Today we’d like to introduce you to FELICIA MIRAMONTES.
FELICIA, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Hello! I’m Felicia Miramontes, the proud owner of Blessed Up Motivation LLC. I started this company with a simple yet powerful vision—to provide motivational and faith-based designs on T-shirts, accessories, and drinkware that inspire and uplift. My goal was to create products that not only look great but also serve as a reminder of strength, faith, and positivity.
As the business grew, I expanded our offerings to include custom logo merchandise for other companies, helping them express their brand identity through high-quality, meaningful designs. What began as a small passion project has transformed into a thriving business that helps others spread positivity, motivation, and faith in unique and creative ways.
At Blessed Up Motivation, it’s all about bringing inspiration to life—whether through a motivational quote on a T-shirt or a custom-designed mug that carries your company’s logo with pride. I’m excited to continue growing and bringing people the products that encourage them to stay blessed, stay motivated, and keep pushing forward.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The journey hasn’t been entirely smooth, but every challenge has been a learning experience that has shaped the business into what it is today. When I first started Blessed Up Motivation LLC, it was just me, a vision, and a lot of determination. One of the biggest struggles early on was figuring out the logistics—finding reliable suppliers, learning the ins and outs of design, and navigating the technical aspects of printing on different products. It felt like a steep learning curve, especially when trying to balance creativity with business operations.
Another challenge was building a customer base and getting the word out about the brand. It took time and consistent effort to establish a presence, particularly in a competitive market. I had to figure out how to differentiate my brand and make sure that the message of motivation and faith resonated with people in a way that felt authentic.
Like many small business owners, there were times when finances were tight, and I had to get creative to keep the business afloat while continuing to grow. There were moments of doubt, especially when things didn’t go as planned, but I kept pushing forward because I believed in the mission of the company.
Today, I’m proud of how far we’ve come, but I know that every business faces struggles and obstacles. It’s about finding solutions, staying resilient, and continuing to adapt. The road has been challenging at times, but it’s also been incredibly rewarding. It’s all part of the process of turning a passion into a thriving business that has the ability to inspire and make a positive impact.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Thank you for the opportunity to share more about my work! I’m Felicia Miramontes, and I’m the proud owner of **Blessed Up Motivation LLC**. My business specializes in creating motivational and faith-based designs for T-shirts, accessories, and drinkware, which not only look great but also inspire and uplift people. Over time, I’ve expanded my offerings to include custom logo merchandise for other businesses, helping them brand their identity with custom, meaningful products. Whether it’s a T-shirt with an empowering message or a mug with a company’s logo, my goal is to create products that inspire and spread positivity.
What sets **Blessed Up Motivation** apart from others is the strong foundation of faith and motivation behind every design. I aim to create products that do more than just serve as merchandise—they are reminders to stay strong, stay faithful, and keep pushing toward your goals, no matter what. My passion is in the details, and I work hard to ensure that each piece reflects the message of encouragement that drives my business.
I’m also currently in my sophomore year at **Purdue Global University**, working towards my Associate’s in Business Administration with a focus on Entrepreneurship. The journey through school is providing me with the tools and knowledge to better manage my business, and it’s been incredibly empowering to apply what I’m learning in real-time to the growth of **Blessed Up Motivation LLC**.
In addition to my business, I’m incredibly proud to have recently started a **nonprofit called Diamonds in the Rough Journey**, dedicated to serving at-risk youth in Orange County. This nonprofit is a cause close to my heart, as I’ve seen the impact that mentorship, support, and encouragement can have on young people who are facing significant challenges. Through **Diamonds in the Rough Journey**, we work to provide these youth with the resources and guidance they need to overcome obstacles and achieve their potential.
What I’m most proud of is seeing how my business and nonprofit are both evolving. It’s an incredible feeling to be able to provide motivational products that inspire others, while also giving back to the community in a meaningful way. It’s the combination of my passion for design, my faith, and my desire to make a positive impact that drives me every day.
Ultimately, what sets me apart is my dedication to creating products with purpose and meaning. I’m not just focused on selling merchandise—I’m focused on inspiring people to live their best, most motivated lives, and using my business and nonprofit to make a difference in my community.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
I am incredibly fortunate to have had a strong support system throughout my journey, and many people have played a significant role in helping me get to where I am today.
First and foremost, **my grandparents Andrew and Christine Archibeque** have been my biggest supporters. They have always believed in me and given me the opportunity and encouragement to become the person I am today. Their love and guidance have been a constant source of strength, and I’m forever grateful for their unwavering support.
**My Auntie Melissa Amaya** is my biggest cheerleader. She’s always been there, rooting for me every step of the way. Whether it’s a tough day or a big win, she’s there to lift me up and remind me of my potential. Her belief in me means the world.
I also have to give a huge shout-out to **Tara O’Connell-Moreno**, who is not only my mentor but also my “mama bear.” She’s been a guiding light in my personal and professional life, offering wisdom, advice, and encouragement whenever I needed it. Tara is also the Vice President of **Diamonds in the Rough Journey Inc.**, and her passion for supporting at-risk youth aligns perfectly with the mission of the nonprofit. Her mentorship has been invaluable, and I’m so fortunate to have her by my side.
These individuals have been essential in my journey, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without their love, guidance, and encouragement. They truly deserve so much credit for the person and the business I’ve become.
