Sure it's possible to "learn while you earn", but wouldn't somebody be able to offer business advice to make things better, more profitable, and not sacrifice a single part of the community and artistic spirit?<br><br>I don't mean this as a criticism. I'm just really curious how small communities can get help as they grow into a business that eventually becomes the livelihoods of many people. After all, somebody with experience could have just talked to Threadless back in the day and help avert the $50k in fees to FedEx.
