Write down what you want in a woman in one column on a white sheet of paper with a blue pen, and write down a column of what you don’t want. Make it detailed, write it down, and then forget about it. 3 Months later come back to this post and share your success story. Peace!

Yes it is "rare" because men who DESERVE a women like that and BELIEVE they can have it is rare. You need to get right with yourself, seriously. You have limiting beliefs about this topic, alot alot of people do. You have to face them within yourself before you expect to be the right fit for a good woman. There is nothing "wrong with you" now, but there are things you need to change. Your perception of the world, how you carry yourself, your vision of yourself etc. Check out a book "How to be a 3% Man by Coach Corey Wayne" that one really helped me!

Absolutely great video on small business! Well done. I work in the auto industry as a Mechanical Designer and am starting a side business and the piece of advice you touched on that is most important is "design for manufacturability". Even tho the company I work for makes multimillion dollar machines, it's core is to remove metal as efficiently as possible and reduce the complexity such as removing multi processes (IE when it has to go from a welder to a machinist to a powercoater instead of just waterjetting a piece of aluminum in the first place). As you also touched on working with an outsourcer on your designs is critical. Use their knowledge to your advantage. Also, if you do want to scale up later, put the time into learning the design software as opposed to making chips (wood or metal). It takes seconds to correct a concept (and little money) but hours and big dollars to correct an actual physical product. As always, thanks for the content!

They also usually have an awesome crowd with lots of expertise and offer courses to the public. Depending on your product, becoming a member and offering classes might help you make extra income or reach potential customers.

I'm starting again while Im at home. I just got a K40 laser (200x300 cutting area roughly) and have started making little things. I've managed to sell a bunch of personalised Tardis keys with peoples names on them in Galifreyan. Much like your starting with one 3D printer Im hoping that it covers the cost then I can get more toys... Id like a CNC, resin printer and a filament (maybe a an inventables CNC, a Photon and a Prusa would be nice... but I saw a colour 3D printer on Indiegogo the end of last week, prints in white and then injects CMYK colour. Small build area but only 1K USD. If only I had the spare cash...)

It's probably a bit down in the weeds but you should talk about lead time. Large companies (and customers) cannot tolerate lead time because their money is tied up in resources. You can put something on your site, and forget about it. When someone orders one you can just go buy a piece of wood or plastic, make the thing and ship it... maybe it'll take a day. Very few companies can do that with just any of their products.

Watching random videos of yours that pop up in my suggestions and randomly decide to click on your merch link. Sad that I can't buy clothing from your merch shop for my sweetheart because he wears a 5XL and the sizes only go up to 2XL. Which, seems to be the case with almost every person we follow on KZitem, that their merch sizes only go to 2XL and sometimes 3 XL. Have been able to buy a few things for him to support channels we like but the size availability for up to 5XL isn't consistent even with particular creators. I get that larger sizes probably aren't as cost effective but it's still pretty disappointing when I want to get my sweetheart a gift and can't get him something he's excited about from creators he's into.

EDIT: Sorry Evan and Katelyn i just saw the pinned comment to the podcast video!!! I know this is an old video, but do you still do stuff like your topographical texas? I'd love to see a video on that, since my fiancee and I have been talking about doing something similar with resin and HDPE in the shape of the Island we live on!

Hi Guys, Just found you out here and love it. This is so very timely for me personally. Prior to this Corona shut in I have been exploring all types of creative ideas. I am actually working with a company for one of my inventions and so far so good. However, costs can add up quickly. So I will be watching and learning from your experiences and I cant thank you enough. This all started with my art work and now has expanded in product design. Keep creating. Check out my art work at @jcmfineart.

The most of the costs of selling product is not manufacturing, but MARKETING. You got a massive KZitem channel for it. Without that, you would not sell much.

I'm stuck in the manufacturing phase... I have a number of product prototypes/mockups that I'd love to market, but I don't have the means to keep up with potential demand... Can you point me in the right direction for searching for manufacturers? I'm not even sure what to google xD

@EvanAndKatelyn save yourself some time on the CNC @8:30 start with a hex. You can cut the hex in a jig on a chop saw far quicker than hacking it out of a square block with CNC.

I like your guys' video. I have a question and I wonder if you can help me. I have an idea for a product that would mostly be made out of plastic. How would I go about making a prototype and manufacturing it? Thanks, you guys are awesome.

Do you guys do consulting? I have a product that I started modeling in a 3D program, but I'm not very good. There are some functional aspects that I can't figure out and I need help...also need a little advise on material. Thanks 😊

You mention using a fulfillment center. That is something that could be unpacked more. For me they are a complete unknown for a small maker. Who, how, when, how much?

Evan you and I have the same background, and I have the same dream, come out and make whatever I dream. But how do you start doing this in an apartment? How much should you pay for being in a makerspace? How to market your products?

Some machines are more suited for an apartment than others. For example, the Carvey is small and self contained so there's no mess or dust collection needed. 3D printers are great for apartments - small and no mess. We have a video that goes more into promoting your products here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/r359voKPcIaIfpw

How do you market and sell these products? You keep talking about selling products as soon as you get your machine but without your machine you have no products and with no products you can't market. I can just imagine buying a machine and then only getting a handful of sales because of not knowing where to sell or who to sell to.

As an FYI, you don't need a proven product or sales history. I had a chinese company build me a prototype (similar to a gameboard so couldnt be cnc'd or 3d printed) for almost nothing then we went into production.

I am inspired and fascinated by the rainbow bar as a "video guide" for skipping. I am currently developing a product with tutorials and would love to steal this idea for my site. Is this part of your software suite or do you do it for each video by hand? Thank in advance.

I have a tool design that I want to manufacture. It is a keyring driver for camera gear. Whst type of cnc do you recomend inluding software. I had a friend design it from a drawing in blender. I attempted tweeking it and am totaly lost. Other CAD software is a pain.

Questions! How you manage to make legal and safe your lab shop in your garage house? here in my country, you can not do a lab in the area next to or in the house to make a second job or primary with it legally, this kind of jobs is in the context of small industrial shops. how is the laws in your country? and let you have machines to make stuff or chemicals like resin? And also how much is the taxes?

Is the X-carve CNC machine still your suggested unit for beginning businesses? Also, would you suggest learning that machine before getting a 3D printer or get both right at the beginning?
