Are you operating a woodworking business? Do you want to make money with your woodworking skills but haven't started because of fear of failure or of losing money that you simply don't have? Or, have you already started but are having difficulty getting customers and making a profit?
I know how that feels. I started my woodworking business with no capital, a few shop tools, and a lot of nerve, in a small 10 foot by 20 shop space. Gradually it grew into a 1,400 square foot space while remaining a one person business.

costly mistakes getting started. Over time I refined my skills and learned profitable business
techniques. In spite of those early mistakes, I made my entire living from woodworking for more than
20 years.
If there had been someone to guide me during those early times, I could have avoided most of those
