    I actually can relate to this in a much smaller scale. People who gets into any kind of business gets better results when being paid on what they know. Knowing the market, knowing where to get supply, knowing where to start, etc is how someone starts a business. I'm in my second semester of college now and going to start a mechanical keyboard parts business and what I have more than other people is simply knowledge on what materials to use, where do I get parts laser cut, how to make custom vector designs, etc. Before that I also hustled buying and selling keyboard stuff to flip after use for a profit to fund my hobby. Hopefully after lebaran holiday here finishes I can start producing prototypes of my product
