Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify your target market. Study the competition. Hire partners and other employees. Choose the best print method for your business. Set goals. Organize your financial records. Establish your own brand.

Answer: Since the T-shirt market is already so developed now, your own business won't survive long if you try to compete with every other T-shirt business. Instead, focus on one target market or niche. Make your target market specific without becoming too obscure. For example, "funny graphic shirts" would be a bad market since it's too broad. A better choice would be something like "funny graphic shirts about cooking and baking" since that addresses a focused yet widespread target group. Learn about other T-shirt sellers who share similar a similar niche. You'll need to be able to compete with them on all levels so that customers will be willing to choose your product over theirs. Pay attention to your competitors' product quality, design variety, pricing, and customer service. Also note how they promote their products. Studying the competition isn't as hard as you might initially believe it to be. Follow the brands on their blogs and social media pages, and sign up for their free digital newsletters. Even if you're starting the business on your own, you'll probably need to hire help and delegate tasks to other people. Focus your efforts on the business aspects that come naturally to you, then hire partners to help you with the rest. A successful T-shirt business needs skilled designers and printers, but it also needs people who can make websites, manage people, and market the product. Moreover, if you struggle to manage your finances, you might also need to hire an accountant or someone else to do that for you. Even if you have some skill in each area, you will probably need to hire partners as your business grows to keep up with the demand. There are three main print methods used by T-shirt businesses: screen printing, heat transfer, and direct-to-garment. Each option has pros and cons, so you'll need to figure out which one is right for your intended business model. Screen printing is cost-effective for large batches, but it can be expensive if you want to offer multiple colors. It also works best with simple designs, and the quality can start decreasing once designs become too complex. Heat transfers make it easier to print shirts on demand. The designs need to be professionally printed on high-quality heat transfer paper, but you'll need to invest in a heat press machine and transfer the design to each shirt yourself. The overall quality is less durable than screen printing and direct-to-garment printing, too. Direct-to-garment printing creates high-quality images and makes it easier to produce small orders in a wide range of colors. The designs themselves can also be very detailed without a drop in quality. It won't be very cost effective for large production runs, though. Establishing specific business goals will make it easier for you to know what you're working toward. If you don't set any goals, you can easily become aimless and find your business struggling as a result. Set long-term and short-term goals. Determine how many shirts you plan to sell this year, month, and week. Once you start meeting your short-term goals, you can adjust your future short-term and current long-term goals accordingly. You should understand your financial situation before you even enter the designing phase of your business. Make sure that you're keeping a record of your finances throughout the entire process, as well. Keep all of your business expenses within the same bank account and credit card. If possible, don't use this account or card for anything other than your business. Know what to expect before money starts changing hands. Get quotes from multiple printers and compare cost to value. Factor in the cost of labeling, packaging, storage, and shipping supplies, too. Ultimately, the cost of production will be the key factor in determining the sale price of your product. Even if you only have two or three designs, you should still market them as part of a larger brand instead of selling them separately and anonymously. Keep the content and quality of your T-shirts consistent across the brand. Creating a brand will make it easier to advertise. Customers who purchase from you will associate the T-shirt with your brand, and might be more likely to return to your brand later or recommend it to others. Additionally, creating a brand before you start selling will make it easier to expand your business if you decide to add more designs later.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize your own personhood. Create a shrine to you. Defend your interests against others. Learn to say "no. Do something for yourself! Eat right and exercise. Take time off.

Answer: Acknowledge your feelings and past actions as valid, but decide to take a new path in the future. It is often helpful to think about everything that is unique about you and all of your personal accomplishments. Love yourself and others will love you too! Keeping a journal of personal triumphs can help you to stay in a positive, forward-thinking mindset. It also gives you good material for conversations. Most people would be more than happy to offer sincere congratulations if, for example, you've received a promotion at work. Also, feel free to include statements of gratitude in your journal. There is no one 'right' way to chronicle your journey. In your home and/or office, document your life and achievements by posting snapshots of good moments, inspirational quotes, and knick-knacks from your adventures. If you climbed up to Machu Picchu, let people know by keeping a photo at your desk. This is a sure-fire conversation starter. Studies have shown that taking ownership over space through personal items can result in an increase of positive emotion. It is very tempting to sacrifice and compromise in order to promote harmony. This 'people-pleasing' mentality is pleasant, but also forgettable if repeated endlessly. Pretend as if you are your own personal PR (public relations) agent. As such, you must encourage the positive and respond to negative attacks upon your person. Be direct, not confrontational. People often fade into social invisibility in order to avoid conflict. This is understandable, however, it can cause problems in the long term. Instead, intense situations, try to remain calm and collected and goal-oriented. Ask your colleagues, "How can we fix this?" or "Why do you think that?" Other people seeking a skilled leader will then look to you for guidance. " If you struggle with social invisibility it is very tempting to jump on every opportunity for engagement and recognition. Resist this impulse. When presented with an opportunity, ask yourself if it fits your present and future personal and professional goals. If that does not help, then give yourself one day to think everything over and to reply. This mindset puts your needs first, a clear signal to others that you are someone of importance. Buy a new outfit with matching accessories. Make a statement of individuality with your clothing choices. For example, pick a memorable or unique piece of jewelry and wear this signature piece for certain special occasions. The process of enclothed cognition means that you will gain confidence from clothing pieces that you associate with strong, powerful people. In this case, a simple necklace can be the best social armor you can buy! Make sure that you are eating regular, healthy meals. This is another area where you can express your personality and expand your social circle by joining a cooking club or even writing a food blog. Similarly, exercise does not have to be a solo endeavor. Take a class at the local gym, sign up for an outdoor exercise group, or track your progress with a support group online. All of these actions will result in greater visibility for you. As a bonus, exercise has been shown to trigger the production of endorphins, which in turn stimulate positive emotions. When you feel good about yourself, others will notice and get caught up in that exuberant feeling along with you. Every once in awhile embrace invisibility and disappear from the social scene. Not only will this make people appreciate you more, but you will also get to recharge and reevaluate your goals moving forward. This can also be an opportunity for adventure! Book a trip to a distant locale and practice your social skills by taking on a new, bold persona, even if only for a brief time.
