Self-directed business research
Wood Profits is one route to structured woodworking-business information, not the only route. Alternatives include building your own learning stack from small-business guidance, marketplace documentation, pricing resources, local maker communities and specialized courses. Apply this specifically to self-directed business research: write down the assumptions you are making, test them with a real product or buyer conversation, and record the result. The aim is to replace guesswork with a process you can repeat.
For a small woodworking operation, constraints can be useful. Limited space, time and capital force you to decide which products and customers matter most. Avoid adding complexity until a sale, production bottleneck or customer request gives you a concrete reason.
