When did you get started with your clothing line and why?
WMG
I actually started my business in 2000. But didn't get serious until maybe 2007. I've always been into fashion. My mom is a professional seamstress and I used to help her ever since I was big enough to hand her some thread. LOL
NHIB
So you were brought up around fashion. How did you start 7Figgaz Clothing Co. and where did you get the name from? 7Figgaz??? I think I know, but let me see if I am correct.
WMG
I started my company on the living room floor. Literally. That's where I learned to screen print. I named the line 7 Figgaz Clothing
NHIB
Diddy better watch out, we got a new bad boy out. What goals do you have set for 7Figgaz Clothing Co.
WMC
My main goal for my line is to inspire people who wear it and see it to reach inside them and find that thing that I believe God placed in everyone of us to become a success. In the near future I'd like to build the brand to be nationally recognizable and profitable. Long-term I'd like to increase the things I offer from just tees and stuff to other items, then build a debt-free global brand. I want people to see that it can be done.
NHIB
So you want to be international? Will, if you could name the most important person in your life, who would it be?
WMG
My wife, no question, She is probably the only one who would stick with me through all we've been through.
NHIB
Oh Im loving it. It is always wonderful to have a supportive person backing your every move. Which shirt is your favorite shirt? Im loving all of them.
WMG
I would have to say the DARE TO DREAM...PLAN TO SUCCEED shirt. It keeps me motivated. Then afterwards the NATURAL HAIR ROCKS(tm) designs because of the story behind them.
NHIB
I love my green Natural Hair Rocks shirt. It is so sexy.
Will if you could have done anything different, what would it be?
WMG
Maybe start earlier.
NHIB
I feel you on that. I have so many dreams that I know if I would have started earlier, I would be more inclined to fulfill. I would be bigger then Beyonce right now. LOL
What type of marketing do you use? I see you all over facebook. WMG
Mostly word-of-mouth, my budget is almost non-existent so I have to be creative. But I'm good at creative, I’m fearless when it comes to marketing. I'll do what it takes to get the word out. I'm lovin' Facebook right now.
NHIB
Oh you will get there Will. You are so smart. I admire you, your wife, and your company. 7Figgaz will be on the map in no time soon. Do you have anything else you would like to add?
WMG
I just want to build something lasting and real, something that will make a difference in the lives of others. I want to make money, but not just to spend on myself, but to fulfill the goals that I believe God has given me to do while I'm here. I also want to leave a legacy for my children and their children.
I also want to thank my wife Kelly and my children for their support and my mom for putting up with me for asking her soooo many questions while she was trying to sew. LOL
