    Thank your for being honest. So many youtubers makes videos about a business and neglect to state that they also depend on other sources of income.

    Diversification of income is an absolute must in my book so I was so glad to see you listed it too! The term I've heard for when one order leads into a massive bulk rush and tons of orders is The Hug of Death. :)

    All great tips but the one that sticks out to me is "You've got to be the boss and kick it into gear". You won't do anything without the hustle to get going and keep going!

    Thanks for info. As for # 1 (I haven't learned laser skill yet...) ,but do you have any recommendations for learning the business skills.I for a fact lack those skills but figured I could learn them ahead of time so when they are needed I have them. Thanks again for your videos.

    Hey Ron. If this were the Justin Laser School of Small Laser Business I would first suggest learning a bit about Content Marketing. You wont have to incorporate everything you read into your own plan but taking this avenue is best way to get yourself out there without having to spend money on advertising. Attracting clients and customers is the toughest part so once you have them, figuring out pricing/logistics/taxes and all that stuff is much easier.

    I really need to compile some sources. I try to pull different things from different people and combine it together. Im big on branding and "passive marketing". I dont even consider business ventures where I cant figure out a way to incorporate those ideas. I pull a lot of ideas from Gary V (love him or hate him) and Chris from The Futur here on KZread.

    Great content as always. I may be a cynic, but I suspect the people who are making the most money are those who are selling things to people HOPING to make money from their lasers. To borrow a joke from the photography world : What's the best way to make money with your laser? Sell it. 😆 J/K
