gcextreme 475 Posted November 10, 2015 Nope don't do it full time yet, maybe in a few more years. I started my business just doing decals. Then it spread to shirts and htv apparel and hats. Then it went to etching. And then Dye Sublimation. I accumulated so much stuff, i had no more room in my house...and the wife wants a baby, so i had to invest in a small store front. I'm only open a few hours monday-thursday, then all day fridays and weekends, as i have a 2nd shift fulltime job, 2-1230 M-Thurs. So with limited hours, its hard to grow my business..but its growing slowly. A few walk-in customers a week, and a few big orders now and then...barely affording to keep the place open, but thankfully my fulltime job helps with that. Eventually when the wife and i find a larger house, i may move my business back home.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 17, 2015 Little late to the party but this is my bread and butter at least for now since I'm relocating and selling the business and building. It is doable but it takes a determination that many people just don't have because lets be fair a paycheck comes every week like clockwork but customers don't always work like that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
