Tips from ReadyMade's Projects Editor
Get advice from people who know what the heck they are doing: There are people willing to help and in many cases FOR FREE! Crazy, but true.
Do-It-Together: we recruited every friend and friend-of-friend we could: "have fun making stuff" suddenly turned into a big, creative, collaborative adventure.
Set doable goals and deadlines: we broke our "to-do" list down by month, week, day, and hour. We set an opening date and worked backwards.
Give yourself a break: There will always be more to do, regardless how organized you are. And you know what? So what?! Go buy you and your hard working friends some ice cream.
Enjoy the process: we considered every single part of the project a learning experience, and dang, we learned a lot! Just kept chanting "It'll all be worth it"- it is!

Tips on starting a business
Have a creative project?
Toyota wants you to be part of a network of young, creative individuals called HEYA, whose founding question is "What can we do together?"
HEYA.toyota.com is a gathering space for creative thinkers to explore this question in an online environment that is part art studio, part inventor's garage and part screening room.
HEYA is limited to 500 members and US residents only so log on to HEYA.toyota.com for consideration and your project may be eligible for a $2500 sponsorship from Toyota!
