Hey all,

> I think we all here enjoy the fact that a CNC router has become accessible for nearly anyone today. But if you think of the fact that the Onefinity manufacturer alone has sold about 20,000 of them, do you really believe that all of those buyers now can make $500,000 because they own a CNC now?
> 
> It is **extremely** difficult to start a business with selling something that you produce yourself (especially if what you could produce can also be produced in large batches by badly paid chinese with no right to found a labor union or to criticize their boss or the government and have no health insurance, products that then can be sent in big containers to the US and to the EU).
> 
> To make money with a business, what you need, is not only a very good idea, but also to achieve a lot of other steps and make no mistakes then (and also have luck). Like the myth of the dishwasher that can become a millionaire, it is an absolute minority of people that first were dishwashers that can really hope to become something else than a dishwasher in their life. It’s a myth.
> 
> It’s a really good idea that you need, a really good one. And then a good knowledge of how to run a business too, including what is needed then, e.g. market analysis, marketing, web appearance, enterprise resource planning etc.
> 
> The Onefinity manufacturer is an example of something that worked, a good idea and obviously many things were done right, and luck was also there I am sure. I wish everybody who founds a business luck! And I’m happy for everyone for whom it works out, because it’s so incredibly hard to pull off.

So if you are looking for a business with the expectation of success, you could become a Onefinity distributor.
