What you are doing is very inspiring and a great motivator 👊 keep up the good work and I wish you every success.
@@gkrees9509 actually, yeah. I have UA-cam premium and it's all I use for music. So if I am not listening to one of my playlists, then yes I search the videos I watch. I don't let the algorithm decide for me.
It’s always those stories that are best. They’re the ones that show you there’s not a big difference between this guy and me. Just the tiny bit of difference with mindset
This bloke seems like the sort that deserves the nice car, and all the trappings of success. He isn't making money out of money like a useless banker, he is employing people and paying their mortgages. Great video
I'm a teacher and I'm going to use this in my classes to impress upon the students how hard you have to work to make a success of your life and career.
Yeah but one day you'll wake up and realise it's all in vain anyway, so why spend so much time working when you can do other fun stuff and have hobbies and travel. All that money won't make you happy in the end. It's just stuff. Emtpy. Workaholics have the worst midlife crisis. They realise they ve wasted their youth being a money making machine than doing what they really love, or finding meaning. A teacher shouldn't be promoting this kind of lifestyle in my opinion, it affects young people's mindset and makes them realise that money IS happiness while clearly it's not (to an extent it is, it does contribute to being happy I won't argue) . Sure a few will make it, they might even enjoy it, but that's the very few. The rest, when they realise they're not good enough or clever enough or lucky enough, they get depressed - we know where that can lead. Anyway, just my thoughts though do whatever the fuck you want to do
@@gkrees9509 uneducated? Why has that got to do with anything? I'm 22 man been to college. Some observations in making now that I'm wiser that my 18 year old self wouldn't have thought off
I searched for "A day in the life of construction business owner" because I am starting my own bookkeeping business and want to focus on the construction industry. This just showed me how much harder I need to work on my own business as well. Thank you very much!

That is false modesty, don't you see the yellow range rover with his name on the bonnet, bodybuilding physicue and youtube channel to talk about his success. He has dedicated his life to impress others rather than simply enjoy it
@@themarenda the other stuff maybe but the bodybuilding physique part is a good thing we should all take care of our body and love it not feed it garbage and do no exercise
Yo Daniel, I’m 21 and just started a project management within construction degree. Your videos just made me more hungry to finish this degree and set my own thing up. Appreciate you big bro
Big respect it shows that success doesn’t come without hard work, people are so quick to look at Instagram and think people have it all but they don’t see the grind behind the scene to make it.
I'm a fan from South Africa ... And I have been working in construction ... Since 14 years old ... And now I'm 23 handle all the finances, quotations, material purchases, transportation, etc it's busy and I love being on top of everything.
I have also been in the construction business working at my parents hardware business since 19 yrs im now 23, seeing a guy like this gives me a realistic picture of where i could be if i stick with this path.

If the manager/owner can put their ego & insecurities aside (which is very hard to do, if it was easy everyone would be doing it) they can hire the best worker even if they cant relate to them
That's right, bringing his race up just takes some of the credit away from this man. And we all should be inspired by successful people regardless of their skin colour
We need more guys like you in the UK. Go getters, inspirational, making things happen. Never hear an excuse, never hear you being a victim. Big shoulders, taking responsibility on them. Total respect.

As a construction company owner myself. This video was very insightful and valuable in how to move and operate as a CEO. Take notes, being the director of any company is stressful and you literally work from sun up to sun down. Unfortunately not everyone is made for that lifestyle. But it can be extremely rewarding
I do more YouTubing than I care to admit and this has been one of the most valuable 24:50 of my life. I admire the way you use your time here on earth. So frickin cool

Love this. Every spare moment during the day is used to move business forward. Whether it’s nonstop calls in the car, repurposing an old shelving system, or rerouting lorries to be more efficient. Not once did I see him on the phone passing time. He’s clearly working hard and that makes the people who work for him see that and wrk harder themselves. Nobody likes a boss that sits around.
@@lidl9335 I've already been out of the house half an hour when he is getting up, hard work and long hours isn't an automatic big pay cheque, that's the myth told to keep people working themselves to death for the 1% to keep hold of everything.
I have a lot of respect for trade type entrepreneur's, a friend of mine owns a window cleaning company and I understand how things change at any moment in time and you just got to go with the flow of things and over come the day with being positive , cheer's to you brother keep up the good work.
@@DBProductions12345-m you do get that much in construction. but he didn't say he replies to them all. he should hire someone to answer his emails, make a list of what needs to be said.
Finally a relatable video of the everyday life of the construction industry. I own a Landscape company in Chicago and there is definitely similar struggles. Great to see you handling everything so well. Keep the videos coming
@@lolbots from a person looking in ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. From a business owner: employees, time lost, scheduling, breakdowns, taxes, safety Healthcare, planning, lack of man power due to the labor force, insurance regulations, taxes, maintaining positive cash flow, estimating and job leads, etc. There is more behind every company than the average person can see. That's why I said the video is RELATABLE. Obviously you can't relate. So don't reply.
Yeah if you have decent car it probably has a whole different driving experience ... I hit a pothole in my Corsa and I'm covered... He hits a pothole and it is like a little breeze touching the tyre lol...
I have been running my own business for a year and a half. I've watched a million vids on entrepreneurs to try and understand how it is for others.This one has been , by far, the most helpful because rather than giving a detached overview you are showing the real grind and the consistent hard work it takes day to day to run a business. Kudos to you your drive and determination is very clear to see. I found this video extremely helpful and I work in the fostering sector!!
Dedication, sacrifice and hardworking that’s all you need to succeed, never been an easy task that’s why many people fail and struggle.Thank you for the inspirational I enjoyed watching your video . God bless you
I like your man management skills, very clear and always in control of any situation! Seems like you have a good team around you too, which is by far the most important thing in Management!
This is valuable. If you’re an entrepreneurial guy/girl.. this is gold. It’s all well and good listening to tips and tricks.. but to see it in action, wow
Honestly thank you for this. I took over my family business 6 years ago, been working hard to grow things. This video really motivated me for real. Our business is job shop, so things throughout the day change so fast just like yours. After seeing you deal with it all, this is how I visioned managing it all when my company gets bigger. So it kind of put my vision into video form where I can see what it might look like a few years from now. Appreciate it!
imhemaster it’s more like here’s everything I learned for the past 17 years plus a shit ton of responsibilities make it better or sink it. Handed but not easy to eat.
This was honestly a great insight. Guaranteed 24 hours is not enough time in the day for this guy. You just have to be a different breed to operate like this guy.
@@keithy363 LOL. Leave it out.. besides the point. The guy is young, BLACK and successful. Of course more can apply themselves and do well no matter the background.. that's not the point. I'm acknowledging HIS achievements with no apologies. He just so happens to be black/mixed race.. which connects with me more because I am. It's not a common sight yet, especially within this industry. What he's doing is inspirational period.. regardless of colour.. especially if you're working class. Not sure why you're touchy.
L 1 I just feel when people make a point of saying “ ooh is t the black man doing well “ type of comment is kind of derogatory . Would love to know how and where it all began though , on a personal note my cousins who are mixed race were never brought up with any stigma attached to them nor was their father ( Ghanaian ) heritage
@@keithy363 I get what you mean, but I'm moreso coming from the angle of that's a black man doing well.. not he's doing well for a black man.. if you get the difference. People like him are an example of what the norm can/should be. I'm sure people like him don't even want his colour to be the focus.. just his ability.. we will get there.
L 1 👊 I get ya some white folk stigmatise themselves too , I watch a fella called Sara Garvey on here and he put something up which I thought was awesome he said he doesn’t teach his kids about black slaves but of black kings etc from back in the day setting him up for positive thought not negative , I cane from a council estate in Slough patents sometimes had 2 jobs owned their own home , wanted to get of their estates mum ended up getting a nursing degree at 35 we all now live in Australia I work in oil and gas so just need the right mindset not the victim / government owes me mindset
I really respect this guy. He really inspire me, like to see black men in business. Hats off to you my brother. I would definitely need some advice regarding the business that I’m running.
I bet you a million bucks Daniel does not see him self as “a black man in business” he’s a man he runs a business he’s successful and his skin color happens to be dark in complexion.
Wow, I'm so glad the UA-cam algorithm brought me to your channel. I'm also happy to see a successful, Black British businessman out here doing his thing.. so much more relatable. Questions: How did you get started? Do you have a family? A wife?? Can someone in your position ever make time for the latter? Do you ever go on holiday? If yes, how many a year? What are your goals? Objectives? Any days off? I'm so curious. Anyway, stay blessed and thank you all for the great content!
One thing I learned about leadership is that you should always ‘start with why’. Not once did he tell someone why he needed them to do something and instead told them to just do it. “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it” - Simon Sinek
I'm theory you're right but practically it could be difficult telling every single person why? Sometimes employees just need to be told what to do. Why? Because they don't care, its just a job to them. They just want the day to end and go home.
@@JH-lo5gg you'll know who to explain why to I guess and who not to bother with. I know plenty who will argue to the point where I have to tell them to just do it and I wonder why I bothered trying to explain
I've been searching for videos like this ma whole life..since im a die hard construction fan..and here it comes..i really wished I could work there too..from india❤❤🇮🇳
Now That's very motivating, just to see a brother do his best every day for a business he started patiently from the ground up. May God continue blessing you bro.
Total admiration , unintentionally one of the great motivational videos that are on UA-cam similar to arnie or the rock. Good for him. Someone to aspire to .
This is the kind of businessman I hope I can be one day. Clean cut, well spoken, respectful to employees, sense of humor but gets shit done

When you rewatch old videos because of the kick it gives and of course ashville weekly feels like ashville monthly just waiting.
Love this. Every spare moment during the day is used to move business forward. Whether it’s nonstop calls in the car, repurposing an old shelving system, or rerouting lorries to be more efficient. Not once did I see him on the phone passing time. He’s clearly working hard and that makes the people who work for him see that and wrk harder themselves. Nobody likes a boss that sits around.
This guy is such an inspiration people think they'd love his life and money but would they willing to put the work in
It's all fun and game until u have to get up 5 in the morning
@@lidl9335 innit for real for real
People like him make the world go around. Most people don't want to work too hard, myself included.
Colorful Codes 🤩😀
@@lidl9335 I've already been out of the house half an hour when he is getting up, hard work and long hours isn't an automatic big pay cheque, that's the myth told to keep people working themselves to death for the 1% to keep hold of everything.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. As busy as he looks he really looks like he enjoys the unpredictable nature of his work. Inspirational stuff
“Don’t ask me a question you can just google yeh?” Haha that’s quality
This is true. Cz everybody gotta work aint nobody got time to waste on questions whose answers are in the net
I have a lot of respect for trade type entrepreneur's, a friend of mine owns a window cleaning company and I understand how things change at any moment in time and you just got to go with the flow of things and over come the day with being positive , cheer's to you brother keep up the good work.
So much respect, that's all, from one business owner to another!
250-300 emails a day...GOD! I get about 6 emails a day and it bugs me the heck out. You're inspiring, sir.
He’s exaggerating. No way he gets 300 emails a day
@@DBProductions12345-m you do get that much in construction. but he didn't say he replies to them all. he should hire someone to answer his emails, make a list of what needs to be said.
Finally a relatable video of the everyday life of the construction industry. I own a Landscape company in Chicago and there is definitely similar struggles. Great to see you handling everything so well. Keep the videos coming
what's so difficult about landscaping? one of the scams of the modern world
@@lolbots from a person looking in ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. From a business owner: employees, time lost, scheduling, breakdowns, taxes, safety Healthcare, planning, lack of man power due to the labor force, insurance regulations, taxes, maintaining positive cash flow, estimating and job leads, etc. There is more behind every company than the average person can see. That's why I said the video is RELATABLE. Obviously you can't relate. So don't reply.
He is very organized and professional. As a veteran I appreciate that, cheers mate from the USA!
I'm impressed by him driving around with a mug of coffee without spilling 😂
I was thinking how the heck do you even shift with a cup of coffee until I realized there are automatics
Lol
Yeah if you have decent car it probably has a whole different driving experience ... I hit a pothole in my Corsa and I'm covered... He hits a pothole and it is like a little breeze touching the tyre lol...
scripted bs
Jesus Christ people are so stupid, he has an automatic car so you only need to turn the wheel, its not that difficult
I have been running my own business for a year and a half. I've watched a million vids on entrepreneurs to try and understand how it is for others.This one has been , by far, the most helpful because rather than giving a detached overview you are showing the real grind and the consistent hard work it takes day to day to run a business. Kudos to you your drive and determination is very clear to see. I found this video extremely helpful and I work in the fostering sector!!
This must be one of the most likeable, admirable people on UA-cam. Massive respect to him as a person and a business leader.
So glad I found this channel, blinking interesting.
Lack of focus is why most of us fail . We never get started!
Watching this is so motivational in so many levels, Ashville's work ethic is amazing. . . Glad to see infrastructure that actually works i.e trains
Forget Tony Robbins this video is my go too motivation. I watched it 3 times now. Well done.
Must have forgot about the part where u hit the gym hard every day
Dedication, sacrifice and hardworking that’s all you need to succeed, never been an easy task that’s why many people fail and struggle.Thank you for the inspirational I enjoyed watching your video . God bless you
So much content in 25 minutes, real hustler.
This is honestly the best thing on UA-cam. You need to make it a constant thing. The public want to see you on your day to day business.
I like your man management skills, very clear and always in control of any situation! Seems like you have a good team around you too, which is by far the most important thing in Management!
Give this man his own show on Channel 4!!
100% agree. 👏
Channel 4 will ruin it
This is valuable. If you’re an entrepreneurial guy/girl.. this is gold. It’s all well and good listening to tips and tricks.. but to see it in action, wow
This is actually inspiring. Chill, no bullshit and straight to buisness. Will be watching more of your videos and taking notes. 💯
100% agree
Honestly thank you for this. I took over my family business 6 years ago, been working hard to grow things. This video really motivated me for real. Our business is job shop, so things throughout the day change so fast just like yours. After seeing you deal with it all, this is how I visioned managing it all when my company gets bigger. So it kind of put my vision into video form where I can see what it might look like a few years from now. Appreciate it!
The world needs more people like you Daniel. May your business go from strength to strength.
You remind me of my dad when we he started his business now 17 years later I’m 21 and running it , love it Manz
Handed to you on a plate. Good for you
@ryan ashley I'd like to think that translates to " you deserve everything you got ". In regards @josh's comment.
imhemaster it’s more like here’s everything I learned for the past 17 years plus a shit ton of responsibilities make it better or sink it. Handed but not easy to eat.
I got tired just by watching this , and I’m laying on my bed. Respect the drive and hustle 💯
This was honestly a great insight. Guaranteed 24 hours is not enough time in the day for this guy. You just have to be a different breed to operate like this guy.
Finally a construction company that sees the massive potential in making good content, fantastic video.
Guy is super hard working.. young black man at the top of his game. Real inspiration.
He’s a young man it’s nothing to do with his colour many black men can do what he does , even from council estates
@@keithy363 LOL. Leave it out.. besides the point. The guy is young, BLACK and successful. Of course more can apply themselves and do well no matter the background.. that's not the point. I'm acknowledging HIS achievements with no apologies. He just so happens to be black/mixed race.. which connects with me more because I am. It's not a common sight yet, especially within this industry. What he's doing is inspirational period.. regardless of colour.. especially if you're working class. Not sure why you're touchy.
L 1 I just feel when people make a point of saying “ ooh is t the black man doing well “ type of comment is kind of derogatory . Would love to know how and where it all began though , on a personal note my cousins who are mixed race were never brought up with any stigma attached to them nor was their father ( Ghanaian ) heritage
@@keithy363 I get what you mean, but I'm moreso coming from the angle of that's a black man doing well.. not he's doing well for a black man.. if you get the difference. People like him are an example of what the norm can/should be. I'm sure people like him don't even want his colour to be the focus.. just his ability.. we will get there.
L 1 👊 I get ya some white folk stigmatise themselves too , I watch a fella called Sara Garvey on here and he put something up which I thought was awesome he said he doesn’t teach his kids about black slaves but of black kings etc from back in the day setting him up for positive thought not negative , I cane from a council estate in Slough patents sometimes had 2 jobs owned their own home , wanted to get of their estates mum ended up getting a nursing degree at 35 we all now live in Australia I work in oil and gas so just need the right mindset not the victim / government owes me mindset
Impressive, the founder is clearly driven, focused, very hardworking and also seems a decent grounded guy. Really good to watch.
I'm a warehouse supervisor and I love his ethics on management and keeping a positive attitude even with issues arising!
I really respect this guy. He really inspire me, like to see black men in business. Hats off to you my brother. I would definitely need some advice regarding the business that I’m running.
Here you go with your government indoctrination camp compartmentalizations.
I bet you a million bucks Daniel does not see him self as “a black man in business” he’s a man he runs a business he’s successful and his skin color happens to be dark in complexion.
@@Mysteryofmines Beta male
Why bringing his skin colour? How dare you saying that. Honestly....
Racist
Respect for all the hard/smart work. A true leader that sets a good example. I am impressed with the dedication.
he does so much in the morning, I'm only getting my day started at noon
Wow, I'm so glad the UA-cam algorithm brought me to your channel. I'm also happy to see a successful, Black British businessman out here doing his thing.. so much more relatable. Questions: How did you get started? Do you have a family? A wife?? Can someone in your position ever make time for the latter? Do you ever go on holiday? If yes, how many a year? What are your goals? Objectives? Any days off? I'm so curious. Anyway, stay blessed and thank you all for the great content!
This guys works more than his employees, this's very motivating
This appeared on my recommendation but I love the drive and efficiency he puts into his work.
Now this is a documentary! The highs the lows the reality of running a business. Awesome 💪🏽🙌🏽
One thing I learned about leadership is that you should always ‘start with why’. Not once did he tell someone why he needed them to do something and instead told them to just do it. “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it” - Simon Sinek
I'm theory you're right but practically it could be difficult telling every single person why? Sometimes employees just need to be told what to do. Why? Because they don't care, its just a job to them. They just want the day to end and go home.
@@JH-lo5gg you'll know who to explain why to I guess and who not to bother with. I know plenty who will argue to the point where I have to tell them to just do it and I wonder why I bothered trying to explain
I've been searching for videos like this ma whole life..since im a die hard construction fan..and here it comes..i really wished I could work there too..from india❤❤🇮🇳
Yianni got me here!
For everyone watching.
This is what you call consistent and pure dedication!
Great video.
Now That's very motivating, just to see a brother do his best every day for a business he started patiently from the ground up. May God continue blessing you bro.
Feel like I could learn a lot from his work ethic. Very focused and gets things done.
Me too
We need more black men like you teaching business ownership equal wealth and independence.
We noticed you didn't get a love heart for saying something as good as that maybe he don't respect the word black
@@justynssagan6156 or just busy...
@@wealthautomations no you're being generous he's not he knows everything what is going on on his channel don't get it twisted
@@wealthautomations he's not interested in all that pan-african mumbo jumbo because he's doing business with all race that's how you make money
stumbled across this video by accident and actually enjoy watching it! hard work and persistence really does pay off!
It’s always great seeing black men owning their own businesses and doing well in the process
Hell yea
Yh but 0 black employees
The only time you can walk onto a job site with a baseball helmet is if you the one paying everyone 😂
Hard hats in Europe look like that.
LMAO, bruh haha. That shit got me too 😂
@@zackzander425 Walk onto an American job site like that let me know how it goes
Zack Zander No they don’t 😂
@@Jonish_ yeah.... often they do. get with the program...
Total admiration , unintentionally one of the great motivational videos that are on UA-cam similar to arnie or the rock. Good for him. Someone to aspire to .
Humble hardworking successful. Enjoyed watching this video! No doubt this will inspire a lot of people. Salute from New Zealand✊🏽
I love how the office they work in seems to be a container structure. Smart move skirting the building costs of a brick and mortar structure.
I really like this guy. Direct, respectful, driven, intelligent.
More please Daniel, A series at Asheville would be cool, especially a day with one of your drivers.
Damn this is inspiring. Shutter vision, wide open throttle; I hope to adopt this level of work ethic.
