This thread reminds me of the review I want to write on my Civility. :wink: ---

Well, I am debating designing my own yoyo. However, I feel this is a bit premature. I also don’t need to form a new company as I’ll just add it to my existing company. But, mostly, I am not sure how it will be received, and if a company like YYE wouldn’t be willing to carry it as a product(along with maybe 2 other domestic to me retailers), then it wouldn’t make good financial sense to pursue this for me. Without knowing what the costs would be to start from nothing, prototype and then do a run of 100-250 units(or more), I’m a long ways from making any sort of announcement. Then again, right now I’m not inclined to even follow this concept to any sort of further point than “stuff in my head”. My thoughts are that manufacturer’s news needs to somehow be set up so that only manufacturers can post in that area. I’m not sure how the software for this forum works so I don’t know if that’s a possibility. Then, in another area, such as child board, the general public can discuss the “news”. > [@yooldman](#): > > This thread reminds me of the review I want to write on my Civility. :wink: Me too. How’s that going for ya? Probably about as good as it’s going for me too! ---

> [@Q](#): > > YES! > NO! I get sick of reading a new “I’m making a company blah blah” thread. Like. If you’re serious, go for it. But don’t start an “I want to make a company” thread and be in the thread asking advice. You can actually talk to people who know about manufacturing in this thing called real life. Like, we know a hella lot about yoyos, but not as much about a business. Talk to a manufacturing company in your area about the trials and tribulations. At least have a plan started before you start posting on the internet about your future colorway names and company names. I’ve been on the verge of starting 2 companies in the past year. Good offers came up to me, and I was in a financial situation that allowed me to allocate funds to a business and not break myself in the process. How many of you know that? One, maybe two. Because why would I post about a product that I have yet to create? If you have allocated time and money into a product, you deserve the advertising, sure, but if you have 0 product lineup, and everything is just an idea in your head, you really shouldn’t be taking away ad space from companies who have bills to pay and quotas to meet. It’s nothing against the little guy, but we are in a community that is dominated by young kids who think that things are easier than they really are. It’s easy to get crushed under the weight of a company, and it gets even harder when you have hundreds of people around the world wondering why you haven’t put anything out. Ok, I’m picking up what you’re throwing down. And it makes total sense. No need to say you’re going to do something when you’re not. And if you do seriously want to do it… Do it! You gotta handle the money funds, machining, advertising, and business transactions. So if you haven’t put serious thought to it, don’t announce it to the world. And if you have put serious thought to it, good! Keep thinking those crucial thoughts. But don’t say “I’m starting up” when you’re not really starting up anytime soon.
