Thanks for sharing Dave. You look like an old western outlaw in your black hat sitting in front of the fire. Looking after the financial well being of your family is not ruining them. It show how much you love and care about them.
I'm changing my channel name to "Black Bart." I appreciate your comment - I truly feel like I am not ruining my kids, but wanted to address the subject.
Thanks Brian! I wanted to give an honest answer and give people some things to think about. I also wanted people to know it took me 33 years to get to the sale in 2019 and then another 5 years to become the guy on camera. I am most frustrated by people who aren't happy AND watch 20-40 hours of TV/Movies/YT/Sports a week and then through out the "I can't get ahead in life." That gap is what I am trying to close for people who are willing to listen and learn.

The first step is the most difficult.

You’re very welcome, my friend! That’s a very good bit of advice and that comes across clearly in your video! It’s clear that you’ve worked very hard to get where you’re at, and you’re a good example for all of us! Keep up the great work and the great videos!
You had the knowledge, the gumption, dedication, the right people, connections. You deserve all you got. With the knowledge for investing you can go on comfortably. Too many slackers out there. I retired from the p.o. after delivering mail for 37 yrs. A monkey could do that job. But I settled. I was happy to stay at that level. I could have invested better but my gumption level is low. Happy where I am though. I don’t need much. No kids. No legacy. Thanks for telling your story. The American dream, or what it used to be. Should be. 👍😃☀️🌵
Thanks Mike. The key is your sentence ""Happy where I am ..." that is the most important part of where you are and the decisions that got you there. That is such good Self Awareness - kind of rare these days.
I was 1 years old when you started your company mate 😂 goes to show, hard work pays off! 💪👊 smashed it! I think having a number of high trust people around you is priceless, though. Very interesting to listen to you. I feel chats like this are great for my own personal development and learning, so thank you.

@@PiperDave2023 Yeah. It's a lengthy process! People don't realise the time and effort put in. Let alone the sacrifice of free time and family time to make it happen.

I don't know you but this felt very honest and humble. And you dropped some incredibly valuable information on us for free. All of that rolled into one I think is a rare ocurrence. So, you had my full attention. Thank you for sharing some wisdom. Loved that you also gave glory to God. I'm happy for your success. Subbed!

Hey Mike - yes! I was glad to get of the big treadmill of life at 54. Barely dodged the Covid bullet shutting everything down and causing huge re-evaluations of businesses and their worth. I too love my life after "the career phase." Glad you got out, glad you listened to your body - smart!

Evening Dave, it was quite nice of you to share your background and life's work and the success you have had with this community. It certinaly, in my view unnecessary, however, very consisderate and respectful of yourself to do so. And you said a very key component of your success was God's timing and plan for yourself. I have been blessed also and attribute it all to Gods plan and blessing for the success I have enjoyed. And you are absolutly right for yourself it took 12-14 hour days 6+ days a week and the same was true for myself, no one gave it to either of us. And that is so important for people to understand espeically in this age of intitlement. So enjoy your success you have earned and may God continue to Bless you and your Family. Take Care
Thank You! I wanted to give an honest answer to the question, make sure people understand it took me 33 years to get to my 2019 sale and another 5 years to get here!

It’s always fascinating the fingerprint stuff , I have watched several videos on the hand that was fingerprinted to catch that mob guy that was pretending to be crazy while running the mob, it’s surreal that you were a part of catching him ! Well deserved accomplishments for a great man and that is you Dave ! Well done my friend

Hi Dave! Thanks for the great video! A lot of lessons there! I never have been able to watch sports on TV. Too ADD to sit and watch TV of any type without doing something else. Thank you buddy :)

I'll be sharing this, that's for sure! Yep, sports and the Colosseum was a large part of Romes' fall. Easy times that strong men create destroys eventually. Everything moves in cycles, especially when humans won't learn from history. Love this video! 😊😊😊😊
Hey Thanks Greg - that means a lot! I am most concerned that so many people are not happy where they are AND watch hours and hours of TV/Movies/YT/Sports wondering why they can't get ahead. It's that gap I would like to close the most with vids like this one.

Okay, I've been thinking that maybe you have looked familiar to me. Did you do much work out on the Hanford res. during the decommissioning of some of the reactors? I was a thermal dynamics engineer and insulator asbestos Rad worker for 10 years during the demolition of the K reactors, N, pfp, and so on? Did we work together or on the same projects?
@@PiperDave2023 ok sorry you looked familiar to me ty. Grate story btw. My story coming out of working with the dept. of energy was not as good as yours by any means lol .. js lol

Mainly Information Technology - system modernization, system automation, system and user support - stuff like that. Keep asking questions - I like talking about it. Just did not want to bore the crap out of everyone.
@@PiperDave2023, that is outstanding!!! I am always curious about the services or products that entrepreneurs provide in hope that it would ignite the “light bulb” in me for an idea. I have a business degree and my MBA. I read everything I can get my hands on regarding entrepreneurship, and I want to own my own business very badly, but I can't seem to find that one thing that I could be passionate about. I pray for that idea to come to me, along with the ability to do it in a way that pleases GOD, and also positions me to help those that HE needs me to help.
You dont need to talk about the money but I guess that you have some when I see your tobacco collection 😂. Good speed to you and enjoy the time put in your good job decisions
Be most people's standards I have A LOT of money. I wanted to give an honest answer and give people some things to think about. I also wanted people to know it took me 33 years to get to the sale in 2019 and then another 5 years to become the guy on camera.
