I know it seems like I fell off the face of the earth, but thanks to Dan from Gears and gadgets / gearsgadgets I can showcase what I have been dealing with for the last year.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
