A different way to live.<\/strong><\/h3>

When I made the decision to buy a boat which was going to become my home, I didn't really think too much about it. It never really occurred to me how different my life would become. I was far too engaged in the excitement of living on the water and being able to travel to different places. And even though it's not all romantic idealism, (having to empty your toilet, running out of water whilst taking a shower and the worst hoping I don't sink). I would not change a thing. The whole experience of living on the water in a much more simplified way has made me appreciate things far more and not to take everything for granted. This I believe was the fundamental bases for my t-shirt business endeavour.<\/p>

To much thinking.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>

Isn't it strange how sometimes you can try to think of an idea and nothing comes to mind. Then simply by just relaxing and letting your mind wander it all just becomes so very clear. That was exactly how felt with 'QuoteTees.' I to remember spending ages thinking about different design ideas with no real direction or purpose to the designs. Then one day out of the blue, the word \"Quotes\" popped into my head. So I decided to search for t-shirts that displayed Quotes on them. I found lots with just the quote on them. But none that married cool, bold designs with interesting, meaningful quotations taken from a wide variety of genres.<\/p>

It's all in the name.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>

Now what shall I call the business. I always think that the name is so very important. It has to be memorable and also reflect what the business is about. Again I started to rely on the art of trying not to over think the name. It would have been all to easy to come up with a name that might have been a little bit obscure and cleaver, but in many cases simplicity is the key. Thus QuoteTees just seemed an obvious fit.<\/p>

Now the journey begins.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>

So now I begin this adventure. An adventure I hope you will join me on and participate in regarding quotes that perhaps you are very fond of. Because as I have found out there is a wealth of different quotes out there to last many lifetimes, and I know I shall have many hours of enjoyment designing t-shirts based upon some of them.<\/p>","urlTitle":"big-ideas-small-beginnings","url":"\/blog\/big-ideas-small-beginnings\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/big-ideas-small-beginnings\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/quotetees.co.uk\/blog\/big-ideas-small-beginnings\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1645888009,"updatedAt":1646030208,"publishedAt":1646030208,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":161839,"name":"QuoteTees"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ah63i4sccvjgklhkrvm5wxgo63rtkuoamaybacuq9itcarnn.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ah63i4sccvjgklhkrvm5wxgo63rtkuoamaybacuq9itcarnn.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ah63i4sccvjgklhkrvm5wxgo63rtkuoamaybacuq9itcarnn.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","series":[],"similarReads":[],"labels":[]}
