I'm currently reading the Unscripted : Escaping the Rat Race book. Sorry, but it seems to be a rehash of the previous Unscripted book. But I don't mind. I like to have audiobooks playing in the background.

In this book, there's a scene where "Jeff" orders a bunch of custom tee-shirts.

And his wife "Sam" berates him for doing that. Didn't you read the previous Demarco books I gave you? (transcribed) she says.

Here's the crazy thing. After I read Millionaire Fastlane , I ordered 100 custom printed tee-shirts (hoping to sell them at the Sturgis rally, I live nearby). I still have most of them after 6 years. I discovered that the tee-shirt stalls don't take tee-shirts from random people. They have their own pipelines.

This is making me wonder if there was some advice in Millionaire Fastlane NOT to do tee-shirts and I somehow ignored it.

Break it down for me please, how would the information in Millionaire Fastlane be a proscription against doing custom tee-shirts (and if you can find information in there that WOULD support custom tee-shirts, please share that too... thanks... )
