NAICS: 448 Clothing and Clothing Accessories Stores Description: New and recycled fashion |
| I've been around business people all my life literally. My parents own many businesses including Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair. I am also a business student. I always knew I would work for myself. So I just picked a business that I felt would make me happy going to everyday and would be profitable! And for me it was easy because Fashion is my Passion! My goal was to open a store that people would love because everyone could come in and afford something on any budget. I literally have shirts, pants, dresses for $1.00 |

NAICS: 453 Miscellaneous Store Retailers Description: Airsoft Retailer Store |
| My initial goal was to make lots of money to take care of people around me. After fully engaging in my business, my end goal is to become (which we are) and stay as the largest airsoft retailer in the nation. I’m loving what I do and what we offer to the airsoft community. There are lots of regulations and import laws on products coming from foreign countries and my mission is to sell such products to airsofters without having them go through all that trouble. |

NAICS: 711 Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related Industries Description: Recording Studio |
| With recording, it was a passion and an interest of my interviewee; He wanted to do something within the music industry. He didn't care if he was even just going to be selling records, but being a audio engineer and the owner of a recording studio put him even closer to the action. He loved the creating aspect. He was also interested in the fast-pace: negotiating; appointment-setting. Record label, booking shows, watching shows and performances, networking and promoting. His goal was to start his own business and get paid for making music; have enough money to stay afloat; But he realized after they started that they could get talent, that it’d be better to start a record label. Because he was just an Audio Engineer, but opening a service job business would open other doors to capitalize on. |

NAICS: 311 Food Manufacturing Description: Family owned Ice cream Business |
| My partner has always had a passion for making ice cream it was something he enjoyed doing since a young age. Several people enjoyed the ice cream that was made for family gatherings. So the original idea came from the positive feedback from our family and friends. Our intial goal was never to make a huge profit, yea thats a bonus, but it was rather to serve people with a product they have never had before. Give them something something different and new that you cant just get anywhere. It was about serving people with good quailty tropical ice cream. |

NAICS: 812 Personal and Laundry Services Description: Barber shop |
| To tell you the truth, I never intended on becoming a hairstyles. I always wanted to become something else. But as I went to take my girls to get their hairs done and I saw my sons getting their hair cuts I thought to myself I can do this. Why keep wasting hundereds of dollers each year when I can earn hundreds of dollers. Now I knew that it wasent't going to be easy at first but I had face the challenge somehow. My initial goal was to one day have a chain of saloons everywhere, but so far i only have two. Its still good and i enjoy what im doing but I hope that one day i can get another one open. |

NAICS: 812 Personal and Laundry Services Description: Hair Salon |
| I chose to become a stylist because I love creating. I chose to open a salon because what I wanted in a salon environment (as a renter) it wasn't available. I wanted to offer a space where people could not only look great when they left, but get the services done in a relaxing environment. A place you would feel special not feel like a dollar sign. |
