Take A BREAK Before Your BODY FORCES YOU To Take One

- Whether you're suffering from physical or mental fatigue remember taking a break and giving your body time to heal is so important. It's something we all need to do now and then, men especially don't take care of their health and go as far as ignoring mental health completely. I did and needed to get away to start to heal, if you feel the same but can't get away give yourself a break in some other way and remember if you need to chat about things feel free to drop me a message. Talking helps.
Cheers for watching.
Thanks for all the great messages, I wasn't expecting it for this one to be honest and wasn't going to upload it. As always the wife was right and she said, you have to as it may help someone else. The break away and support here has been brilliant to get me back on the right track. Many thanks 🙏
Really great message! The hardest thing for self employed people to say is “no” to customers! Because you want to keep saying “yes”.
But the best business owners invest in themselves first. Worth every penny 👍🙂.
Say no definitely can feel difficult sometimes, trying to get everything fitted in is too much for us sometimes. Thanks for watching 👍
Wise words indeed, I pushed myself too hard last year and screwed my hand up, needed surgery April this year and lost three weeks, get away for two weeks every year in August to recharge ready for the winter season, customers re fine with it and completely support it. No point being the richest man in the graveyard mate.
That's so true mate, money isn't everything. Hope the hand is holding up👍👍
I think the hardest part of our job is dealing with the public not the physical work they really are taking years off us the mental strain of running your own business and what goes with it a Holliday is well justified and needed
They do add to it for sure, not all but some make up for others🙄 time for a sort out I think. Thanks for watching 👍
Great timing needed to hear this today! Im running empty and need a recharge was worrying about the jobs but it's true- either choose the break yourself or your body will choose for you!!
Work will always be there when you come back and those that can't wait or understand you need a break might not be worth it. I didn't regret a week away at all. Thanks for watching and take care of yourself 👍
Your health is your wealth, i hope you enjoyed the break 👍
Definitely right there and the break away was great thanks 👍
That is one of the most honest things I've heard on UA-cam for a very long time. Stay strong pal.
Thanks and it was....so much so I nearly didn't put it out there but the wife said it may help others. It's good to talk and get things off your chest sometimes. Comments have been great too so cheers and thanks for watching 👍
When we are on our death beds we won't be thinking about all the lawns we cut. We are still working hard but i have streamlined my business over the last few years. It's improved my mental health. Maybe time you need to look at what you take on. You both deserved your holidays
You do seem to have it sorted mate, I often think your way is the route to take. Thanks bud👍
@LewisgardenservicesLtd are you going to groundfest? I don't think I'll bother with the nec this year
first time in 20 years i'm off to france for a week on the 14th...can't wait. sod the customers i need a break, lost both mum n dad in the last 16 months so need to get away n just relax
Enjoy it👌 it'll be the best thing you've done. A break sorted me right out👍 cheers
I’m sitting at work feeling totally burnt out 🥵 by everything not just work pressures and this video popped up in my feed
If you need a break just do it, talking also helps I found, once it's said it's out of your head more. Take care of yourself 👍
Just enjoy yourself! If you can do it just do it mate! Im doing the same in october, lifes too short.
Gotta make the most of it👍👍 cheers
@LewisgardenservicesLtd yeah looks great there!
Yep I have been there I pushed myself on and on was busy and yh I had to break through health reasons so definitely experienced all I said .
Now I have a holiday in the summer busiest time to recharge my batteries
Recharging those batteries is definitely needed now and then👍 thanks for watching 👍
You work bloody hard, you deserve a break as and when you want. All the best, 🙏respect Jako🙏
We all do💪 cheers mate, thanks for stopping by 👍
Well done for talking about this. In recent videos, you've looked like you were running on empty. I hope you enjoy your break. All the best.
Thanks, been running on empty for a while but don't see it yourself. Holiday was good, just need to sort the guts now and hopefully all good. Cheers for watching 👍
Lots of research out there on gut health and how it is central to our well-being/ an indicator when. we are not quite right. Take care.
Fair play Nathan iam currently up in north Wales on the Lynn peninsula for a week away with the family , so much needed
Enjoy that mate👍
So true good for you
Thanks 👍
Did it this year for the first time in many, many years. Don't regret it for a moment. Life is for living 👌🏻
It definitely for living and all that short sometimes. Cheers mate👍👌
Couldn’t agree more. Twenty years ago I wasn’t particularly interested in holidays, nowadays we go abroad four or five times between October and April and I wouldn’t change it for the world 👍
Sounds like you're doing it right 👍👍 cheers
Listening to this sat on a sun lounger in Spain. This is me mate. A mirror image in everything you say. Hope the break was good mate and catch up at the shows.
Saw you got away mate, good on you. Too many of us keep pushing I think and just need to recharge now and then. Definitely catch up later in the year 👍 enjoy that poolside spot👌
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd thanks mate.
Well said that man!....wise words and really good advice....speaking from experience.
We all think we're in vincible in life until things go t$#s up and it can sneak up at any time.
Enjoy your break away with the wife bud and keep up the awesome content you've been putting out on YT. First year self start up in the gardening business and i've learned a lot from your channel...cheersl👍Look after yourself.
Good luck with the business and things definitely can creep up on us without warning. It was a nice break away, cheers for watching 👍
I will be taking my week holiday in your part of the world Nathan, and I can't wait. Yes it's a week of not earning, but I have stopped worrying about that, I just want a week with my lovely lady and my dog Riley.
And we will be doing a spot of house hunting too.
God bless you brother
Peace and love.
Gotta beel done and yes, don't worry about the list earnings. Where abouts are you staying?
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd we are staying in Milford Haven.
@kepadaservices1286 nice, some great spots from Tenby through that area although I usually end up in Tenby. Enjoy 👍
You have to take a break I took 5 days off last week too mate hit me hard but back on it this week
More to life than just work my mrs always tells me off for doing too much
Definitely need a break, I graft way too much so I've been told but it's a difficult habit to break. Cheers Pete 👍
👏🏻👏🏻❤️ Great advice.
Cheers and thanks for watching 👍
Good message to put out there Nathan. I don’t go abroad or have holidsys for various reasons, but I won’t work weekends, never do more than 7 hours a day and play golf on Tuesdays! I am managing my body and mind. So its whatever helps you cope and keeps you healthy. Hope you both have a great time out there.
Andy
You sound like you have it sorted 👍👍 we had a great time thanks
Well said m8 ,of all the videos I've watched from you, all enjoyed of course. This really struck a chord was heart felt , food for thought indeed. Nice tribute to your Lovely horse . Take care of yourself 😊👍
This one was more for my own therapy and I wasn't going to put it out but tash said I had to as others are no doubt going through the same feelings and talking helps. Thanks and yes that big fella is very much missed. Thanks
Really good video cheers. Got to step off the grind for a while. When your so busy you dont pick up on things yourself other people see it. Have a nice holiday!
Other people definitely see what's going on, especially those that care about you. The break away was good, thanks 👍
I'm taking a week out in a week. I'm in my first full season and my body is telling me I need a break. I've managed to shift everyone around and they're all happy about it. It's hard to do in this business but you can and should take time out! I am regularly burning 3-4k calories a day. I've stopped running on a regular basis as I'm exhausted from gardening. Enjoy your time off mate. Thanks for the video. Thinking of you.
It's a tough game for sure and a break is definitely needed, all I do now is work as I don't have the energy really for sports etc. You do get conditioned to it tho. Enjoy that time away👍👍 thanks for watching
Absolutely spot on the money Nathan.
If you add up all the hours we do working when not in work quotes email etc its even more .
You have to have a perspective a ballance. Personally I have a cut off now a routine 8:to 4:30 I'm work with a dinner break .3 quotes a week and I select each quote I don't go to all of em mate .Don't tend to work many Saturdays either..
Top man Nathan recognising things is essential you done that .speak to others in the trade helps on that note my phones always on Nathan.
Take care pal 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping cheers Justin, you helped by what you said the other week so thanks 👍 also good shout on your routine of work and cut off times. Cheers
@LewisgardenservicesLtd
The routine is crucial I'm no expert just a guy same as you but if we can help each other out then great business is very hard but we don't have to be alone or think we're alone. We all been there 👊
Great post to which I can 100 per cent relate to …….your body doesn’t always let you know thou ……trust me I was lucky recently now I don’t need telling twice we don’t comeback for a encore take it easy mate it so easy to think we gardeners can’t do time out unless you want it permanently 👍👍
Sounds like you had a lucky escape there and a reminder of what counts. Hope you're doing well and yes we only get one go around 👍 thanks for watching
All sorted thanks mate slimmed down the round think it’s time 64 now😂👍
Thanks for the honest video
Thanks for watching 👍
Always put yourself and family first. Any job will replace you, so enjoy some time to relax and recharge!
You're right there, thanks 👍
Great video Nathan,enjoy your break mate🍻
I’m away next week to do the exact same thing 👍🏼
Cheers Martyn, break away was great and enjoy yours as I'm sure it's well deserved 👍👍 take care mate
Good advice mate. I think you are absolutely right. "All work & no play makes jack a dull boy". Or Jim a miserable b*****d in my case 😂 take care bud
That's miserable Jim 😅 you're right tho all work and no play gets you down. Cheers and take care of yourself 👍
Well done Nathan, you have earned a holiday, I've done 30 years garden maintenance and I've lost abit of my tollarance abit now I'm thinking like you now times ticking!!!! I wish I'd have not let it consume me or draw you in b4 you know it another season has passed an ya look back an all we have done is others Gardens an not lived.
The seasons do go by and yes time does tick away. Thanks mate 👍
I think Nathan 🤔 that video will help alot of us.. cheers "
You are spot on, my wife tells me the same thing, you need to rest your body she tells me, and my response like yours and i guess many others. But how about the money that will be lost plus the cost of going on holiday, and the customers etc, then i get that look, so i then have to pull my head out of the work mode, and start listening and yep your right, your body will tell you that you are over doing it, when you listen to it, the struggle is finding that even keel of work time and down time in life, and what really matters, i am fortunate i love my job as a gardener, but the down side of that can mean i spend to much time working, and not enough time relaxing to recharge, so thanks for reconfirming what we all know, but find so hard to do when running your own business
It's difficult for us to see sometimes but those around us can definitely see it, we just need to listen. Definitely take a break when you can. Cheers and thanks for your comment 👍
Everyone needs a break and should have one.
When you have a hard physical job especially.
I know I can’t work at the pace I used to! I know I’m not 20 anymore!
I have in more recent years prioritised family time as I still have young kids.
I’ve spoken to many guys who missed it because they were too busy working!!!
Enjoy your break 🤗👍
You know the score mate and yes, realising we're not 20 any longer is a big part of it. Hope things are good with you, cheers Mark👍
Well said....totally agree.
Thanks 👍 cheers for watching
Thank you for the message, takes guts and effort to do that and so true. That old saying less is more comes to mind, even a weekend getaway somewhere is a tonic for the spirit..... Look after yourself.
Weekends doing nothing special are my favourite, I work every other Saturday but do try and keep weekend ls free. Cheers and thanks for watching 👍
Great video as always Nathan. I can honestly say as a 17 year old lad who left school last year and started my own gardening company as soon as I could drive after always wanting to work in the industry, the advice from your Chanel is so valuable and inspiring and has even got me thinking about setting up my own Chanel documenting what I’m up to. It’s so important to learn from people with so much experience and is definitely a motivator when it comes to work ethic and so on. It’s all really helpful. This video in particular couldn’t have come at a better time after working 7:30-6:30 6 days a week since February taking a few days off last week really helped me pick back up some energy after it felt like I was running on empty for a while. Thanks for the great advice.
Great to hear you're doing well in business and at an age where many aren't interested, good on you👍 thanks for the compliment too, honest hard work gets you a good rep but my main advice would be don't be a busy fool. Business head as well as grafting is needed. Cheers and good luck 👍
So So true! God bless ya mate
Thanks, we all get worn down and need a break sometimes. Cheers 👍
Good for you mate, no one's gravestone reads " I wish I spent more time at work." This year's been a killer especially in May with that mad growth with all that rain. You're a good egg and a right grafter 💪 I'm trying to do more weekly clients for this reason what with the weather and the aches and pains at 51, and it's so much easier to take a break schedule wise for time off etc. enjoy the rest of your break ☀️🌴🍺👍
Sounds like a plan 👌 home and back to it today, was a good break tho. Cheers 👍
Wise words.....that i should listen too. Thank you
Thanks, we all need a reminder by all these comments. I need to listen more myself too. Cheers 👍
Ah crap man, the last bit got me, I could see the hurt in your eyes mate............take care buddy and enjoy your time away !
Me too, most people don't watch the last few seconds of videos so saying that was all for my benefit as saying something out loud takes it off yourself sometimes I'm discovering. Honestly... thanks
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd I had to lead my wifes horse out the stable a couple of years ago for the vet to do what had to be done.............lost a 27 year old friend that day........still haunts me, but we have to battle on ! All the best Nathan !
@Bacrenfencing terrible right, some won't get it but battling for 3 years to save that star in the making was tough, the whole last day I'd like out of my head to be fair
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd I get it mate !
We all get caught up with squeezing another job in. We end up working 7days a week It does take its toll physically and mentally. Have a good recharge Nathan another great video.👍
Thanks for watching and you're right we get into a speed of work and just keep going. Cheers 👍
Thanks for the reminder, "money can't buy time' booking a holiday now !😎
Go for it, did me good and I'm sure will do the same for you 👍 cheers
Thats a long walk to breakfast mate 😂😂...you deserve it buddy..i can see u work hard
It was a long way for a bacon roll for sure😅 cheers 👍
The honesty hits home hard. I think we all do it in this trade. When I start pushing it my Mrs always says how long can you hold a small cup of water out for? Yeah it's only a cup of water but at some point it gets to heavy and you have to put it down for a rest to be able to go again.
Hope you have a good recharge mate
And she's right, we all need a break. I'm glad I went, back at it this morning now feeling much better. Cheers 👍
good to talk about it mate 👍 modern day life can definitely mess with our mental health.struggling a little myself at the minute. we just got to battle on 💪have a good week 😊
Hope you're doing ok, talking about it really helped me and some downtime. Good to battle on but not if you keep getting knocked back. Take care mate👍
This is the best thing that I’ve heard and seen in a very long time! I reckon that God…or Google…’targeted’ me personally! As a gardener, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you’ve said! I feel like I’m on the verge of a breakdown, simply because I very rarely take a break….but mainly because I can’t say NO! It’s not for the money, though! I know that I don’t charge enough! Some customers are generous and it’s certainly appreciated whereas some others say that I should increase my prices, yet they never give me any extra! Anyway, I’ll take this video as a message to slow down, enjoy the hobbies again, that I used to do, and re assess my work/ life balance!
Definitely do it, maybe implement those increases to give you the same income but more time to yourself. Learning to say no can be tough. Cheers and take care of yourself 👍
Wise words Nathan, thanks for making this video. I'm sorry to hear you've been having a tough time, good on you for taking steps to change things. I hope things improve for you mate. Andy
A week away definitely helped. Thanks and cheers for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Really strong message Nathan. So hard to take that advice so well done bud. We always think we’re ok. Push on, don’t let people down, earn the money for family / rent / mortgage etc. an extra few quid is no good to anyone if you haven’t got your health. I need to listen to this one too. Take care of yourself mate. Enjoy the time off.
It's hard to take my own advice but yes, definitely take a break and look after yourself mate. Time away was good and hopefully good to go again. Thanks for watching and your comment 👍
Hi Nathan well said you have worked hard to get where you are enjoy life while you can Have a good week
Sometimes we need to find the balance, cheers mate, have a great week too👍
Sometimes its hard to listen to advice even when we know it is right. I think that age makes you understand in a way you cant ignore. Ive been doing this a long time now and i still dont rest, charge or relax enough. Like someone else said on here we love to say yes and help out especially the older people, i just wish i was more selfish and charged my worth but i cant help it! Anyway great videos as always, all the best.
Thanks and yes saying no and making time to take a break is hard work but something we have to do. Cheers and take care of yourself 👍
After having half a lung cut off lung cancer in 2021 I now only work sort of part time and I'm ok with that not trying to kill myself anymore take that break if ya need it
That sounds rough and a real eye opener I bet to what's important. Hope you're still doing well. Cheers 👍
All good ya just keep plodding on value your time
Been only 5 years into this industry, but the past few years were hectic. Also trying to get some more downtime so i can spend it with my family and recover. I really like your video's! Thanks! Greetings from Netherland.
It does get that way, make good work life habits part of your plan going forward 👌 Netherlands 👍👍 thanks and who knew I'd ever be chatting to someone about health issues from the Netherlands, thanks for watching and your comment 👍
Brilliant video Mate, totally agree and do the same on a regular basis. Life fly by us do fast right
Life does fly by and we should try and enjoy it. Cheers 👍
FairPlay mate great advice! Exactly how I feel and what I needed to hear to justify having a break from my work as I’m feeling it now deflated and having aches and pains and not having that jump out of bed feeling anymore to smash the day, plus the misses is always on my back about going on holiday so going to have a week off myself and not feel guilty about letting myself have a week off. 👍 enjoy your holiday 🍻
Good on you, go for it👍 it was a good break and glad I took it. Work can wait. Thanks for watching
I’m not sure if it’s funny or scary, but I’m totally with you. I didn’t realise this until this year. Of all people , I know how your life can change in the blink of an eye and how precious life and your health is. So it’s good to here your story and know your not alone in how important it is to listen to your body and take that break, even if this is the busiest time of the year for people in our line of work. Enjoy your holiday 🙏
The holiday was great 👍 Life can and does change so fast and nobody knows what's going to happen so enjoy it. Cheers for your comment 👍
Well deserved, you need something to look forward to like a break otherwise youd go mad working all the time. The gardens will still be there next week enjoy!
You're right and I'm already thinking about the next break to look forward to. Back to it tomorrow and feeling relaxed, cheers for watching and your comment 👍
I worked for 20years 7 days a week no breaks except Xmas day and now look back I think where have them 20 years gone.You don’t need to explain yourself Nathan you do what you want mate enjoy your well deserved break have a beer for me aswell 👍🍻
Time does fly 😬 start taking some time for yourself now tho🤞 was a nice break and I had a few beers but not too many to give the guts some healing too👌 cheers
Very wise advice Nathan. Me and the missus can't take a proper break until next March because of circumstances, but we'll be taking 3 day weekends for the rest of this year. We will be burned out otherwise
Thanks and enjoy those breaks. Long weekends are great too👍👍 cheers
Hi Nathan and great topic,when i had problems and needed help i heard a lot of wise words ,one of them being [ you can spend so much time making a living,you miss life], the saying i try to live by today is [ no amount of gold can buy my days ] i try to think this way when i feel my mind is running away with itself buddy.take care and thanks you help me.
You're right and some time away and support from others including these and your great comment really help. Back at it today with the usual issues but not letting it get to me or the lack of staff turning up making me run around like a fool. Cheers 👍
Bang on mate bang on !
Cheers, something that had to be said and rings true with a lot it seems. Cheers mate 👍
Great video Nathan , we’ve just done the same after a very busy 6 months , just returned from a week in Cyprus , much needed break , from Gary’s Garden services in Pembrokeshire
Yea, gotta be done 👍 hope it did you good. We missed a wet week here too😅
Louis good for you. , this year I’m definitely taking a break I’ve worked me socks off but there comes a time when the penny trops and you say sod it’ heath is your wealth.
That's the motto to live by for sure, we just don't realise it sometimes. Thanks 👍
Great vid mate. Have a great holiday
Cheers, was great. Home now and ready to go again for a while hopefully. Thanks for watching 👍
Fair play mate and to all of us grafters on here …
Cheers and yes we're all pushing so need some time to ourselves 👍 cheers
Superb stuff from a decent man...
Thanks and cheers for that. Just doing what so many do so maybe saying how we feel sometimes hopefully helps👍👍
We're only here once mate make the most of it! The Mrs has had me on that plane 3 times already this year😂 I do hate playing catch up though 🌿🤷♂️
It's an easy habit to get into, good to see you enjoying yourselves 👍👍 cheers for watching
Have a good one mate we are all always doing to much enjoy your break if your at a point in life we’re you can do it I say
Thanks and yea it was just the job getting away. Make sure you do the same if needed and you can 👍👍 cheers for watching
Can always make money, but can't buy health, take care mate 👍
100% right mate and all those work worries because irrelevant when your health becomes an issue. Cheers Jason 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd 💯
Nice one Nathan.
Cheers 👍
You’re a hard worker, you deserve a vacation !!!!
Thanks, I guess when you do a bit it catches up on you. Cheers for watching 👍
Haha we are so alike😅 im closing the business for a week on 22nd for first time in 21 years self employed. Third summer break during that time period. Off to sunny venice. Goin to switch the phone off. Can't wait. Dont care about the cost of it. At first I thought it was a great way to manage staff holidays but the more I think about it I need the break from it all. We think we are invincible but in reality we ain't. Hope your having fun!
Enjoy it mate, it did me the world of good. Thanks for watching 👍
Well said work is good but you got to e fit to do it mentally a d physical so work will be there next week so good o you fair play enjoy your break away
Thanks, it was a good break and ready to get back to it tomorrow. Cheers 👍
Good on you Nathan. You both deserve your break. I’ve been running a 3 person up to 5 person gardening business in north Lancashire for the last 18 years. I like you will of done 50 hours a year. I’m now 58. My wife now works with me . She does 25k steps per day behind a stihl mower. That keeps you fit but takes it out of you. We now own a motorhome from her previous 37 year nhs pension. So we take 1 week out of 4 to recharge our batteries and see a bit of the UK we have taken for granted. You gotta enjoy your Tenerife or Cotswold break. The grass can and should and will wait mate. Always enjoy your no nonsense videos. Keep up the great work mate. Cheers dave
Cheers Dave sounds like you've got it right 👌 seeing more of the UK is something we want to do too. Lake district and Scotland first on the list 👍 thanks mate
Just a thought… I’ve just watched questiontime … 2 problems we need 1.5 million new homes but we are probably 33k bricklayers short in the labour market to achieve this…! 2nd point we’re going to release prisoners at 40-45% of their sentence tariff as there is not enough prisons
Am I stupid or stating the obvious….! Teach the prisoners to become bricklayers ( not a choice in this decision….. your becoming a bricklayer). Then ultimately we can build more houses and more prisons and then…! Prisoners serve their full term and kids can buy a house in the town they was born in…! If your “woke” don’t bother re posting as this suggestion applies to the 99% hahaha
Oh and my point was more homes more gardens to tidy or grass cut…. Durrrgh 😂
Hey Nathan ,
Struck a cord with me mate just watching this tonight.
I normally wait till the season slows down to have a break with the family .
But I am learning.
The last couple of years have been tough.
Enjoy mate
Sometimes you've just gotta say enough is enough and take some time off, I used to go away October or November but wouldn't have made it that far this year I recon before breaking. You take time too if needed 👍 cheers
😎😎😎 Lovely chat
Cheers and thanks for watching 👍
I went away for 1 week this year in May and it messed me up workwise for a month, but i would do it again easily. Enjoy the mental break and physical break.
Nice one 👍it's definitely worth it. Cheers
5k is cheap at the price compared to fking up your health, family life and business. Hard work is good but following social media bs about pushing beyond reasonable limits is just unintelligent and a road to disaster. There is a reason why some organisations are implementing 4 day weeks and it's because exhausted people are unproductive.
The change in work patterns and expectations are an improvement, also productivity goes down when everyone is knackered. Thanks for watching 👍
Ive been doing the gardens 40yrs had a change around this season cut my round down by a third got rid of the problem customers best thing ever bodys feeling loads better and less stress slow down nathan change things round dont be the richest man in the graveyard m8
Good on you, my first day back has just been messed about by staff so I'll be doing the same and making changes. Thanks for your great comment and take care out there👍
Enjoy your holiday, you deserve it
Thanks, it was good to get away and back to it today 👍
Sound Advice.
Thanks and cheers for watching 👍
You don't need to justify yourself mate. Listen to your body. It never tells you lies.
It's all about finding the balance. Easier said than done I know.
The balance is key but like you say difficult to find sometimes. Cheers 👍
Hope your staying at h10 atlantic sunset. Outstanding place. Was there in March
We stayed at Bahia Principe sunlight I think it was Cally, nice break away👍👍 cheers
@LewisgardenservicesLtd enjoy break mate. Stunning location. In the video u were right beside my hotel I was at. Just bit up the hill from the beach. Plenty to do make most of it 😁
I always used to go away the end of September when things slowing down. I've not been anywhere for yrs now, passport ran out in coronavirus and couldn't see the point renewing it.
I've had lots of time of in the last 2 yrs with health different issues not earning anything. Broken ribs, DVT and bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Waiting for another camera in the lungs to investigate "areas of concern" atm. Also gutt issues like yourself currently!
Quickly down hill in your 40's😂
Could do with getting away now tbh🙈👍
Get well and get that passport sorted mate. Hope the health issues improve for you joking aside, as we get older the body does suffer unfortunately so we have to make the most of it or at least to try to. Cheers for watching 👍
In 2 days i walk 27.7 miles cuttings lawns. Last Christmas 🎄 i said to myself need off this hamsters wheel. So that me 4 day a week not be going back to working 5 days a week anymore. Life to short & if i live to retirement age 67 will i be able to really do anything ?
It's surprising the distance we travel in a day's work, 4 days a week is a good shout 👍👍
You canny buy the sunshine 🌞 tho. Lol
Cloudy til about 9.30am for a few days then☀️☀️☀️👍
Like you say"Your body will tell you"
I don't want to be dropping dead in some one's garden.
We put ourselves through Hell,physically and mentally taking risks just for someone,to have a nice garden,it will soon grow back,we don't!!
You do right,Sod them😂
Definitely spot on, I don't want to look back and all I've done is work and graft for a bigger bank balance and fancy kit. Thanks for watching and your comment 👍
I totally understand,the balance of life,you have to stop,think,hang on,l'm killing myself and not getting anything out of it.
Time out rests your body plus you can think out the box,for a bit.
The family are off to Florida,not me,l'm staying at home with the dog,peace and quiet😉
@jonathanglanville5265 peace and quiet is what you need sometimes and obviously the company of a dog. Florida sounds hard work😅
If l went l'd probably get killed by a gattor,while sat by the pool.😂
@jonathanglanville5265 🤣
"The Sabbath was made for man! Not man for the Sabbath!" Great video, Mister. Patience. You will get what you deserve.
Thanks 👍 we all need a break. Cheers as always for watching 👍
Enjoy your break boyo .if I can say one thing to you watching you over the year years etc 😂 . I think you should ease off running the business and start to manage it .. your the engine and with out you is there a business 🤷🤠 just what I see 👌🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 you've worked hard and should enjoy some fun time with your lady
Cheers, it was a nice break. That would be good but finding people capable or willing is tough and that in itself becomes a stress. Definitely looking at easier work life rather than the bottom line tho. Thanks mate hope you're keeping well.👍
Everyone is me me me me go get your holiday the crap will still be there tomorrow
Good old hamster wheel 😅
The good old hamster wheel 🙄😅
wish i was millionaire lol 😂
Me too😅
How are you earning that much I'm lucky to earn 2g a month . 48years old I'm feeling it this year and if I can get away with 3 or 4 days week that's enough especially if I'm swinging hedge trimmers about . If I did 6 days a week money still wouldn't be great so can't see the point in braking me back for a few quid .
That's takings for 2/3 of us out with a fair bit of kit grafting. Time away can be difficult but doing less may be a solution. Cheers for watching 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd cheers
Did you actually say you earn £2500 per week doing gardening work ?
Earn and business takes with a few of you out with a lot of kit are different things. Costs a lot to keep a business running. Cheers👍
Wait you make £3k a week!?
If you don't do 2.5k a week for 3 of you out working all week with 15k of kit in the van being used how long do you think a business with all the costs keep going?
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd wow that is a lot of income, well done mate. I appreciate it is hard work though and the message of this video was very important.
@Steven-jn2cw cheers, that's not income as in wages I'm talking what the business takes tho.
You make £2,500 a week? Not even doctors make that
Not personally no, as a business tho with a couple out working with all the costs involved taking anything less would result in working for someone else a far easier option. Thanks for watching 👍
He’s spent decades building the business and working far harder than an employee ever would, and then all the costs for the business and taxes etc me personally I hope he has made a good living it’s not an easy game to be in especially in this modern climate
Thanks 👍 I don't owe a penny to anyone so I'll call that a success and good enough for me. Cheers for that
