    Everything is easy when you aren’t the guy doing it. A lot of people don’t see the hustle it takes sometimes to get ahead and make it in a business. The times you don’t get a paycheck, the long hours because something breaks down. Much respect to you for your hustle.

    Being a small business owner myself i definitely know the feeling man.. people dont realize the grind that happens behind the scenes, the time away from family, the stress, the worry etc.. it can break you down, thats what seperates the men from the boys.. been in business 11 yrs now and it's still a grind..👊

    20 years ago I was on the streets, fresh out the marines and not in a good place mentally. Last year I made 142k (not much to some but unthinkable to.me back then) long twisting road got me to where I am. I work my ass off for what I got and I'm proud of where I am. Alot of people want to piss and moan about life and refuse to do anything about it. Enjoy the channels keep the videos coming.

    YOU ANSWERED NEARLY ALL the question I had about you. I watch lots of these channels and you really got it going on. Your betrayal story reminded of the many times in the Holy Bible bad things happen to people only to result in some major transformation for good down the road. I watch many w/o the sound because I can see what's happening but I knew you had to have some major training to be that damn good mechanically. I been racking my brain for months wondering what the hell a V Belt is. There's no better feeling being out in the woods or on a construction crew or going down the road when you know your with a guy who can fix nearly anything that goes wrong mechanically. And it will go wrong. I got mad respect for you buddy. Stay sober. Psalms 19.

    I appreciate you telling this story.You remind me of Gov. Gary Johnson.
    Your smart, but humble to a degree, not saying your some sorta saint, not throwing that kinda "weight" at you.
    Listening to you talk.. & probably being close to the same age as you, I could relate a bit, & its motivated me, & made me
    want to "gird up my loins" or whatever that saying is, & try harder.
    I will say I'm envious you get along as well as you do with
    your old man.. I wish I could say the same about my dad. He owned his own business & when I was younger I wanted to get into it,
    but rather than train me, he kept pushing me away telling me to get into "nursing", & didn't teach me anything.. *sighs* Now its all lost to time.

    Absolutely inspiring Sam. Majority of the things you have gone through and do remind me so much of myself. I’ve watched your videos for a little over a year and I have been wanting to venture out into my own business, then I see this video and it hit the nail on the head. I applaud you, your work ethic, beliefs and aspirations. Keep on the great work.

    I love your story. I am an Electrical Contractor and mobile welding Contractor in Wyoming. I started with $ 486.00 and a half ton truck. All by myself and my reputation. Did Awsome for about five years and had lots of equipment, all paid for when I bought them. Anything to make more money, do more things, things no one else was doing. That started in 2012. In late 2016 I shut it all down sold everything bought a 5th wheel and went back on the road working industrial Electrical. Spent 4 years in Las Vegas, bought a house, lived comfortably. Missed the self employed life and the Wyoming life. So this last September I moved home and started the company back up and have been doing pretty well for another cold start. I can't sell anything for anyone else, but I can dam sure sell myself and my abilities, prove them and stand behind them. It's a lot of work and a lot of unknown and what ifs. But worth it all the way. Being a Master Electrician is no easy feet and neither is working for yourself. I'm in my 32 year as an electrician and still love what I do. Best of luck to you and keep it up.

    Absolutely what I love about this channel. You can tell the guys that are hustlers and the guys that are entitled. You are definitely the type of guy who works his ass off and doesn’t expect anything for nothing. Keep doing you and creating great content.

    Sam,
    I have two small boys. Whenever they step out of line or try to skip out on work I tell them there is only 4 words I want to hear out of their mouths: Hard Work And Respect. Its what makes the world go round and if you can't produce those two things, you dont deserve anything. Hard work and respect. The people that dog you in the comments generally don't do much of either so forget them.
    You're doing great. I love the channel. I've been watching you since you only had a few thousand subscribers. Thanks for having us along for the ride.

    I've always told my daughters "the only person you should worry about being proud of you is you". You are the only person that truly knows how hard you really tried. You don't have to become rich to be proud of yourself, you just have to know if your heart that your putting in all the effort you can to achieve YOUR success. The key is to not lie to yourself or make up excuses for yourself.
    When your truly proud of yourself nothing feels better and nobody can take that away from you.

    My car got totaled in an accident, and insurance won't pay, so I'm back on my bicycle to get to work. But my family is well fed, so now I'm just saving for that truck I always wanted. Right now I'm watching your video eating my ramen noodles with slices of red-onion and smoked wild hog. Not too long ago I remember it was just the ramen and no toppings, so things are definitely getting better. It just takes more time than you want.

    Great story. Respect to you and dad. I just started watching and I'm impressed with all the equipment for just a couple guys. That's my goal too. Always adding equipment and always staying with a small crew. In fact I was just at my storage yard realizing I own way too many trucks and trailers but I don't like to sell stuff off because they all serve a purpose at different points. Love that Diamond C you own. That's on my list. Keep working hard and laugh at the haters. Be well

They always tried to make me feel bad about my success and at the same time have their hand out wanting something.

    Thanks, for sharing your story with us . I love watching you all go into an over grown area and clean it up and make it look like a completely different place . And I am sure that, that makes you look at it and feel proud of what that you just accomplished there. You all do a great job doing what that you do, like painting a new landscape for the area . I have found out in life, that you need to be true to yourself and push forward to achieve what that you want and take pride in your work, going that extra mile to make it look amazing and make your customers feel proud of how that it looks . I will be looking forward for more videos and you all be careful and stay safe and making everything look great on your jobs.
    As always, Jeffrey !!!

    Once in a while you come across an authentic video like this from fellow entrepreneurs. Same feeling every time. Vindication for all the times people didn't believe in you, all the times someone told you to just get a job who didn't understand what you were doing. People who never stepped outside their comfort zone.
    You grind, work hard and do everything you can, because whats the alternative? How do people with one customer (their boss) think it's more risky to have hundreds of customers that could individually decide not to keep hiring you? Anyway good work man, you deserve everything you worked hard for.
