security802 686 Posted October 20, 2014 You all know the kind, not much on the way of orders year end coming soon, and well kinda think.... Is it worth trying another year at this. I know it takes time and I know there are bumps and hiccups, but lately it just seems nothing goes the way it should. The bigger orders I had last year just are not here this year. But then I crack the book keeping software and I have made more this year then last. I guess I am venting to vent as just kinda down about how things are not progressing my way. Dye sub has not launched itself like I had hoped and have not cut vinyl in a week, no orders... Thanks for listening all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djque 246 Posted October 20, 2014 Same here I'm about to switch to the holiday stuff like mugs, keepsake items, etc. I did one sub shirt and mug last week but I have a few coffee mug order for next month. I also wonder if I want to give up and keep the djing business but it doesn't get in the way and brings in my other paycheck. I have 2 orders this week one is 24 inkjet transfers and the other is 12 Vinyl t-shirts for our car wash. I have a 200 shirts order but they think im go buy the shirts. This is a person I dj for sometimes so Its a friend but business is business. I told him I need the deposit and he was like talk to his business partner so I shined that off till its a payment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted October 20, 2014 Same here EL - shutting down for the vacation and found last week that i sent a $70 decal to the wrong guy - so I pay shipping back and reship both orders . . .get the one back and it has been crushed (filing insurance on that one - will see) the replacement I sent priority last wed hasn't showed in the system since Thursday at the sort facility so I am resending the $70 again. one way or another I will make sure they get the product and I am clear to leave! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

security802 686 Posted October 20, 2014 I don't want to jinx myself but it's been one hell of a year down here. But highs ands lows are part of any business Yeah I know, just some days you get down and doesn't seem to have a way to get up. All will improve, Father always said it take 5yrs to turn any good profit. I am happy to be able to build on to the business, just wish days that it would shift into high gear quicker. Thanks all for the boost 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
