    Great tips!!!! I like the "Start with the tools you already have tip". I always feel that I have to buy the newest coolest thing.

      Thanks, I just figure, if you're already making good products. May as well sell them. Reinvest that money. And grow from there. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

    Excellent tips!!! Thank you! I like the “turn a pen” and give it with the finished job. Great idea!

    Awesome and timely video, Mike! I've just been doing one-off projects for friends and family (and investing that money back into tools), but am getting to the point where I want to put myself out there to more people and batch out some smaller pieces. "Make that sawdust and make that money!"

    Thanks for the tips! I have all the tools I need to have a successful business, I just need the confidence to do it. I’m starting out by making a few products and placing them on websites to see how that goes. I don’t have a website for my business as I’m not sure how to get that going yet, no do I have business cards or anything. I’m just starting out so still lost in the weeds. Unfortunately, the cost of wood really hurts as it’s so expensive to make anything. My other issue is getting material as I don’t have anything but a Home Depot near me. I’m in Southern California. I just need to start!

    Collect that cash. The owner at the company I work for said one time, “if they ain’t squealing, then you ain’t charging enough.” Not sure if that was good advice but I’ve always remembered it. Lol….. I like the outro

    I think getting organized is my biggest setback right now. I started a French cleat wall. Now I just have to make all the holders and place them. Being picky about what goes where makes it worse tho. 🙃
