    For small town folks, I'd recommend looking into their high-school sports teams. Ours doesn't have any trademarks and doesn't mind us creating stuff for a very very loyal community. Custom slate projects with their kid's number and photo can generate a lot of money

I almost have all my laser equipment pieces and am really excited to get started. We all come from different backgrounds and each of us bring something to the table. Ideas are just floating around in my head all the time and watching this video will help me focus on the basics. Thank you and I look forward to seeing where you go with this from here.

    Starting a new company to show results is an excellent idea. Not to date myself but marketing/advertising for me initially was Phone Books and Gorrila marketing books. We cut ads in smaller cheap phone books to test pricing, and company names, drive new work that we were not sure we wanted to incorporate, etc. Much of that was incorporated into existing businesses, and some took off and sold as stand-alone companies later. Testing a new biz helps you refine the one you have without setting it on fire.

    Loved this video! I'm currently a hobby woodworker, but have wanted to make it a side-hussle. Unfortunately, woodworking requires a lot of space and wood can be a fickle raw material to work with. So, I've been thinking that a CNC or Laser business might make sense. Plus, I work for a design agency that I could potentially even sell my services to. I just subscribed to your channel and plan on diving in to a bunch more of your videos. I would love it if you did the videos you suggested at the end - especially starting a brand new biz so we can see the whole process. That'd be invaluable. Next, I'm going to dig through your vids to find equipment advice, etc. Thanks for what you do!
