my business is failing (1 Viewer)

I paid for my order almost 2 months ago and have received nothing. Not complaining, just saying stuff like that might have something to do with it ;)

Not cool considering you're his BIL.
I know, right!

In MC's defense he did volunteer to add more to the order than I paid for, and I am sympathetic to the lack of time due to the new job starting.. just saying, this isn't the best customer service and that's important no matter the scale of the business, in fact probably more so the smaller you are. You won't win referrals that way.

 
well, if i ever want a shirt with some winged dude holding a giant sword attacking a ###### demon I won't know where to go once you close down....

This weekend it will be done for sure.

No, my day job.

He ordered a custom drawing and then out of nowhere I was offered this job which eats up 50-60 hours a week.

Ive been chipping away at the commission on weekends while trying to run household errands.

Did you receive an ETA?
It would have been done in 1-2 weeks tops if I didnt get the day job.
This is not the answer that customers want to hear.
No ####

This will be the one and only commission ill do

SO assuming you're sleeping 6 hours a day, you've got 126 hours a week of available time.

You're working 50-60.

You've got orders for a business you've dumped much of your money into and went ahead and printed CEO business cards for... yet they're languishing for 2 months now?

The way i see it is you've had ~3600 non-working / non-sleeping hours over the last 2 months to sketch a customer's drawing, but you're too busy posting 50 times a day here about spending money you don't have on exotic meat you don't know how to cook?

Color me shocked that your business is failing.

Some advice for you.....When you just have one customer you should probably take care of them.

 
I just know if I was 2 months behind on an order and your excuse was "I haven't had time", then I noticed you were posting 30-40 times to this message board... I'd prob go ahead and ask for my money back.

10x is being much nicer about this than I (or most customers) would be....

If you can't do commissioned work why is it advertised on your website?

It isnt that black and white when you are doing an art commission for someone. It requires time and the proper concentration to get it done.

That is why artists are frequently late on their commissions.

Im not going to send anything other than the best work I can give him. I wont just shovel crap out the door for the sake of getting it done.

Because at the time I didnt have a day job.

Ill have to change it. Im in no rush though because nobody looks at the site anyway

The next time you wonder why your business fails read that post again. That attitude is also why you'll always have a crap job that pays nothing.

It isnt that simple.

If he wants his money back he can have it or getvthe finished piece soon along with merchandise thrown in because I was late

If it was sarcasm, then why haven't you changed it yet? I just clicked on the website and it's still there. You keep posting here when you could use that time to update your website. :shrug:

 
All I'm hearing is "blah blah excuses, blah blah excuses"

Dude, shutter the business. You're not ready. Stick with shlepping for the man... it better fits you.

So what are you talking about?

I am not having issues with time management because of any attitude problems.

At best I get a couple of hours on the weekends to work on it. I chip away as best I can.

Im inexperienced at running this business and im learning, as well as a full time day job. I am not being lazy I am just swamped.

 
There was a great post he wrote out telling McGarnicle he was jealous of all of MC's success and that he didn't even have any student loans to pay back yada yada yada... I wanna dig that one up.

all right brohan so i looked at your shirts you can draw really good but they are probably not for the old swcer they are a little trippy for a guy like me if you made some that just had crazy words on them that might sell like hotcakes like if you just has a shirt that said mountain dirt or some other random combo maybe it would catch on with a big industry like i could seek hikers saying man you have to get that mountain dirt shirt it is the in thing for hikers this year who like to go on mountains that have dirt you do not even need to worry about cutting me in bromigo i just want you to succeed and be happy take that to to the bank

 
So, could i get the winged dude bare ### naked? i really want to see a chiseled butt on him. And could his sword look more dong-like?

 
I don't see much potential with just those 3 designs. If they are going to be special art piece designs you are going to need a lot more to choose from with varying subject matters or else the chances of you hitting it big in any demographic is slim to none. I'd buy a shirt if you had a design that appealed to me, and could guarantee 7 days or less shipping. Not holding my breath, surprised it made it this far.

Urban Outfitters prolly sells shirts that look dirty. I should get some and tell people I was hiking.

He posted from his phone. Still doesn't explain why he hasn't updated his website in the past few months since he started his "day job". :shrug:

No it's not. You have a full time job and that's your business--the tshirts are a hobby.

Drop the LLC for now, take care of your existing order(s), continue letting it develop as you can handle it.
:goodposting:

You went in too gung-ho and overconfident. Learn from your mistake, but there's no reason to pack it in unless you've lost faith in your abilities.
