Read that book 15 yrs ago and bought a doz to hand out to people I meet that had the I can’t attitude. I still get a lot of folks when I tell em I will work for a penny today but you have to double my pay every day for 30 days . Great book and a great talk Andrew .
Very true!! Perfect timing... as I had to turn several people away because I'm already sold out of seasoned firewood this year (other than small quantities for my roadside stand), I found myself thinking that my break-even point on an Axis would be when I sell 30-35 cords. It's really do-able! But I also don't like debt, and will save up to pay cash when the time is right
Speaking for myself only,thanks man,really hit strong here, just please don't discontinue the ultra cause I'm gonna afford it and have the first eastonmade in East TN,seriously thanks for the chat. appreciate it.
Truer words were never spoken. Hard work, a desire to provide for yourself and your family, and a positive confident mindset will move you forward. Negativity will stagnate you.
Like one of the great motivational speakers ( Zig Ziggler) once said "you need a check up from the neck up". People who want something bad enough will find a way of getting it. 👍TCT
Very well said Andrew. Andrew I was at a fab shop the other day and was explaining a build for my skid steer to be built. Next day I seen a video and was like that product could possibly work. And it’s provided by all the commercial fire wood companies. Super simple and more value to the product possibly. There has to be a reason why it’s not implemented. I will be adding it to my attachment to try.
Yep, my solution was to use my experience, "to on my own", locate parts to make a better woodsplitter that fit my budget. As well as utilizing are trees and mill to make wood sheds on the place. Amongst many other things.
I gotta admit, I catch myself saying”I can’t afford it”😂 You are 100% correct Andrew! I caught this video as I was going thru the numbers for last months firewood sales! Your words hit home as I was thinking about what I need to do to make next years firewood production easier! Equipment purchases is the answer to that! Good talk Andrew👍🏻👍🏻
Starting out wanting to achieve a goal, but akways trying to obtain a higher hoal. Listen to you Elders and people you trust the most. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Chris from in the woodyard says it all watch his videos and learn i sold firewood and still learn from Chris myself he is a smart man and even answer questions i have asked. Just jump in and learn start small and build from there have confidence take a chance you can build your business up but. Not for you quit won't loose as much and be honest had w put. Chris in there cause learned a lot and i have been selling wood for a long time from my friends tree company lot they bring in trees they were paid to cut down and split and sell them for him my opinion on this hope it works
Hello Andrew, absolutely I’ve been proactive my whole life started when I was 11 years old, ASME certified welder at 17 years old all the way to a corporate president for 31 years. Well said my friend.👍🇺🇸
I work hard at being an arborist and I bought myself an Aston Martin N430 Vantage. I luv it. Btw my side hustle is firewood. You need to sell these splitters into the UK. Hope trump does a trade deal with the UK.
I pretty much buy most everything with one thing in mind. Resale. What's it going to be worth when I don't need it anymore? Now, I don't own anything made by Eastonmade but the quality of product is blaringly obvious. Merry Christmas Andrew!
I raised 75k and Kate Elizabeth Becherer is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York City
I know that woman (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is a good woman.
Nice video Andrew - people think big but settle for less, now put pen to paper and crunch some numbers and that big thought is in reach with planning and some hard work - nothing is free without sweat, sore muscles and a 24/36 month plan. Cheers
hi there you forgot the 3rd person ."the wife that tells you NO your not" LOL and at my age i dont want to push forward ,i just want to slide in , good show best to all john
Don't we need cross splitters to supply the new firewood market? They have the X knife that can out-produce anything you have. You could make it for 3 inch by 3 inch by 12 inch pieces and smaller. 12 inch pieces would compete with 16s. I noticed, EHS in Ireland makes them. Rabaud and others. You can do it. 12 inch seems like a more sensible size than 16. You can make a big fire with small pieces but you can't make a small fire with big pieces. Where you are you may want to have big fires all the time but if you lived in the Ozarks you probably wouldn't.
I have worked for the federal government for a few decades. I recently started bundle firewood sales & some other side businesses. Everyone asks me if I’m worried about federal jobs being cut under the new administration. I said I don’t worry a bit there’s tons of other things a person can do, all you have to do is go out & get after it. I’m fully willing to sacrifice my career if it helps to make our country a better place for my daughter & someday my future grandchildren. My bundle sales will pay for my new Axis in no time.
Overall, I get your points and there is plenty of truth to it. Essentially it boils down to to earning it as much as wanting it. Your writeup in the description is great, as well. Improving is always good. I know you for instance in past videos, have mentioned all the sacrifices you made to get to where you are today. You outworked many others, in addition to improving your talent. You earned your success. That's commendable. But all those around you supported you as well, which is huge. Critical, even. Now without ranting and carrying on too much here, I can assure you that's not others. It's all about context of a person's situation as to why they maybe "can't" in life, aside from excuses. Every human isn't equal. That's a bit of a pie-in-the-sky mindset. Everyone can't have everything; it's not reasonable. Hence those that go the wrong way in life, like those drug addicts. Opens more opportunities for those who are clean and value life. But there are many possible reasons. I say appreciate your success and those close to you that helped put you at the top of your industry. That's worth a lot.

Yes sir! Get up and get it. If you want something work for it. Good chat.
I bought a wood splitter from them a few years ago. You can’t afford not to buy a product from them. Top notch stuff.
Great words of wisdom, thank you and thank you to the commenters for sharing theirs as well.
Thank you for the kick in a$$ Andrew, keep cuttin' brother!

Gotta stay hungry! Only way to move is forward. Make excuses or make progress!
Don’t count the days, make the days count!

Couldn’t agree with you more. Great video
I can’t afford one of your fine products right now, but I know with hard work dedication to this business I will get there.
Good words of wisdom Andrew, Thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe and Have a great holiday season up there. Fred.

We do have thdm over there. www.logsandsaws.co.uk has them in stock in chelmsford essex

$75k biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and I've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!
God bless you more abundantly for your generosity
But then, what do you do? How do you come about that in that period?
Thanks to Mrs Kate Elizabeth
I raised 75k and Kate Elizabeth Becherer is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York City
This is a definition of God's unending provisions for his people. God remains faithful to his words. I receive this for my household❤️
I know that woman (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is a good woman.
👍
Truer words never spoken , we need to drive ourselves to survive 💪👍🏼
Ok. Start crack! It’s on the list. Thanks😂

hi there you forgot the 3rd person ."the wife that tells you NO your not" LOL and at my age i dont want to push forward ,i just want to slide in , good show best to all john
Do you think there is a market for a custom wood splitter
I'm going to admit, I have the weak, I can't do it mentality.
Why does the spec sheet on your website show that the 48C electric wood processor has a 60 gallon fuel tank. How do you fill it with electrons?
Very carefully lol
Don't we need cross splitters to supply the new firewood market? They have the X knife that can out-produce anything you have. You could make it for 3 inch by 3 inch by 12 inch pieces and smaller. 12 inch pieces would compete with 16s. I noticed, EHS in Ireland makes them. Rabaud and others. You can do it.

But what if you said “how can I make that happen to buy that” a few times and I’m working to pay that stuff off, so now it’s “can’t afford that.”
Dude your a stud!!
Appreciate your work ethic
What's your thoughts on the Woodmizer FS500??
They seem to work well.
So. How'd that deer stand set up go Andrew?
Great. Young jacob flood shot a big buck out of it last night

Spoken like a Patriot. Respect sir!
I h no problem spending the money for quality equipment
Most people are afraid to start and they are afraid of change. There is no can't..there is either do or do not.
Good video! Can’t wait for more!
