An idea behind “HeartGal” is “Sweet not seductive” 🙂

I started a “Funny Pundit” (clothing brand) Facebook page to showcase a brand of politically funny T-shirts since I had some ideas of a tweet I wanted to jump on today by Scotus. 🙂

I'd like to put all of our family businesses on this spreadsheet so that we can prioritize our efforts on our strongest brands or the businesses that will be most profitable or the brands that we are most passionate about. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10G9Cl4QeWlImUlSlN_iVmVnOrU6bHhhRiRtovENg-dU

@Tim Wow! Those Lynda classes are great! We were going over more Principles of Design videos (they call movies) by William Lidwell and learned a lot of things to apply in life, our business, and in creating products, etc.

@Tim commented on @Tim’s file https://whitefamily.slack.com/files/U02BKFX3R/F6375UYDR/family_businesses: @Franicia This spreadsheet may help us reach clarity in our businesses and brands.

@Franicia commented on @Tim’s file https://whitefamily.slack.com/files/U02BKFX3R/F6375UYDR/family_businesses: @Tim Okay.

@Franicia commented on @Tim’s file https://whitefamily.slack.com/files/U02BKFX3R/F6375UYDR/family_businesses: @Tim That looks really good! You're great with spreadsheets and very organized!

@Tim commented on @Tim’s file https://whitefamily.slack.com/files/U02BKFX3R/F6375UYDR/family_businesses: @Franicia thank you!

@Tim commented on @Tim’s file https://whitefamily.slack.com/files/U02BKFX3R/F6375UYDR/family_businesses: @Franicia We didn't discuss Alageta. Are we interested in that brand? I'm thinking no.

@Tim You're right. I'm thinking no about Alageta. We had it as an ebay store that wasn't affiliated with our name. It also allowed us to sell with an easy-to-remember-one-name brand name.

@Tim I forgot about this brand for smart products for intelligent children and to help intellectual development.

@Tim This is good to know. I'm trying to figure out if we can do just the font for the Academy on a shirt and no symbols or logos of course. https://www.defense.gov/Portals/1/Documents/Trademarks/DOD%20Guide%20about%20use%20of%20seals%20logos%20insignia%20medals-16%20Oct%2015F.PDF

@Tim From what I'm seeing, the word "Navy" is trademarked which makes sense. https://trademarks.justia.com/744/46/navy-74446069.html

@Tim This one confuses me (for "United States Naval Academy") because it says the trademark is cancelled and owned by the United States of America. https://trademarks.justia.com/743/79/united-states-naval-academy-74379464.html

@Tim I wrote to the Naval Academy business department via their Gift Shop email address on their website asking them about permissions and trademark issues about what I'd like to design and we'd like to make available. I CCd you.

@Tim Great article on working from home https://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/working-from-home-makes-you-happier-less-likely-to.html?cid=hmmore

@Tim This is what I read about being different like powerful brands, dominating the market, and being competitor-oriented and not customer in the way of offering a unique item or product line. http://www.ries.com/2016/05/everybody-customer-oriented-real-opportunity-something-totally-different/

Ryan Reger made a document for the Private Label Group called "Supplier Resources for Private Label." I'm going to have to copy and paste it later.

@Franicia Doh! We let Alageta.com's registration lapse in June. Someone by the name of ying qiao now owns it. 😞

@Tim I wonder how much the children like Kawaii Bay as a business/brand name. 😊

@Tim It took me a long time to get to this domain name.

@Tim I just purchased this Kindle book by Tony Hsieh for $11.99: Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose
