Great to see others in the trenches as well. Keep going!

can you please share the edge slitter link for the laminator? Thank you!

The commission plan sounds good to me. I hope 2025 is your best year ever!

I’m also here to ask if there’s a salary for the sales people.

Thanks for sharing, keep us updated

Do they receive a salary?

What type of vinyl is that and how can I buy some

Hi friend. Now I know why you sometimes suffer from a lack of cashflow: Your margin of 40% is too low and 30% provision for the salesperson ist too high. As simple as that. 10% profit before taxes is not enough to survive.

I assume your %'s are profit correct? So if you make $1000 profit on a job, they get $300? Profit is very easy to calculate on outsourced products, how do you handle it on products made in house, especially more custom jobs where things can and do go wrong, say if production makes a mistake that requires the job to be remade and the profit is eliminated.

Love the simplicity of it and that bonus element.

Thank you👍

Way to go, sales payment based on sales only. So, it is up to them to make profit for the company & earn their commission based on the sales. Lots will fail but some will climb the mountain...

If you take care of them and do what they recommend, you should not have any issues. I've had one for 3.5 years and love it.

Wow congratulations. That's awesome. Just goes to show hard work does pay off. We purchased a laundromat in 2021 and has had its ups and downs but weve been growing it each as well.

Can it do 100 X135 mm

do you print checks? if so is there software out there that you use to design the checks for printing?

What settings would you recommend for engraving tumblers with 10w?

How about printavo / inksoft??

Love you love your video man. We run a family owned printshop in Phoenix and it’s so interesting to see other’s stories which align so closely with our own. Keep it up and best luck!

How did you move the hp latex?

Thanks for the video. I think you gave some great advice on how to handle mistakes and/or miscommunication that will happen from time to time.

I help manage a promotional products manufacturer (we make stuff from scratch as opposed to mostly decorating), and there are a few ideas we have. First - if it’s 10% our fault it’s 100% our fault. And we take care of our customers accordingly, even when it hurts. Second - the customer isn’t always right, but they are always the customer! Not saying these ideas are unique to us by any means, but they definitely help inform our customer service philosophy. I’m happy to say also, that we’ve created many loyal, raving fans out of the ashes of problematic orders, just because of how we take care of people.

Awesome as usual

❤❤❤

I tired joining the facebook group. I have so many questions.

Hope UPS doesn't "help". Lol

That smooth transition into the firesprint plug.

Thank you

Thanks for sharing. I remember watching your late night videos, when you were constantly yawning. You’ve come a long ways, try to “stop and smell the roses”, and reflect on just how far you have come. Thanks

That’s interesting that you work on computers I do as well and I’m looking to expand my business into the multimedia area as well. Would love to get in contact you and bounce ideas

hey man! I've been following your channel and your shop's growth, you're doing great.

Your videos inspire us. Your journey inspires us Thank you for blazing the way for so many.

I never needed anxiety meds before starting the print shop, and I can totally relate to feeling inadequate in the family department. You aren't alone buddy. I hit your 2023 numbers this year. Not sure I want to try for 2.4 million next year though. :)

Thanks for this video; I think all business owners will benefit from hearing about your business journey! I think 2025 and beyond will be your best years yet. I'm looking forward to the updates!

Keep your head up. I know you wanna grow FAST! But be careful you could spend yourself into bankruptcy…

Thanks for sharing! /Christian from Sweden

What laser do you use for the pens and tumblers

Damn, it's really been 5 years, hasn't it? Seems like it's gone in a snap. You've come a long way, Daren. I think you should feel proud of what you have been able to accomplish as your business has grown. It ain't easy, being the big cheese, but just think of the financial security you and your family will have down the road. It'll all be worth it. Hang in there big man. Keep making moves and pushing forward. I know I started making videos taking your channel as inspiration. Looking forward to more in the future!

Where can I go to see what you sell and how can I purchase?

Thanks for sharing. Im on the opposite end of the sales spectrum, but I get what your saying. I had another small decently successful small business doing something completely different thats being phased out right now. I dont know about your situation, but I feel like people around you make a big difference on things like this. Like sometimes it really can make you money to pay somebody to help. But totally get you up and down headspaces are part of running a business. Where doing exactly what you did and taking off on friday to do a family fun thing or even just a solo mission doing something you havnt done in a while get really help keep your head above water sometimes

Looking forward to your videos every week!

Good Luck. but remember.. More isnt always better. Bigger isnt always Better.. sometimes its nice to be small

Congratulations on your success!

How do I join the group to ask question.

Thank you for being so open. I am on a similar trajectory, in that I left my old job 3 years ago and have seen similar growth in revenue for the first couple of years, really enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing. And it is okay to not be in a great headspace.

Fun movie making! Do you still have the Summa, and would you recommend it? We specialize in making wall stickers and window film

Thanks for sharing, you’ve been a big inspiration to me with pushing my business

great job sir ....support us we fallows u

Thank you for sharing, you are making a difference in so many people lives, including mine. I am learning so much from you. I also deal with depression so I can totally relate. I am still trying to get my business on solid footing…. So with my partner, we sometimes benched watch your videos. You are definitely proof that it can be done…. Thank you and take it a day at a time. That was a smart move to go hang out with the family. Some fresh air away from the office is all we need sometimes.

good luck and stay strong. You are helping a lot of us.
