3 Steps to Getting More Accomplished at Home

Starting a T-Shirt Business

The fashion industry offers multiple avenues to generate income in the T-shirt business. Beyond designing your own T-shirts and also wearing the hat of your #1 salesperson, consider creating a design hub for people who don’t have the creative talent. Offering custom designs from their ideas or utilizing your own creative juices and selling designs to T-shirt companies. Consider yourself the “tattoo artist” of the T-shirt industry. This is one of the many alternatives to creating your T-shirt business, rather than absorbing the costs of creating and selling a product from the ground level. Although, if you do choose to embark on your vision to see your product make it from idea-to-market, remember “Customer is King.” You can’t live without them. Clearly define who that customer is, what they want, and what price they’re willing to pay before you create a single shirt.



The fashion industry does not welcome new designers with open arms, contrary to perception of the wildly popular TV show, Project Runway. It’s well worth the due diligence of researching this competitive industry to reach success through careful preparation.

Biting the Hand That Feeds You

We have all heard the expression “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. I think that most of us attempt to live by these words. We come in to work on time, clock in and out when we are supposed to, and we do what we have to do to preserve a relationship with the powers that be. After all, they are the ones who hold our jobs in their hands right? They are the hands that feed us right? They are putting food on our table’s right? Well, “yes” and “no.” That maybe the case at this present moment, but that does NOT have to be the case as we head into the future. The hand that feeds us should be our very OWN! In an effort to preserve relationships with our bosses we have neglected ourselves, our abilities, and our gifts. We have been train to depend on food from strangers instead of feeding ourselves.

Author Bio: My name is Eric Alexander Martin. I was born in Richmond, VA. After finishing high school in 1995, I enrolled in the College of Engineering at North Carolina A & T State University in Greensboro, NC. In 1999, I graduated with a degree in architectural engineering and have been working in the architecture field from 1999 to the present. About 3 years ago I had a strong desire to start an association called “The Whale’s Association”. The name originated from the uppermost tier of “high-rollers” that come in and out of Las Vegas casinos. This association was a support group for people who were passionate about following their dreams and succeeding in life. As time went on, I wanted to help more people and to have a greater influence on the world around me. My team and I started feeling less and less like a small association and more like a full blown movement! One of my truest passions in life is to help other people pursue and fulfill their dreams. I decided to turn this passion into my life’s work and on April 22nd, 2009, DreamU, Inc. was born.
