How strapped for money are you? Are you making profits, losing money, or just kind of in a no-profit limbo?

If you're anxious because the "next level" will be too much of a managerial burden for you, you're probably right and will need to hire out even more additional memebers

I have a two-day a week side job as a tutor for my old University for the Management/Accounting students so that plus optional overtime get's me by fine - plus a good amount of savings.

I would say the company is in a no-profit limbo. One could even say that I have a slight fear of taking things to the next level and being afraid of failure, even though the "board is set" so to speak.

This is what I'm currently working on. Training my 2nd in command and searching for interns.

I'm thinking about starting a project but I realized that it would take a lot more than just a basement operation. I wanted to start manufacturing cheap 3d printers for people as an introduction to the process. Similar to the idea of Arduino or Rasberry-pi being for students or people who want to learn about electronics. I thought of maybe including it in a "build it your own" kind of way so people can learn about electronics more. The main problem is that some of the part would require actual manufacturing operations in order to realistically make these printers cheap. I though about maybe looking around on Chinese wholesalers or something. Any advice or support would be very helpful. A friend of mine tried starting a music company too OP.

I'd hate to sound really cliche, but I'm just gonna do it anyways.
You need to set that fear aside, especially if your gut feeling is telling you to jump for it, but the fear of losing what you built is keeping you back. There might be a few examples of lucky one-hit-wonders that thought of great products and cashed out, but those are more rare than failing plenty of times early, and finally hitting the mark after a lot of painful attempts.

You're in a pretty key position already, since you already have a foundation - you just need to push that through and apply your heart and soul into it. Obviously stagnating in this limbo won't get you anywhere, but you're not doing something wrong if you aren't losing a bunch of money, so why not go for it?

If it doesn't work out, it's not the end of the world. At least you've got some great experience to apply to the next idea. If it does work out, give me some records for helping you out ;).

And just a side note - By "experience" I mean, if it doesn't work out, learn exactly what happened, why it happened, what you should have done, and what you will promise to yourself you won't do next time.

This is the difference between shooting in the dark, and making educated guesses.

You'd be surprised how much cheesy words of encouragement actually work. Thank you, anon.

How did your friend do?
