Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
The idea for Maxwell Christian & Co. came to me in Feb. 2007. At the time I only had visions of making some clothes that would fit. That eventually morphed into the idea of an apparel company that serviced various areas of the Big and Tall market. Today, I am preparing to launch my first clothing line, a brand of tee shirts. It has taken more than 2 years to get to this point, but had I not started this would be a different story. Many of us have had "the great idea", whether social, financial, political, or a combination thereof. The majority of these ideas never leave the drawing board; some feel things have to be perfect to start, some over-analyze, and others are afraid of failure. Do you know what I fear? Not trying, to look back and see missed opportunities and regrets is what I fear. To be an old gray-haired man whose life was a safe bet from beginning to end, No Thank You! Failure is a part of life, but before failure you will come across numerous opportunities for a solution. How far are you willing to go to succeed?
About Me
- PurpleGiant
- Chicago, IL, United States
- Life is too short to be small, so I have taken it upon myself to be Big, a Giant. Big is not physical, nor does it pertain to possessions. Big is the effort put forth in being a father, friend, leader, husband, humanitarian, janitor, or wherever your labors may lie. That being said, I am a driven individual with strong interests in business and people. I am a firm believer in the broadening of experiences, good friends, family, taking risks, good food, love, and finding time for yourself with a good drink. I dress comfortably, but well and want the same for other men, specifically Big and Tall men such as myself. There should be a sense of pride that compliments the stature, a desire to put your best foot forward, whether it is a size 13, 15, or 21. When you see a well-dressed Big and Tall man, notice the eyes that follow him. It is "presence" in its truest sense. This is my first blog and it has been an experience thus far. Initially, I waned back and forth about subject matter, choosing what I believed to be popular. But writing in such a manner became painfully arduous. So I had to sit still and as an old friend says, let the answer "bubble up". So this is me, Welcome.
