This is very inspiring Randy! I am in this boat right now! I started a clothing company right out of college back in 2013. The competition is incredibly fierce and we just couldn't compete with the likes of Guy Harvey, Southern Tide, and Southern Marsh.
I have recently started a trash company that I am working on growing from the ground up with $0 of invested capital. Things are still moving slow, but every day is a grind! Being around like minded people is incredibly important!
Most startups fail even with money. If you can't manage time with no money how will you do it when you have money?
Amen! You are spot on there!!
