. Crazy how Mo found an object that was pretty plain and transferred it to something so customizable. I would definitely buy one of these!
