2 month update. Received my first batch of T-Shirts yesterday, really happy with the designs. These were printed locally while overseas suppliers are still being looked into. It's been a very slow, (for me), process so far, as someone who wants to get stuff done right away. Extremely...

Are you a Cardone fan? I'm just starting but going as hard as I can. I just had a new idea today. Instead of a To Do list, where you have important priority and less priority stuff, and you try and get through as much as possible, I made up a Must Do List. That is, I will not go to sleep...

That's some stiff opposition, but I hope the market is big enough for both of us :)

Hi OTF, I think it's a bit of both. I have an existing gym equipment supply business, and this will supplement it. However, they are quite different as I'm now finding out and the existing biz won't really provide much carry over advantage for this venture. It was really a challenge arising...

Because I made a decision and committed to it. This experience is an example of commitment to follow through. If I don't fully commit, I would not be forced to put in my best efforts to make it work. I think testing and trialing things is just an out, to make excuses when things don't work...

Nothing to show just yet. At this stage probably another month away. I was really frustrated at the start, as things were going much slower than I wanted, but have now accepted that these things take time and unless you control all the other services you need to rely upon, there's only so much...

Still going man. It's been 30 days since starting and I've put in an average of 3-4 hours work every single day, except 1 day in the past 30 days, but I'm thinking of ideas all the time and am alert about it all the time. It's been a big challenge and much slower than expected to launch...

Thanks chindonly, This is really testing me. Been going hard in planning for the past 2 weeks, but now starting to have doubts again when going over initial purchase quantities. My plans for initial purchase is T-Shirts, singlets, hoodies, shorts and pants. Rough figures on just T Shirts...

Thank you Sir. I'm still here after 10pm on a Saturday night researching designs for shirts. Probably put in about 70 hours so far in the past 2 weeks in to this project outside of my normal business operations. This is the most pressure I've been under in a very long time, maybe ever, as I...

No way, I'm a self funder. But maybe, as one of the investors/backers in a few years time.... Never watched the show but have seen a few epsisodes of Dragons Den.

The market may have lots of existing suppliers, but plenty of room for more. They all started somewhere, and over time, those who do not keep growing may drop out. Got to be in and get established to take advantage of future opportunities when they open up. I believe marketing techniques...

7 day update. In no particular order: Created a brief plan/schedule of events to launch. Set up an eBay account. Set up a Twitter account. Set up a Facebook business page. Transferred inactive website domain name to a new host. Hired a freelancer to develop a landing page. Hired a freelancer...

Sure you can do it with a low budget. Start small, build up slow and do more work yourself. Use all the free resources available on the internet to get maximum exposure. I'm trying to get this thing going fast so I have to pay more for outsourcing work and pay higher for initial stock...

I'll let you guys know the process as it happens. So far, still brainstorming the plan and putting the strategy together. The idea was only really born 2 days ago, there is a lot of work to do.

Primarily the challenge, to test my potential. Everybody has potential well above where they are currently at. I used to think mastering the 4 hour work week would be cool, although I never attempted it. Now, I realise it would be insane to limit your potential so much by approaching work...

Own brand, trademarked recently. In the words of my current mentor/inspirer: Don't compete, Dominate. Even though there are obvious big players in the market place, I need to approach this in a way that I'm not looking to keep up or even compete with them, but get out there enough to...

No problem. I'm not saying you're being critical, but any criticism, negativity and doubters are highly welcome and probably required. The 25k capital required for product is probably a little low, may have to bump it up a bit. The money is not a concern. The main issue is that I'm scared of...

One thing to note, money is not a motivator in this exercise, although it is a nice side effect. It's purely about setting a goal, out of ones comforts zone, and accomplishing it. I'm definitely not comfortable right now mentally, a quite stressed actually, but remain positive and confident...

100k is just a figure that gets thrown around alot, nice simple figure. My aims and efforts will be to net a mil, which seems absolutely crazy and unbelievable at this stage, but once the realisation that it is possible sinks in, the actions will follow. Momentum will build. Time will tell.

Hey there Navid, Totally new website built from scratch. Totally new product line. Basically, building something from scratch primarily for the challenge of creating something from nothing. What I need to bring is some initial start up capital, hardwork, total commitment and a whatever it...
