I think it is safe to say that most nine year old kids are not at recess scheming how to start a business or improve their fashion sense.  Moziah Bridges was not the average nine year-old.  At that age he was known to trade rocks and toys for bowties from other students.  From a young age he had an acute fashion sense and an eye for bowties.  This fashion sense and drive led him to start his own business at the age of nine out of his family’s home in Memphis.  Mo’s Bows was founded in 2011 and has since grown from just making bowties to neckties, and other similar apparel.  Mo’s Bows have even been worn by NBA players on draft night which is just a small example of the influence of his creations.

Moziah’s thought processes and method show his entrepreneurial tendencies.  One of the key traits that stands out about Moziah is his ability to identify problems.  When he was young he could not find a bowtie that fit what the style he was looking for.  He had his mind on a specific style for his outgoing personality.  Instead of settling and just wearing any bowtie Moziah decided to make his own.  He was presented with a problem and instead of settling for an unsatisfactory solution Moziah solved it with his own resources.  Over time people began to take notice of his bowties and that is when he decided to start his business and really work on his ideas.  Moziah is driven by a desire to make people look and feel good.  He wants to create products that give people the confidence to achieve their personal goals and be the best person they can.  Mo’s Bows has given Moziah the ability to dream big and he has sought to spread that mindset to others through his fashion accessories.
