This seems pretty obnoxious to me, but that's just my own opinion.

Hey Andrew. Thank you for your comment (you put that very politely which I'm grateful for :D).

What specifically turned you off? The site branding, tee designs, the idea of apparel for entrepreneurs?

There is certainly some room to improve all this and narrow down the focus.

I've basically just printed stuff I want to wear (so I don't have to think about what I wear to the office for the next few years).

It just seems strange for someone to purchase this unless they are actually a successful business founder (or else they look like a wannabe).

But I don't really feel successful business people should be bragging about how much better they are than anyone else on a T-Shirt.

Don't take it as a personal insult - my culture is probably different to yours. I'm not your target audience anyway.

People can be proud of a good spirit, quality, attitude and wear something about it to not only show off but also encourage other people. But this is different from bringing your work life into your social life by painting a job title on your tshirt.

IMO it's better to strip the 'Entrepreneurs' part and leave maybe "Let's make shit happen". At least it sounds more cheering to me.

You know what, I think you might be onto something here!

That would instantly make things less show-off and just generally motivating.

I could keep the 'apparel for entrepreneurs' within the brand, just not plaster it all over the front of the tees.

Just to follow up. Perhaps a design more like this - http://i.imgur.com/Hv2I9m6.jpg ?
