Massive Success Vs You

You can live a life of a massively successful person in your 30s, when you are only destined to make your massive success at the age of 50! Take a disciplined approach towards your goal and you will soon realize micro/macro success (monetarily), people's respect (for the person you are or for what you're building) and a lifestyle that accommodates lavish. Achieve this and you are already living a life of a highly successful person. Your success could happen when you are 30 or 40 or maybe 50. Quality of your life remains the same through out if you lay the foundation right. I want to lay a foundation that takes me to success without unnecessary struggle.

Learn from my mistakes Part 1

When you see opportunity you quickly grab it by its balls (or trump's version). That is how I looked at things when I wanted to start a teespring's version of selling customized merchandise in India. I was playing around with teespring platform back then, selling tshirts in the US and I was so excited about doing it in India before others catch up. I did all my market research on how to set things up and found out source codes that can help me build teespring like interface quickly. I had a very little money saved up from my previous job and I decided to invest everything into this little project. Quickly bought the source code and found a developer who could customize and build it further. Because the source code I acquired was built on zend framework it was a little difficult to find a guy with expertise on zend, who also fits in my budget. Hybrid entrepreneur: Once I set things in motion it was consuming much time to put it all together because developer guy I hired was ...

Take advantage of your jumpy personality

Changing course often hardly takes you anywhere. But what when your personality is all about getting bored easily when you are taped to one project for a while..and always wanting to try new things? When everybody around you makes statements like "you won't take any thing seriously and keep jumping projects..what's wrong with you!" ...you might even start feeling strongly that it is a problem. I realize now that it is not a problem. That's what you are! It's your personality. Living your life otherwise causes you deep dissatisfaction and emptiness. All you need is a cushion to feel comfortable and do the jumping. By cushion I mean a cash cow that makes money every month to cover your lavish lifestyle expenses and more. When you jump after the other you won't bleed money and save an heart attack for people who are involved. Set a course...hold on to it until you can start milking it and make it your cash cow. Now is your time to feed your personality! Tr...

Progress Update! DEC 2015

When i first created this business plan i was looking at the board and thinking.."Well i have so much to accomplish..and there's no time left!" i was struggling for around 4 months on teespring + Facebook to make something work. I was waiting for that one campaign that's gonna make so much money for me to comfortably scale this business. The ultimate plan was to make money from teespring and put that into teefry. Teefry needs loads of money for development (even registration is not done yet!). Finally after 4 months of struggle i found that one campaign that's bringing in decent profits..actually not one but two! Now when i look at the board it makes me realize..we need better upgrade for this plan. We have outgrown the basic plan! Vision is solid and growing strong but plans are changing. Better plans for teefry to thrive as a company much sooner. So excited for the year 2016!
