Default Re: having thoughts on throwing in the towel

i started my company in 1999.... in the architecture field.... i left the firms after college (94-99) and wanted to build my ideas..... so i did..... i took on every project i could...... made my ideas happen..... on tight budgets and even worked for nothing just to make it happen...... i worked in construction and various trades to learn about everything related to architecture........... the past few years i tried to get a job back in the firms....... but to much surprise i was rejected due to some b.s. such as not having enough office experience or not knowing "sketchup" or some other b.s. program........... i then switched my ideas to create my t-shirt line......... last year was my first year and it went well.... this year just rethinking a few things before i relaunch the new stuff and some older designs...........

the main thing i did was that i stopped being afraid of the "what if's" and just did it..... sure i might have made a few little mistakes/etc.... but its a learning experience............. people will always talk smack about you because they dont want you to be above their level..... so forget all that b.s. drama and just start pushing your work

when i started : 2:37am : all i wanted to do is make my ideas happen....and create a product for everyone that i could...... some people light need some design/build work and some might just want a t-shirt..... but all in all, i'm making my ideas come to life........ it's alot of work ......... but it's good to see your product floating around and people enjoying your craft............

dont give up............. just make a few product pieces and build up from there..
