IT'S 2014 AND STILL ~DNA~

On behalf on Dreams N Ambitions LLC, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! 2013 was very interesting year from DNA. We definitely experienced our fair share of ups and downs.  We had some rough patches along the way but we are happy to say that we are still here and stronger than ever! It's all been a learning experience for us but, through the experiences that we shared in 2013, we truly feel ready and confident to enter into 2014.  Running a company and building a brand is not easy.  There's a lot that goes into retail which we had to learn and figure out by trial and error.  Ideas are not always agreed upon and hashing out new ideas takes patient, understanding, and commitment from everyone.  We've learned more about ourselves as individuals and as a company. Although there are many challenges, it's been quite fulfilling to see our ideas come to life. We had lots of fun sharing our vision with others and we're very grateful for all of the positive feedback and love that we have been receiving.

Being that this is  a grass root operation, we started going out into the streets to sell our wristbands and to market our brand. It's all part of the hustle but we enjoy it.  We love to  meet new people and make new friends that we can connect with.  This year we want to keep moving forward.  We have new DNA gear and accessories on the way and we will not disappoint.  This is a movement.  Our goal to inspire courage and confidence to go out and do what you we're made to do.  We will continue to motivate and inspire courage and confidence to be yourself and to pursue your dreams.  So look out for us, keep following us and remember to always embrace your DNA. We wish you all a safe, healthy, and prosperous 2014! It's still DNA all day!!

Fourth of July...The DNA Way!

M. Skrillz

Greetings everyone! I hope you all are recovering well from a wonderful Fourth of July weekend. I know a lot of people were doing all sorts of different things to enjoy their day off (unless you had to work) and to celebrate Independence Day. I myself had the opportunity to experience white water rafting with some friends, for the first time.  A friend of a friend who works out at The Ohiopyle State Park invited us to come and being the adventurer that I am, of course I accepted the invitation. Now I've heard stories from co workers and friends who have done white water rafting before and most of them mentioned injuries so I knew it would be intense. So a group of us headed to there early, Thursday morning.

  When we got there, one of the guys who I came with warned me to listen to our instructor (who was my buddy that invited us) it was going to get real! He told me that the first time he went, he thought it would be a sweet boat ride until he ended up flying in the air after bumping a rock.  That woke him right up! So I made sure I paid careful attention to my buddy's directions and I'm glad I did. Once we're in our rafts and on the water, we practiced paddling under our instructor's orders.  As soon as we began the actual course, it was on!  Amongst the paddling, fighting the currents, avoiding bone-crushing rocks, and trying to not fall out the raft, we got what we bargained for.  We hit a series of different rapids that definitely wore us out, including one called the Double Hydrolic.

  On this particular rapid, our instructor and myself were not so lucky.  We hit a huge rock which also dropped really low.  Our instructor and myself were sitting in the back of the raft so when the end flew up, so did we.  All I remember was hitting the water then spinning around like a piece of clothing inside of a dry cleaner on tumble dry. When I finally surfaced and got to smoother water, I saw my instructor, who helped pull me in onto a boulder.  Somehow, the other guys on the raft stayed on and made their way towards us.  The rest of the ride was pretty extreme but we manged to make it through.  Afterward, we headed down to the natural water slide, located in the park.  That was pretty cool. I also got to snap a couple pics with my DNA snapback and wristband in full effect.

  We chilled at the park for a little while longer, got some grub from the local bbq spot, then headed back home.  All in all, it was a great experience,(definitely want to do it again) and a great day. Hope you all had a safe and fun weekend.

DNA LLC

It's All Uphill From Here

I figured I'd give you an update on our DNA project and share this experience with you.  Right now were still at the 'building up the business' phase where we are still trying to put together all the pieces that are needed to establish a solid business foundation.  We've definitely had some road bumps along the way but I think that it has also helped us grow as a company.  Thankfully, we have succeeded in getting a DBA, and LLC and we're now working on trademarking the logo.  We got a business account set up so that's good and next we need to build a website and get some products out.  I have some new ideas that I want to try with the brand.  I'm going to take a artist dare, if you will, and put out some t shirt designs displaying artwork that inspired myself.  I think it will inspire others as well.  I don't want to give away too much right because it's just an idea but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.  I can't wait to get started with marketing.  I'm going to flood the internet with out name.  I'm going to use every source of social networking possible to get the brand name Dreams N Ambitions out there. 

DNA

 I want DNA to be known world-wide.  I think we can do it.  I'm located in the Pittsburgh area right now so I'm trying to do some research on good areas that will bring more business.  I spoke with a local small business owner in my neighbor yesterday and asked him about his business and how he got started.  He started off as an online company selling candles.  When he started, the online business was doing well, shipping from there warehouse in California while the store was set up in Chicago.  Later on, for reasons I do not know for sure, they decided to move the store to the Pittsburgh area.  He told me that you got to catch Pittsburghers while they're out at an event for for a special occasions.  He also suggested opening a t shirt booth similar to the ones you see in areas like South Street Philadelphia or Fulton Street, NY.  I think that would actually be a great idea.  I can start small with a little booth and sell different tees under my brand until we grow and can expand.  It sounds like a big dream but that's okay because that's what we're all about.  Dreaming BIG and having the ambition to do it.  We're have those tees for ya'll soon enough.  Stay tune.....~DNA~

What is Dreams N Ambitions?

Dreams & Ambitions is a brand that was created to provide motivation and encouragement to everyone who dares to chase a dream or goal. We felt that as we ourselves were just like the average person who comes up with awesome ideas everyday. Often a great idea dies away or is forgotten until someone else takes it and runs with it. Then you're left thinking to yourself, "I had that idea first" or "I could have done that too".  We all know the feeling and we've all experienced this before. My partner and I were once the same way. We always talked and cooked up great ideas but failed to act on them. Well one day we finally decided that we were going to take action and follow our dream. We decided that we were going to at least try to make our dreams a reality because anything could happen as long as you try right? So with that being said, we created Dreams & Ambitions! Our goal is to reach every person worldwide who has a dream they're chasing. We'd love for you to share some your dreams and goals with us, whether it's something that you've done and are proud of, words of encouragement, or ambitious dreams that you are pursuing for your future.  With this blog, we want it to be a channel that we use to interact with our supporters, customers, or just general audience.  So if you have ideas that you would like share here on our blog, please do.  Thanks all, peace. ~DNA~

Dream N Ambitions

Tell us what you think...

We're really excited about this Dreams N Ambitions clothing line.  The idea was inspired by a vision to represent all of the everyday people who can appreciate good clothing and nice fashion.  We wanted to come out with something different but simple.  Something comfortable but of high quality.  We want our supporters to appreciate this brand and feel good about it.  Dreams N Ambitions or DNA is more that a name brand, it's a movement. For now, we're starting off with tees, hoodies, and hats. Then, hopefully with your help, we'll be able to expand the line and come out with more items.  Which leads to my next statement. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Tell us what you think, what you like, what you don't like.   Let's us know what you would like to see in the future or DON'T want to see! We'd love to hear some new ideas so PLEASE SHARE!

Thanks guys, Moe

We want you to share your dreams and ambitions with us....

I was hanging out with my friends a little while back and we were discussing some ideas for this blog.  I want to get some ideas from them about what they would like to read or write about on this blog.  I explained to them that I want to really interact with the readers who post their thoughts on this blog but how can we do it?  One of friends came up with a rather cool idea.  He suggested we let the readers post some of their dreams that they have whether it's a dream that you are pursuing or a dream that you had while sleeping.  It's all good because we want to hear about them! Why? Well this brand is called Dreams N Ambitions right? So we want to know some of your dreams and some of the ambitious visions that you would like to see and use them as inspiration for our brand and designs!
