My wallet hurts today! So I've been struggling with keeping up with my workload, And there's an awesome new service called Merch Ready. Which lets you buy T-shirt designs, Not only are the designs made for you, But the keywords and bullet points are written for you as well! The designs look amazing!

This gives me an opportunity to "buy " a few days off making shirts.
With the program, I'm in Merch by Amazon. They offer me personally 20 slots a day, And If I don't use them, I lose them. I am currently in the 1,000 tier.

My wallet hurts today because of I went crazy. Merch ready is like a Website on Black Friday everytime they upload designs because they are bought so freaking fast.
For the last few weeks, I was only able to get a couple of designs. But this week I scored big. Every week I about have a damn heart attack snatching everything into my cart and quickly checking out.

This week I scored 112 designs! # I got 3 Bulk Packs and About seven singles.

I loved all the designs I got.
Now I have to go through the tedious process of uploading.

I Spent Over $1,000

On designs just today!
So it's a bit concerning because my shirt business is still not making much.

But I Don't care

Sure, I could have bought a mini vacation with the 1,000. Bought me a cute purse or high-end make-up.
But five years down the line, What the hell does that do for me?
The purse would probably be worn out from use; It would have holes, The makeup would probably be gone. Or Almost gone.

What do the shirts do for me?

The licensing involve giving me 100% of the rights. I own the designs! They are mine; I can edit them to make more designs (I usually do that to give myself a bigger bang for my buck) I can use the designs on TONS OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS! Shirts, Mugs, Blankets you name it!
On a variety of different websites!!!
So yeah, I spent 1,000 today.
But I bought 112 New assets. Those assets may generate me 1,000 each overtime, Who knows!

Invest in yourself!

There's nothing wrong with buying nice things for you to enjoy! I spoil myself with new makeup, I don't buy the 1.00 makeup, But my foundation I wear costs 7.00 and I have a 4.00 Mascara I've had for a few years. I bought my cute purse used for 15.00, and it's a 60.00 Vera Bradley bag.
It's kind of funny, Because when it comes to buying myself stuff, I still go for nice things, But less pricey as well!
But when it comes to my business I am happy to invest, Or with my knowledge, Or health. I'll splurge.

Before you buy something, Think about how it will change your life. Sometimes we don't need those fancy shoes and such. Go for quality over quantity.
Try to collect more "assets" in your life!!
Those 100 shirts would have taken me hours to make. I used a resource that I can replace; Money. And got something irreplaceable: MORE TIME!
