🔧 What is an Engineer and Why Are They the Most Important People on the Planet?

Engineers are the backbone of society. 🏗️ Without us, nothing would exist—no roads, no cars, no phones, not even the Wi-Fi you're using to read this text. 🌍

Let’s be clear:

✔️ Engineers create value from nothing.
✔️ Everyone else simply organizes, manages, or profits from our work.
✔️ Every technological advancement, every innovation, and every infrastructure project starts with an engineer.

⏳ If all lawyers, marketers, or stockbrokers disappeared tomorrow, life would go on. But if engineers vanished? The world as we know it would collapse. 💥

🧠 Critical Thinking – The Engineer’s Superpower

Today’s education system focuses on memorization rather than understanding. 🤯 But engineers don’t work that way. Our minds operate differently:

🔹 We question everything.
🔹 We break problems down into smaller parts.
🔹 We find practical solutions to theoretical obstacles.

👷‍♂️ An engineer is the person who bridges theory with reality.

⚡ Their mission? To take a problem and turn it into a functional, efficient, and innovative solution.

🛠️ How Do You Become an Engineer?

Becoming an engineer isn’t just about getting a degree. It’s about thinking, operating, and seeing the world in a specific way.

💡 The essential traits of a true engineer:

✅ Creativity – The best solutions are always smart and unexpected.
✅ Resilience to failure – First, you fail. Then you try again. That’s how innovation happens.
✅ Lifelong learning – Engineers never stop learning.
✅ Practical mindset – We can see ten different solutions to a problem in seconds.

🚀 Being an engineer is not just a profession. It’s a way of life.

👀 Does this sound familiar?
👉 If you think this way, you’re in the right place.

🔥 Are you ready to dive deeper into the world of innovation? In the next chapter, we’ll explore the stages of invention and how an engineer turns an idea into reality! ⚙️🚀

🔥 Creativity Can’t Be Put in a Box

When you're creating, don’t think about rules, procedures, or regulations. 🤯
📌 You can’t put something in a box when you don’t even know how it will turn out.

🎯 Your goal? To adapt to your environment while operating freely. If you limit yourself before you even begin, you’ll never create anything truly new.

⚙️ Laws Are Made AFTER Innovation

All laws, procedures, and regulations that limit a new idea are only created AFTER the idea or product exists. 🏗️

💡 Think about this:
When we first created drones, we didn’t imagine they would one day revolutionize warfare. 🎮 Back then, all we wanted was to fly through the sky like birds, without risking our lives. 🦅

📜 And yet, today, there are thousands of laws, regulations, and restrictions around this technology.
🤔 If, back then, we had worried about all these future limitations…
❌ We might never have created drones in the first place!

🎯 You Define the Future – Don’t Let Anyone Stop You!

✅ Focus on your goal.
✅ Change the world.
✅ You decide what is right and what is wrong.

⚠️ No one can limit something they don’t even understand yet!

📌 Stop trying to be like everyone else.
🔥 Be unique. Create something no one has ever seen – not even in their wildest dreams! 💡✨

🔥 Set Your Priorities from Day One

From the very beginning, from your first design, your focus should always be:
✔️ The product you are creating 🏗️
✔️ The money it will generate 💰
✔️ The business you will build around it 📈

⚠️ The Big Trap of Creation

🛑 If you design, build, or innovate, there is a dangerous trap:

👉 You start with a clear goal, but along the way, new problems appear.
👉 If you’re not careful, you’ll get lost solving secondary issues instead of focusing on your main goal.

📌 Example:
You want to launch a phone case 📱 on the market.

🔹 Suddenly, you realize you don’t have an e-shop.
🔹 You start building one, but you get stuck in the process.
🔹 Mistake! Your goal is not to become an expert in e-commerce, but to sell your phone case as quickly as possible!

💡 Don’t let side problems distract you from your core mission.

🚀 Technology & Research Are Tools – Not the Goal

✔️ You’re not creating for the sake of technology – you’re creating for the market.
✔️ Your goal is to stand out & attract customers.
✔️ Your goal is to make people give you their money.

💰 Money Is the Goal – Learn to Charge from the Start

🔹 We live in a world that runs on capital.
🔹 Many of us have families & responsibilities.
🔹 From day one, from the first demo, you must learn to charge!

🚫 Don’t fall into the trap of giving your product away for free just because “it’s still in testing.”

💡 If someone doesn’t pay, then:
❌ They don’t truly value it.
❌ They might only want it because it’s free.

🏆 Real Success: Paid Trials

✅ Charge from the first test.
✅ Charge for the first demo product.
✅ See which product or service people are actually willing to pay for.

💰 That’s the real validation: When someone doesn’t just give you their time, but their money. 🚀

🔥 Money Is Not a Requirement to Get Started

It’s a huge mistake to think that you can’t start because you don’t have money. 🚫💸
📌 If your idea is truly good, the capital will come.

💡 Investors don’t fund just ideas.
👉 They invest in people who show determination.
👉 They invest in products that have already proven their value through sales and results.

If you're waiting for funding first, you might never start at all.

⚠️ The Risk of Having Too Much Capital Too Soon

🔹 If you start with too much money, you might invest in the wrong equipment.
🔹 In the early stages, you don’t know exactly what you need.
🔹 If you buy expensive machinery, you risk either throwing it away or selling it at a loss later.

💡 A better strategy:
✅ Start with small machines & limited production.
✅ If production proves successful, then scale up gradually.

🏗️ Real Example – My Mistake & What I Learned

🔹 When I opened my workshop in Mytilene, I wanted to use CNC & laserjet machines.
🔹 I invested over €20,000 in equipment.
🔹 The results weren’t what I expected.

💡 In the end, I switched to 3D printing and continued with a €400 printer instead!

✅ Lesson learned: If I had started with a smaller investment, I could have avoided a major financial risk.

🔄 Test Before You Buy – Reduce Risk

✔️ Rent or borrow equipment before making a big investment.
✔️ Use existing production lines – even if it means partnering with others.
✔️ Experiment at a low cost and see what truly works.

📌 Only when you're sure about your process should you invest in your own equipment.

💡 Remember: Capital is a tool – it’s not a requirement to start.
🔥 Execution is what truly matters! 🚀

🔥 Creation Requires Isolation

It’s impossible to design, build, and innovate in the middle of chaos. 🏙️❌
📌 The only way to turn your idea into a product is to isolate yourself.

👉 Alone, if you work solo.
👉 With your team, if you collaborate with others.

🏗️ Engineers Start Later – And That’s OK

Most engineers don’t start pursuing their dream from day one. Usually:

⏳ We spend 4-5 years in the job market.
📌 We run projects that fail or don’t generate enough income.
📌 We don’t have the freedom to move as we wish.

💡 And when we finally decide to take the leap...
💥 We can’t do it in the same environment that held us back!

⚠️ You Have to Change Everything

✅ New people around you.
✅ New city or even a new country.
✅ New habits & diet.
✅ New mindset & behavior.

📌 Essentially, you need to become a different person if you want to bring your idea to life.

🔥 My Own Story – A Radical Change

📌 When I decided to create my own school,
👉 I left my wife & kids in Mytilene.
👉 I moved to Thessaloniki.

⏳ In just 3 months, I accomplished what I hadn’t been able to in 12 years.
🔥 Yes, it was hard. Yes, I failed multiple times.
💡 But the results were massive, in a much shorter time and with higher quality.

🤔 What’s Worse?

To do this, you’ll need people who support you. But... problems will arise.

🔹 Question:
👉 Would you rather upset some people now, knowing you might create something unique?
👉 Or do nothing, stay an employee, and regret it in 10 years?

Choose which regret would hurt more – and do the opposite.

🏆 This Path Is Not for Everyone

💡 Yes, it’s hard.
💪 Yes, it requires sacrifices.
🚀 But this is the only way to move forward.

🔥 It’s not for everyone – it’s for the few who dare.

🔥 Deciding to Start Changes Everything

The moment you decide to start, everything will change dramatically within days. It’s completely normal to face challenges:

🔹 In your personal life
🔹 In your daily routine

⚠️ Don’t stress! This is part of the process.

❌ Panic Is Your Worst Enemy

The worst thing that can happen is falling into panic mode.

❌ Panic leads to rushed and poor decisions.
❌ You waste time and energy with no real progress.

💡 Remember: If you have access to large capital, you might make impulsive purchases and investments you don’t actually need. This can block the future growth of your idea.

🧘‍♂️ Don’t Forget to Live

Besides being engineers and creators, we are human beings.

✅ Rest
✅ Eat well
✅ Go for a walk
✅ Have fun and enjoy life

📌 You are a person, not a machine!

🛑 When a Day Doesn't Go Well… Stop

🔹 If your project isn’t progressing, don’t force it.
🔹 Step away for a while.
🔹 Relax and do something that clears your mind:

➡️ Take a walk in nature 🌳
➡️ Listen to music 🎧
➡️ Watch a movie 🎬

💡 The same mind that created the problem cannot be the one to solve it.
✨ You need a reset, a refresh, and a mental reboot to find the solution.

🚀 The power of fast action lies in balance. Don’t rush, don’t stress, and always remember to live! 🌟

🔥 You Can’t Solve Problems in an Industry Without Working in It

It’s practically impossible to develop a solution for a professional field if you haven’t worked or collaborated in it.

📌 Want to create value in an industry?
✅ Start working in it!

💡 If you’re already working in that field, you’ve solved the first and most critical problem.

⚠️ The Mistake That Leads to Failure

🚫 Many people create “solutions” for problems that don’t actually exist because they don’t understand the reality of the industry.

👉 If you don’t understand the workflow, needs, and challenges of a customer or business, then:
❌ You’ll build something no one needs.
❌ You’ll waste time & money in the wrong direction.

🏆 My Own Lesson – The First European Award

📌 When I first managed a team of kids, I thought teaching would be easy.
👉 I assumed they would listen to me with excitement, just as I had in my own classes.

💥 How wrong I was!

🔸 The kids came in tired & uninterested.
🔸 Many were forced by their parents to attend.
🔸 They were bored of the usual robotics projects & LEGO.

💡 I had to find a completely different way to excite them.

🎯 Get in the Field – Gain Experience

📌 Don’t assume you understand an industry unless you’ve worked in it.

✅ Work for at least 6 months in real-world conditions.
✅ Experience the problem firsthand.
✅ See what the market truly needs.

📌 Only then will the solution you offer have real value! 🚀

🔥 Passion Is the Key to Innovation

We are engineers. 🏗️ The only way to create real value is to be excited and fully committed to the problem you're solving.

👉 If the problem doesn’t excite you, then it’s probably not the right problem for you.

🎯 Find the Problem That Makes You Want to Work for Hours

🔹 What truly excites you in your field?
🔹 What process do you see being done wrong that you know you can improve?
🔹 What tool or steps can you replace?
🔹 What software can you develop to enhance your industry?

💡 The problem you choose to solve should create maximum value while keeping you motivated.

❌ If It Doesn’t Excite You, You Will Fail

🛑 If you work on something that doesn’t excite you or isn’t a real problem, two things will happen:

1️⃣ If it’s not a real problem, no one will care about your solution.
2️⃣ If it doesn’t excite you, you’ll get bored, lose interest, and quit.

📌 That’s why choosing the right problem is crucial!

✅ The 3 Criteria for Choosing the Right Problem

1️⃣ It must be a real problem. 🛠️
2️⃣ You must be excited to solve it. 🔥
3️⃣ You must be willing to sacrifice everything to fix it. 💪

💡 If it doesn’t meet all three criteria, don’t waste your time!

🏆 My Own Problem – How I Found It

📌 In my workshop, the thing that excited me the most was the look on children’s faces when they created something unique.

🔹 The joy in their parents’ eyes when they saw their kids holding a new creation.
🔹 The way parents talked about it with pride.

💡 I wanted to relive that moment over and over again.

🛑 The problem I identified:

👉 The robotics industry had extremely poor equipment.
👉 After the 4th grade, it was difficult to keep kids engaged.

🚀 And that’s how my solution was born.

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn – What Problem Will You Solve?

👉 Find what excites you.
👉 Make sure it’s worth your time and energy.
👉 And give it everything you’ve got! 🚀

🔥 From Observation to Action

Once you have:
✅ Worked and gained experience in the industry of the problem you want to solve,
✅ Identified the problem you want to focus on,

📌 It’s time to start finding viable, functional, and logical solutions.

❌ Don’t Expect Others to Take Action

🚫 There’s no point in blaming others or waiting for someone else to solve the problem.

👉 If they had your perspective, they would have already solved it!
👉 You don’t need to wait for anyone – solving it is your responsibility.

💡 Start building prototypes and discussing your idea with as many people as possible.

⚖️ When Is a Solution Worth Your Time?

🔹 If your solution is too simple…
❌ It’s not worth your time. Move on to the next problem.

🔹 If your solution is too difficult…
✅ Share your idea with everyone!

🚀 Don’t be afraid of someone stealing it.
👉 If it’s that difficult, only a few will be able to execute it.

📌 Gather feedback from your discussions and refine your solution.

🏆 My Own Example – Battle Bots

📌 The problem:
The equipment for robotics was extremely limited.

📌 The solution:
👉 I designed Battle Bots! 🤖🔥

🚫 Most people believed something like this could only be done in TV studios in the U.S.
💡 But I had the vision to bring it to every classroom in Greece – and beyond!

🎯 Believing in my solution, I started building the first prototypes.

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Find the solution that’s worth pursuing.
👉 Share your idea.
👉 Build your first prototypes and test your solution in the real world! 🚀

🔥 From Idea to Reality

Once you’ve identified the problem, the next step is to start solving it.

📌 Act fast, keep it simple, and stay cost-effective!

👉 Don’t wait for the perfect moment.
👉 Don’t expect the perfect product.

💡 Start with something basic, easy to build, and affordable.

⚠️ Your First Prototype DOES NOT Have to Be Perfect

🚫 It doesn’t need all the specs from the start.
🚫 It doesn’t have to be high quality.

✅ It just needs to work and prove that your solution has value.

💡 If the problem is real and your solution is useful, people will embrace it—even if it’s not perfect!

🏆 Our First Prototypes – From a Wooden Robot to Battle Bots

📌 Our first prototype:
👉 A simple wooden robot with a Swiffer attached to clean the shop’s corners. 🧹🤖
👉 Even though it was simple, kids loved it and played with it all day!

📌 Our first vehicles:
👉 Built in less than three weeks.
👉 They were just boxes with a ramp in the front and four motors in the back.
👉 The wheels were simply screwed onto the motors—but they worked!

🚀 The most important thing?
They weren’t perfect, but they proved our idea worked!

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Forget perfection.
👉 Start building your first prototype.
👉 See how people react—and improve it along the way! 🚀

🔥 From Theory to Reality

Until now, everything was in your head – just ideas and possibilities.

📌 Now, you have something real in your hands.
👉 Your first product
👉 Your first prototype
👉 Your first working code

🔹 This gives you the power to bring it into the world!

🤝 Get Out There – Ask, Learn, Network!

🚀 This is where the real work begins.

👉 Ask people around you.
👉 Learn from their feedback.
👉 Network and let as many people as possible test your product.

📌 Start with friends & family.
📌 Then, approach anyone you can—even strangers on the street!

💡 Connect with people who already work in the industry you’re trying to improve.

👉 If you’re already part of this professional circle, you can test your product immediately!

🏆 Our Example – The First Battle Bots in the Arena

📌 In our case:
✔️ We had kids in our workshop.
✔️ We had the space, the classes & the arena.

💡 All I had to do was place the vehicles inside the arena & let the battles begin.

🎯 The kids went crazy! Within ten minutes, they had fully embraced the game and wouldn’t stop playing.

🔗 This led to:
✅ Invitations from local schools.
✅ Participation in the Christmas Village organized by the Municipality of Mytilene.
✅ A growing network that wouldn’t have existed otherwise!

⚠️ Reminder – This Is Still the Free Testing Phase

🔹 Users haven’t paid yet.
🔹 This means you can experiment more freely.
🔹 Ask for feedback, see what works and what doesn’t.

🚀 Without networking, without people giving you input, you can’t move forward.

💡 Get out there & learn from real-world experience!

🔥 From Testing to Refinement

After completing your tests with friends and acquaintances, it’s time for the next step: improvement.

📌 This is the phase where you review everything you’ve done so far.

👉 The better your initial work, the less effort you’ll need now.

⚡ My Challenge – Durable but Breakable Vehicles

🔹 For me, this was the most difficult stage.

🚀 The kids loved the product, but they destroyed it within minutes!

📌 I had to find a solution:
👉 Make the vehicles more durable…
👉 …but also easy to break, so kids could enjoy building & repairing them.

💡 A paradoxical challenge—but it had to be solved!

🏆 From Idea to Patent

📌 The solution?
✅ I designed a new method to attach the rubber to the vehicle’s chassis.
✅ I later patented this method.

💡 This allowed me to create an improved product by combining:
🔹 The original features of the prototype.
🔹 The data from testing and user feedback.
🔹 Our future plans for further development.

🚀 Now, we weren’t working with assumptions—we had real data and knowledge!

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Analyze feedback from your tests.
👉 Apply improvements to your product.
👉 Combine what you’ve learned with your vision for the future.

💡 Growth is the key—don’t be afraid to refine your idea! 🚀

🔥 From Idea to Capital

After completing all improvements, it's time to launch the first beta product.

📌 This phase requires extreme attention because now the product will be sold.

👉 It must include all the improvements from the previous stage.
👉 We need to see who is actually willing to pay for it.

💰 This Is Where the Money Begins

🚀 At this stage, the idea turns into capital.
💡 From now on, we start making money.

📌 No more testing for fun – it’s time to see if your idea truly has value.

🏆 My Experience – €9,000 in 15 Days

📌 For me, this phase started in the “robotics cabin.”
👉 Just 3 months after creating the core product.

📌 The results:
✅ In 15 days, we collected over €9,000 💰
✅ Parents & kids were paying to play with the cars.
✅ We gathered all the data needed to understand what the market was truly willing to pay for.

💡 We gained feedback, data, and—most importantly—real money from our idea.

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Launch your BETA product.
👉 See who is truly willing to pay for it.
👉 Turn your idea into real capital! 🚀

🎯 No More Excuses – Work Hard!

📌 Your product is now on the market.
📌 People have trusted you and paid for something that started as just an idea.

🚀 From now on, your success depends on hard work & continuous improvement.

💡 Now, you must learn from your real customers—not from friends or family.

🎧 Listen, Take Notes & Take Action

👉 Ask for feedback on the user experience of your product or service.
👉 Listen carefully to every detail & every problem they faced.
👉 Help your customers solve any difficulties they encounter.

🎯 Your goal? To provide them with the best possible experience.

🏆 My Experience – From Selling to Improving

📌 In my case, inside the robotics cabin:
✅ We had daily communication with parents.
✅ We were ready to launch the workshop.
✅ Everything was running smoothly & the process was working perfectly.

💡 Continuous interaction with customers was the key to improving!

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Ask your customers for feedback—again & again!
👉 Listen carefully & enhance their experience.
👉 Show them you care & deliver real value! 🚀

🎯 From BETA to Mass Production

Once you have:
✅ Confirmed that your product works.
✅ Finalized it & launched it as a beta.

📌 The next step is marketing & promotion.

🎯 Goal: Reach more people, get them to buy it, and move toward mass production.

📱 Use Social Media – No More Excuses

🔹 We live in the era of social media.
🔹 You already have a phone in your hands.
🔹 You already have a mouth – start talking! 🎤

👉 Make videos, talk about your product all day!
👉 Show it from 15,000 different angles.
👉 Upload 500 videos if needed.

🚀 Observe how your audience reacts & adjust accordingly.

💡 Don’t sell it directly – present it as a hobby!
✅ “I’m doing this as a hobby, what do you think?”
✅ “Do you like it? Would you buy it?”

🏆 My Experience – Live Streaming & Thousands of Viewers

📌 I started doing live streams while building my car prototype. 🚗
📌 I uploaded dozens of videos.

💥 I ended up with over 2,000 viewers in each live session!

🔥 Everyone kept asking:
👉 What is this thing I’m making?
👉 How can they build one too?
👉 Where can they buy it & what do they need?

💡 That’s when I realized something important:
✔️ People were extremely interested!
❌ But I hadn’t structured my product & sales process properly.

📌 I needed to make it simpler & more polished.
🚀 But now I knew there was demand!

💰 Now Is the Time to Set Prices & Sales Channels

👉 Decide on your product’s price.
👉 Define your distribution & sales channels.
👉 Use all your skills to sell it.

⚠️ Finding someone to help you at this stage won’t be easy – the responsibility is yours.
💡 Now is the time to be decisive & make your product known! 🚀

🎯 Exposure Comes with Consequences

📌 Once you put yourself out there, you have to accept the reactions.

👉 Your product might not appeal to everyone.
👉 Unpredictable factors can affect you.
👉 There are countless things that could go wrong.

🚀 Don’t be afraid to change everything—except the goal!

💡 You designed it.
💡 You built it.
💡 You have full control.

📌 Adapt, improve, and make sure your product fits the market.

🎯 Remember: The goal is money & the business around your product or service.

🏆 My Own Change – From Physical Product to Digital Platform

📌 Instead of just selling the vehicle or keeping the educational process inside my workshop…

✅ I transferred all my experience & knowledge into an online educational platform.
✅ This gave access to teachers, parents & kids everywhere!

🚀 Adapting led to new opportunities & greater scalability.

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 If something isn’t working, change it!
👉 Adjust your strategy, but never your goal.
👉 Find a better way to make your product a success! 🚀

🔥 The Final & Most Crucial Stage

📌 Finish what you started, whether it’s a product or a service.

🚀 Nothing half-finished can enter the market or be sold successfully.

💡 At this point, you have:
✅ Data from real users
✅ Money from initial sales
✅ Feedback from actual customers
✅ Experience from market exposure

🎯 You know what works & what doesn’t – now is the time to finalize your product.

🛠️ Your Product Must Be Clear & Easy to Understand

💡 Even if the technology behind it is complex, the solution it provides must be simple.

📌 Make sure your audience understands:
🔹 What your product offers.
🔹 How it works & how it solves the problem.
🔹 Who it is for.
🔹 How easy it is to buy and use.

🚀 It’s not enough to complete the product – you must also refine your offer!

🏆 My Own Journey – My Product Is Still Evolving

📌 Personally, I am still working to complete my platform.

🎯 The work never truly stops – but completion is the key to success.

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Don’t leave your product half-finished.
👉 Finalize it, refine your offer & make sure your audience understands its value.
👉 Give it the best possible chance to succeed! 🚀

🎯 Be Careful with Scaling – Production Can Destroy You

📌 When scaling up your production, serious problems can arise that you might not have anticipated.

👉 How you handle this transition will determine whether your business thrives or collapses.

⚠️ The Problem of Human Dependency in Production

💡 If your product requires highly specialized skills, you will face challenges when scaling up.

🚨 Why?
👉 You won’t always find the same skilled workers.
👉 Your product won’t always maintain the same quality.
👉 The larger your team, the lower the consistency.

✅ Solution: Automate your production as much as possible.
👉 Remove human dependency from critical stages.
👉 Use machines & technology that provide stable results.

⚠️ The Problem of Expensive Equipment & Low Production Capacity

🚨 If your production requires high-cost machines with low output, you’re in trouble.

👉 You will need multiple machines just to produce small quantities.
👉 If you rent equipment, it may not be available when demand grows.
👉 If you buy it, you might never recover the costs.

✅ Solution:
🔹 Calculate the return on investment for your equipment.
🔹 Ensure that your product can cover the cost of production.
🔹 If it doesn’t, look for a more efficient production method.

📊 How Many Products Do You Need to Sell to Double Your Production?

💡 Many businesses fail because they don’t plan their scaling process correctly.

📌 Example:
👉 If every 100 products require a machine that costs as much as 1,000 products – you have a problem.
👉 If every 100 products require a machine that costs only 20 products – then you have profit!

🚨 The same principle applies to storage.
👉 If 100 products need 1,000 m² of storage space, then 1,000 products will need 10,000 m².
👉 If your profit margin doesn’t cover this expansion cost, your business might collapse.

✅ Solution:
🔹 Find ways to scale production without exponentially increasing costs.
🔹 Don’t invest in massive infrastructure unless you’re sure the demand will match it.

🏆 My Choice – 3D Printing for Flexibility & Low Cost

📌 To avoid all these problems, I chose to base my production on 3D printing.

✅ Why?
👉 I transferred all my knowledge into 3D design & 3D printing machines.
👉 A 3D printer is small & affordable – I can buy many without massive costs.
👉 My production can scale up easily & quickly.
👉 No specialized workers needed – anyone can use a 3D printer.

🚀 This made 3D printing the best choice for my business and the products I manufacture.

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Analyze your production process before scaling your business.
👉 Calculate your equipment & storage costs properly.
👉 Think about automation and risk reduction strategies.

🚀 Scaling can either take you to the top or ruin you – it’s up to you to manage it wisely!

🎯 You Can’t Go Far Alone

📌 No matter how skilled you are, staying solo will keep you stuck in a loop.

👉 Growth requires collaboration.
👉 You need partners, salespeople, and people who will help you evolve.
👉 You must be ready to share responsibilities – and possibly some control.

🚀 But choosing the right people is crucial.

⚠️ The Risks of Partners & Investors

💡 Don’t fall into the trap of accepting any partnership or investment.

🚫 Some investors will only invest to shut you down.
👉 They might already be funding a competing product.
👉 They may see your idea as a threat and want to "kill" it.

🚫 Others will help you grow—just to sell you off later.
👉 You need to consider whether you can handle such a situation.

💡 The ideal partnership:
✅ An investor who genuinely wants to help.
✅ Someone who believes in your product and wants to scale it with you.
✅ A partner who shares your values and vision.

🚀 For engineers, our creations are like our children – the goal is to find the right partners to "raise" them together!

⚠️ Don’t Choose People Who Are Just Like You

❌ If you gather people just like you, you’ll end up in endless conflicts & wasted time.
❌ You don’t need someone to "cover" you – you need someone to complement you.

💡 Innovation is NOT a democracy!

👉 There’s no room for endless "democratic" discussions.
👉 Innovation needs decisions, numbers, and quick rejections of bad ideas.
👉 It always moves forward, led by the creator – YOU!

🚀 No one can see your vision the way you do.

🏆 My Experience – Moving Forward Alone Until I Find the Right People

📌 I already have two investors who may join in the future.
📌 But I’m still searching because no one fully understands the scale of my idea.

🔥 Most people think it’s something small & unrealistic.
💡 If that discourages you – push forward alone.

🚀 With AI & modern technologies, you can build something huge without a big team!

🔥 Now It’s Your Turn!

👉 Find partners who complement you, not ones who copy you.
👉 Don’t let the wrong investors destroy your vision.
👉 If you can’t find the right people – move forward alone until you do! 🚀

🎯 Soft Launch – The Moment Everything Begins

📌 After carefully selecting your investors & partners (if you have any), you move to the soft launch phase.

💡 You don’t need to have partners – if you don’t, even better!
👉 If your idea has value, people will come once they smell the money.

🚀 Now, real mass marketing & sales begin.

📌 Your product is no longer promoted just by you but through the channels you’ve chosen.
📌 This is when your business truly starts operating.

⚙️ Your Role Changes – From Creator to Leader

👉 Now, you need to stay close to the production process & customer support.
👉 Oversee the development & evolution of your product.
👉 Ensure that customers understand how to use it.

📌 It’s time to train your team!
