    How to find local millionaires willing to mentor you for free?

    EXECUTION 
    Don't think about what they can do for you, think about what you can do for them. I get plenty of requests time to time, if I were to help every one then I would have to give up my work. Honestly speaking, most of them time its just simple one or two lines, oh I started business so can you...

    It all depends on you and your personality. Obviously creating a brand from scratch is really hard and long work, distributing products that has good potential or already established is comparatively easier. I am a natural creator and I enjoy creating new things, so its fun for me to create...

    Now, when you mentioned plain tees, does it means its blank tees without any of your print? If it's just a blank tee then they are being silly as they don't have to produce anything, they should have these tee's already made. However, if they have to print your design and do customisation then...

    All of our goods comes from Bangladesh and other countries, and we do have to pay customs tax. So I guess it will be same for China too.

    MINDSET 
    Looking back now, I would certainly have a system in place, would try to automate things and would certainly hire people or outsource. Because system and automation in work is what allowing us to do more than what we could have before. Getting more people gives us more capacity, this one is...

    AMA - Ask me anything on sourcing/importing from Asia..

    SOURCING AMA 
    The answer is yes. It certainly does. I know we are all involved in internet marketing, buying and selling on internet etc. But do not forget the power of face to face interaction.
