StartupNation-sanctioned merchandise is available!

Yep! It`s here! Many of you have asked about getting StartupNation gear to show the pride of entrepreneurship. We have created a StartupNation Branded Merchandise Marketplace Listing where you can find shirts, caps, coffee mugs, journals and even an infant bodysuit in sizes 6 months to 2T in white, pink or baby blue!

We need your help to come up with some smart & catchy sayings to go along with the StartupNation logo on this stuff.

So here`s the deal: Offer up your suggestions in a comment in this forum topic. Once we have some strong contenders, we`ll put it to a community vote. The winning phrase will go on the StartupNation merchandise and the person who submitted the phrase will receive the laud and praise of their StartupNation community peers!! Plus, we`ll have them as a special guest on an upcoming community podcast.

OK all you branding specialists and aspiring branding superstars - let`s hear it!!

Can you beat the current phrase of "I`m starting it up!"?

Of course you can!!

Well, I`m not a marketing or a branding specialist, just a regular little person and Nike already said "Just Do It" so we can`t use that, but, maybe we could go one better and say:

"I Did It" with StartupNation

Or does that sound porno?

Nicole,
I agree. But for me, it`s more like `do it for the groceries and to avoid eviction`, but hey, we all have our motivations!
(plus the images in my mind of a Porsche 911 Carrera, a brownstone in Boston`s Back Bay, and the perfect woman).

Honestly, it`s none of those: it`s the passion of loving what I do every second - except for TurboTax and QuickBooks Pro - and creating the life I have always wanted.

And the groceries. Groceries are somewhat important.

Hey there Joel:

Great start! Where`s the "My Dadpreneur Loves Me" infant body suit?

Here`s one:

Start. It. Up.

Then the Logo can follow.

and

"Inspiration 2.0"
Then the Logo can follow.

All the best!

I just LOVE Nikole`s baby onesie idea. I would capitalize "ME" or underline it to emphasize that part.

Oh, also just so you know, Mompreneur is a trademarked name. Ellen and Pat own it over at mompreneursonline.com.
