Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in clothing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tera McIntosh, Founder of PoetTree Tee Co., located in Asheville, NC, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

PoetTree Tee Co. is a small business dedicated to creating cozy tees that showcase both local and national poets and local and national parks. Profits from the sales go back to the designated poet and park for each shirt.

Tell us about yourself

Nature and poetry are like peanut butter and jelly. We write to heal, to explain a feeling twice, and what better way to feel alive than to be present with the earth below us?

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Working with nationally known poets like JM Storm and Tyler Knott Gregson.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The ebbs and flows of the industry, the time and cost-benefit ratio.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. The more time you put into it, the better the outcome.
  2. Be patient.
  3. Follow the law of attraction, and good things will come.
