You are NOT alone dude! You are doing the best you can. Life is hard and you only live it once. Make the most of it and the down turns are just lifes lessons. Wake up each morning and look at the sunrise, life is beautiful my friend!
I found your channel last week when looking for mt100 content, subbed and have been watching lot of your stuff. Stumbled across this one and your original vent video. Just remember, buisness and work is just that, at the end of the day you can always drop it all, and live simpler. I was in buisness a few years ago, way to stressed out, lost 3x the money on a single job as you did. Paid the billed, moved on and dropped the stress. Nothing is more important than your family and mental health. Quiting or slowing down on business is way better than quitting on life. Keep up the good work and keep the good headspace!
I’m proud of you and think it is amazing that your are sharing your vulnerability with everybody. I love you bro, there’s always good days and bad, appreciate the good days and people who are there for you ❤️❤️
Keep your head up my Man! You hit the nail on the head!! It takes a bigger man to make these videos and work through it! A man dosent leave his wife to raise 2 kids! We need more men like you that are going to raise their kids to be strong men like yourself! You have grown so much since you first started with your little skipy. You have a lot of people rooting for you. Keep pushing buddy!
James, new follower here. Nearly 21 year retired AF Vet. I've never struggled with mental health to a point of suicidal thoughts/ifeation, but I've been a person who many others have seen as a safe dude to open up to. I say that because one of these days, I may need someone to be my shoulder to cry on. I recently lost my job and I'm grateful to have retirement, disability and mu wife's income...so we're stable. However, I'm stressed that I'm supposed to be the provider. I'm contemplating becoming my own boss through entrepreneurship similar to you and many others...but all of this is a lot to take in and stressful...especially the idea of taking on debt to make it happen. To be clear...I'm not now nor have I ever been suicidal...but stressed. Talking openly is how we keep from getting to that point! I've stayed stoic and strong through this time, but even typing this, I've gotten choked up. I think more than anything, I need to feel puposeful and valued in life. I have 2 master's degrees, but no one seems to care. I guess it's Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs...
Miss you guys coming in the store ❤️. Thank you for being a vulnerable, thank you for putting positivity into men sharing their struggles. Instead of putting on a front of "being strong" everyone has emotions and its ok to share them and its ok to struggle. You and Morgan are amazing! ❤️
You are not alone bro….. I’m going through the same shit!!!!! Running a business is not easy. You are the reason why I got a mt100 and svl97 and started doing this. Keep it up!!!!!! Please don’t give up!!!!
From one man to another I love you. Keep battling your demons so you'll be able to go home to your loving family everyday. They need you to be strong and they will help you up when you fall down.
May God bless you, life is hard. Being a man is standing up to the challenges its what makes us men. I’m a struggling contractor and don’t even know if I can cover the mortgage this month, but giving up is the easy way. Us humans need humans to support each other. You have a wonderful family it’s not manly to give up on them. You are valued and loved even if you don’t see or feel it. I’ll keep you in my prayers James. You have helped me so much with contracting and I hope one day to have a mini skid. If you would like to reach out to vent then I would love that, don’t be selfish and quit, your wife and children deserve better. I’ll be here for you
your a kick ass dude. ups and downs are for real. Keep on going because it's what has to be done. I got slapped up and down this week. Rain, broken down dump truck towed, 2 jobs completely fucked and money draining out of the acct. Fuck. But warm months ahead.
We’re all in this together. Keep your head up keep pushing keep working keep talking keep hanging with your family and things will get better..❤ oh yeah, you’re the reason I bought an MT 100/a mud mixer/a chore warrior wheelbarrow shit I even bought that vibe plate.😂😂
My dad always said you don’t have to look very far to find someone worse off. We all have problems, like you said. But few have the balls to talk about it. Kudos to you for being brutally honest about it. I’ve been following you guys forever, you have a purpose James! Hang tough and we’ll all get through this together. 🤙🏼🇺🇸
I feel this video. We all have our own struggles but you never know what someone else is going through. Without going into too much detail my dad, my best friend whom I talked to every single day on my commute to and from work decided after our last call to hang up the phone and end his life. No signs, no stress in his voice, no letter or I love you…no closure. Our last conversation ended with “hey I gotta jump off here…okay I’ll touch base later” like thousands of our previous conversations ended. Just when you think you couldn’t possibly miss something like this, you realize you never know what’s in someone else’s head.
@@JamesMoVlogs I’ve been down that rabbit hole, the difference is I thought I was weak and I should be more like him…what keeps me from going back there is knowing it will hurt those that love me more than it will if I carry my burdens. We carry a heavier burden than our family can ever imagine because it’s our duty to carry it for them. God gave you broad shoulders for a reason.
We just lost 4k on a job we subbed from a general contractor. We’re still fighting to get some of that recouped. Then my 550 broke down, then work dried up. I can’t begin to tell you how low I’ve felt the last 3 months. It’s been one thing piling up after another. I’m so thankful I’m not the only one dealing with this. Sometimes I wonder if owning this business is worth all the stress. 9 punches in the face for one positive. That’s how it’s been. Keep on keeping on.
When people are addicted to drugs, alcohol, money, whatever it may be, they cannot enjoy the moment. Everyone's working for that first beer when they get off, that next cigarette break, or the next high. All the anxiety and burden or wieght on your shoulders doesn't allow them to enjoy the moment. Release the addition (to whatever it may be) and enjoy life. Being content and present in the moment brings the happiness everyone deserves.
Completely understand mate The only thing that stoped me was my doctor said that my children would be visiting him for the rest of their lives to sort through the mess I left behind for them. It's hard to even consider the people you love the most when you feel this way but you must for them Love you mate You will get through You don't have any choice we need you. Even here in Australia😁 🇦🇺👍
Man I tell you what,you're testimony is POWERFUL! I came across this video looking for grill gazebos and figured I'd see what else you had going on. I actually thought you were a cop because of the shepards. Whenever you feel like you're in that head space,just pray. Tell the lord you need him and ask that he guides your life. You're family needs you,the world needs you. Please don't ever take yourself away from what has been givin to you. You're their world. I appreciate your strength in telling your story. God bless,stay strong.
As another man who prides himself as a provider for his family… the struggle is around every corner. For generations men were taught don’t show emotion it’s a sign of weakness or whatever. Times are changing brother. It takes men like you and I to share our story so that others see they aren’t alone. I’ve witnessed the effects of countless suicides, overdoses and self harm. The trauma left behind is real. Seek help and talk with others, you’ll be surprised at what you can learn. FF/Medic for 15 yrs - struggling with PTSD, alcoholism, thoughts of inadequacy and judgement of others. One day another brother told me “life doesn’t have to be this way”. I immediately found a councilor, made a decision to find the positive in everything, kindness to all and most importantly rebuilding my relationship with God. This journey is just beginning, and I’m all in!
I’m proud that you’re being open about this! Please find you a good Bible teaching church and find a relationship with the Lord! He’s the one that keeps me planted.
going on my 3rd son Mid May... I'm so burnt on my business no motivation (landscaping) lost a lot of work just due to stress almost like I'm brain fried due to no drug use btw maybe cause it was all work no fun.... i have toys but it was all work no play at all my wife will never understand.... I was was going so good now I just have the FUCK ITS/FUCK YOU ATTITUDE $ Prices are whack Best of Luck
Losing money on a job sucks. That’s why it’s critical we add a bit on top so it can’t ruin our life. Better we don’t land some of them. I fast most days but some small healthy is good during some of those. It hurts the first few times, but it becomes easy after a while. Before eating, I have to make it to the gym, do about 100 flights and some strength before I can eat. Meal prepping has been helpful. I do believe in God and I noticed the harder I work and work out the luckier I get in business. Remember, no one‘s force-feeding you anything and you can change your diet today.
Stop work, get help, get better then come back or try something different in life that might make you happy. Keep fighting your family need you, but you need to get well first.
@@JamesMoVlogs I hear you I’m the same. Went through some tough shit with my x family but got through it. I stopped taking on stressful work that helped me. Had a lot of time off too.
Dude I was molested as an 8year old little boy. I carried that for fifty years and I had so many people fooled that I had it all together, great family, good job and even went to church and taught Sunday school. But in 2017 I literally collapsed on my bedroom floor. With no where to turn I finally cried out to God to take this from me and he did in instant it was gone. I wish I had gotten help earlier but kept it inside. Now I help people that had the same kind of trauma that I went through. You need Jesus not religion but Jesus, he’s the only one that can set you free. Health professionals only treat the symptoms but Jesus gets to the heart of the problem. Please seek out a good Bible believing pastor to walk you through this. I’ve tried everything you’re talking about none of that works only God helps and he’s waiting for you to cry out to him. We have free will that’s why God doesn’t impose himself on us but he’s waiting for you to ask him for help.
At least you have Morgan, I have a bitch. Im totally disabled and I have thought many times to do it. My wife probably wouldn't even care. You have a wonderful wife and kids, that need you. Get help like your mom said. I lost my whole company because I got ill, have zero money and I eait to see your videos. They keep me going. Please brother, we all love you.
I’m so sorry for you. You should realize that you have valuable skills in running this business. Stay with it. Not too many people want to work and enjoy working. I am in the construction business and have always been self employed. I got screwed by 2 of my brothers if not 3 when my mother died because they thought I had too much money. I play a lot of pickleball because where I live it is super social, I lift and I ski. I have zero good friends now and no brothers. My good friends drank too much or still do, died from accidents or disease. I have had terrible luck with friends. Shit, my for,we best friend turned into a liberal and became gay and thinks antifa is actually anti fascist. No matter how tough life is never give up. Never spend more than you have, in my opinion the market is about to crash so you need to prepare for that. Sell anything you don’t need, use often. You’ll be able to pick up anything you sold cheap sooner than you think. If you have mastered your skills learn another trade that will still be needed in a bad economy. You’re awesome and I’m going to watch some of your videos I’m interested in…..the trailer video and the m100 video.
