I predict that the customer demographics and psychographics that I will cater to will vary greatly. I an8cipate that I will hold many different posi8ons in the industry that cater to many different types of people. The demographics and psychographics are somewhat unpredictable. However, if I had to narrow it down, I would say that I would cater to customers who are fashion oriented, reside in urban loca8ons, and have a disposable income that they like to spend on the finer things life has to offer. Regardless of the type of customer I encounter, I have to remain genuine, confident and secure in my role as a leader.

Many people desire the same posi8on I do, which means I have to stand out from the crowd in order to realize my dreams. Another challenge is remaining focused. As with anything in life, tempta8on is always present. Tempta8on to succumb and act unethically is very relevant in the fashion industry. Other threats include the economy, supply and demand, and the advancement of technology.

I want to be known as a successful leader, smart and savvy business woman, and an all around genuine person. I see myself as a communicator. I strive to be open and honest. In a cut-throat and money hungry world, I believe that maintaing an even keeled frame of mind will bring much success as a leader.
