Dream Taylor-Davis shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Dream, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me looks like waking up, going to Pilates, getting on calls with my mentees, going to the beach, creating content for my brand and exploring different cities.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a 24 year old store owner, consultant and the founder of 1026 (Ten Twenty-Six). I started my first brand when I was 15 in my sophomore year of high school. I always knew from a young age that I wanted to be an entrepreneur and by 15, I learned how to turn my passion for fashion into income with my first online business.
What started as custom pieces and a small boutique has now rebranded into 1026, a lifestyle and activewear brand that’s quickly growing into one of the most recognized. Our highly anticipated first brick-and-mortar location is set to open in 2026.
What makes 1026 unique is that it’s fashion that has a deeper meaning. 10/26 is a day that changed my life forever and it also represents the angel number 1026, a reminder to trust in divine timing and that everything happens for a reason. 1026 is about gratitude, alignment, and turning setbacks into blessings.
Along with building 1026, I consult and mentor other aspiring entrepreneurs, helping them turn their passions into profitable businesses.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My first memory of feeling powerful was in high school, when I started my first business after teaching myself the ins and outs. Making my first sales and creating income as a teenager showed me what was possible and gave me the confidence to keep going and keep building.
Another memory of it would be at 19, when I was able to move out of my parents’ house and get my own apartment through the success of my business. At 23, I reached another milestone with my first house and dream car after my business hit six figures. These moments showed me that consistency, focus, and determination can truly create the life you dream of and allow you to live on your own terms.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes. There was a time I almost gave up on my business when I had to take time off and sales got low. Instead of quitting I focused on marketing & a new strategy, and within the next month I hit six figures. Since then, I’ve been able to consistently maintain five-figure sales every month, and it reminded me that setbacks are often setups for bigger wins.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
God is always guiding us even when we don’t understand it in the moment. I’ve seen how rejection and setbacks in my life always turned into redirection and blessings. That’s why I built 1026 around the idea of divine timing, because I know everything is working out exactly the way it’s meant to.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I’m traveling, exploring the world, and experiencing everything life has to offer. Those moments remind me to make the best of life and be fully present in every moment.
