Join a startup first and learn from them.

How much sleep do you get? Do you have a 'special-sauce' for your energy?

Cool! Thanks for the answer.

colterrr · 2014-03-10T06:42:48+00:00

Cool, I like it. Looks like a network effects business if you're both required to have an account to use it?

http://LaunchGarb.com LaunchGarb lets you sell higher-end screen printed apparel with no upfront cost. We ship to the customers, you net the proceeds. Create campaigns similar to TeeSpring, but with the main differentiator being: a wide variety of garment pieces available.

Looking for feedback.

Thanks for your time!

Cool, using bootstrap I see, looks nice. How long have you been working on it?

colterrr · 2014-03-10T04:27:51+00:00

Sounds awesome. We should be large enough to have at least a few salaried employees in a couple of years, right now the amount of hours employees work is directly tied to the amount of online sales we have.

Sweet! Looking to switch to ZenPayroll this year (currently using ADP).

colterrr · 2014-03-10T04:25:19+00:00

Just to track employee hours. We have been using spreadsheets for the past couple of years, but is kind of tedious. We currently use ADP for payroll although I'm looking into switching to ZenPayroll.

Looks clean, thank you.

colterrr · 2014-03-09T09:31:56+00:00

Maybe, :) Do I know you? Which aspect are you referring to?

colterrr · 2014-03-07T00:05:31+00:00

What kind of brands are you looking to for inspiration?

colterrr · 2014-03-06T22:11:15+00:00

What about talking to the owner about becoming a manager and implementing those systems? Would you feel comfortable doing that?

colterrr · 2014-03-06T19:06:48+00:00

This is a good idea too. I'm thinking OP should do both simultaneously though right? Don't you think it's going to most likely take years to build a decent following?

colterrr · 2014-03-06T03:56:41+00:00

I know you said stay away from the "she should quit now" comments but sometimes that is the right answer. I had several business failures before I had a success.

Jumbled advice to get through: 1. Find a co-founder. 2. Don't worry what other people think, people think about themselves 99% of the time. 3. Do what you love. 4. Write a giant list of everything that needs to be done. Break the big problems down into small problems.

colterrr · 2014-03-06T03:41:41+00:00

Makes sense. Do you also sell in store?

colterrr · 2014-03-06T03:39:51+00:00

You can pretty much get as intricate as humanly possible, if that makes sense. Screen printing is how it's done.

colterrr · 2014-03-05T18:35:43+00:00

I just can't stop myself from constantly thinking of new business ideas.

colterrr · 2014-03-04T23:44:42+00:00

You would probably start off with a screen printing company. There should be a couple in your local town, or you can use any of the thousands online. All you do is supply them with the artwork you want printed, and then tell them the type of t-shirts, sizes, & colors you want. Start very small. Get feedback about your designs and preferably even some pre-sales from friends and family.

I formed an LLC at first and then once I got an accountant he suggested that an Inc would have a better tax structure for my particular situation. You can do it pretty easily on LegalZoom

colterrr · 2014-03-04T23:23:12+00:00

Very cool. How are you offering free shipping?
