I get it!

Great video - what did you record with? Nice quality

Thats the hardest thing when you have kids AND you're the primary parent. Getting into a state of flow. It is hard work being an entrepreneur and a parent at the same time. Feels nice to find someone who's going through the same lonely path... feels a tiny bit less lonely lol

PS. KZbin Removed My PS Comment so I’ve retyped! 🤯🙄 I hate the fact that there’s Still a Stigma about mental health for anyone! Medicine & Technology have evolved in 2024, Ignorance - Not so much!! I can’t begin to tell You how much is wrong with Alex’s ridiculous damaging post, He should think before He speaks or writes/types!! Mental Health is real, can happen to anyone, at any time!! I will ask Jonny if He’s seen this on Twitter, He says what He thinks, no nonsense, with plenty of empathy for mental health! Alex should Be Kind, Costs Nothing, Yet Means Everything! 💛 Thanks again. ♥️

Bloody well said John!! 🤯 Thank You! Everyone should watch this! Alex’s ridiculous post wound me up!! There’s Millions of people with mental health illnesses or issues which are no-one’s fault, many illnesses & life events cause mental health illnesses!! A Good Friend of mine, Actor & Veteran Jonathan (Jonny) from Soldier’s Arts Academy works with Veterans & their Families, providing support for PTSD & other illnesses, He’s written Incredible Theatre Plays to raise awareness where Veterans & Actors work together to bring Jonny’s ideas to life! No-one should ever try to undo this Awesome work!! I’ve learnt more from Jonny about mental health than any of the so-called experts! Mental Health is real, nothing to be ashamed of, can happen to anyone at any time!! I couldn’t quite read last part of the post on screen, please can You let Me know what this says? Thanks very much & Thanks again! ♥️

Brilliantly put. 100% Agree.

Brilliant short sir

Do you know who understands? Nobody 😂

Blast Chillers already exist.

Keep up the grind mate. Great quality videos :)

Im seeing this happen everyday!

£140!? I paid like $700 CAD for mine 😂

Helpful video John. I’ve been in business for almost 10 years but always stuck to digital products. I’m dipping my toes into physical products for the first time soon, so this video was very insightful.

Is that not just a lunchtime walk WFH?

Im just looking to buy a walking treadmill for mine so i can walk and work at the same time. I tend to get lazy stood up and lean on the desk so not helping posture. Be great for getting more exercise in. 👍

True

Those profit numbers wont be exact. They have the tax man to worry about.

Should I go business path if I can?

This is in every working from home induction video

i never see anyone on KZbin speaks the reality as you do ... thank you

Subbed great point

I have ocd too, it’s so exhausting

Love this. From a fellow Murgatroyd who also tends to hide behind my company branding, this was SO relatable. Keep 'em coming John.

Hey John! You are great on camera. Subscribing. Hope to see more of you around!

I know... but sometimes this is really hard to remember especially when the overthinking kicks in 🫢😔

Refreshing and real. Needed this reminder as you say. Thank you.

Get back on the horse! I fell off too, about 10 days ago...dark time...but I'm back...

I highly appreciate your videos, John. Not many small business owners show the not so exuberant side of business and the hard days are part of it. You learn so much from the hard stuff. I’m sure you are going to succeed, because surviving for 7 years on your own shows already real character. I started this year to focus on a couple of hobbies to reach some emotional and physical balance. It makes such a difference. We should be a priority too. Put ourselves on the list of important things to do daily.

All of us that actually run a small business understand exactly what you did/are facing. You have this brother.....say thanks life for the challenge(s)...then punch it square in the face. You are never alone.

Onwards and upwards John. The value you provide with your videos cannot be under appreciated and I for one applaud you, I always take something positive away from what you have to say, so thank you, even though I can see this one was a little tough to put out.

Have you ever thought about getting a business partner?

I love a good reality check. It helps put things back into perspective. This was a great video and I hope many more come across it ❤

Thank you, very informative

Another great video 👍

This business has potential to pass 10k. I’m excited myself on each episode. Let’s get it 👏🏾

I’m here to follow the process and progress

great and interesting series you got going here!

you can do it, John!

I've fell into the trap of watching those videos on making $10k per month. Now, I can pretty much say I have a business. I'm still making my first product and documenting it but I'm 20% done(Currently in packaging phase which will literally take days). There is so much stuff those 10k/month youtubers are not saying and I'm starting to believe the people who watch those videos don't even have a business, hence why the youtubers who make those videos always start from $0 because only a person who is less than a beginner can tolerate their videos without rolling their eyes into the back of their skull. They overexaggerate every single thing that they can to get the viewers hopes up, without shame. I started rewatching videos those videos just to pick them apart and I noticed one thing, all they really care about is 1) views and 2) marketing whatever they're selling. In fact, I'd go as far to say, getting useful business ideas from their video is the LAST thing they want you to get hence why the main topics on those videos are product price, sales volume, them saying they did it, them saying they know people who did it, them saying they did it for other people. You will never hear them talking about bartering services/products, networking, time management, introspection, consumer behavior, marketing, legal documents, file management, security. It's just a bunch of BS.

I love what you're doing John - building in public. I've been following you for a few months now. I appreciate your honest and transparency. Running a business is NOT easy. I'm around the same age as you and also running my own businesses, but I left the UK a few years ago. Anyway, just wanted to pop by and let you know I appreciate your content. I watch most of your videos but have never commented. I hope you're feeling better these days. Mike

Thanks, John brilliant video looking forward to the next one 👍

No idea why this popped into my feed....maybe your Ads !....Ive gone through all of this building ( and still building) my music review site, I used an Indie web helper like yourself, the most valuable thing for me was some screen share sessions where they talked me through making changes in real time. Im using Krystal Hosting, WordPress and Elementor, all linked to Google analytics and Microsoft Clarity....Good Luck !

Thanks, John I have literally just started doing the same thing. I launched in May and was just looking for a bit of guidance and came across you thanks for sharing makes me feel like I'm not alone and that this can actually work.

Hey John, such a good idea behind this series, and it's good to see your enthusiasm! Two quick suggestions. One, niche down. I was on a conference call this morning with around 100 agency owners, and one of the key differences between those that were successful in making one million or more and those struggling was niching down. With all your experience in the fitness space with Murgs, double down on businesses in the fitness industry. Second, don't think of the website as a one-time cost. Please make it a monthly fee, (or you'll be burnt out like me 🤣). For example, instead of charging £600 for your basic website, make it £99/month (was £199), and pitch the package to personal trainers - for that fee, I want a 1-hour kick-off call, the website, two SEO blogs each month, monthly website traffic report, and a monthly newsletter. Additionally, follow up with a quarterly review call; this lets you keep them warm, check that the package is working for them, and potentially upsell them to the next plan or service over time. Doing a monthly retainer sounds like more work but it will fix your cashflow, give you 4x the yearly revenue, reduce your stress, and help you build a business you can eventually sell.

Thanks John, Looking good

Hey John , very good video ! I was wondering if I can help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and make Highly Engaging Thumbnails which will help your videos to get more views and engagement . Please let me know what do you think ?

Try being an affiliate mate...between Google and Amazon youre getting F**ked on a monthly basis

Sad to hear this, hope your issue gets resolved soon.

Seen your products back up on amazon, how did you get around it ?
