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
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.
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
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.
All of your videos are awesome but this might be the best ever. I need to read that book, because I was raised with the "we can't afford that" mentality, but I soon developed the "how can I afford that" mentality. I've been like that my whole life. I always say "scared money don't make money". Lots of truth in that!
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.
Nothing more true than that Andrew, I was at the “I can’t afford that” mentality not too long ago. Then I thought..hey..I’m not dead yet, I have a few more hours of work a day in me. I have to say I’ve slowed down but it’s all good. Great vid brother. 👍
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
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👍🏻👍🏻
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.
You forgot the other type of people (although, they are similar to #2) - "How can I not do that??" They see an opportunity and know exactly when to pull the trigger.
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.👍🇺🇸
Hi Andrew. When we spoke at the International Firewood Expo in Ohio, we discussed the Tesla Cybertruck as used for powering a 220V single phase motor on a towable splitter. I'm still interested in pursuing this if you want to use the "How can we?" philosophy. I'm about an hour away and would love to bring my new Cybertruck to your shop for you to check it out. Feel free to use it in a video. BTW the 220V 50 amp "range plug" in the bed is what we would be looking at to power the splitter. I know you have tried a 3 phase but how can we make single phase 220V 50 amp work. Thanks! Brian Silver , Sydenham Ontario.
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
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
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
Legitimately good advice. Side note, please come out with different colours. Thaaaanks.

I’ve heard it said many times by wise people. It doesn’t matter whether you think you can or you think you can’t. Either way, you’re right.
Yes sir! Get up and get it. If you want something work for it. Good chat.
Good words of advice Andrew!
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.
Great words of wisdom, thank you and thank you to the commenters for sharing theirs as well.
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.
Don’t count the days, make the days count!
Great advice Andrew. I have always lived in a way to acquire tools and things in my life that IMPROVE my life. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book.
Howdy Andrew
You are 100 % spot on..
Great words of wisdom sir..

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.
Gotta stay hungry! Only way to move is forward. Make excuses or make progress!
ABSOLUTELY! 💯 ITS CALLED FAITH! He who has it, GETS IT!
Awesome video Andrew. Keep moving forward don't stop
Couldn’t agree with you more. Great video
Mindset is everything!
Good points - helping sell my Eason Made purchase at home! 😃
You forgot the other type of people (although, they are similar to #2) - "How can I not do that??" They see an opportunity and know exactly when to pull the trigger.
There's also, "How can we NOT afford that."

Spoken like a Patriot. Respect sir!
🤘Do Work! The rest will fall place.
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
I'm going to admit, I have the weak, I can't do it mentality.
$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

Ok. Start crack! It’s on the list. Thanks😂
Do you think there is a market for a custom wood splitter
Most people are afraid to start and they are afraid of change. There is no can't..there is either do or do not.
🤘Master WoodYoda has spoken!!!
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.”
Good video! Can’t wait for more!
So. How'd that deer stand set up go Andrew?
Great. Young jacob flood shot a big buck out of it last night
Dude your a stud!!
Appreciate your work ethic
What's your thoughts on the Woodmizer FS500??
They seem to work well.
