Machine first or connection first for starting a business?
Hi, I'm a CNC programmer/machinist, can handle up to 11 axis mill turn. Right now I'm working in a big city's big university's research institute as a machinist(doing everything), pay is not that good, just easy life everyday and great pension and insurance plans. But I can't afford to buy a living place here.
I'm thinking to go back to the city I used to live to start my own business, but I only have machine shop experiences. I had a B.Sc before I came to North America, but never use it.
So should I buy a machine then start to look for potential customers or I should find some engineering company, get a drafting job first and build some connections?
Thanks,
