Today I answer the question "What makes me unsuccessful?"

Eric Jones is a man on a mission. Inspired by his late mother's passing, he is looking to impact a million young entrepreneur's lives a month. Keep this man on your radar because he is coming in hot. I was deeply inspired our conversation. I was so inspired that I took all of my dress clothes to the dry cleaners after the recording. Enjoy!

(Excerpt from his website www.thedoctordapper.com):

"Eric Jones:

Hello, everyone! First off, I want to personally thank you for checking out my site and supporting my positive and purpose driven movement. I am the founder and CEO of LFLS Shoes, a designer dress shoe company that I launched with the help of my late mother, Gloria Robinson. I also recently launched The Outlet LA and Doctor Dapper Business Growth Academy. The Outlet LA is a platform that I utilize to host private upscale networking and social events here in the Los Angeles area. Doctor Dapper Business Growth Academy is a platform where I host a series of live seminars on a monthly basis that help you increase your income as a fashion brand, creative or new business owner.

I am originally from the small, underrepresented town of Helena, AR. Growing up, I didn't have the glamorous lifestyle that one would hope for. Being raised in a harsh environment motivated me to escape the unfortunate circumstances that surrounded me, and discover the true potentials of life. Seeing my late mother consistently working and sacrificing, but barely making it through, inspired me to venture off into my journey as a young entrepreneur, immediately after graduating from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in December of 2016.

I suffered through the losses of three very important people in my life. My grandmother passed away in 2010, my father in 2013, and my mother in 2016, just weeks before graduating from college. She was my number one source of support and inspiration and she is truly missed. Experiencing all of these hardships back to back has hurt me, but they also lit a much needed fire within me to be great and make a positive impact on the world. So today, as a 24 year old, African American male, my purpose has kept me pushing forward through all roadblocks that I've encountered on my journey.

Doctor Dapper:

I know a lot of people wonder how the name "Doctor Dapper" came about, so here's a quick rundown. I've always had a love for the dapper look since I was a child, and this love for the dapper look continued to grow over time as I grew older. When I got to college, majority of my friends admired my wardrobe and the way that I could bring different pieces together to create a unique style. Those same friends began to ask me to style them and "fix" their wardrobe to make it more tailored to the "dapper look." So, one day, it hit me! I thought to myself, "I'm kind of like a doctor in a sense, right? People visit the doctor's office if something is wrong with them so the doctor can 'fix' them. My friends visit me so that I can 'fix' their style. I'm the dapper doctor." After that day, the name Doctor Dapper was born and has suited me well ever since."
