(Sponsored by GRAPHICS PRO EXPO) Aaron and Terry will be sharing some tips on what to do (and not to do) while dipping a toe into the decorating business on nights and weekends. Most of our listeners are already decorators, but we want to hear your side hustle war stories as well. Who knows? Sharing your experience might be the difference maker for a future decorator looking for a little help along the way.
Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants or lectures or selling. We are not doing this for our employers, but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!

Starting a Side Hustle Decorating Business
Get Educated – Even with just a part-time side hustle, learn to do it right, and learn to produce quality products.
Create a Business Plan – Aaron, go for it!! 🙂
Find Your Niche – Your hours and minutes are limited. Laser focus your attention on a specific niche to maximize your potential.
Start Small – I don’t mean limit how much money you make, but for efficiency with your limited time also limit your product offerings and processes.
Charge Like it’s Worth it! – Some home based businesses, especially side hustle businesses, don’t think what they do has value. It is! Plus, if dreams come true and you turn this into a full-time business, it’s hard to tell all your customers that you have to start charging real prices now.
Family/Personal Time – Be sure to block out time for family, friends, and to recharge.
