  I&apos;ve had a fulltime online business for 25 years. &nbsp;Sold millions in product. &nbsp; Your #1 tip is spot on for ANY business but so rarely talked about. &nbsp;I&apos;ll give another tip. &nbsp;Start off small. &nbsp;If you can&apos;t sell 10 hot dogs on a corner than you can&apos;t sell a 1,000 out of a food cart...and if you can&apos;t sell 1,000 out of a food cart than you can&apos;t sell 100,000 out of a brick and mortar restaurant. &nbsp; To many people want to start with the end dream and that is the fastest way to fail and lose all your money.

  Talk about a newbie …here I am! I’m a a little bit away from buying a CNC but you are such a valuable source I know I will be a faithful supporter. I would be very interested in your master classes as they become available. Thanks a million!

  Great video once again. <br>My tip is BUILD CONFIDENCE WITH THE MACHINE ASAP, after that it&apos;s super easy to filter potential projects according to the capability of the machine saving a lot of time in useless thinking and calculations. Break some bits but see what the machine can and cannot do.

  Biggest tip I can suggest is charge the right price and stop making unprofitable items. Work out what you shop hourly rate is, which applies just as much if your at home or rented space, whether your using a CNC, a lacer or a 3d printer. If a product takes 3 hours to carve, &nbsp;cut or print, then the cost includes those 3 hours. If that makes it unsellable and you can&apos;t add more machines to have several running, then find another product.

  I like your videos because you don&apos;t have a big ego, &nbsp;great tips all around, &nbsp; the scalability tip hit home because I am designing custom made 3d reliefs individually for each customer which is just not scalable by any means lol. &nbsp; &nbsp;Also sticking to one product is also super helpful, &nbsp;you are right so many things to make It makes it difficult to stayed focused and just to perfect one product.

  My business tip, not cnc specific, be a boss (owner, manager, etc) that people WANT to work for. Teach and encourage your employees and know when to cut ties with folks that aren&apos;t there to actually be helpful. (You know the type, the cashier at the store thar looks at you with disgust bc you are making her do her job.)<br>Ryan, you have a contagiously positive and energetic attitude. That makes a huge difference in the workplace atmosphere.
