This past weekend was very exciting because the T+T Mens Basketball League kicked off. Shout out to A Wade and Boz for the hard work! The shirts came in on time and they came out great. Being that beyourowndad is helping sponsor the event the website was put on the back of the shirts. On the website I was able to put the team rosters up, summer schedule, and stats for the games. Many people may be confused as to how the basketaball league relates to the brand. Easiest way to understand is explained within the sideline story segment I created. This segment allows players to share their goals for the summer and how they plan on achieving that goal. Because, don't forget beyourowndad is all about working thru your struggles and achieving your goals. The way players get chosen is decided on how they perform during their game. So keep in mind players if you get buckets you can be featured! Look for the finished video under the webisodes tab on the website coming very soon.
The games are held every Sunday at the Boys and Girls club in Taunton, Ma. Earliest game beginning at 3. Please come out to support!
The official wristsbands have yet to come in. I am very disappointed because I wanted to begin my promoting today. But, I just have to patiently wait for them. I ordered 1000+ so production takes some time according to the company. Once again, I will be passing the wristbands out as the summer continues so if anybody knows of any festivals or events within the New England area please let me know. As far as promoting goes though word of mouth is always the best way to spread the word. You don't have to explain the brand. Just pass on the website beyourowndad.com and the brand will explain itself.
The brand takes many months even years of hard work to get off the ground. We are still in the first month of the brand and the support has been phenomenal. The social media aspect for the brand is going along great. The twitter and instagram accounts still have very few followers so please follow and spread the word. Also, check out the facebook page and don't forget to like it!
As far as me I'm steadily working and thinking of new ideas. I want this summer to be life changing and I'm the only one that can decide whether it will be or not. You will be hearing from me Thursday! Stay tuned...

My nephews are your neighbors. I came across your site after they came inside with your wristbands and the name captured my interest. I must commend you on your idea and efforts regarding this site and what it stands for. I sometimes fear for these young boys because they seem so nonchalant about life.
ReplyDeleteMy nephews are the youngest in the group and even with having their father around I am afraid of the impact the older kids have on them. So I am extremely grateful that you have always shown these boys around here a lot of respect and you are now able to open their eyes to the greater opportunities they can have.
I was asked how to start a website (as if one of them would like to venture and try it out) and they were listening to the Sidelines which is great to teach them the importance of goal setting.
Good luck with this movement Jimmy!! God bless you!
