"If you're not 10 minutes early you're late". That was drilled into me as a kid and has stuck with me now into my late 30's. That and "if you don't know, ask someone", " whether you're the prime minister or a bus boy in a diner, take pride in your work and put in an honest day" are the main things I learned from my parents that have served me well through my career in the trades.

@OptimisteProductions 2 месяца назад

I'm the opposite. I have never ever been on time at work. But I also never arrived later than 10 min after it started. Once my boss confronted me about it. I told him that everyday I would be there half an hour later than the others but would take the time to clean off the tools and the job site properly for the others the next morning.

@@OptimisteProductionsI don't want you to take this the wrong way, or not take it at all rather. But i think that's a less than satisfactory excuse to sleep in a little. Why not do both? 15 minutes less sleep each night won't ruin you. Better yet find yourself in bed earlier. Set the alarm, put your phone down and go to sleep. Read yourself to sleep with something boring if need be. And always be on time, if nothing else but for the respect to your name that could be gained.

Dear Mr Wadsworth, my name is Alex and I wanted to say thank you for your encouraging and inspiring words and videos. I am 43 years old and I have two jobs. I do carpentry and light construction and I am a firefighter. I find myself taking words from your videos and using them to be better, in both of my professions. Just a few day ago I had an interview for a promotion and I used a few of your inspiring words to answer a few of the questions I was asked in said interview I'm proud to tell you after 13 years of being a firefighter and 9 years of grinding and staying hungry and taking promotional exams I am the newest Lieutenant on the fire department that I work for. Thank you again Mr Wadsworth for your inspiring videos "and keep up the good work"

Just started carpentry 2 months ago. I realized I am a talker. I didn’t really have friends in high school and kept to myself. Then my coworker just happens to have a passion in my interest. Instead of remembering that we are at work, I get too excited to talk about what I never get to talk about and it really puts a strain on both mine and his efficiency. Knowing to shut up and keep the conversations to a minimum is really important. I have been working on this for the past two weeks and can already see that I am much more productive.

So very true! I worked as a general manager for a company. During my time there no one ever saw the owner. All the clients I had contact with assumed that I owned the company, not because I acted like a big shot but because I took ownership of everything that needed to be done and made sure it was done right the first time.

I am 41 and back during covid I was terminated from a job and corporate career that I had worked in for more than 15 years. Over 15 years I began to resent my decision to get a cush office job. I decided to turn the termination into an opportunity to go into the trades. 4 years later I'm a successful roofing contractor who is very gratified in my work. I appreciate the old school man of integrity way you conduct yourself and teach others to be. If I can reflect you when I am your age, I will be very pleased.

As a laborer who became a superintendent through concrete forming, and a person who knows of Jeffery R Holland, but no longer lives by his counsel per se, don't discount someone's knowledge because of their word choice. Some of the most valuable knowledge I have found comes from foul mouths as well as sanctified. Some of it came from people who barely knew English. Some of it came without words at all. Keep an open mind. A fellow RU-vidr and man that sang your praises called AvE put me onto you. Both of you have added to my toolbox with much different lexicons. His famous quote about you beyond calling you a silver haired fox with a wealth of hard earned knowledge is, "he wouldn't say shit if he had a mouth full of it."

@gtbkts 3 месяца назад

My Pa could never say a single sentence without cursing somewhere. But, he is a never ending wealth of knowledge from complete house building to vehicles and heavy equipment. He just can't help but swear in every breath he takes. Heck, I'm barely able to keep myself from swearing alot because I got the habit from him. Thank God my mom taught me when it's ok to swear and when you need to be respectful and speak smartly. Sorry for rambling. Have a great day!

@216Numbskull Месяц назад

@perrymaxwell4488, No bout a doubt it my friend. I heard it, seen it & know all to well about harsh & stern loud foul mouth voices in the trades being a journeyman Ironworker for the past 24 years. There was still so much for me to learn on job sites from the OG's even after I completed my apprenticeship & now a journeyman. Who I'm still very grateful for all their knowledgeable lessons in the trade & life lessons by helping me grow up in general as a man. I also believe some they gave me most likely kept me & others alive at least a few times. Not to mention being a loud foul mouthed with tough skin & a noggin that's a little coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs comes with the territory in Ironworker's. Sure we have to stay cool, calm & focused when we're walking & swinging on beams 50 stories high in the sky. But we also have to be very loud & stern & foul mouthed at times in order to get our point across. Whether some may think it's the wrong way to approach a situation or not, it just is what it is & needed in our trade. You can't approach Ironworker's by quietly coddling them or telling them it'll be OK just don't do it again in certain situations. That's when people get hurt if you try some BS like that in our trade. As they say there's a time & a place for everything. Many times I'll take an apprentice aside so not to embarrass him or save an argument & fight from happening. But, when we're are up in the air high in the sky you have to use tough love for everyone's health & safety. Just keeping it a buck! +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘

Planned on retiring in May but they talked me into staying another year to finish the 6 projects currently started. CEO said he was worried about "replacing the knowledge". Made me proud and the result of the years we have put in to learn our trades. Fitting with your wisdom for the young. Keep up the good work.

@kansasscout4322 28 дней назад

Excellent advice. I'm a retired laborer, then Carpenter then Supt then PM. Communication is key. Poor communicators are always held back. Always. Or they don't last long. Problem solving ability should have been mentioned. Its an attitude where you never throw up your hands but move forward dealing with things as they are and to put the train back on the track or even improve where things are going ok. Keeping emotional control is another one you should add. I had a few significant failures there that I wince about still. A calm mind and controlled emotions are key. Thanks for the post. Old school is still the best school.

Good points to keep at the forefront of our minds. It's a good daily exercise.

Profanity-particularly the “F” bomb- used to be rare. Growing up, IF I heard someone around cuss, I knew they had reached their limits of frustration. In 1998 I moved to Columbus OH and landed my first real job in a truck shop. I quickly realized that some people were dropping the f bomb so often, that if they dropped that one particular word from their vocabulary, they could communicate in half the words. Needless to say, I purposed to not communicate that way, and I’ve made sure my boys know that it’s not professional to act that way. Awesome advice. Love the channel 🙌🏻

@robertwazniak9495 3 месяца назад

67 years in construction and construction management as an engineer. Everything you said is spot on. On profanity... there is a time and place for it. The problem is it is used so often that it is ineffective. If I used it once a year it was a lot, but when I used it, people sat up and took notice. Using the correct tool for the job is just as important in language as in fabrication. My daughter is becoming a welder and I tried to instill this in her... just because everyone else does it... if you do it, make it effective and not just a waste of breath. Teaching others is the best way to discover how much you don't know. Some people teach by repeating the same words louder. If you can't explain your job to a kindergarten kid, a high schooler, an apprentice, your wife, and a seminar of professionals and get your point across, you need to learn more of what you are speaking on.

Owning mistakes is big. My father once told me he has never seen anyone get fired when they come to their foreman admitting a mistake and asking how they should fix it. It’s only when you try to hide your mistakes you really get in trouble or fired. His words have held true in my working years.

“…take responsibility for your actions…” Many years ago I made a huge mistake on a job. Upon discovering the issue I went back to fix it. When the owner asked what happened I responded “I screwed up.” He paused for so long I thought he was going to explode all over me. He finally took a deep breath and said “Them’s 3 of the hardest words to say. Is everything alright now?” I said, with considerable relief “Yes Sir.” He replied “Good let’s sit down and talk about what’s next.” Please add “Sage” to your resume. Pray maintain speed and course.
