It takes a dream, hard work and balls
Most of us have a dream of what would we do if we wouldn’t be working for “THE MAN”, but few of us actually take the bull by the horns and peruse that proverbial bull; Today I want to talk about someone who did.
Cavata Clothing Co. was born out of a dream of a really young entrepreneur, that once asked me: “What do you think of this idea?” to which I replied with my common saying of “you got nothing; so you got nothing to lose…” Right out of College, starting Grad School and her first real job, she decided that she didn’t only wanted to run her own business, but she was going to have fun at it, and give back to the community.
They make trendy T-shirts that encourage music and art for people of all ages. As part of their marketing campaign and company mission they give 10% of their revenue to music and art programs around the State of Massachusetts, as they in their website: “Creating A Voice About The Arts…one tee at a time!”
I encourage you to go and take a look at their products, but mostly to take a look at your dream or idea and ask yourself: “What do i have to lose?” If anything you will gain the experience you will never gain at your 9-5 job.
Kudos to Cavata Clothing Company and this young busy entrepeneur; another company that started as a what if, and its still on business doing well and growing. Visit Cavata at www.CavataClothing.com

It takes mental strength and courage to start your own gig – especially if it is on a full time basis. It does because you have to put some investment — be it in time, money or both — with uncertain results. On some societies risk tends to pay off better than in others. In America it used to pay off very well. Favorable labor conditions have made gainful employment so comfortable that it makes it doubly difficult to get rid of the safety net and launch your own business. Those who launch their own business, despite the comfortable alternative of full time employment, have my admiration.
