    Does your "get rich" internet guru only make $28K/yr?

    That Tom Vu clip is hilarious. I love the bevy of blonde babes playing games in the foreground. I do find myself shifting between wanting to bring value to my customers and wanting to bring value to my bank account. I suppose practice is the key. Just get up everyday and work on creating the...

    Anyone here use Clickfunnels.com? I'm looking around for website options and this looks pretty turn-key, although it ain't cheap. They have a funny and persuasive marketing video though:

    Mmmmm hotdogs. ;) I’m a noob so what do I know, but a few of the guys at the makerspace seem to be a bit overconfident when it comes to the table saw.

    I assume you are referring to the plant-based movement. It's interesting that you bring this up because of all the businesses that I included in the poll for at the top of this thread, the one I can't stop thinking about as I work on Together Tables is Good to Go. I really want to have one...

    Since this is my progress thread, I thought I'd keep it real and put it on the record that I've had some triggering moments yesterday, which have put my mind/belief system in a tough place. I'm confessing it here partly for the history of this thread and partly as a way to dispel the demons...

    CNC stands for computer numerical control, so a CNC router is basically a router attached to a robot arm which is controlled by a computer. The designs can be made in any vector art program. I'm using Adobe Illustrator and then it's converted into a file that the ShopBot program can read, and...

    Thanks @Xeon , I appreciate the encouragement. I'm planning to do more videos. Whether anyone watches or not, I'd like to have a good record of the events leading up to success or failure or pivot to something else. What are you working on at the moment? Let me know how I can encourage you. Thx.

    Kinetic Execution Update After signing up this week for the Idea Fab Labs, I laid out some typography in Adobe Illustrator, bought some MDF and headed over to use the Shopbot CNC router for the very first time. It was a good test. There is a lot more to learn in order to make this work on...

    Kinetic Execution Update I believe I have a better solution to having a good table building workshop, rather than just enlarging our backyard workshop. Instead we are going to pay for a membership at the Idea Fab Labs in Chico where we can reserve the woodshop and the CNC Shopbot Router for up...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    Agreed—and for good or ill it is a relatively strong part of my motivation at the moment. I'm sure that will change as I move forward with the business.

    Thanks for the preview of things to come. What took you there? As for designer clothes, I don't need to do there, but simple tailored clothes would be nice. As for our exes bailing on us, there is definitely a silver lining there. :) Thanks for the reminder to stick with it. I'm still very...

    Thanks @Carol Jones, I think building and selling the first 100 or 1,000 tables is the right thing to do. I may decide to hand it over to another company or three, just to make sure no single company controls our business or I may decided to build a larger production facility. It's far too...

    @Evil_Jester — It's pretty awesome that people want your help. And...it's sucky that they don't want to compensate your for it. I like @masterneme's suggestion. You've got a problem, so create a product for others that (hopefully) solves your problem and gets you more loyal customers.

    I'll probably regret putting this video up, but I look at doing so as an exercise in facing my fears. In this video, I sit on my couch and pontificate about fun things such as "Rep Envy" and learning to overcome selfish tendencies. [Spoiler alert] The learning isn't done yet. I also dip into...

    This past week my son and I completed a table (95% complete anyway). It's not terrible, but it's not great. There are lots of flaws. We're both noobs at this, but we're enjoying the process. When I envision the goals that we've set and I place this week's efforts into that context, the progress...
