You have to learn a lot quick to get going in CNC.
I agree there are lots of pieces that have to work in order to be successful at CNC. Perhaps this is why it was 6 months before I was reasonably confident in what I was doing with my CNC.

Patience and persistence and lots of mistakes on the way was / is my CNC journey.
