Prince Flood: Student Businessman

The world of business can be difficult to maneuver, but for junior Prince Flood, it poses no such challenge. Flood started his business in late 2023, offering a variety of clothing, including hoodies, shirts, and sweatshirts. For a price of $50 to $80, you can get custom designs that range from quotes to animals. 

When asked if he had any inspirations and people who first helped him begin, Flood said, “My mom and dad. They helped me figure out how to find manufacturers and brands.” 

As a student in marketing class, Flood was asked about the influence of the class on his work. “Marketing has been a lot of help. It teaches you a lot about how to get your product out there and different ways to sell to certain target markets,” said Flood. He also explained that the class taught him how to properly sell his product, expand his business through social media, and promote his clothing. Flood credits much of his influence on running his business to marketing class.

Flood spoke about his end goal: “I want to be successful enough to the point where I don’t have to worry about anything financially.” He expressed a clear desire and determination for personal and financial success.

When asked for advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, Flood said, “Just do it. Don’t let other people get in your head with their ideas. If they say something looks bad, then it’s just their opinion. You can’t let people get in your head, you have got to do what you want to do.”

    I fully believe Prince´s mentality has what it takes to make it where he hopes to be in the future as well as his creativity. It´s admirable to see his individuality show through his art/clothing.

    I agree with what Prince said about doing your own thing. Sometimes people try to tell you what to do and that your opinions and ideas are awful, and you just have to realize that not everyone is going to see things the way you do, but it’s the people that do that matter.
