Pivots: The Secret to Extraordinary Companies! Building a company is a journey, not a straight line. The original idea? Just the beginning. It's the pivots, the strategic moves, that carve out success. 🔄 What makes a successful founder? The foresight to spot new opportunities, the agility to adapt, and the courage to make decision—these elements fuel growth and triumph. When plans falter, don't waver. Keep your goal in view and adjust your methods! Markets shift in a heartbeat, and while big corporations struggle with rapid change, your startup can thrive. 💡 Pivoting isn’t about perfect timing or data; it's about making bold decisions. Consider these iconic pivots: - Netflix transcended from DVDs to streaming 🎥 - Slack from games to team synergy 💬 - Instagram pivoted to photo-sharing 📸 - Pinterest evolved from shopping lists to idea collections 📍 Creating a pivot-minded company is crucial, especially for startups. It unlocks new markets, boosts customer happiness, and sparks innovation. 🌟 Becoming a leader means growing into vision and bravery for necessary pivots. It's challenging, yet thrilling. Tell me your best startup pivots below!!! Me trying to pivot my awful golf game 🤣 #livideo

One year ago, we took a leap of faith and launched Houston Apparel Co. ✨ Time flies when you're having fun, right? 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. Let me take you back to a moment that defined our journey. In the early days, there was a massive order for a construction company. 🦺 Picture this: stacks of samples, endless designs, and a deadline that seemed impossible. The clock was ticking, and I remember our team gathered around, staring at the mountain of work. 🕐 The silence was broken by someone saying, “𝗪𝗲’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆.” Little did we know how true that would be. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙚. Just when we thought we had it all under control, we didn't. Panic was an understatement. But in that chaos, something beautiful happened. Our team rallied together like never before. 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. The laughter that echoed in our workspace wasn’t just about keeping spirits high—it was about building a bond. A bond that saw us through the toughest times. And when the order was finally complete, we didn’t just deliver products. We delivered a promise of quality and dedication. This month, as we celebrate our first anniversary, I look back at that project with a smile. It taught us to embrace challenges with humor and resilience. 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴, and their faith in us fueled our passion. We have had sweet client moments that warm the heart. ❤️ Like when a client sent us a thank you note written by their team, saying our products boosted their morale. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤. As we look forward to the future, we carry these lessons with us. The struggles, the laughter, and the victories have shaped who we are. And we're just getting started. To everyone who has been part of our journey, thank you. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝘂𝗻, 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.

𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙯𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜—I embarked on a journey that was as unpredictable as the industries I serve: oil, gas, energy, and construction. Starting a branded workwear business from the ground up was never in my original plan. With each challenge, I found a new way to innovate, to adapt, and ultimately, to succeed. Reflecting on these years, I see how my corporate experience prepared me, but it was the leap into entrepreneurship that truly defined my path. The oil, gas, energy, and construction sectors are not just industries; 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘺. Understanding this, I committed to delivering not just apparel, but solutions—products that withstand tough environments while promoting 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. Here's what I've learned: Listen more than you speak. Tailor solutions, not just products. Embrace change as an opportunity, not a threat. Build relationships that last beyond a single transaction. Every stitch tells a story, and every design is a promise. To those considering a similar leap into entrepreneurship, I offer this advice: 𝘿𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙖 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨; 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙘𝙮. And never underestimate the power of a well placed logo. Your brand is more than colors and fonts; it's the embodiment of your values and vision. At Houston Apparel Co.. , we take this to heart, ensuring every piece reflects the quality and dedication you expect. Let's turn your vision into wearables that work as hard as you do. Join us on this journey where quality meets innovation. Together, we'll not only meet expectations but set new standards. 𝙇𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚.

In this episode, we go beyond metrics and milestones to explore: ✨ The power of leading with clarity and conviction  ✨ How to grow your brand without losing your values  ✨ The difference between a great strategy… and a lasting one  ✨ Why the story you tell internally matters just as much as the one you tell the world If you’re building a brand, scaling a business, or stepping into leadership - you don’t want to miss this conversation. Because what’s behind the logo?  Vision. Values. And the kind of leadership that lasts. 🎧 Tune in now and get inspired to build with both strategy and soul.

Unlocking innovation often starts with an unlikely conversation—𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮. The other day, I sat down with a friend who thrives in an industry that couldn’t be more different from mine. We’ve known each other for years, but this time, our discussion took a turn that was nothing short of revolutionary. We started by simply catching up, but soon found ourselves diving deep into the nuances of our respective fields. What followed was an exhilarating exchange of 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀, and 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘀. We talked about everything from flame resistant clothing and the evolution of corporate swag to her world of tech innovations and sustainability practices. 🦺 It was like uncovering a treasure trove of ideas that I never realized were applicable to my own work in promotional merchandise and custom apparel. 💡 The real gem of our conversation was discovering how 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 our challenges and solutions actually are, despite the vast differences in our industries. For example, her approach to sustainability gave me fresh ideas on how to incorporate eco-friendly practices into our custom apparel lines. Meanwhile, I shared some creative merchandising strategies and branding insights that got her thinking about new ways to enhance her 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴. I walked away not just with a list of actionable ideas, but also with a broadened perspective on how to innovate and 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲. It was one of those moments that you rate a solid 9.3/10, purely for the sheer inspiration and excitement it brings. 🤝 But the secret to making such conversations truly impactful lies in building them on a foundation of trust and mutual respect. This ensures that you’re not just exchanging ideas, but genuinely absorbing and considering each other’s perspectives. It’s this trust that allows for vulnerability and honesty, key elements for true learning and growth.

🌸 I remember a particular Easter morning a few years back. My two kids were eagerly hunting for eggs in the backyard, their giggles echoing through the air, while our two dogs chased them with tails wagging. Amidst this cheerful chaos, I had a revelation. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙡, 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙩𝙝, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨. Just as spring breathes new life into nature, it offers us a chance to reassess and rejuvenate our own endeavors. At Houston Apparel Co.. , we embrace this season of renewal by reflecting on our journey and expressing gratitude to our clients who have been an integral part of it. Each project is a new egg in our basket, waiting to be discovered and nurtured into something extraordinary. We are thankful for the trust and opportunities you’ve given us to help your brands blossom. 💐 This Easter, let's celebrate growth, renewal, and the strong connections we’ve built together. How do you plan to embrace the spirit of renewal this season? 🐣🌼

✨ Just ask already! ✨ Whether you’re looking for a favor, a promotion, a sale, a referral, or even a job interview...

Have you ever noticed how often people are willing to help or say 'yes' when you approach them with sincerity and confidence? It's incredible how much support is out there, just waiting for you to tap into it. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸? Taking that first step and asking the question can lead to connections and outcomes you might not have imagined. Being proactive in your approach not only shows initiative but also demonstrates that you’re serious about your goals. Whether it's growing your business, expanding your brand, or simply seeking collaboration. The world is full of potential allies and supporters eager to share their insights and lend a hand. Remember, every successful entrepreneur, leader, or creative professional has been in your shoes. 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮.

🔁 Stop rewinding that dream of changing the world. Your fresh business idea? Might not be the next big thing. 🔮 It hasn’t skyrocketed for a reason. Try something normal, even if it’s not a passion magnet! Observe the world with clear eyes and seize the chance to excel in ordinary tasks in extraordinary ways. Kickstart a business, polish your skills. Master the art of hiring, firing, and managing. Become a selling sensation. Forget the fast track to wealth. Become unstoppable and let wealth snowball with patience. 💎 Aim for steady cash flow over venture capital adventures. The hustle culture? It’s pulling your strings. Wealthy folks excelled in standard stuff. No fundraisers, apps, or flashy tools necessary. Pursue something classic and low-key, then watch the fortune build. 💼 What are you working toward?

Confession time, fellow mompreneurs 🙋♀️ Once upon a time, I was caught in the endless cycle of 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜, and trying to map out 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 tiny detail before making a move. I wanted everything to be 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 before taking that leap. 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿? But here's the breakthrough lesson that transformed my approach to business and life: Real progress happens when you're in motion. 🌟 Perfectionism, while often stemming from good intentions, can be paralyzing. It keeps us stuck in place, waiting for the perfect moment that never actually arrives. But when we take action, even imperfectly, we begin to build 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙢. And it's this momentum that uncovers real opportunities for growth and learning. Remember when you first learned to ride a bike? 🚲 Did you master it by reading about it, or by actually getting on the bike and pedaling, despite the wobbles and falls? 𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚. In the world of branding, merchandising, and entrepreneurship, every moment of action sets the stage for new insights and innovations. By moving forward, we create space to adapt, pivot, and discover strategies that resonate with our vision and audience. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲. What might seem daunting from a distance often becomes manageable, or even effortless, once we're actively engaged in the process. Each step, no matter how small, brings us closer to the clarity and success we seek. So jump in! 🚀 Embrace the unknown, because it's where the magic happens. 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿, and 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮. Action sets the stage, skills build the empire. Who else is ready to leap forward, learn on the go, and turn visions into reality? 𝙒𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨!!! #TheApparelGirls

We battled selfdoubt, wrestled with Imposter Syndrome, and questioned our own capabilities. Yet, we pushed through. We embraced the discomfort, knowing that growth rarely happens inside your comfort zone. We planned, strategized, and sometimes stumbled. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. Our vision was clear: to make a mark in the custom apparel and promotional industry by delivering 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲. Fast forward to today, as we stand on the brink of unveiling our latest venture, our hearts are full of excitement and a bit of nervousness. We’re thrilled to finally share this with you during the Offshore Technology Conference. Every step has been a learning experience. Every challenge, 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙣. And every success, a celebration of perseverance and determination. So, to anyone standing at the edge, contemplating a leap of faith, here’s our advice: Embrace the discomfort.

Fast forward to today, and what a whirlwind it’s been! 🌪️ 𝘗𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴: Two mompreneurs with a vision, diving headfirst into the vast ocean of enteprenuership, armed with nothing but ambition and a phone that buzzed incessantly. In these few months, we have had the privilege of partnering with a Super Major in the Oil and Gas industry and a large University. 📚🛢️ 𝙔𝙚𝙨, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩! Each day brought new challenges, new connections, and a new appreciation for the power of networking.

We finally made it happen, and it was definitely worth the wait. ⌛ There's something uniquely energizing about transforming those virtual connections we've maintained over countless LinkedIn messages. Today Venessa Homewood and I had the pleasure to share a cup of coffee with Leigh Haas. Leigh was EXACTLY who I envisioned her to be in person. 😊 Smart, fierce, relentless and passionate about her new endeavor. It reminded me, once again, of the value in nurturing our professional relationships 𝙗𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙢. When we step away from our screens and meet in person, we're able to communicate more 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 and 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. There's a layer of depth and understanding that can only be achieved through these real-life interactions. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Each meeting is a chance to learn, grow, and see things from a fresh perspective, which is crucial in our fast-paced industry. I'm grateful for these opportunities to connect on a deeper level with peers who challenge and motivate me. Here's to more meaningful meet-ups and shared experiences that not only enhance our business endeavors but also enrich our personal lives.
