We recently connected with Christopher Coffer Sr and have shared our conversation below.
Christopher, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
First and foremost, remember nothings possible with out the most high. To me it’s about culture, family and aspiration. My story is simple ! Build something that a last generation’s. Build something that generation’s to come can be proud of. Let people know, no matter what background you come from, anything possible. Teach my kids anybody can be successful. Show them how to be self efficiency, self reliable. How to believe in their self’s and their vision. Life is about choices, and we all make bad ones sometimes, but you are the manger and you can over come anything . As long as you dedicate yourself.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
First and foremost you have to lead by example . You have to earn they trust, loyalty, and respect . You have to make them feel appreciated, needed and wanted . You have to show that you hold your self to a greater standard and accountability then you do them. Don’t always try to hide or deny your mess ups or faults. Remember there’s no I in team.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
Honestly I took my last $300 and invest in a few products. Started going from car washes to barbershops and any places people would gather. As I profit more , I started doing events, pop-up shops, and mall events. From Dallas, Texas to Shreveport and Bossier Louisiana. With a little more profit I invest in advertising on facebook, Instagram, google, and a lot of word of mouth. My blood , sweat and tears out of pocket, got me my initial capital.
