Can I be mushy for a second? I am sooo stinkin proud of you! So honored to be your wife! You amaze me in all you do. Thank you for being real, honest and sincere. Thank you for all you do for us! You have us behind you supporting you along the way. We’ve got you, no matter what ❤️❤️❤️❤️
When you have a supportive family (and a wife like Tina who is obviously behind you 100%) you will never go wrong. In 20 years you won’t remember what project you stayed late to work on in the office, but you will remember how you took the kids to the movies, the beach, the theme parks etc….
Tina you are so supportive!!! I hope with new venture you will feel comfortable taking a more active part in the videos. I love seeing you and your kids in videos!!!
I walked around with my resignation letter in my pocket for weeks. I ended up chickening out and it took the pandemic to push me to do this full time. It’s rough at times, but I love it so much. I wish you the best Dave, no doubt you’ll be successful.
I almost clicked off at the 35 minute mark but hearing at the end of the video that you still need more to make money to cover your bills was all I needed to hear. That slight pressure will put you in overdrive and you’ll easily 2x your business! However, you may find yourself working just as many hours as before.
WOW! Congrats Dave on making this decision for you and your family. I think you being emotional is 100% normal as leaving a stable thing for an unknown is a difficult decision. You got this! We all have your back. I know we all joke about you being a horrible reseller but that's all it is - jokes. You do an incredible job! You have an amazing family and they are supportive as well! Congrats! We look forward to watching you soar!
This is life man! This is living :) Proud of you, we only have one of these…spend your time doing what you are passionate about and spending time with those you love. What an awesome time we live in! You can do all the things you dig and make a living…and a difference in others lives. You’re gonna do great, and you will never regret this :) Love ya Man. I’m selfishly excited to talk to you more….and remind you that Bale’s Batman is best.
Dave! OMG! That's awesome. You've got 20,000 subscribers behind you, moms, dads, husbands, wives - we got you! I also think it shows that you made the right choice moving to Florida because now you have lots of family around. This quote is out of one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost and I always go back to it - "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." I can't wait to keep watching and see where your journey takes you!
Hi, I just found your channel from BOLO Buddies. The first two minutes of this video hit hard with me. I don’t currently have a UA-cam channel but have been considering it. I started reselling about 5 years ago and have yet to be able to fully jump in. I’ve been seriously thinking of leaving teaching to commit to reselling and have the ability to spend more time with my young girls.
I think once you have more time to invest in this you will be fine. Proud of all the hard work you've put in to make this happen man! It's inspiring! You got this! No Doubts!! Congrats Dave!!
Dave- Congrats my friend! I have been reselling on eBay full time for 7 years and supporting my family as the main income source, and it has been ultimately incredibly rewarding. I still work 60+ hours a week, but to me in control of your own destiny from a mental standpoint really goes a long way (at least for me). Nothing is ever easy but given your dogged determination and work ethic, you got this!
Proud of you Dave! Just a note from a Retired Autoworker 32 yrs: when you go through a major change in your life everyone around you will too. No doubt you will do REALLY WELL!! Give your family & yourselves at least 8 months to a year to level out. Some people say 6 months. But it takes longer for most. You will not regret. I was so scared to go full time eBay I ended up getting a job at USPS FOR 4 year 😢 I hated it. Now I’m full time reselling & instruct eBay classes once a week at local library. 2+ years full time
Congrats Dave. I went full time reselling on Jan 6 after working in Information Technology for 23 years. It’s been the best move I have ever done. I have more freedom and spend so much more time with my family. Good luck you will definitely succeed.
Glad you realize this is your opportunity I stayed in a Mgr position my whole working life 60-70 hours a week and was burned out and missed a lot of my children life so fly high Dave
Oh my gosh, I was sitting in my car listening to this & I started crying! I’m so happy for you & that you had the courage to take this huge step!!! I will be keeping you & your family in my prayers. Looking forward to watching you as you begin this new chapter of your life! 🎉❤️
You took the leap! There's no change without conflict. There's a grieving process required, first. It's emotional & physiological. Your mind & body control the natural process. Due to your age & energy level, now is the time for change. Your self determination & passion will drive your life's direction. You're smart, flexible, thorough & logical about trouble shooting your business model & improving it. It's impressive. You're personally invested in a challenge that you love! Start each day with a smile & reassuring confidence. You have a community of people for support to foster success for your family.
Congratulations Dave!🎉 My husband was able to retire early from a lucrative corporate job that was making him miserable. He was able to start his own business (not reselling), and is enjoying it so much, I will have a hard time getting him to retire fully someday. The transition and insurance thing is scary, but you’ll figure it out. 😊
I am so happy for you that you’re going to do this full time. In all honesty when I first started watching your channel when you were still in NC, seeing how much inventory you had I always assumed you were full-time. Seeing things like this gives people like me who dream of one day taking the same chance hope.
Congrats Dave!! When you were going through all your emotions and feelings right before your last day, that brought back the exact feeling I went through as well as I'm sure others have before quitting and going full time. Work your azz off but don't forget to take time for yourself and take extra time with family. You can do that now. Best of luck, we're all cheering you on.
You've got this Dave! Fear has held me back from so many things so I am glad that you are taking your dad's advice trusting yourself in this endeavor! The best part is, if you find it is not working for you (which I know you will be successful) you can find another job and continue moving forward.
Any boss who is angry that someone is bettering themselves and moving onto a better chapter in their life would be a total jerk move. Good for your boss for being supportive of your choice
I am genuinely excited for you. While I loved working with the kids in my day job, I just can't put a price on the flexibility working for myself provides. I'm truly proud for you. Truly.
Hey Dave! You have been working hard, burning the candle from both ends, to achieve this opportunity! “Build your own dreams or someone else will hire you to build theirs.” Onward and Upward, Wishing you the best life has to offer!
Crazy! So I was talking with my boss yesterday about doing the same thing! They offered me a different position with hours that work well with my reselling business in an attempt to retain me.
Taking that jump is scary as a hamster in a tidal wave! Thanks for vlogging the final weeks of work thoughts, may help those debating the idea for themselves. Wishing you and your family the best possible future!!
Dave, congrats!!! So happy for you!!!! You'll do just fine. People love to hate watch you so your UA-cam revenue shouldn't change (lol). Much love and continued success
Wow wow !! So happy for you !! Glad it went well now make sure you get time with kids also I’m a grandma and one said to me one day one more sleep and my dad gets a day off with me so sad cause his dad is a work aholic!!
Congrats on joining the full time side. I quit my job almost two years ago also to go full time. thing is i went fulltime right from the start. Its a great feeling and i love the change. Well done.
Dave, I’ve been watching you for awhile now and love your content..just wanted to say I think you’re gonna love reselling full time. I started in 2019 reselling and finally quit my day job last October after 13 years to resell full time just like you. I love every minute of it. Congrats brother!! You’re the type of person that is going to do extremely well with this.
The fear will dissipate quickly and you will love your new freedom. Congrats to you and your family. You will thrive. This decision was made for me about four years ago, ending a 25-year career in a field that I previously loved but grew to abhor. Though I was upset at the time, I love that it happened. Best of luck going forward.
Wow Dave, you did it. Congratulations on becoming a full time reseller, I’m sure you will succeed. Tina wrote the sweetest comment, so we all know she will help you. My prayers are with you. Please keep making videos for your loyal followers to watch.
Congratulations Dave 👍 I’m excited to see more adventures from you !! Your giggle is infectious 🤗 looking forward to more recipes from AI 👍 Best of Luck !! Hope your last day wasn’t too emotional ❣️Time to live your dream with your family ❣️
I believe in you!!! Watched whole video, coming back to comment. Better to try and fail (not that you will) then always wonder. Can’t wait to see your success!
1:13 OMG… Here is where I noticed you are serious! I’m tearing up 🥺. Only thing I can say, leave on a good note, never burn bridges just in case, but go for it! You will succeed, sending positive vibes for much success on your endeavors, how exciting!!! Life is a roller coaster ride, good thing you love em! Enjoy the ride and good for you!!!!
🙌 I love working for myself...reselling and my brick and mortar store...and hopefully start with my youtube again! There is so much freedom in it. I get to enjoy my family, my chickens🤣 and reselling!
Wow! That’s awesome! So happy to follow your journey and excited to see how much more you will achieve! So glad to see you making the changes that bring you happiness. Love all you do and I am so glad to hear this!
You know what Dave? Let it go. They are a big company and will do fine without you. Enjoy your new ventures and just let it go. Stop overthinking it. You will be fine, your family will be fine. Get your new life moving! Robin from Texas
Hey Dave, just an idea…contact your buddy Josh (Hairy Tornado). I’m sure he would be happy to share w you what he and Hayley did when they were in this same exact situation. They have seemed to make it work and I’m sure they would have very helpful advice for you. You are going to do great w this. That post from Tina pulled some heart strings, not gonna lie. You have an amazing wife and amazing kids and also amazing parents. U got this 👊🏼☺️
I remember thinking you had a really great job. I quit my job 2 years ago for eBay. Now I am going back to work for the man. I hope your experience is better. Luckily you have UA-cam.
As I'm watching you telling us this I'm getting tears in my eyes too. It must be very hard and scary because you're having to provide for your family. You have a strong loving wife behind you that if anything came up you know she would be there for you. You are the only man I have ever seen that cares so much and works so damn hard burning the candle at both ends. You will be successful because you ALREADY ARE successful. We love you and we believe in you and I'm pretty sure you believe in yourself strongly or else you wouldn't be doing this. I wish you the very best I think you are a truly amazing man and I love your family just as well !🥰
As scary as change can be, and it can, when where you are in life is not working it would be a sin to continue, especially when better options are available. Best of luck in your next chapter of life, and remember your skills will allow you to get another 9 to 5 if it doesn't work.
Good for you!!! It’s hard making a big change. You don’t know me, but I’m excited for you! I went back to work part time after being retired for 8 years and I had horrible doubts of my capability to be a benefit to a company and not waste their time and resources. Going thru training I continued to have doubts. Having heard Cary joke about being fired actually helped me realize if it didn’t work out there are other jobs, other things to do to make money. Might resell one day. I know all will work well for you!
I’m lucky enough to be near the very end of my full time career, and fully expect to continue to sell items on eBay, and possibly Marketplace, or Whatnot, but no way could I ever have even considered giving up my career with a good salary, great pension, excellent benefits, and a 401k, for online selling. Never had the time to go garage-sale-ing, or stopping by estate sales, so I certainly don’t do it to the degree that you, and other UA-camrs do, with it being more of a supplemental income pastime. Sales, for me, are too sporadic, and unreliable for providing enough for myself, and my family. I wish you and your family all the luck in the world. Keep your chin up, and continue to pursue your passion. Gotta add, definitely would not have to self-insure. Hope you can find something reasonable.
Long time coming. The good news is that you have already been splashing around in the shallow end of the reselling/UA-cam pool for years so taking the deep plunge will be easier. Good luck man!
Congratulations! Not a surprise at all. Good for you being sponsored by Vendoo. I LOVE them! I’ve been with them since their free beta period, I think it was 2020. They’re the best!
I was thrilled to hear this; you are real, full of integrity and love your family ... and after reading your wonderful wifes' post I believe that you are doing the right thing!!!! I will come to your site daily and do everything to support you!!! Congratulations Dave!!!
🙋 Congratulations Dave ! So many wish they could do what you have done. * * Please check with the person who handles insurance at the human resources office at your last job. Most of the time your insurance benefits do not expire until 30 or 60 days after your last day of employment. You might want to check into Cobra benefits, to extend your insurance benefits with the company. The cost is normally high but, it could be cheaper than you getting insurance elsewhere on your own. It is definitely worth checking into. Wishing you the best of success in this new chapter of your life.
You absolutely got this! Fear is what keeps people paralyzed and doing the same thing they literally hate till the end of their life. I got physically sick when I would have to go to my 9-5 I quit and it was the best thing I have ever done. So go be happy doing what you love and then it doesn’t feel like work and all the financial blessings will come.
I know you can do it!! I have been with you during your journey (although you do not know me). A great sense of peace and happiness come across every video I watch of yours and I watch them all. You are an amazing human being and I believe you get back what you put out into the universe. Absolutely, you will receive blessings beyond your imagination!!
So cool Dave I’m happy for you. I had to laugh you have 3 people taking your place when I joined USAF back in 91 the vet I worked for hired 4 people to take my place. Shows how hard you worked for your company. Looking forward to seeing how you soar as your own boss😊💐👍🙏wishing you all the best! Sending you tons of Positive vibes 💐😊🙏
@@meticulouselectronics I hear you there so many people at my job show up for the pay check and barely do the minimum to get by. I’m lucky my team is a good team. Dreaming of doing what Dave did in about 2 years😊💐
You are very watchable, and I enjoy your honesty. You are young and got this!! Stay honest. Be real. Your tears make me know I have a different difficult decision. I had a friend lose her husband unexpectedly this week. We never, ever know. God bless and keep it family friendly!! ❤
Congratulations. I watch your videos all the time and I am literally exhausted for you sometimes. It's great you can slow down and enjoy your family and job. Good Luck with all you do. I'm sure great things are coming your way.
When I quit my job I was a manager of a department and factory. I was asked over and over and over by my manager to not quit yet or give them at least the rest of the summer and this was June at that time. And I almost said yes and man am I glad that I didn't. It's just like you I was checked out basically the day I told them I wanted to quit. It's really hard to stay motivated for somewhere you don't want to be. You deserve to move on and not let that baggage follow you. Don't let them make you feel guilty like they did me. I quit that job for my own mental health And I didn't have it in me to stay any longer. And guess what.. that business is still there still moving on without me.
Congratulations Dave. You will enjoy being the CEO of adhdave, as well as the selling exec , quality , buying, and film executives. And more. You'll be rolling in the dough with all those jobs. Wait!!! You've already been doing those things. 😊 I wish you the best with ebay and utube. I did something similar with my day job know that being there for family is such a top priority.
Good luck in your change - just take into consideration the cost of medical insurance which can be considerable - also no matching of retirement funds and as self employed have to pay all 15.4% Medicare and social security tax
I truly don't know how you worked full time, have multiple UA-cam channesl and a reseller business and found time for your sweet family and maintained your sanity-kudos to you for choosing you! I hope to retire in a year after 35 years in the medical field and plan to reinstate my Ebay business -all crossables crossed! Congratulations Dave-you will rock it!
Congratulations. It is scary to start new but you can do it. There’s always side hustles to make extra if you need to - my friend drives Uber & Lyft when he needs some extra bucks - sets his own time, pick & choses the rides he wants etc. don’t be surprised if your selling increases because you don’t have the added distraction of the day job. Anyway can’t wait to follow your journey
Congratulations. You have proven that reselling can be a full-time job. With my regular 9 to 5 job I have the option to go on call/ part-time and I did do that to focus more on eBay. It helps to have a supportive spouse. But I get it still scary because we all need money. Now though that I have been able to focus a lot more time on reselling almost all my metrics on eBay are in the green and going up. And now I've been able to start working on UA-cam videos again. Thank you Dave for the inspiration/ information you provide and all your videos.
You made me Cry seeing you cry. You are such a great person I am totally excited for you. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family with this new adventure in life.
There is no doubt you are going to be successful making this change. You are a hard worker and a wonderful family man. This will be chance to thrive with your business and your joy of family. I'm looking forward to seeing your success.
I totally feel you!!! I have been doing this since 2009. I’m still not all the way up in this eBay stuff,but I’m trying. Just believe, because we all believe in you!! You got this!!!
Congratulations to you! So I did this four years ago! And they also replaced me with three people lol. I really needed to watch this to remind myself why I left in the first place! Sometimes it seems it would be so much simpler to just take a job but I would be miserable. My daughter is now 7 and I took her skating today for the first time. I get to spend summers with her now which is priceless. So thank you for this documentary! I really needed the reminder. And I love how supportive your wife is! It's gonna be so good for you!'
Can I be mushy for a second? I am sooo stinkin proud of you! So honored to be your wife! You amaze me in all you do. Thank you for being real, honest and sincere. Thank you for all you do for us! You have us behind you supporting you along the way. We’ve got you, no matter what ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amen & Amen.
When you have a supportive family (and a wife like Tina who is obviously behind you 100%) you will never go wrong.
In 20 years you won’t remember what project you stayed late to work on in the office, but you will remember how you took the kids to the movies, the beach, the theme parks etc….
Tina you are so supportive!!! I hope with new venture you will feel comfortable taking a more active part in the videos. I love seeing you and your kids in videos!!!
Would your job let you continue with their insurance and you pay them or help out couple times throughout year when they need it
Tina, you are one of the most supportive wives I've ever seen!
We are all excited for you Dave. I have been selfishly waiting for this moment for a long time.
You both are amazing people and I wish you both the very best.
Gosh you all kept this hidden soooo well! 😅
Now if we can get Cary to go back to work at some burger joint, so he can quit too!!!
Thank you for all your support and encouragement! Yall are a blessing to our family!
Big congrats man! I have no doubt that you’ll do very well with all this. You have experience, a supportive family, and a killer work ethic.
Thanks bud
Happy you are following your dreams.
My dad used to say if you enjoy what you are doing, you never “work “ a day in your life. Best wishes!
I walked around with my resignation letter in my pocket for weeks. I ended up chickening out and it took the pandemic to push me to do this full time. It’s rough at times, but I love it so much. I wish you the best Dave, no doubt you’ll be successful.

Congrats Dave! You deserve this! I took the leap two years ago and it was the best decison I ever made.

Ask your primary care doctor what their cash price would be for appointments. Mine charged $75 when I didn’t have insurance
Nothing more important than time with family. So happy for you!
That’s awesome. I haven’t worked for anybody in over 3 years. Gods got ya. ❤
Dave!! AWESOME news! Congratulations! It will be scary at first, but you’ll power thru it and BE HAPPIER!!! Live your dream! ❤
Oh my gosh, I was sitting in my car listening to this & I started crying! I’m so happy for you & that you had the courage to take this huge step!!! I will be keeping you & your family in my prayers. Looking forward to watching you as you begin this new chapter of your life! 🎉❤️
Congrats Dave you will be so much happier! I know you can do this!
Congratulations my friend! This says alot about your growth as a person and business. You already got this!
You took the leap! There's no change without conflict. There's a grieving process required, first. It's emotional & physiological. Your mind & body control the natural process. Due to your age & energy level, now is the time for change. Your self determination & passion will drive your life's direction.

Start each day with a smile & reassuring confidence. You have a community of people for support to

It’s done.. I wish you the best of luck Dave!! May I suggest “Block scheduling”. Look into it! Great for us ADHD peepes

We are so proud of you and Tina! Your team is behind you!!! 🎉🎉🎉
You’ve got this!!!! Although I stopped reselling recently, I still love seeing the progress on all my favorite resellers.
This is outstanding! So super excited for you! Now, you’re gonna have time to really live your life! You’ll be so happy - and so will your family!!
You've got this Dave! Fear has held me back from so many things so I am glad that you are taking your dad's advice trusting yourself in this endeavor! The best part is, if you find it is not working for you (which I know you will be successful) you can find another job and continue moving forward.

Crazy! So I was talking with my boss yesterday about doing the same thing! They offered me a different position with hours that work well with my reselling business in an attempt to retain me.
Taking that jump is scary as a hamster in a tidal wave! Thanks for vlogging the final weeks of work thoughts, may help those debating the idea for themselves. Wishing you and your family the best possible future!!

Wow wow !! So happy for you !! Glad it went well now make sure you get time with kids also I’m a grandma and one said to me one day one more sleep and my dad gets a day off with me so sad cause his dad is a work aholic!!
Congratulations, I will be there to support you by continuing to watch your videos. I enjoy your sense of humor and content. You go boy.
Congrats on joining the full time side. I quit my job almost two years ago also to go full time. thing is i went fulltime right from the start. Its a great feeling and i love the change. Well done.
You are doing the right thing Dave - seek joy! It will be a better life. Congratulations and good luck. I know you’ll be fine.
Dave, I’ve been watching you for awhile now and love your content..just wanted to say I think you’re gonna love reselling full time.

Congratulations Dave 👍 I’m excited to see more adventures from you !! Your giggle is infectious 🤗 looking forward to more recipes from AI 👍 Best of Luck !! Hope your last day wasn’t too emotional ❣️Time to live your dream with your family ❣️

🙌 I love working for myself...reselling and my brick and mortar store...and hopefully start with my youtube again! There is so much freedom in it. I get to enjoy my family, my chickens🤣 and reselling!
Wow! That’s awesome! So happy to follow your journey and excited to see how much more you will achieve! So glad to see you making the changes that bring you happiness. Love all you do and I am so glad to hear this!
Takes a lot of courage to chase your dreams, Dave. It's evident from past videos how important family time is for you. Wish you the best!
You know what Dave? Let it go. They are a big company and will do fine without you. Enjoy your new ventures and just let it go. Stop overthinking it. You will be fine, your family will be fine. Get your new life moving! Robin from Texas
Great for you…you have been working so hard recently..ur quality of life will skyrocket…and u will be doing what you love …inspiring
Hey Dave, just an idea…contact your buddy Josh (Hairy Tornado). I’m sure he would be happy to share w you what he and Hayley did when they were in this same exact situation. They have seemed to make it work and I’m sure they would have very helpful advice for you.
You are going to do great w this. That post from Tina pulled some heart strings, not gonna lie. You have an amazing wife and amazing kids and also amazing parents. U got this 👊🏼☺️
I remember thinking you had a really great job. I quit my job 2 years ago for eBay. Now I am going back to work for the man. I hope your experience is better. Luckily you have UA-cam.
As I'm watching you telling us this I'm getting tears in my eyes too. It must be very hard and scary because you're having to provide for your family. You have a strong loving wife behind you that if anything came up you know she would be there for you. You are the only man I have ever seen that cares so much and works so damn hard burning the candle at both ends. You will be successful because you ALREADY ARE successful. We love you and we believe in you and I'm pretty sure you believe in yourself strongly or else you wouldn't be doing this. I wish you the very best I think you are a truly amazing man and I love your family just as well !🥰
❤❤❤
I am glad you left in such a good light… always keep the doors open!
As scary as change can be, and it can, when where you are in life is not working it would be a sin to continue, especially when better options are available. Best of luck in your next chapter of life, and remember your skills will allow you to get another 9 to 5 if it doesn't work.
Good for you!!! It’s hard making a big change. You don’t know me, but I’m excited for you! I went back to work part time after being retired for 8 years and I had horrible doubts of my capability to be a benefit to a company and not waste their time and resources. Going thru training I continued to have doubts. Having heard Cary joke about being fired actually helped me realize if it didn’t work out there are other jobs, other things to do to make money. Might resell one day.
I know all will work well for you!
Really proud of you! Its brave of you to go on this journey! prayers for u and your family! Im absolutely certain you will be successful!!!!!!!!!
Very happy for you!!! With your tenacity, I know you can make this next chapter of your life a success!
I’m lucky enough to be near the very end of my full time career, and fully expect to continue to sell items on eBay, and possibly Marketplace, or Whatnot, but no way could I ever have even considered giving up my career with a good salary, great pension, excellent benefits, and a 401k, for online selling. Never had the time to go garage-sale-ing, or stopping by estate sales, so I certainly don’t do it to the degree that you, and other UA-camrs do, with it being more of a supplemental income pastime. Sales, for me, are too sporadic, and unreliable for providing enough for myself, and my family. I wish you and your family all the luck in the world. Keep your chin up, and continue to pursue your passion. Gotta add, definitely would not have to self-insure. Hope you can find something reasonable.
Long time coming. The good news is that you have already been splashing around in the shallow end of the reselling/UA-cam pool for years so taking the deep plunge will be easier. Good luck man!
Congratulations! Not a surprise at all. Good for you being sponsored by Vendoo. I LOVE them! I’ve been with them since their free beta period, I think it was 2020. They’re the best!
Congrats Dave! I hope everything works out for you and your family. Will keep watching and commenting and liking all of your videos.
I’m so stinkin proud of you!!
You got this!!
Congratulations!!
❤❤
Nothing surpasses a spouse's unconditional love. She knows you well. Keep nurturing each other.
I was thrilled to hear this; you are real, full of integrity and love your family ... and after reading your wonderful wifes' post I believe that you are doing the right thing!!!! I will come to your site daily and do everything to support you!!! Congratulations Dave!!!
🙋 Congratulations Dave ! So many wish they could do what you have done.
* * Please check with the person who handles insurance at the human resources office at your last job. Most of the time your insurance benefits do not expire until 30 or 60 days after your last day of employment. You might want to check into Cobra benefits, to extend your insurance benefits with the company. The cost is normally high but, it could be cheaper than you getting insurance elsewhere on your own. It is definitely worth checking into.
Wishing you the best of success in this new chapter of your life.
That is so awesome to take that leap of faith. I am still just dipping my toe in. Maybe some day and thanks for the inspiration.
You absolutely got this! Fear is what keeps people paralyzed and doing the same thing they literally hate till the end of their life. I got physically sick when I would have to go to my 9-5 I quit and it was the best thing I have ever done. So go be happy doing what you love and then it doesn’t feel like work and all the financial blessings will come.
I know you can do it!! I have been with you during your journey (although you do not know me). A great sense of peace and happiness come across every video I watch of yours and I watch them all. You are an amazing human being and I believe you get back what you put out into the universe. Absolutely, you will receive blessings beyond your imagination!!
I'm so happy for u. U got this brother. U can do it don't over think it. Proud of u. Now we get more Dave.
So cool Dave I’m happy for you. I had to laugh you have 3 people taking your place when I joined USAF back in 91 the vet I worked for hired 4 people to take my place. Shows how hard you worked for your company. Looking forward to seeing how you soar as your own boss😊💐👍🙏wishing you all the best! Sending you tons of Positive vibes 💐😊🙏
Companies only realize what they lost when they end up paying 4 people to do 1 persons job. My job needed 5 people to replace me lol
@@meticulouselectronics I hear you there so many people at my job show up for the pay check and barely do the minimum to get by. I’m lucky my team is a good team. Dreaming of doing what Dave did in about 2 years😊💐
@@pufles65 you can do it. I'm 2 years in and full time for past 2 months. Left a great career like Dave. But now I'm very happy. I'm rooting for you
You are very watchable, and I enjoy your honesty. You are young and got this!! Stay honest. Be real. Your tears make me know I have a different difficult decision. I had a friend lose her husband unexpectedly this week. We never, ever know. God bless and keep it family friendly!! ❤
Congratulations. I watch your videos all the time and I am literally exhausted for you sometimes. It's great you can slow down and enjoy your family and job. Good Luck with all you do. I'm sure great things are coming your way.
When I quit my job I was a manager of a department and factory. I was asked over and over and over by my manager to not quit yet or give them at least the rest of the summer and this was June at that time. And I almost said yes and man am I glad that I didn't. It's just like you I was checked out basically the day I told them I wanted to quit. It's really hard to stay motivated for somewhere you don't want to be. You deserve to move on and not let that baggage follow you. Don't let them make you feel guilty like they did me. I quit that job for my own mental health And I didn't have it in me to stay any longer. And guess what.. that business is still there still moving on without me.
Congratulations Dave. You will enjoy being the CEO of adhdave, as well as the selling exec , quality , buying, and film executives. And more. You'll be rolling in the dough with all those jobs. Wait!!! You've already been doing those things. 😊
I wish you the best with ebay and utube. I did something similar with my day job know that being there for family is such a top priority.
Good luck in your change - just take into consideration the cost of medical insurance which can be considerable - also no matching of retirement funds and as self employed have to pay all 15.4% Medicare and social security tax
Congratulation! It's a big scary step, but it sounds like you're ready for it. I wish you the best of luck!
Congrats Dave, God be with you, and your family!
I truly don't know how you worked full time, have multiple UA-cam channesl and a reseller business and found time for your sweet family and maintained your sanity-kudos to you for choosing you! I hope to retire in a year after 35 years in the medical field and plan to reinstate my Ebay business -all crossables crossed! Congratulations Dave-you will rock it!
Congratulations. It is scary to start new but you can do it. There’s always side hustles to make extra if you need to - my friend drives Uber & Lyft when he needs some extra bucks - sets his own time, pick & choses the rides he wants etc. don’t be surprised if your selling increases because you don’t have the added distraction of the day job. Anyway can’t wait to follow your journey
Wow I think this is cool Dave because this is what makes you happy and everything will be great!!! Love watching your videos😀👍
Congratulations. You have proven that reselling can be a full-time job. With my regular 9 to 5 job I have the option to go on call/ part-time and I did do that to focus more on eBay. It helps to have a supportive spouse. But I get it still scary because we all need money. Now though that I have been able to focus a lot more time on reselling almost all my metrics on eBay are in the green and going up. And now I've been able to start working on UA-cam videos again. Thank you Dave for the inspiration/ information you provide and all your videos.
Congrats Dave! I am so proud of you and you got this. Can't wait to see where this new life decision takes you.
Sooooo exciting! You will do amazing Dave!!!! ❤❤
Congrats! You are blessed! God has got you and your family!!!
Way to go!! I know it is hard - but you will be so great and God will bless you!
You made me Cry seeing you cry. You are such a great person I am totally excited for you. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family with this new adventure in life.
you will do great! I did it 5 years ago and still going strong. Trust in God and not yourself and you will not fail. keep going strong
There is no doubt you are going to be successful making this change. You are a hard worker and a wonderful family man. This will be chance to thrive with your business and your joy of family.
I'm looking forward to seeing your success.
I totally feel you!!! I have been doing this since 2009. I’m still not all the way up in this eBay stuff,but I’m trying. Just believe, because we all believe in you!! You got this!!!
Congratulations to you! So I did this four years ago! And they also replaced me with three people lol. I really needed to watch this to remind myself why I left in the first place! Sometimes it seems it would be so much simpler to just take a job but I would be miserable. My daughter is now 7 and I took her skating today for the first time. I get to spend summers with her now which is priceless. So thank you for this documentary! I really needed the reminder. And I love how supportive your wife is! It's gonna be so good for you!'
