Hello John...
You have the right attitude and passion that is the basis for success.
Life is all about Opportunity. Most people sit around waiting for opportunity to knock on their door... it doesn't happen. You create your own opportunities. You do need to take some risks, financial as well as professionally.
I am somewhat older than you and only been involved in CNC for about 8 months. But in that short time I have seen so many opportunities to develop businesess that I am selling my share in my practice (Accounting/ Financial Planning) to establish a CNC related business.
My only problem is deciding which business route/product I am going to follow. There are so many opportunities. I will need to narrow it down to one or two. Right now I am making my machine in readyness for next year. I am even in the planning stages of machine #2 to cover production demand...
I see you are situated in England and depending on where you are, large city or rural will dictate somewhat the opportunities.
I would love to help steer you in the right direction/ discuss your ideas and also share my ideas with you. Please email me at

I think CNC business ideas should be a New post area. Maybe I'll start one.
