How NOT To Start A T-Shirt Company

Thinking of start a t-shirt company?You might want to read about my experience before continuing.

My name is MJK Ariful Islam Arif and two a half years ago my fiance and I started  t-shirt company
named Amomious.Well, rewind a bit future.From a very a young age there have been two thing that interest me
more than anything else.Art and entrepreurship.Two of the most conflicting ideologies when it comes to trying to make a living if you'r
here,I'll assume that you,at the very least, share onr of those two qualities.Howover most of you probably share both.

I realized that designing a T-shirt was a lot like painting on a blank canvas or drawing on a fresh sheet of paper
There are restrictions,as there are with any art medium,but for the most part you have the freedom to do what you'd like.That enticed me.
What I failed to realized is that slapping some ink on a Shirt And blindly creating an attractive website doesn't equate
to a solid business plan and ongoing Sales.It's a mere fraction of what it took to start and run a t-shirt line.

I'm not here to tell you how to keep your new.fledging brand afload.That is something that i do not have experence with.What i am here to do though is explain how.

Rule #1:Think!

*Note:None of these are in any apecific order.Take from them what you will.

Think,This is probably the most important.And obvious.But we ddn't,Oh!we wanted to won a business.We thought it should be t-shirts.We even thought of a cool
,trendy name with a pretty neat message ("you're different And so are we.")But we didn't THINK about anything that would be
involved.We envisioned drawing up a whole bunch of designs,Creating a fancy website,and selling a million of them.There are so many nuances to owning
any business.This one is no different.We were flat out wrong.We thought about nothing inspirnation is easy,but it's also dangerous.Inspirations can cause spur-of-the-moment decisions.Let
thinks soak in,but on the flip side,don't battle yourself.Theres a fine line.Watching a video like the one below was something that pripelled us to makecertain decisions we probably werewn;t ready make.

Rule #2: plan Everything

It's hard to watch the video above and not feel like you can take over the world with your little doodes and
vecctor images.The fact remains that companies like Dad,cool,papa etc are one in a million.
They find fame through luck and bounch of other outlets that aren't necessary available to the average person.
That's not saying shouldn't try or expect great things.But you shouldn't expect them right away.
Theres a difference.

This is where planning comes in.From day one ,keep your pen and handy.Write down absolutely
everything.We thought we were writing down everything.We weren't,We were more worried about
organization and looking the part than we were actually cariing about the important things.
A business plan isn't a joke.To this day.I still don't know how to write a real business plan.Ut that's okay.you
don't have to.You can figure it out.there are plenty of online resurces and templates that can help you out.I
stumbled across my *business plan*from.Anomelous only a few weeks ago.It's half done.Very indicativeof why I'm writing this and not
filming artsy videos

You
I'm not here to tell you how to keep your new,fledging brand afloat.That is something that i do not have experience with.
