GF: Just trying. I don’t have any rule on it. Just intuition. I have a color book I bought 9 years ago, and I just play with the colors from there. That’s all. Now I’m changing my palettes, and using different ranges, and I’m having a lot of fun with my new colors.

When you’re ready to put custom logos on t-shirts, there are some things you should remember. First of all, the sky really is the limit. With screen printing and embroidery, you can get just about any design you want on a t-shirt, sweatshirt, polo shirt, or jacket. What you must remember is that the larger and more involved the design is, the more you will have to pay for it. That might convince you to go a bit smaller with the design, or you may determine that the logo you have is exactly what you want.

So apparently, Palmer gets an idea from the heavens, and as The Force flows through him and onto the paper, his hand moves on its own accord (Colin swears he’s seen it happen!). Well… maybe not exactly.

E-books about your area of expertise can make you lots of money. eBay doesn’t let you digital download anymore. But if you feel like burning some cd’s of e-books and Acttee info books you created, this is a good road to take. Information is a number one seller on eBay. Find out what you know best and help people by writing an e-book. You might even create a million dollar e-book.

It’s simple to create your own design. You can use a word processing or publication program to create words or designs or simply use you school, team, or company logo. Think about what you want to convey. Do you want to personalize your t-shirt with your name or a title (such as Bride or Rock Star)? Find the font you like and type it up. To design your own t shirt with a company logo is even simpler; because you can upload or e-mail the t-shirt company the logo and indicate the size you want the design on the t-shirt.

You have to be willing to sacrifice your personal time, energy, and money, in the hopes that one day it will pay off. We’ve sacrificed time with our five sons, family vacations, more energy than we thought we had, and lots of money.

“Each office and individual salesperson was using a different company for various services”, Ms. Kahn recalls. “We had no corporate accounts.” With her fresh, outsider’s perspective, Ms. Kahn was able to get hefty corporate discounts from Edward Fields’ various suppliers. The research and negotiating skills Ms. Kahn honed at Edward Fields became the foundation of her cost management consulting service, AMK Associates.
