I'm filling Maker's Magic. It's a flexible, paintable, clear, craft glue and sealer that my company Scorch Marker invented. We launched it 8 months ago and we are still in the beginning stages. If you want to see where we sell it or if you want to learn more about the business click here: scorchmarker.com If you want to learn how I got to this point with my product, check out some of my free resources at: www.vanader.com/bio
I am still curious about the craft glue and sealer. How is that different from glue at Homedepot or Lowe's? I have used silicon glue before. I would like to get a new strong glue for outdoors. Regarding the equipment, I have used them all at work years ago. All of them. from beginning to packaging. I did not see the Lot # printing under the canisters/plastic jars. Every single step you have done, I did it with those machines and fancier ones. It is exciting, it must be more exciting if this whole operations is YOURS. After working doing this, you ask yourself, am I going to fill bottles for the rest of my life? It was a good run for me, but now I switched to my childhood talent. Watercolor and selling images and designs online on platforms. Print on demand. Great video for the youth 18 yr and on, they could successfully run their own business. Filling CBD into jars is so profitable right now. I have done that too. Good luck. Love your nation, love your women, conquer and prosper.
No BS, annoying intro music, or filler crap. Clear, clean, and professional video that gets to the point, and doesn't beg for likes and subs....you sir, earned a subscriber !!!
As a small business owner, I'm so happy for your family. My husband created a product in our basement and on Christmas Eve 2017, we sold our first unit. In October of 2019, he quit his corporate job and we were able to work side-by-side (I'm a SAHM) until February 2023 (business was too slow, so he had to go back to corporate world). Business is still slow, but he's back home and we're trying to relaunch our business to bring in new gamers. Your video randomly popped up... and knowing your product (I'm a crafter!), it warmed my heart to know you two started the same way! A smile spread across my face when I saw your little one working with you two. What a gift!!! I wish you two so much success!!! - Denise
"As a small business owner" "My husband created a product" "we sold our first unit" "he quit his corporate job" "I'm a SAHM" "business was too slow" "he had to go back to corporate world" "we're trying to relaunch" "I'm a crafter" If your husband is the one making the money and creating the products, you're not a "small business owner", you're an employee who's screwing the owner.
You can’t find This high level of honesty and transparency anymore. Everyone is trying to sell you something or get in your pockets. Sir, with tears in my eyes😥,I applauded you for putting this content out there. You have given many the motivation to MAKE A START. I pray you continue to prosper in all your ways. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
*What this guy shared in this video is a pure unadulterated way to set up a small yet very productive business in their own garage. If you want to pay thousands in some bogus seminar or $39.99 a month for membership to get the same info, go right ahead. Evan even gives you the type of machinery needed. God bless this man.*
Selling something in smaller containers at 2x or 10x the cost is not actually productive, it is just being a middleman. No different from buying potatoes and selling them in retail in small quantities.
I’ve never seen a video like this before. You’re either an atypically honest and remarkably earnest and helpful individual, or you’re a hell of an actor. I’m deciding to believe the former. Congratulations on your success. I’m confident that I could not do what you do, but I can certainly learn from it, so thank you. Cheers!
He's giving up a piece of universal technology to advertise his product and to create positive image, that's neither honesty nor artistry, just good marketing.
@@nullchannnel comment edited because im an idiot. I initially stated that it wasnt bad info, it isnt , until the course he's selling at the end pops up. Dont trust this man. I didnt watch until the end where hes selling courses A deeper dive? Shows a conviction for investment fraud. This guy was convicted of 700000 dollar investment theft by the FBI. He gambled it away currency trading after lying that he was a lawyer and accountant to people close to him.
For me your line, "how lonely I am..." hit home. So true. As a successful entrepreneur who retired in my 40's I understand how lonely one can feel when you are not part of an organization. Pickleball has been my saving grace and contemplating jumping back into the working world as a way to reconnect with like minded business entrepreneurs in the near future.
Hi William, want to be respectful to Evan and his channel. Short story is I "green field" developed and constructed 25+ utility-scale solar farms over a 8 year window. Long story is learned if you have a high-value and viable product to sell there are plenty of investors and buyers willing to pay good money. @@williamgarcia1995
As someone who has retired so young what advise would you have for someone trying to get in the e-commerce business with no previous experience. I am very interested in learning how to generate passive income but don't know where to start.
You did the best thing you could ever do... Starting you glue business in your garage and doing it yourself. Now you know your product inside and out.. If something goes wrong with your co-packer, you have the knowledge of being able to do this yourself, o you will be able to supply your customers and not lose any accounts. I have seen people go straight to a co-packer without knowing their products etc, and their co-packer goes under, or decides not to make their product and now, the people have lost all their sales, and customers etc. Keep up the good work! Love it!
Great to see another "mfg. in the garage startup". My wife and I did the same 25 years ago making a tablesaw safety tool, the Grip-Tite magnetic feather board. I set up shop in the garage to test the market, and were overwhelmed with success, making more money at a weekend trade show than I had in the previous 6 months. The garage soon had 4 of us pumping out tools in an assembly line- much more complicated than your process (woodworking involved). In a year we had moved on to a large shop with real machinery and 10 employees. I must say that marketing something is just as important (or more) than producing. We were lucky to find the "Woodworking Shows" (thank you Jerry Cole) where I could demonstrate and sell the Grip-Tite for over 25 years, and retire early .
I come from industrial automation background years ago retired now. I have always been an entrepreneur at heart. You are inspirational . Blessings Evan 🙌🏼
I never thought I'd say this about a content creator, but he just seems like a decent guy letting you know how he got started and what it takes to get your product off the ground. Nice!
Very impressive. I’m 67 and I’ve thrashed around my entire life looking for something that I could make, sell, resell etc. I like your approach and it’s obviously worked for you. I subscribed so I’m looking forward to future videos.
That's funny my whole life. I have invented things for business. But I didn't make one yet. I have a list of options for us, Dave, if you can do the business side. Some are bigger than a garage business, however, so there are options.
@@Donetravlin TH-cam just now letting me know there are comments on my posts. I’ve always been open to just about any possibility, except the strip club in Charleston, WV a guy I worked with wanted me to go partners. I can handle the business side but I do have some limitations. I’ve got prostate cancer and kidney disease so I’m not sure how many more days, weeks, months or years I’ll have on this earth.
I envy your child. Watching your kid wander into the shop in the time lapse footage, watching mom and dad working together, using equipment that would intimidate most people into not even trying... What a a wonderful boost to his Development that's going to be! Good business! Great parents!
There is no "perfect growth method" but honestly you're kind of already doing something by interacting with videos like this and social media posts of creators in your niche. This associates your account with other accounts in the niche and increases your chances of your content being shown to people who will like your brand and products. If you made more social media posts focusing on the crafting/diy niche while interacting with accounts, you can train the algorithms to show you to the right people and increase your conversion. Instagram likes posts daily or almost daily, TH-cam likes weekly uploads. I tell my marketing clients to make 20-30 social media interactions a day on specific creators in the niche per platform (some big, some medium, some small). This could be liking a post, commenting, etc. Like, if I were to break it down, in a month the full marketing load would be producing 4 TH-cam videos and 20 Instagram posts a month (Carousels that tell a story do the best, then reels, then single image posts), with the intention of directing viewers to your Esty shop, or something like a free e-book download where you can capture their email and use email marketing to encourage the sale (I think you can also just do that with Etys' tools) When it comes to etsy, I find their SEO is really easy to game. Just find your top competitors selling similar items on the top of related search terms, read their description and try and think about the specific keywords they might be targeting in search, and write your descriptions to include those same keywords. I've gotten a few listings on the front page of relatively hot search terms by doing this. Just don't copy/paste it, try and reverse engineer the keyword research they already did. Good luck, and because youtube is dumb, you'll probably never see this comment.
Wow, what a unique video Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the walk-through of the process and the equipment. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video that show you how to launch a product start to finish like this in six minutes.
Any advice for someone seeking a small-business loan? I live in a small town and am starting a thrift store. I am already registered and all my docs are intact. The next step, I think, would be to apply for a small-business loan and start looking for a cheap(ish) storefront here in town. For now, I will be renting the local community hall monthly for a "pop-up shop" type of thing, until I can figure out a permanent store location. Just thought that anyone here who has gone through this process might have some words of wisdom! Anything you would have done differently? Anything I should be weary of? Really any advice about small-business loans would be cool! A friend suggested I hire a financial attorney that specializes on helping entrepreneurs get a secure loan for their project.
Your fried. Is right. Banks etc generally won't loan you start up money unless you can show you have vested interest in it. Meaning, how much money are you bringing to the table for this new company. Any that will give you a loan will be high interest rates and personally guaranteed against an asset like your house if you have substantial equity. If you are a renter, this will be an even harder uphill battle.
Big banks that received taxpayer bailouts during the global financial crisis a decade ago are now too slow in helping small businesses seeking assistance through a $349 billion emergency lending program.
That right, hire an attorney to handle your application and increase your chances of approval by 70%. My credit score was 400 and the attorney I hired was still able to help me secure a loan of $150k at a favorable terms. Your credit doesn’t matter if you have a solid connection. Lender are tend to fund applications that come through a trusted source. They will never find the information you provide worthy enough. You need someone they trust to vouch for you.
My LLC has been registered for two years. It has an EIN number. No operations at all. I'm ready get it started but I need funding. How can I get an unsecured loan for this LLC? I have poor personal credit. There needs to be a way l secure funding for a brand new LLC so I can finally begin operations. Any website or business lenders that work with businesses with no operational history? I thought having an EIN number would be the first step. I need to get this started now.
I must say, this is one of the best videos on TH-cam. It just showed up in my feed. My ‘algorithm’ is not something that would typically show this. I am into DJ culture, video games and cars. Imagine that. Not sure why I was chosen but grateful to say the least. Your genuine and honest manner radiates. Congratulations on your succeed and you’re truly an inspiration. Thank you for the video.
This is one of the most positive and uplifting videos! I don’t have anything to manufacture yet but this is truly inspiring! I’m subscribing just for that!
Awesome tutorial. Your simple teaching skills and sincerity will make this channel one of the best for anyone will to roll up their sleeves and go to work for themselves.
I was recommended this from TH-cam when I have no plans on doing anything similar; but let me add that, this was seriously cool. Seeing the step by step process from start to finish was very insightful from someone with no experience within this particular kind of business.
Witnessing a birth of new ideas and perspectives is exhilarating. I've made better decision that is growing my finance (over $20k every week) keep the videos coming
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Gillian Sara sheeran is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
Same here all thanks to Gillian Sara sheeran, she has always been there to guide me through with detailed analysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
This is awesome - way to go! Good to see someone that comes across as humble and grateful winning. I have been working in manufacturing as an engineer, then manager, director, etc... for over 30 years now and at the moment. Back in 2019 I thought of going out on my own to consult, started building a few relationships and opportunities and finally pulled the trigger - about 5 months before KO-Vid hit!!! I got wiped out! No work, no sales, no place to get hired cause no one was even open... it sucked. So now I am back in the grind and there is no end in sight so I have been thinking of doing something, CNC milling, design a product, something. I have been researching lately for good ideas, opportunities, etc... I do not do too much on line stuff other than watch videos, I do not have social medias other than YT, etc... that stuff makes me a bit uncomfortable. Anyway I am hoping to do something and you probably know the saying "luck favors the prepared". I am very glad to have found your channel.
@@Vanader Any thoughts on what is the most important machine (CNC mill vs lathe vs laser engraver/cutter/other???) that you sell the most work on? In other words if I could only afford one machine would you say to get the CNC Mill or a laser engraving machine or something else?
We are a small scale manufacturing in the UK for a little over 3 years now and today we visited our first Contract Packaging Solution provider. Loving the videos dude, cant wait to see more.... Biggest risk to our business is too dependent on Amazon!
Amazon will see your success, bleed you or pirate your product and make it themselves. If you don’t play ball they will hide your product in the customer searches. They’ve been prosecuted for it.
Thanks @@tbyoda9475 we already have woocommerce website, Etsy and eBay stores and do a small amount of wholesale but 90+ % of orders come from Amazon, it may not be going anywhere but its hard to get orders elsewhere
This is SO cool! Home manufacturing is the next big thing for many of us. I've been 3d printing for a few years now & just bought a laser engraver. I dream of having a small scale manufacturing business in my home. Great work!
This video is a hige inspiration. I dont have my own business but the advice and information you've shared here is something anybody can learn from. Thank you for taking the time and effort to put together such a gem for us, i look forward to seeing your content!
Wow just clicked on your vid out of mild interest as I will be building a workshop/ storage compound very soon. My wife and I are currently off work whilst we renovate our property but are searching options for income instead of re entry into the labour market. We’re both hands on ( carpenter and gardener ) so are comfortable with cottage industry ideas for income. This vid has opened my eyes to what is possible on a small scale operation with complete control of manufacturing processes - many thanks Evan
I love your entrepreneurial spirit. We need a lot more of this. I manufacture at home. My biggest digital economy disappointment stemmed from my hope that people would use a search engine to find small e-commerce websites and order directly from them, but e-commerce went the other way where there are a few large online distributors that are more efficient than brick and mortar retail but not as efficient as manufacturer-to-consumer sales.
Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.
Retirement is now more difficult than it was in the past. I've been saving for a long time instead of investing, and right now I only have about $400K. considering all the inflation, i'm thinking of investing in stocks, i dont just have idea on market strategies.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800k
Although I am not planning on selling anything online, your description drew me to this video and I was quite amazed. Not only do you have an amazing speaking voice which is pleasant to listen to, your no bs approach was a win-win. Subscribed.
I've been self employed for a decade plus, and am currently making a product for almost 4 years now, and it is almost %100 (I have the stickers made for me) made by hand, by me alone. I would love to be able to make more units to keep up with demand, but I'm handicapped by my inability to accept outside help, mainly because I feel no one can meet my strict guidelines for quality and detail. I wish I could find a reliable source to at least make some of my parts, to spec, and then I could build more units. You have a simple product with a great production setup, which is every entrepreneurs dream. Great job!
In the late 1980's, I learned how to brew my own beer, and the bottling reminded me of that young, time bringing me back, thank you and congratulations and the best of success to you!
Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.
Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however. I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter
You're absolutely right about the power of compound interest and the long-term potential of investing in index funds like the S&P 500. For many, passive investing in broadly diversified funds can be a reliable strategy over time.
Employing a professional financial analyst or advisor can certainly add value by offering tailored advice, portfolio diversification, risk management, and timely insights. Their expertise can potentially speed up wealth creation and navigate market complexities, but it's important to choose someone reputable and consider their fees, as they can impact your overall returns.
BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.
You are bubbling with energy and child like curiosity. Ii's infective and inspiring. Not a trace of fatigue in your presentation after so much hardwork these years. Congrats. Keep going strong. It makes me more stronger at my 63
This is awesome! My husband and I have a watercolor palette and paint making business in our apartment. Right now we just sell on Etsy, but originally he was selling one item on Amazon. We loved watching your video because as you can imagine everything is done by hand and it can be very arduous. We appreciate seeing that there are other options!
Really well produced. Hit all the needed points without wasting time. Now I want to build a garage system. Now I need a product to sell! (I have some ideas...) Thank you!
Evan this was fantastic! With the loss of manufacturing in USA, even straightforward, packaging arts have fallen by the wayside. So it’s great to have you sharing on these processes. The end of your video, I could see you being onto something where in this channel becomes of support for Small Business, fabrication and packaging, technology and processes . I mean, yes, there are courses on how to set up with Amazon, but an actual operators lessons learned and tutorial I think, would be both fantastic in superior. Want to cover the business side with taxes and liability in those kinds of things. And then, of course, the manufacturing aspect, Warren may be others that have different types of products that are produced could share their processes all the while, not revealing their secret sauce, that invites unscrupulous copycats . I love what you did with this and look forward to more! Got You both a thumbs up, and a subscription :-)
Thanks so much, I really appreciate your Work. Above all there was no music in the background ( I love music but not when someone is talking or teaching) you were so clear, straight to the point and motivating Love from Kampala Uganda ❤
It's great that you shared this. Consider opening a second garage and automating your production with robots. Keep the process in your hands rather than outsourcing. You can maintain the same hands-on approach as in your mom's garage but with the efficiency of automation. Just a thought. Your work is impressive and serves as inspiration to many.
I just happened to find this video while scrolling through TH-cam and I really enjoyed it, very interesting and no annoying music, just straight to the point! I drive truck for a living and would love to get into something like this one of these days! Thanks for the interesting video!!
Thank you for this video! I do something similar manufacturing a musical instrument in my garage. I truly believe this is the way of the future for so many of us inventors. It saves so much money to not have to rent a shop somewhere.
Hi Evan your video is mind blowing, I'm a financial advisor and I'm currently trying to build my own business on a retail side just for a side hustle, lots of things that I learned as financial advisor can be applied as well to my side business, however video like this also showed me a lot of untapped business idea in my country. Thank you!
there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal
Hello Evan, thank you for making this video. I have been looking for something like this for a long time now because I have had soooooo many ideas for stuff that didn’t exist and I didn’t know how to go about getting started with the production process. Then a year later I would be shopping somewhere and see the exact same thing that I had been thinking about on the shelf in the store. I can’t begin to tell you how annoyed I would become seeing my idea being sold by someone else. I remember thinking every time “ there goes another million dollar idea” because I didn’t pursue it. After seeing this video I’m really excited to get started on my next venture and I really believe that this video will be a huge part of it for me.
A good idea is labeling before you pour the product(Unless labeler is putting date on.) This will make it your "Mise en place", everything is ready before you produce. Lets you be more prepared if a big order comes in. There is also gains to be had when doing the same thing over and over. When you are real good, you can watch a movie while producing :)
The order shouldn't matter, because this should be done in as close to one piece flow as possible. Batching the bottles in advance would not be a good idea at all. It seems counter intuitive sometimes but a study of lean manufacturing will nearly always end up with this conclusion. Also, depending on the pressure applied by the label applicator, a full/sealed bottle may work better to remain closer to rigid, but that is just a guess.
Yeah that makes sense. I am thinking from a muscle memory perspective. Like doing 1 thing, many times vs many things 1 time But like you stated regarding rigidity, it may or may not work out(depends on the bottle material) but I like your take on it. @@mtbsam68
That liquid burn pen thingy is dope. So fast looking. Is it the liquid that burns and in turn burns the wood? I'm confused and amazed by that. Also, the garage set up is sweet. You're living the dream man.
Explained to us what he does first and all the costs and work behind it and then told us who he was and why he does it while promoting his mentorship program. Thank you for rightly prioritizing what we came to see.
Hey brother, Thank you so much for sharing, and I am now super excited to start something I have been putting off for years. Your video inspired me, and I can't thank you enough. Keep up your excellent work. 🙌🏽
This has inspired me. I've already began my research for creating a product and see how feasible it is and that's without sourcing from bulk suppliers. Thank you for posting, I had no idea such equipment could be purchased for such reasonable prices. Seems like I could easily get my operation up and running for less than $1000.
I'm 48years old living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud that am i now. I'm glad I made great decision about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
yeah she does , and in my opinion, it's a huge one and chance for you to change your life with trading.. I just bought my dream Mercedes from last week's profit. All thanks to her expertise.
As a fellow business person, I love to see ambition like this. Mine is mostly service based, but with a few products I offer other restorers. It appears you are great at marketing.
I have a couple lambos. Problem is my garage doesn’t have space due to my operation. Guess I should have upgraded the garage before buying the lambos 😳
Way to go Evan. My name is Rusty Shaffer and I'm an entrepreneur as well. I've also taught Entrepreneurship at the University of Nevada Reno for 4 years. You appear to be the quintessential entrepreneur and I applaud you for your creative thinking. If I can ever help you with next steps in your business give me a shout. Thanks.
Your biggest thing is to figure out how to become automated and bet you can't wait so you can move on to the next biggest thing. Great accomplishments and growth. Looks really good.
Nice work, Evan. This brings me right back to the "bolt kit packing parties" that my buddies and I used to have when I started my first company. Listening to the arc of your company from self produced to how the relationship with your production suppler developed brings back fond memories. It went pretty much the same way for us as well.
I must say, you spelled out the path to success brilliantly. Figure it out and get it done! It also appears that you naturally possess determination and the ability to find joy in what you do. Well done sir!! I started in my garage a dozen years ago. It took a year to outgrow my garage manufacturing facility of home built machinery. We're now in a million dollar facility we built about three years ago. Through all the ups and downs three things remain- determination, joy and a commitment to figuring it out and getting it done. I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to following your journey. Thanks for choosing to inspire!
The rich are money-minded; that's a lesson I've grasped from the very beginning. My desire to build wealth has always been strong. I’ve set aside $160K since 2020, and I’m eager to invest it in the stock market to grow my financial future. I’d love to hear any recommendations you have.
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. But if you need proper advice, consider speaking with a financial expertise. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.
You are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited $560k in 2022 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
My CFA, Teresa L. Athas, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
excellent share, curiously inputted Judith B Richards on the internet, spotted her consulting page ranked top and was able to schedule a call session. Ive seen commentaries about advisors but not one looks this phenomenal
Great video. Really highlights the importance of reducing the time-to-market. Im sure getting that feedback on the product before the manufacturer starts churning out tens of thousands of units was priceless.
My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.
Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a (CFP) straight up! personally, I would invest in ETF's and also love investing in individual stocks.
I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realizing the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and REITs, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualized gain of 28%.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Product matters- if it was edible, nope. But for profits, you have low overhead, minimal staff, no health and safety , no wasted bonuses on management, everything is a write off as business expense and you both creatively found a way to make it function for you and your product. Awesome job. Also huge props on not have wasted stock laying around, amazon warehouses and everything from china makes me sick.
Holy cow! It took me a loooooong time to learn all of this. This guy just crammed all the legit knowledge down our throats. Fantastic and thank you for sharing.
THIS guy is what it's all about. Biz 101 - find a need. Fulfill that need. Talk to people! Ask questions! Ask them "is there a product/service you've wanted but can't find it?". And then run it, run it, run it baby! Start small and then add on as you go, people are forgiving and understand if you can't do it all at the very beginning! Congrats to Evan
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.
It's a miracle and I would testify, $110,000 every 4 weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself
Great stuff. I have a friend who runs a small garage business, I've often considered doing something similar. Great job setting all that up, I'm glad it's worked out for you. Hard work definitely pays off!
You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Ended up here by following the youtube rabbit hole. While I have no interest in starting up a manufacturing unit in my garage I love seeing how others do stuff like this and enjoy these videos. Thanks for sharing.

Way to go Evan just randomly came across this video, in a rabbit hole of wood working videos. Absolutely love how you made this and I wish you and your friends all the best!
Dang Evan, this was amazing. Thank you for the education but even more than that, thank you for being awesome! I would love to run a small business someday.
I'm filling Maker's Magic. It's a flexible, paintable, clear, craft glue and sealer that my company Scorch Marker invented. We launched it 8 months ago and we are still in the beginning stages. If you want to see where we sell it or if you want to learn more about the business click here: scorchmarker.com

Cool video dude. 👍
Indeed
Maybe I should rent a storage unit because I can’t afford a garage. I need to invest in your business
I am still curious about the craft glue and sealer. How is that different from glue at Homedepot or Lowe's? I have used silicon glue before. I would like to get a new strong glue for outdoors.
Regarding the equipment, I have used them all at work years ago. All of them. from beginning to packaging. I did not see the Lot # printing under the canisters/plastic jars. Every single step you have done, I did it with those machines and fancier ones. It is exciting, it must be more exciting if this whole operations is YOURS. After working doing this, you ask yourself, am I going to fill bottles for the rest of my life? It was a good run for me, but now I switched to my childhood talent. Watercolor and selling images and designs online on platforms. Print on demand. Great video for the youth 18 yr and on, they could successfully run their own business. Filling CBD into jars is so profitable right now. I have done that too. Good luck. Love your nation, love your women, conquer and prosper.

As a small business owner, I'm so happy for your family. My husband created a product in our basement and on Christmas Eve 2017, we sold our first unit. In October of 2019, he quit his corporate job and we were able to work side-by-side (I'm a SAHM) until February 2023 (business was too slow, so he had to go back to corporate world). Business is still slow, but he's back home and we're trying to relaunch our business to bring in new gamers. Your video randomly popped up... and knowing your product (I'm a crafter!), it warmed my heart to know you two started the same way! A smile spread across my face when I saw your little one working with you two. What a gift!!! I wish you two so much success!!! - Denise
What sort of business? How do you market it?
You guys can do it! You got this
Gamers? I'm one, what's your product?
Great success journey
"As a small business owner"
"My husband created a product"
"we sold our first unit"
"he quit his corporate job"

"we're trying to relaunch"
"I'm a crafter"
If your husband is the one making the money and creating the products, you're not a "small business owner", you're an employee who's screwing the owner.

*What this guy shared in this video is a pure unadulterated way to set up a small yet very productive business in their own garage.

He gives you the type of machinery needed because he gets money as they're referral links. Smart business man indeed ;)
@@tiemsels76 For the info yeah, go ahead collect the commission no problem. Good guy for sure.
Selling something in smaller containers at 2x or 10x the cost is not actually productive, it is just being a middleman. No different from buying potatoes and selling them in retail in small quantities.

Congratulations on your success. I’m confident that I could not do what you do, but I can certainly learn from it, so thank you. Cheers!

For me your line, "how lonely I am..." hit home. So true. As a successful entrepreneur who retired in my 40's I understand how lonely one can feel when you are not part of an organization. Pickleball has been my saving grace and contemplating jumping back into the working world as a way to reconnect with like minded business entrepreneurs in the near future.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did you build that allowed you to retire by 40?
Hi William, want to be respectful to Evan and his channel. Short story is I "green field" developed and constructed 25+ utility-scale solar farms over a 8 year window. Long story is learned if you have a high-value and viable product to sell there are plenty of investors and buyers willing to pay good money. @@williamgarcia1995
As someone who has retired so young what advise would you have for someone trying to get in the e-commerce business with no previous experience. I am very interested in learning how to generate passive income but don't know where to start.
This is one of the very best "How To" videos I have seen anywhere! Straight to the point and includes all the basics as briefly as possible. THANKS!
You did the best thing you could ever do... Starting you glue business in your garage and doing it yourself. Now you know your product inside and out.. If something goes wrong with your co-packer, you have the knowledge of being able to do this yourself, o you will be able to supply your customers and not lose any accounts. I have seen people go straight to a co-packer without knowing their products etc, and their co-packer goes under, or decides not to make their product and now, the people have lost all their sales, and customers etc. Keep up the good work! Love it!
Great advice
Great to see another "mfg. in the garage startup". My wife and I did the same 25 years ago making a tablesaw safety tool, the Grip-Tite magnetic feather board. I set up shop in the garage to test the market, and were overwhelmed with success, making more money at a weekend trade show than I had in the previous 6 months. The garage soon had 4 of us pumping out tools in an assembly line- much more complicated than your process (woodworking involved). In a year we had moved on to a large shop with real machinery and 10 employees.
I must say that marketing something is just as important (or more) than producing. We were lucky to find the "Woodworking Shows" (thank you Jerry Cole) where I could demonstrate and sell the Grip-Tite for over 25 years, and retire early .

@@reiniergarcia Why would U say that? It's pretty obvious he's not.
That's funny my whole life. I have invented things for business. But I didn't make one yet. I have a list of options for us, Dave, if you can do the business side. Some are bigger than a garage business, however, so there are options.

Glad it was helpful! no method will be perfect as you know. whatever you focus on will grow :)
@@Vanader sis yu know your recording is actually backwards no words are easily readible .
@@kaboom-zf2bl you are correct. i can fix that next time
@@Vanaderbars,
Thanks Evan!
There is no "perfect growth method" but honestly you're kind of already doing something by interacting with videos like this and social media posts of creators in your niche. This associates your account with other accounts in the niche and increases your chances of your content being shown to people who will like your brand and products.
If you made more social media posts focusing on the crafting/diy niche while interacting with accounts, you can train the algorithms to show you to the right people and increase your conversion. Instagram likes posts daily or almost daily, TH-cam likes weekly uploads. I tell my marketing clients to make 20-30 social media interactions a day on specific creators in the niche per platform (some big, some medium, some small). This could be liking a post, commenting, etc. Like, if I were to break it down, in a month the full marketing load would be producing 4 TH-cam videos and 20 Instagram posts a month (Carousels that tell a story do the best, then reels, then single image posts), with the intention of directing viewers to your Esty shop, or something like a free e-book download where you can capture their email and use email marketing to encourage the sale (I think you can also just do that with Etys' tools)
When it comes to etsy, I find their SEO is really easy to game. Just find your top competitors selling similar items on the top of related search terms, read their description and try and think about the specific keywords they might be targeting in search, and write your descriptions to include those same keywords. I've gotten a few listings on the front page of relatively hot search terms by doing this. Just don't copy/paste it, try and reverse engineer the keyword research they already did.
Good luck, and because youtube is dumb, you'll probably never see this comment.
Wow, what a unique video
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the walk-through of the process and the equipment.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video that show you how to launch a product start to finish like this in six minutes.
Any advice for someone seeking a small-business loan?
I live in a small town and am starting a thrift store. I am already registered and all my docs are intact. The next step, I think, would be to apply for a small-business loan and start looking for a cheap(ish) storefront here in town. For now, I will be renting the local community hall monthly for a "pop-up shop" type of thing, until I can figure out a permanent store location. Just thought that anyone here who has gone through this process might have some words of wisdom! Anything you would have done differently? Anything I should be weary of? Really any advice about small-business loans would be cool! A friend suggested I hire a financial attorney that specializes on helping entrepreneurs get a secure loan for their project.
Your fried. Is right. Banks etc generally won't loan you start up money unless you can show you have vested interest in it. Meaning, how much money are you bringing to the table for this new company. Any that will give you a loan will be high interest rates and personally guaranteed against an asset like your house if you have substantial equity. If you are a renter, this will be an even harder uphill battle.
Big banks that received taxpayer bailouts during the global financial crisis a decade ago are now too slow in helping small businesses seeking assistance through a $349 billion emergency lending program.
That right, hire an attorney to handle your application and increase your chances of approval by 70%. My credit score was 400 and the attorney I hired was still able to help me secure a loan of $150k at a favorable terms. Your credit doesn’t matter if you have a solid connection. Lender are tend to fund applications that come through a trusted source. They will never find the information you provide worthy enough. You need someone they trust to vouch for you.
Thank you so much for this enlightenment! Who is the attorney you work with and how can I get to reach them.
My LLC has been registered for two years. It has an EIN number. No operations at all. I'm ready get it started but I need funding. How can I get an unsecured loan for this LLC? I have poor personal credit. There needs to be a way l secure funding for a brand new LLC so I can finally begin operations. Any website or business lenders that work with businesses with no operational history? I thought having an EIN number would be the first step. I need to get this started now.
I must say, this is one of the best videos on TH-cam. It just showed up in my feed. My ‘algorithm’ is not something that would typically show this. I am into DJ culture, video games and cars.

Awesome tutorial. Your simple teaching skills and sincerity will make this channel one of the best for anyone will to roll up their sleeves and go to work for themselves.
I was recommended this from TH-cam when I have no plans on doing anything similar; but let me add that, this was seriously cool. Seeing the step by step process from start to finish was very insightful from someone with no experience within this particular kind of business.
Same here lol! But love watching his videos.
Witnessing a birth of new ideas and perspectives is exhilarating. I've made better decision that is growing my finance (over $20k every week) keep the videos coming
Investing and trading now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current economic fluctuation and inflations.

This is awesome - way to go! Good to see someone that comes across as humble and grateful winning. I have been working in manufacturing as an engineer, then manager, director, etc... for over 30 years now and at the moment. Back in 2019 I thought of going out on my own to consult, started building a few relationships and opportunities and finally pulled the trigger - about 5 months before KO-Vid hit!!! I got wiped out! No work, no sales, no place to get hired cause no one was even open... it sucked.
So now I am back in the grind and there is no end in sight so I have been thinking of doing something, CNC milling, design a product, something. I have been researching lately for good ideas, opportunities, etc... I do not do too much on line stuff other than watch videos, I do not have social medias other than YT, etc... that stuff makes me a bit uncomfortable. Anyway I am hoping to do something and you probably know the saying "luck favors the prepared". I am very glad to have found your channel.
Thanks you sharing that my friend. I’m glad you’re here
@@Vanader Any thoughts on what is the most important machine (CNC mill vs lathe vs laser engraver/cutter/other???) that you sell the most work on? In other words if I could only afford one machine would you say to get the CNC Mill or a laser engraving machine or something else?

I feel that
amazon isn’t going anywhere, that said branch out to ebay, wish etc.
Amazon will see your success, bleed you or pirate your product and make it themselves. If you don’t play ball they will hide your product in the customer searches. They’ve been prosecuted for it.
Thanks @@tbyoda9475 we already have woocommerce website, Etsy and eBay stores and do a small amount of wholesale but 90+ % of orders come from Amazon, it may not be going anywhere but its hard to get orders elsewhere
Amazon has also been known to competes with theirs retailers. Can't be trusted to operate fairly.

Wow just clicked on your vid out of mild interest as I will be building a workshop/ storage compound very soon. My wife and I are currently off work whilst we renovate our property but are searching options for income instead of re entry into the labour market. We’re both hands on ( carpenter and gardener ) so are comfortable with cottage industry ideas for income. This vid has opened my eyes to what is possible on a small scale operation with complete control of manufacturing processes - many thanks Evan
Thanks Evan, that was an amazing look into the world of somebody in order to encourage people to work for themselves.
I love your entrepreneurial spirit. We need a lot more of this. I manufacture at home. My biggest digital economy disappointment stemmed from my hope that people would use a search engine to find small e-commerce websites and order directly from them, but e-commerce went the other way where there are a few large online distributors that are more efficient than brick and mortar retail but not as efficient as manufacturer-to-consumer sales.
Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.
Retirement is now more difficult than it was in the past. I've been saving for a long time instead of investing, and right now I only have about $400K. considering all the inflation, i'm thinking of investing in stocks, i dont just have idea on market strategies.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800k
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

I came here to say this!
Although I am not planning on selling anything online, your description drew me to this video and I was quite amazed. Not only do you have an amazing speaking voice which is pleasant to listen to, your no bs approach was a win-win. Subscribed.
I've been self employed for a decade plus, and am currently making a product for almost 4 years now, and it is almost %100 (I have the stickers made for me) made by hand, by me alone. I would love to be able to make more units to keep up with demand, but I'm handicapped by my inability to accept outside help, mainly because I feel no one can meet my strict guidelines for quality and detail. I wish I could find a reliable source to at least make some of my parts, to spec, and then I could build more units. You have a simple product with a great production setup, which is every entrepreneurs dream. Great job!
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing. No one needs to do what you have just done. Too generous and full of heart. Thank you
In the late 1980's, I learned how to brew my own beer, and the bottling reminded me of that young, time bringing me back, thank you and congratulations and the best of success to you!

Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.
Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however. I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter
You're absolutely right about the power of compound interest and the long-term potential of investing in index funds like the S&P 500. For many, passive investing in broadly diversified funds can be a reliable strategy over time.
Employing a professional financial analyst or advisor can certainly add value by offering tailored advice, portfolio diversification, risk management, and timely insights. Their expertise can potentially speed up wealth creation and navigate market complexities, but it's important to choose someone reputable and consider their fees, as they can impact your overall returns.
BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.
Gold and copper remains the best investment to venture in, especially as a beginner, it’s not always affected by the downturn of the market
You are bubbling with energy and child like curiosity. Ii's infective and inspiring. Not a trace of fatigue in your presentation after so much hardwork these years. Congrats. Keep going strong. It makes me more stronger at my 63
This is awesome! My husband and I have a watercolor palette and paint making business in our apartment. Right now we just sell on Etsy, but originally he was selling one item on Amazon. We loved watching your video because as you can imagine everything is done by hand and it can be very arduous. We appreciate seeing that there are other options!
I heard etsy takes a significant cut. Are the margins better than amazon?
Really well produced. Hit all the needed points without wasting time. Now I want to build a garage system. Now I need a product to sell! (I have some ideas...) Thank you!
Take notes, video makers. He saw a problem with how tutorials tend to be and he fixed it.
Bravo.
Evan this was fantastic! With the loss of manufacturing in USA, even straightforward, packaging arts have fallen by the wayside. So it’s great to have you sharing on these processes. The end of your video, I could see you being onto something where in this channel becomes of support for Small Business, fabrication and packaging, technology and processes . I mean, yes, there are courses on how to set up with Amazon, but an actual operators lessons learned and tutorial I think, would be both fantastic in superior. Want to cover the business side with taxes and liability in those kinds of things. And then, of course, the manufacturing aspect, Warren may be others that have different types of products that are produced could share their processes all the while, not revealing their secret sauce, that invites unscrupulous copycats .
I love what you did with this and look forward to more! Got You both a thumbs up, and a subscription :-)
Thanks for the words my friend. It means a lot. You nailed it at the end there.
I want to do meaningful work with meaningful people
Thanks so much, I really appreciate your Work. Above all there was no music in the background ( I love music but not when someone is talking or teaching) you were so clear, straight to the point and motivating
Love from Kampala Uganda ❤
Wish there were more people like you in this crazy world. Thank you SO much!
It's great that you shared this. Consider opening a second garage and automating your production with robots. Keep the process in your hands rather than outsourcing. You can maintain the same hands-on approach as in your mom's garage but with the efficiency of automation. Just a thought. Your work is impressive and serves as inspiration to many.
I just happened to find this video while scrolling through TH-cam and I really enjoyed it, very interesting and no annoying music, just straight to the point! I drive truck for a living and would love to get into something like this one of these days! Thanks for the interesting video!!
Thank you for this video! I do something similar manufacturing a musical instrument in my garage. I truly believe this is the way of the future for so many of us inventors. It saves so much money to not have to rent a shop somewhere.
Evan you’re the man. And your wife is a gem, nothing nicer to see than a couple actually being a team
Hi Evan your video is mind blowing, I'm a financial advisor and I'm currently trying to build my own business on a retail side just for a side hustle, lots of things that I learned as financial advisor can be applied as well to my side business, however video like this also showed me a lot of untapped business idea in my country.

Preying on the type of people who WANT without DO
Hello Evan, thank you for making this video. I have been looking for something like this for a long time now because I have had soooooo many ideas for stuff that didn’t exist and I didn’t know how to go about getting started with the production process. Then a year later I would be shopping somewhere and see the exact same thing that I had been thinking about on the shelf in the store. I can’t begin to tell you how annoyed I would become seeing my idea being sold by someone else. I remember thinking every time “ there goes another million dollar idea” because I didn’t pursue it. After seeing this video I’m really excited to get started on my next venture and I really believe that this video will be a huge part of it for me.
A good idea is labeling before you pour the product(Unless labeler is putting date on.) This will make it your "Mise en place", everything is ready before you produce. Lets you be more prepared if a big order comes in. There is also gains to be had when doing the same thing over and over. When you are real good, you can watch a movie while producing :)
The order shouldn't matter, because this should be done in as close to one piece flow as possible. Batching the bottles in advance would not be a good idea at all. It seems counter intuitive sometimes but a study of lean manufacturing will nearly always end up with this conclusion.
Also, depending on the pressure applied by the label applicator, a full/sealed bottle may work better to remain closer to rigid, but that is just a guess.
Yeah that makes sense. I am thinking from a muscle memory perspective. Like doing 1 thing, many times vs many things 1 time
But like you stated regarding rigidity, it may or may not work out(depends on the bottle material) but I like your take on it. @@mtbsam68
That liquid burn pen thingy is dope. So fast looking. Is it the liquid that burns and in turn burns the wood? I'm confused and amazed by that. Also, the garage set up is sweet. You're living the dream man.

HUGE thumbs up to your wife for being so cool about it, not to mention being active part of the process ! Best of luck to both of you !
Hey brother, Thank you so much for sharing, and I am now super excited to start something I have been putting off for years. Your video inspired me, and I can't thank you enough. Keep up your excellent work. 🙌🏽
This has inspired me. I've already began my research for creating a product and see how feasible it is and that's without sourcing from bulk suppliers.
Thank you for posting, I had no idea such equipment could be purchased for such reasonable prices. Seems like I could easily get my operation up and running for less than $1000.
The bigger question is how did you get started with marketing? How did you get all your buyers and make sales?
Hey kid, great video. I’m proud of you and all you have accomplished over the last few years! Pops.
You nailed it. We always feel alone on this journey. Your videos are much appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 48years old living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud that am i now. I'm glad I made great decision about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
the market is profiting if you are using a good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals
As someone who has been trading for me for months, I am a living example of expert Sarah.
yeah she does , and in my opinion, it's a huge one and chance for you to change your life with trading.. I just bought my dream Mercedes from last week's profit. All thanks to her expertise.

As a fellow business person, I love to see ambition like this. Mine is mostly service based, but with a few products I offer other restorers. It appears you are great at marketing.
you are also broke
Evans...You're EXACTLY the kind of person I want to see succeed. Well done and thank you for the video!
This is an eye opener! I would want to make this a set up but for a food setting
its a little different with food. There are some additional regulations. But it's possible! I know people that have succeeded there. You can too.
I've prodduced over 1000 gallons of makers magic now because of this video. Buying a lambo this week
You are a chump. Everyone knows lambos are cheaper in January. I'm questioning your thriftiness.
I have a couple lambos. Problem is my garage doesn’t have space due to my operation. Guess I should have upgraded the garage before buying the lambos 😳
Way to go Evan. My name is Rusty Shaffer and I'm an entrepreneur as well. I've also taught Entrepreneurship at the University of Nevada Reno for 4 years. You appear to be the quintessential entrepreneur and I applaud you for your creative thinking. If I can ever help you with next steps in your business give me a shout. Thanks.
Your biggest thing is to figure out how to become automated and bet you can't wait so you can move on to the next biggest thing. Great accomplishments and growth. Looks really good.
oh man you said it. automation would be amazing its just expensive. good news though! we passed it to a manufacturer so my job is done :)
Nice work, Evan. This brings me right back to the "bolt kit packing parties" that my buddies and I used to have when I started my first company. Listening to the arc of your company from self produced to how the relationship with your production suppler developed brings back fond memories. It went pretty much the same way for us as well.
I must say, you spelled out the path to success brilliantly. Figure it out and get it done! It also appears that you naturally possess determination and the ability to find joy in what you do. Well done sir!! I started in my garage a dozen years ago. It took a year to outgrow my garage manufacturing facility of home built machinery. We're now in a million dollar facility we built about three years ago. Through all the ups and downs three things remain- determination, joy and a commitment to figuring it out and getting it done. I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to following your journey. Thanks for choosing to inspire!
Need more people like you in this country! Great job
Ironic
This is what entrepreneurship is all about. You are generous in information. I hope this video inspires thousands of people. Subscribed.
The rich are money-minded; that's a lesson I've grasped from the very beginning. My desire to build wealth has always been strong. I’ve set aside $160K since 2020, and I’m eager to invest it in the stock market to grow my financial future. I’d love to hear any recommendations you have.
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. But if you need proper advice, consider speaking with a financial expertise. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.
You are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited $560k in 2022 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this manager for my dwindling portfolio. Who’s the professional guiding you?
My CFA, Teresa L. Athas, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
excellent share, curiously inputted Judith B Richards on the internet, spotted her consulting page ranked top and was able to schedule a call session. Ive seen commentaries about advisors but not one looks this phenomenal
So inspiring! I want to start a small business myself, and this gives me hope!
Great video. Really highlights the importance of reducing the time-to-market. Im sure getting that feedback on the product before the manufacturer starts churning out tens of thousands of units was priceless.
My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.
Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a (CFP) straight up! personally, I would invest in ETF's and also love investing in individual stocks.
I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realizing the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and REITs, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualized gain of 28%.
Your advisor must be really good, how I can get in touch with them as my porfolio isn't doing well.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Interesting. I am on her site doing my due diligence. She seems proficient. I wrote her an email and scheduled a phone call.
Product matters- if it was edible, nope. But for profits, you have low overhead, minimal staff, no health and safety , no wasted bonuses on management, everything is a write off as business expense and you both creatively found a way to make it function for you and your product. Awesome job.
Also huge props on not have wasted stock laying around, amazon warehouses and everything from china makes me sick.
Holy cow! It took me a loooooong time to learn all of this. This guy just crammed all the legit knowledge down our throats. Fantastic and thank you for sharing.
THIS guy is what it's all about. Biz 101 - find a need. Fulfill that need. Talk to people! Ask questions! Ask them "is there a product/service you've wanted but can't find it?". And then run it, run it, run it baby! Start small and then add on as you go, people are forgiving and understand if you can't do it all at the very beginning! Congrats to Evan
Sir, you have motivated me beyond belief. I will review all your videos this week. Im sure it will be amazing to learn from you. Tyvm
thanks for watching my stuff friend it means a lot
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.
I'm glad I was introduced to forex trading and got the best teacher and mentor who helped me understand the financial market I'm grateful to Mrs Liam🙏
It's a miracle and I would testify, $110,000
every 4 weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.
I have made more than 90K USD God bless Lucy Mary Liam God bless United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself
Thank you Lucy Mary Liam $45,000 weekly Profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Great stuff. I have a friend who runs a small garage business, I've often considered doing something similar. Great job setting all that up, I'm glad it's worked out for you. Hard work definitely pays off!
Landed here randomly, but stayed for your amazing story.
Me too
You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Maria davis program is widely available online..
I'm glad to write her tay I do hope she will help handle my paycheck properly
Can I start with as low as $1000
The very first time we tried, we invested $2500, and after a week, we received $19,750.
That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills
I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.
Ended up here by following the youtube rabbit hole. While I have no interest in starting up a manufacturing unit in my garage I love seeing how others do stuff like this and enjoy these videos. Thanks for sharing.
Whenever i hear about such businesses, it makes me wish i could think of something to produce at home
Well done. Created a business for yourself and helping others to start their own ventures. Hats off to you, sir.(and everyone else involved)

Stay away from these folks.

Way to go Evan just randomly came across this video, in a rabbit hole of wood working videos. Absolutely love how you made this and I wish you and your friends all the best!
This was absolutely awesome to watch. You are one resourceful guy. So awesome to see how a business like yours scales up.
Step one: make enough money to own a garage
Gotta spend money to make money.
