Raising "the kid" vs. Starting a Business

It has been a long time since we have posted anything and we have good reason……LIFE!!!  Who knew one kid would encompass everything you do and require so much attention, and on top of that trying to start a t-shirt empire, where does the time go.  There have been numerous similarities in starting the business and raising “the kid”:

  1. Both require constant attention
  2. You are learning as you go
  3. Both are an experiment in patience
  4. Both are a labor of love
  5. Both can be draining
  6. You love them one moment and you want to drop them from a hot air balloon the next
  7. Both cause you not to get as much sleep as you want
  8. Each gives you ideas for the other
  9. You wonder what life would be like without them…..pretty damn sad

Some days I grit my teeth and complain about “the kid” in silence, but he is the best thing that has happened to me and the inspiration for the business, and his daily ramblings and everything I want instill in him give me the ideas for next t-shirt designs.  

I get through each day knowing that the next day has something better in store………………………….sounds a like there is a t-shirt design somewhere in there.
