Thanks so much for posting this honest take on the focus, effort, and time necessary to build a brand. I've been successful in the vintage clothing arena but am about to jump into deeper water with my own clothing line. Two things have been slowing me down: the idea that I need everything to be perfect and the fear of failure. Seeing this video reminded me that we all make mistakes on our various paths and that failure at one step or in one venture does not need to define us. I wish you all the best this year and again thanks for being so real here
Got a business plan for a city based brand in the fastest growing city in the Union. I feel so confident about the theme that it markets itsself without me trying
This is really great man--as someone who has attempted to start numerous businesses myself and finally have something working, I like that you're both very introspective and willing to call yourself out (which I know can be hard!) as to why things didn't work out. I will say that yeah, you're in a very competitive field, and it's tough.
@@badkingclothing first time is always scary. We got some good advice to stand up and make yourself seen and don’t be afraid to talk to people walking by.
Very interesting video! It was nice to see the inside the minds of young entrepreneurs. I know this rebrand will lead to great things and this business and community will grow because of it! ❤
Hi, I really like your guys‘ clothing style, I’m also doing a new brand, may I ask where do you guys find those kind of clothes? And I’m wondering how did you guys price your products?
Prices depend on what it costs to make the product and how much of a profit margin you want to make. When you say where to find those types of clothes do you mean the shirts we print on or like other brands? Thank you for liking our stuff, always means a lot when someone says they like it. Best of luck with your brand!
@@yuanzhenwang3962 I do them all myself, it’s pretty easy with turbo tax although it costs like $70. Track all of your expenses like a hawk and keep all receipts
Hey guys I’m a new brand owner, you guys didn’t really touch on how you lost your instagram account? Was it hacked? I’m new to all this and not very tech savvy, apologies if this is a dumb question!
The EFFORT is really the issue here... The whole essence of business is to learn as you build... "ok our content wasnt professional" - lets learn to make professional content "our website didnt get sales" - ok lets learn conversion rate optimisation. while I admire the honesty i truely do. I think this video could have honestly been summarised as we didnt care enough about it. Which is normal and theres no shame, sometimes you get into a business only to realise its not for you. Lots of beginners get into clothing exaclty like you thinking its smooth sailing.... You are competing with a founder whos working 12 hours a day just to get a tiny slice of that market. Passion, purpose and discipline is what sees the small ones break out. Even with all that it's not guaranteed
Very insightful comment. We didn’t put enough effort into the things that were failing and didn’t try or focus hard enough on those things. We take a step back and come back with more knowledge than when we started.
@@skeesh330 Still a great experience to see what you really value. There's no way of knowing until you try. We're all trying to figure out our passions in life. So I commend you both for even exploring the possibility.
Hey i just saw youre video if you still check the coments i would appreciate if you would respond for i would love to have a chat with you guys. Im also building my own brand but strugling a bit with the identity itself and much more
please invest in mics, i wanna hear about the topic, interested in this but can hardly listen to the full video. not trying to be mean, mean it in a good way
Absolutely! We have mics actually, but none hooked up in that location. Appreciate the feedback, was considering using some for next video now we know to for sure go for it

Great video. I love Alex Hormozi as well. "LATE GREAT" usually means dead physically or in the eyes of the public.

Yall are going to go far just by realizing these key things. Much luck to you, see you at the top..

Appreciate it man really. I wish you the best of luck in your business ventures!
thank you for posting! never give up, it takes lots of money but having good graphics is key😊
thank you guys for the honest video. This is also where my anime clothing brand at rn. Started 8 months ago and already failed :(
No need for the sad face king. You did what other won’t do and like we mention in the video, you learned a lot of lessons from it.
Thank you guys for sharing, I've been planning on selling in person but I'm terrified, because of some of the same things you guys went thru.
Selling in person is a ton of fun and every event we went to is always a blast.
@@skeesh330 Honestly I think I'm more scared of the crickets 😔 once I do events. Like no repost, no traffic, just dead silence.

@@skeesh330 Thanks a lot, and I have another concern: how did you guys deal with taxes? Do you have a hired accountant or something?

GOOD VIDEO MAN
How do you find the funding you need to start over? Thank you. It’s a great video by the way.
We’ll be using what we had made from the business on top of personal funds.

Good video quality if you find a good audience to target you might get blesed by the algorithm
