The first few years of 99% of companies are extremely tough. Its the persistent that reap the rewards.

“Don’t let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you’re crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you’re lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you’re greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn’t understand.” – Robert G. Allen

You see folks, business comes down to you “relentlessly” pursuing your dreams. Biz fails when you give in to the world around you, which 99% of the time, does not want YOU to succeed.

Anyone can achieve financial freedom. But you have to attain an open-mind first.

I think that it is so unfair of them to keep all the profit for themselves, when the users are doing all the work for them. They should give something for the users in return. Why are people creating designs for them? They should be part of the company too!

If I were them I wouldnâ€™t contribute!

It’s great for artists and illustrators too exposure wise. If only it were that easy though! I wonder how much it cost them to set up everything? They’re set for life!

I’ve checked out their site and I must say that I love their designs. Original and one of a kind. Very urban and cool!

Its things like this that makes others dream of wanting to have such a business of their own.

it’s a great concept as far as i’m concerned. but to make so much before hitting 30 really gets me jealous. i’m also aiming for something but at the moment i’m still very far off.
anybody here wants to be my partner?
tell me your pluspoints. we might be able to work something out. thanks

It’s another case of ‘I wish I thought of it first.’ I think Threadless is a great concept.

There were millions of other folks selling t-shirts way before these two guys so how’d they manage to get so big? Like what kicked it off in the beginning?

i like that they are keeping it independent from the big companies. i work in real estate and i blog frequently. recently it came out in the community that this indie real estate forum that i have been blogging on was suing this big company for pretending to buy them out for $33 million, in reality, copying their trade secrets and building a competing model after the indie company’s. as an user, i was pretty annoyed finding out they were selling out, not to mention the site was member-driven: member drive the seo, the membership and basically the content since it’s a blogging forum. so good for the 2 guys who are not selling out!

anyway, i agree with others, they should pay their designers more. after all, they made a lot of money off their ideas. moreover, the shirts are inconsistent. some run ridiculously 1.5 sizes smaller. and some run normal. it made ordering difficult.

That’s such an awesome idea! Each winner’s unique design becomes shared among hundreds of thousands of people over the world. Imagine walking down the street and bumping into someone wearing YOUR design! Genius.

Used to be a huge fan, in fact submitted a design (didn’t make it of course) early on and bought a couple of shirts off from there. But I agree, they gotta respect the designers more. Oh yeh, also learned that their sizes is actually a level smaller, like I’m used to getting XL every where else but from them, it was really small so I get an XXL to compensate. I haven’t been there in a while but they need to start making affordable and cool hoodies especially with the cold season coming up.
