My new business failed... What I've been hiding | Home vlog

Ойын-сауық

I was on the path to creating something so exciting for my life that would bring more dimension to my reselling business and it fell apart DAYS before the deal was finalized. I can now get this off my chest and move on after holding back so much for months. It was decided to keep it quiet early on to protect the other party and I respected that, but here I am months later with nothing to show for it except a learning experience.
As disappointing this process ended, I'm still optimistic and looking forward, so let's see what's next!

    I hope to see you on KZread again soon. You have a wonderful personality and know a heck of a lot about vintage and antiques. There isn’t anyone else who entertains like you. Remember this isn’t a failure, it’s get getting experience. DO NOT let things drag you down. I agree with mental breaks and reflections. But use your uniqueness and stand tall, enjoy yourself along the way. You will come back even stronger than anytime before. Lots of people believe in you and want you in their lives to be able to grin or giggle and push all the other crap to the back of the line and keep on trucking.

I am proud of you and I have followed your path from the beginning. You are an inspiration . And to be honest about the things that don't work out is a quality of a really good human being. Thank you for being a good roll model not only in business but also in life.

    You are great at keeping a secret. I was amazed to see all those empty shelves. An antique mall (if that is what you were pursuing) would definitely tie you down. That big unexpected $175,000 price tag makes me suspect a building in dire need of repair. With material costs at record highs and the economy getting more sour every day, I suspect this is a blessing in disguise. I admire your entrepreneurial spirit.

When I sold my flower shop it was bought by two partners. They didn’t see eye to eye. They lasted one year. I carried the loan. Ended up paying three months lease on a empty shop. Expensive lesson and just about sent me into a breakdown. Stay independent! You’ve got all you need to do very well on your own. With admiration, Katherine ♥️🐩

    Jeffrey - I've always been impressed by your business knowledge & practicality. (Not every business owner can explain COGS as casually as you did.) Setbacks & detours can be so frustrating & I hope you give yourself time to reorient. That said, having something fall apart BEFORE you invest 6 digits sounds like a close call rather than a failure. Remember, when the universe closes a door, just open it again. That's how doors work.

    I remember when you first bought the building, it was so exciting to see what it would become. Just like you I had gotten my own shop around the same time you did but to be on the safe side I kept my space at the antique mall in case my business fail. I tell you, it's hard doing all the shopping and trying to run a store. Many times I wish I had a business partner or an employee to at least run the register while I'm out shopping for inventory. I'm also getting ready to do an ebay store. I'm thinking about going online all the way, keeping my booth at the antique mall and using my shop as a warehouse / shipping station. Ahhh decisions...decisions. YOU ARE SMART FOR KEEPING YOUR BUILDING AND NOT SELLING IT. You have a lot of OPTIONS AND POTENTIAL you can do with very minimal cost.

Trust that you are heading in the right direction. Buying a property is a really a big deal. You put a new roof and painted it. Not everyone that is reselling have a property to store and work in. I have to say I really Love your videos. You are naturally a very funny guy. I wish you a speedy bounce back. Having the freedom to do what makes you happy and working in your own time zone is priceless. Being tied up is no fun. I wish happiness and time to share it.

Learn from the down times and build yourself up better for having at least tried. And, there’s more than likely a better opportunity at a better time. It sounds like a smart business decision may have been made. My favorite quote, “keep looking out the windshield and only take a passing glance at the rear view mirror.”

The hundreds of hours spent in thought and absorbed in details. I can’t imagine what you went through. And you handled it so admirably. So happy you kept on with your sales and other content. You have so many people rooting for your continued success.

    Hello Jeffery: I’m truly sorry about your business situation didn’t work out. I could actually see you were dealing with something in your past few videos. I’ve always had a feeling when someone is going through something. It shows in your eyes. You are so enjoyable to watch. And have very good taste. You are unique on your own. This is a blessing in disguise. It stopped before you went through it all the way! You can continue with what you like doing or remake your self and head to another direction. I can see your hurting. Your fans will never leave you! And you showed class not mentioning the other parties name. (Shows you have great character. )Take care. Get yourself some time to think and relax. When one door closes another one will open my friend.

    Jeffrey, don't be discouraged. Don't look at this as a failure, but an opportunity to grow where you are now. I have recently started an artificial floral design business and am selling at a couple of our local flea markets. Business is slow right now and some weekends I really feel like I am a failure at this too. I was even beginning to think that maybe my work wasn't good enough. But then I have recently been asked to help design a couple of wreaths for a upcoming wedding by one customer. I have also been honored enough to be asked to design a full casket spray for one customer for her Mom's funeral using artificial florals. This is my first one, but I knew I was able to do it. When I asked her what she wanted, she told me her Mom's favorite flowers. She then said that she had confidence in me and my work and that whatever I did for her Mom would be beautiful because all my work was so beautiful. That made my day to hear her say that. So even though we all get discouraged from time to time, friends and acquaintances know us and what we can accomplish. I know everything will work out for you and will be even better than you even imagined. Keep going forward. I have confidence in you as well. Betty

    Heartfelt video and I can appreciate where you're coming from. That said, you are not back at square one. The experience you've had has prepared you for the next opportunity. From the sound of it, you have been exposed to a reality that you didn't picture previously. When the next opportunity presents itself, you'll have much more knowledgeable questions. You'll have a much better idea what the pitfalls may be. You're going to be better at making sure the next opportunity works for you than ever before. Despite the disappointment, you're WAY further down the road than you were...and that's not square one.
