Thank you for all of the positive comments and understanding how busy John truly is. On top of this crazy shop he never misses a soccer practice or game. He also had our 3 year old at work with him one day this week, helped with school pick ups while one of our vehicles was at the dealership, managed to give a few kids a bath one night, and even put up a new dinosaur light fixture. I promise you the awesome person you see in videos is who he is 24/7 in “real life”.

Money is awesome. It pays for lessons and equipment but doesn’t substitute for dad being there

I’ve been watching for a long time and could tell he was a genuine dude from the first video. A man can be a lot of things, but the most important is a good Father! Wish nothing but good things for you all and will continue to enjoy the content whenever he’s able to put it out! 👍🏼

Ooops, think I accidentally deleted my message,. Great to hear from Mrs. Maxwell. Owning a business can be a giant time suck. That is awesome to heart that he still makes time for family. It is also nice to hear of your kind supportive words. Having a supportive spouse makes all the difference. Been watching John for quite some time and am delighted to see his (and your) success. We miss his vids on youtube.

This needs a "love" button. *quits career and offers to be parts slave for Maxwells* Thanks for the video work, Mr. Dan

Just happy to see your shop is busy.

John, really good to see that the business is taking off. That office manager will be a great addition. I so remember those days of late nights and always behind. Keep up the great work and I know the video's get in the way but thanks.

Oh boy!!!!! You definitely need a parts manager... Nice to see you coming back!!

Cheers from the first Maxwells Motorcycles hoodie in Canada. I knew it when u announced your shop. Dirty thumbs up from this small motorcycle shop in Manitoba. Excellent work John

Awesome video, brother. A day in the life of John Maxwell , The Highly Trained Unprofessional!

Definitely miss the videos but I'm even more excited that business is booming 🤙🏼

Gregg is a freakin' beast , man . Glad you found him. And great to see that you still have your magic touch ... Re: turn signal right rear. Don't be too hard on yourself. It takes time for shop processes to settle. I think you are doing fun-fuckin'-tastic!!! Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for making the effort.

Great to see you back in front of the camera.

Brother, you honestly and truly need a parts "person" and someone to take care of the office "stuff". Really great to see some videos again. (Thanks Dan)

The dog was the hidden star of the video. Everybody loves little wiener doggo's. Now all you need is a camera person capturing all the stuff you do all day, every day, and that could be content for your videos.

Thanks for the video John. Glad the business is doing so well. Now, you certainly need a Parts Manager and an Office Manager.

Brother miss your videos, but knowing your out there livin the dream and making happen is just awesome. Best of luck and kick ass

Great job john. Alot of long hours that most people never see. It takes a lot to run your own place. You have to love what your doing to be successful and you do.

It sucks not seeing your videos more often but to me it’s awesome seeing your dream come true and seeing it looking successful is a cool site . As a long time viewer of your channel it’s awesome seeing you happy and busy

Love the sign at 14:12 😂

Really pleased your business is bringing in so many customers. Love n best wishes to you n your family from England.U.K

Running your own business is not easy. I had a gunsmith shop for several years and know the difficulties of being a one man shop. The number one problem is being able to find people that are able to actually do things without babysitting. It will come together. Office manager is important! That way you can do what YOU need to do!

I miss the frequency of your videos but I'm more happy to see your shop being so successful! Once a week, once a month, once a year.... However often you are able to post I will always watch!

I feel your pain. I'm retired now. At least your customers come to you for the most part. Good luck. Mike from Maryland

Amazing man glad everything is going great

Being that busy is a good thing. You will be building one hell of a business along the way through your struggles. I’m happy for you. 👍

The work levels are like the tide, up and down. It's the beginning of riding season so everyone is waiting till the last minute and dropping their bikes off for service. Jon has been a mechanic for a while and should already have an idea of his trade's work cycle. It will take a couple seasons before he knows exactly what to expect from his shop. If it was me I would try to hire a part-time mechanic or possibly have a guy come in as a subcontractor until the rush is over. Full-time employees are a huge expense and hiring one should be carefully considered.

Great to see you busy man!

Congratulations on your shop being busy and successful. Thanks to @GearsandGadgets for the help with your videos. That is very cool of him

Great to see a new video from you. Excellent.

Hell yeah! Glad you’re staying busy!

It is really nice too see you are doing well and that your business is thriving. Great to see you back !

Glad to see some videos again keep up the good work and the new shop busy

Great to see business booming for you. I enjoyed the tour of your shop last year! Thanks for entertaining me for that hour!

Dude keep the videos going like that. So cool to see how busy you are! Keep it up 🤘

Great to see another episode JM.

Keep up the good work bro. That work ethic is bang on! Rewards will follow dude. Great to see the shop in full swing! 👌🏾

I love seeing how well your shop is doing!

Nice video John! Good to see what is going on there. Best of luck dude.

And that is why I never went into a business of my own even though we thought about it many times. It tends to own you. Glad to see you are doing well and business is going strong. Best of everything man.

Great to see the biz is booming John

Good video John, glad to see you keeping busy 😊

Man, i am so happy for you! Glad to see you busy! Keep doing the good job!!!!

I do miss the regular videos but I am completely okay with this. You are busy and that is the most important thing.

Great to see you doing so well!! I know your working your tail off, remember we had this convo a year ago June when you opened. Keep up the great work and we will see you again in June.

Real glad to see your success. hard work is what it takes, wish more people understood that.

I’m very happy that your business is booming! Congratulations, John!

Hey man the most important thing is that you are providing for your family.

Work work :) Happy to see your gradual success and occasional vids!

You really gave us a feel for “a day in the life”. Kudos to whoever is behind the camera. Several years ago my son started a landscaping business and I did the office work including payroll, bills, advertising, accounting, state and federal taxes, etc. it took about 20 hours per week. Happy I was when he decided he preferred working on mowers and works as a mechanic for a dealer.

Glad you are busy ! It’s cool to see how things run there when you have the time these videos are great!

John you look so busy. I am glad your business is doing well! Hopefully you can hire some more people soon! Good for you! We are all rooting for your success!

It's good to be busy. Good to see you are doing well

It's great to see you doing so well! Wishing you much success...

Good to see you again

congrats man... I enjoy watching your success, its inspirational

Glad to see you back putting out vids. Just got back on a Harley and found your older videos, awesome job on them.

John you are a total beast sir! I think we can all agree that even if we don see your videos as often, we love the fact that your business is crazy busy and we'd all love to travel and get our bikes serviced by you

Missed seeing new videos. Great to see this one. But awesome to see that you are busy, the shop is doing well. Life is good!

This was an awesome video as it shows, at least a little bit, of what's involved in running a bike shop. The wrenching seems to be the smallest part with so many other things taking up time. Thanks for taking the time to make this one, much appreciated. Don't forget to make time at least once a month and go for a ride to clear the head...all the best rsm8

Great insight into your day.. is what is it, we all miss your videos I guess they don't pay the bills.. keep grinding!

This was an awesome view into your everyday schedule at work you have put out!! Love seeing the progress and the growth of your shop!! Maybe here soon youll be in the market for a shop manager so you can sit back and relax a bit! Fingers crossed And sending all the blessings your way!

Glad to see your shop is doing so well John Congrats

Happy to see the progress that you've made and yes miss seeing more videos, but you be busy as hades.

Glad to see you doing so well.

Dude I totally miss your videos but understand!! Glad your business is kicking ass! Best of luck to you and your family!!👊

It's GREAT to see you are doing well at the Biz. I always enjoy the videos.

I’ve enjoyed your channel, always something worth my time to watch. It was a big leap opening your own shop and I admire you for that,so glad for you it’s going well.

Glad you’re so busy man, and hope you stay that way. My Dad always used to say, “you have no idea what hard work is until you work for yourself.”

Glad to see you back on you tube John.

Be THANKFUL your business is prospering, be THANKFUL you have a happy healthy family to to home to and spend time with, and enjoy the journey brother - it’s all good!

Cool video, man you’re busy, bet when you had the idea of going out on your own you didn’t think there was sooooooo much to it and that you would be so busy! Great to see how you’re getting on!

Much respect. Being both the boss and an employee makes being a small business owner's day loooooong. Glad to see you can still end the day with a smile.

You got one hellava good camera man there John, good job Dan 💯👊🏼😎

Dont feel guilty for not posting lately. It’s awesome to see you busy and having success. I would rather know you doing well with no videos, rather than the other way around. May many more years of good business come your way.

This was awesome though! I’d love to see more of these. Just general our day in the shop type stuff. A lot like the old tv shows but without all the drama 🙂

Love to see the progress you’ve made. Once you get staffing up you’ll be much happier.

Never shy of wat u do... N progress.. So far u are working it already in progress. Really happy n best wishes for ur personal best. N thank for helping all the motorcycle rides. Keep it up.

Really pleased you are busy John you seem to have everything in order👍😎

Salute bro! Keep pushing! 💪🏽

Glad to see the success! Running your own biz isn't easy (I should know!) Looks like you could benefit from a good service writer and parts guy! Get a good backend shop management system and that will save you TONS of headaches too.

Nice to see a new vid from you 🙏. Living life in the fast lane, I hope you will get the time to relax and down a few brewskis and enjoy life now and then.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing the shop life! I’ve thought about starting my own but I would be missing too much of the wrenching that I love.

Keep plugging away, glad to see you have lots of customers!

👍😎✌️ thanks John & crew 😊 stay friends

Enjoyed you videos John. Congrats on your successful business!

Good to see new videos when we can. We’ll be here waiting.

John, just wanted to take a second and say Thanks for being you, it's nice to know honesty and integrity are alive and well in your shop . Keep up the great work and roll on Brother !

glad to see a new video, i had almost giving up. you and shadtree are my fav youtubers

Glad you made video....makes me realize how much I enjoy being retired.

quality video man. I'm glad to see people supporting their local Indy shop. I can do most my own work but I have a local shop I pay to do it unless he is too busy or it's a job he just doesn't tackle.

Great to see another video from you! Congrats on your very successful(albeit exhausting) business! Time to hire someone who can do inventory and sign in all of the deliveries, help you move bikes and general office stuff! Congrats John!

JOHN! Good for you buddy! I can see the stress on your face but it’s a good stress. Wish nothin but good things for you.

Glad all is well. Was worried. Glad your business is thriving.

Your humbling way have made you a successful person. Way to go man

Glad to see you are busy John

Focus on getting that business up and going. KZread can wait. You know most of us will always be here. I've seen your videos whenever you post them keep up the great work super glad that your business is staying super busy!! You're awesome!

Proud of you John!

Amazing how busy you've become and how your business has grown in such a short time. I know there is good and bad with that, but good on you J.
