Meet Terrance Watson | Small Business Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Terrance Watson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Terrance, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my own business is rooted in the saying “If you believe it, you can achieve it.” I believe in the power of the tongue, which means if you speak something into the universe, work hard towards it, eventually it will come to fruition. Case in point, during the early years of the development process to make Klassic Organizer a tangible item I annotated my Facebook profile to reflect I was an Inventor and Online Business Owner. At that time, I was still pursuing the patent for my design through the USPTO and working with a manufacturer to build my product. To be honest, until I received my patent from USPTO, I hadn’t actually invented anything and until my initial order was filled by the manufacturer I had nothing to sell. Never the less, I claimed my status as an Inventor and Online Business Owner. I knew my patent would eventually issue to validate my claim and my initial order of product would arrive so I could begin sales and truly be an Online Business Owner. Taking the leap to start my own business entailed research every step of the way, aligning myself with mentors and being disciplined until my goal was achieved.

What should our readers know about your business?
Klassic Organizer LLC is primarily a small online business. I currently sell on Amazon, Etsy and I also fulfill my own direct orders. Klassic is set apart from others in the fact that I sell a luxury item where the focus is on quality and is comprised of a durable construction that will stand the test of time. There is no other product that affords you the ability to organize these essential accessories in a single location. I’m most proud of the fact that I was able to take a concept I envisioned and developed it into a tangible item that is now available to the world. Inventor is a term not to be taken lightly. An inventor introduces something to the world that previously did not exist. I’m excited about the opportunity for growth for Klassic Organizer. We are new to the industry and are still in our infancy as a brand. We are where we are today because of perseverance, dedication and discipline. The journey has not been easy and many challenges remain. We launched in the midst of the Covid pandemic and still to this day contend with high inflation and gas prices. Many lessons have been learned along the way and new ones are still being realized as we move forward. One of the most important lessons learned is to fully vet others and become fully aware of their previous performance. The world should know that the Klassic brand has arrived, it’s here to stay and we will continue to grow this business. Allow us to help you “Organize In Style”.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If a best friend was visiting the area and we were looking to have several options of things to do, we would head north to ATL. We would go to the Midtown area where there are a variety of great restaurants, entertainment, bars and options for shopping. This central location of the city affords the opportunity to be within reach of all the points of interest Atlanta has to offer. There are endless options for nightlife, professional sports of each type and even historical sites throughout the city. It would all depend on what they would be interested in seeing. Of course there are the staple of must see attractions such as World of Coca Cola, Centennial Olympic Park and Georgia Aquarium if they opt to visit them. The bottom line is if there is an idea to see or do just about anything, it will be found in Atlanta.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Although there are upwards of at least twenty named individuals who have been integral to the success of Klassic Organizer coming to fruition, I have to reserve my “Shoutout” to my immediate family who believed in my concept and believed in me enough to support such a monumental endeavor. My beautiful wife and two daughters have been instrumental in all facets of making this dream a reality. If it were not for their support, my idea would never have grown to anything more than that. Other key players along the way consist of my Patent Attorney at Global Intellectual Property Agency, LLC, my manufacturer liason at Dongguan Wiselion Packing Co., Ltd, Mr. Sheffo for mentorship on numerous business startup points. There are many other friends, small business owners and acquaintances who assisted along the way and they know who they are. Many thanks to all of you once again. I would be remiss if I did not mention the book Rich Dad Poor Dad which many years ago propelled me to become involved in Real Estate Investing. That in itself provided me the leverage to finance the Klassic Organizer concept.
