We had the good fortune of connecting with Trinity Rivera and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Trinity, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The thought of starting my own business all started with me buying from small businesses & noticing how high the prices were and the customer service was terrible. So I began searching for vendors & thinking about things I wanted to sell. I had lots of help between friends & family. They helped me with my name, inventory, prices, item pictures, and shipping! Starting a business seems as it’s a 123 step but it takes a lot of thought in the process.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
DestinyX Co is a lot different from other small businesses. We try to sell different things, have affordable prices, and reach a certain audience. How I got to where I am today is consistency & passion… I never gave up even when things became slow sometimes or times where I was really busy and not being able to focus on my business due to school & extracurricular activities. It was not easy at all to get to where I am today because having a business has its ups & downs between vendors, usps, & customers at times. I overcame all my challenges with some help receiving advice from other small businesses & family.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would show them a few food spots such as Bistro Cafe, Kekes Breakfast, Chick N Cone, Midnight Cookies & Cream, Cherry Smash, and Holyshakes!! I would like to hangout in the FTL or Miami Beach area. The most fun things to me are very relaxed… I like to sit on the beach and paint with my friends because it’s very peaceful and a good way to get your mind off things!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My family & a few friends who also have small business definitely deserve a little credit and recognition behind my business because they helped me with things I couldn’t figure out! Between where to get packaging and item pictures they helped me A LOT.
