Yep I’m launching my first ever creative business in April.

What can possibly go wrong !!

You pick a design that’s unique to my business (TT) and wear, watch, view, gift it in many different ways.

Of course it has a USP but I’m keeping that back until we launch when it’ll be obvious.

Total investment so far about £1k - I’ve always bootstrapped.

If it can survive now then think how well it will go when things improve.

Cheers - the actual business model is to be an — investment broker selling proven financial returns on a capital NFT based purchase - however I’ve no idea how to do that so I’ll learn as I go.

Could be huge could fail - only one way to find out.

Exactly !! So I’ll dumb it down and flog T shirts until I can tell my arse from my elbow.
At least I’m honest ;-)

No, what I mean is I don't understand it, it's way above my head. But I wish you all the best, and will follow with interest.

It’s above my head to be honest I might sell before the NFT phase.

Just so you know, Virgin Media blocks your website.

Good Luck mate!

Just had a look on your Linked In and cant see the business, what is it?

Still need to catch up with you soon, I was going to buy you lunch and pick your brain wasn't I?

Not strongly on my LI until we’ve a few more designers onboard / TattooTees.co.Uk - it’ll be fully finished this month.
