I remember almost two years ago, I started this business, with a twinkle in my eye and high octane gasoline in my veins. I was excited, scared, nervous all at the time. I remember thinking of all the cool shit I'm going to do, all the millions I'm going to make. Ha Ha, almost laughable now, looking back. Now, it feels almost as routine as getting up to brush my teeth: Get up, look over designs, ship an order or two, respond to emails from potential retailers and leads...then of course go to work ...

Because I am older, I am now sort of ashamed to say that I read those two stories in a cubicle, ...

I was just on my twitter account, where I do a lot of networking and a bit of marketing and I look at my followers. I have a very low amount of followers. Most people look at that and feel ashamed or embarrassed. I don't. F$#k I have to be embarrassed about? I act as if I have a 1,000.

For those on here that know me, know that I am in the clothing biz. It's a tough ass business, if you let it. It's actually kind of easy once you have a method and a vision and stay consistent. I obviously ...
