I’m one year into the business. Still afraid to create a website or ETSY. I do custom embroidery with one multi needle. But you are spot on with the promises made to myself.
What are you afraid of? You do realize no one is watching right. Are you afraid to let yourself down? You are letting yourself down by not trying. The truth is you have to fall to get it right. You can’t get it right the first time. You have to Learn what not to do so you know what to do. You can’t learn any of that being afraid.
@@adubbproductions Oh you are a motivational speaker also?? LOL! Thanks so much for the response and you again are speaking truth. I’m working on the website today!! 👍
This morning this popped up in my phone..." (Daily scripture) Hard work should be done with God in mind and not man. As we seek the favor of the Lord we must always commit ourselves first to God. When we put Jesus at the center, everything else comes together - and this includes our workplace activities." -CHUUCH❤
@@williamwashington5287 You might have to make them an offer they can’t refuse, give them insensitive. You might try asking the what their budgez fit the project is. If they have a reasonable offer take the job do they can see your work. Sometimes its better to have a little coming in than nothing at all. You should try again. Try a different approach this time. Maybe a different strategy.
2:33 I would agree with that, marketing is not my thing. My sales have picked over over last 2 years but it could be better if I put myself out there more.
One thing we can do is, engage in more pop up shops. Another is give out free merch with your name in the tag portion. Actually, a lot of people are surprised to know that I do t-shirts, etc.
I’ve been getting some orders from friends B2B but truthfully I want to focus on social media to expand in the new year. I’ve been afraid of getting more business than I can actually handle with just one DTG machine and one 15 needle embroidery machine. One job at a time is not where the money is so I’ll be posting both for businesses a lot more and saving for new machines 🙌🏾
Mine isnt the work we have or havent put in - ours is the equipment itself - the Luminaris 200 white toner printer - it is junk - we are on our 3rd one and still havent made proper money from it - the first two printers were lemons and tech support could never figure them out - now our 3rd one is acting up and we have just about given up on it - right now waiting on tech support to get back with us about it - 3 days and nothing...
@sherriwilcox6916 100 percent right. That's a huge part but another prat is getting off social media and shaking hands and building relationships. So much business meeting people in person. It's just different in-person. Social is a huge part of it but it can't replace real life human interaction.
That’s where I lack I post on my impressive prints TikTok page and ig but still don’t get any major traction,I’m more of the creative side not too much on the engagement side
Hey how you doing my boy just feels like you a friend now I be watching all you videos.. I am still having problems with my digitizing. Just feels like I need Croma lux . For some reason on the classic satin it don't let me curve the letter I tried doing everything holding the shift button down.. and not to mention I got the vision printer and got my self in to dept and haven't even printed one shirt . Right when ready to kick off my business my car took a crap on me me. But thanks for all the tips .. I feel like if I start taking order and not being able to digitize it correctly... I'ma send you a thing so you could digitize it for me its a car club shirt but my software don't allow me to add double satin and split line... Yea I told my mom about you and the box you made for the tools yea you be putting inn work.. iam in a wheelchair gee but I be doing everything I can do this word won't beat me down. you an inspiration for all of us...
@@adubbproductions that's where the samples that you take with you come in even handier. They see what you do leave them two samples big past one on to the next guy and hopefully get you some business.
Question for you. I'm a government employee and I have some patches that I'd like to get sewn onto some backpacks. I already have the patches and I already have the backpacks. If I could FedEx ship the backpacks and patches to you, would it be possible for you to simply sew (or heat press) them onto the backpacks for me? I'd be able to pay via government purchase (credit) card. I can send this request to you through an email OR via your website if that's the most appropriate way for this kind of inquiry. Been following you for a while and I'd like to offer you a bit of business.

Amen. 🙏🏾
Truth is i got discouraged and stopped. Problem is nobody wants to pay..my prices are reasonable. They just don’t want to patronize me

No better time than the present to apply ourselves like we should be.

Having a plan like you is always better than flying blind. Good stuff.
You nailed it!!!!!
Thank you
You are hitting the nail on the head.
I think this os true for a-lot of people myself included.
You talking good!!!!
I may need to utilize your DTF service for a project i have coming up.
Im ready when you are. Adubbproductions.com
Truth, nobody can stop you but you. So get ahead you got to move
@@whispasoft So true.
I was so on it from a simple heat press and some HTV and now I have a 15 needle embroidery machine and then just got so unmotivated
Sometimes we see progress and growth and get complacent. Im guilty of that.

Gotta do better at marketing esp social media

We have been sending some DTF orders to you - still have more to send over just waiting on artwork approval
Can’t wait. Im doing next day turnaround.
Some great motivation here dude!
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it.

Sistars?
i was about to thumbs down, but 2:50 in you're 100 % when you say "you made a promise to yourself" so true
@@calilifestyle We all did. We all made promises to ourselves when we swiped the card.
good work
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Ask for referrals from the companies that you do visit.
@@whispasoft Fantastic idea. Ask them to pass your information along. I like that.
@@adubbproductions that's where the samples that you take with you come in even handier. They see what you do leave them two samples big past one on to the next guy and hopefully get you some business.
I'm not gonna lie i haven't been even trying
@@loveoverfame it’s like that sometimes. I’m guilty of it too.
