5 Essential Tips To Transform Your Side Gig Into A Career

[@ShopNation]

You’re the man Chris! Excited for you in 2024, keep killing it and inspiring others out there!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you Travis! I appreciate you man!!

[@frankgreen7988]

Just keep doing what you're doing God bless you

[@keithspencer4024]

I know you didn’t want advice for your wife but I feel the need to share my experience. I struggled with chronic fatigue for years. I started a carnivore diet and it changed my life.

[@timpindell8178]

Please keep driving forward, we live vicariously through you to also move forward.

[@jonathanhoward7669]

I don't watch every one of your videos, but whenever I do I feel happy. So proud of you!

[@731Woodworks]

"The Relentless Always Win!" LOVE IT! Great tips here Chris! I love the Thomas Edison quote, "Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits."

[@AGlimpseInside]

Absolutely Matt. I think you know just how that relentless quote goes. Thanks for chiming in brother. I hope all is well with you.

[@rockinkcreations127]

Wow Chris, don't know where to start, but first off great video and great tips! You have been an influential inspiration ever since I started watching you build out that shop. You are a big reason why I took the leap. Secondly, as I've told you before you are a great husband and father for always keeping the family as the top priority!! That will pay you back more than you can imagine!! See you in ATL brother!!!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Absolutely Mark yes looking forward to catching up in Atlanta. Thank you again for everything. You’re always such a big supporter of what we do. I really appreciate it. Tell your wife hello.

[@SaltwaterMom3]

Thank you for sharing your story. I also pulled my PSM 401k years ago and it allowed me to stay home with my young children. We have not been in debt ever since and I do not regret it. I am so happy to hear it gave you the opportunity to start your own business and be home for your family. I subscribed to your channel when I came across your shop build and I will continue to follow your journey forward. Many prayers and blessings to you and your family.

[@AGlimpseInside]

I know I’m a bit late here, but this is awesome. Such a great story thanks for sharing.

[@scottstorch4227]

Great video Chris, love the inspiration. Have investigated the Carnivore Diet for your wife? Keep up the great work 👍

[@mikedurkee7296]

Chris, you are a pretty darn good human being! Love the positivity, trustworthiness, openness, and honest emotion. I came on board while you were in your old shop and I can't put into words how much I thoroughly enjoy watching your journey.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Mike. I very much appreciate this. Thanks for being around for so long and tuning into what we’re doing. Thanks again man. Hope all is well with you and yours.

[@Allhandlesalreadytaken9]

You forgot #6 - be an all around awesome human being. Respect.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you so much

[@mcmathwoodworks]

Chris, it’s really awesome to hear how well your business is doing! I hope it keeps on rocking for a long time to come! I pray for you and your wife and your family and hope that her condition gets better and y’all can enjoy even more quality time together! I really like these five tips too, especially #5

[@mccoyscreations]

Chris, as always, your videos inspire me. All the best to you, your wife and children. May 2024 be a wonderful year for you all.

[@coypemberton]

I love your channel and I love you approach to life. Never expected a woodworking/maker video to get me choked up, but here we are cutting onions. Keep it up

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

I've been watching from the early days in your garage and it's amazing to see what you've accomplished. And when one considers all the external forces that you've had to deal with, it's even more amazing. All the best to your continued success.

[@nolanstevenson3510]

Don’t get discouraged with the potty training my high functioning ASD son was in night time pull ups until he was 14. You are absolutely an inspiration!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you for the insight. That’s good to know. Means a lot and hope you’re doing well. Thank you for sharing.

[@caryjohnston7596]

Great video and great advice for taking the next step AND raising kids - be present! I often tell young couples either with kids or expecting that the most important thing when raising kids is to BE PRESENT. Kids will forget stuff or money or gifts but they always remember who showed up!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Absolutely makes it a lot worthwhile. It’s so great I get to be such a big part of their lives. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

[@kentucker9450]

Chris you are a stand up dude. I discovered your videos after I got home from open heart surgery. I t was a extremely rough time for me. After surgery you cant sleep on your back and have to sleep sitting up in a recliner the pain is incredible. Needless to say sleep did not come easy for a few weeks. I was up almost all night long most nights. I stumbled upon your video on a sleepless night and became a fan of the channel. I binged your all your videos. You helped me through many sleepless nights . Thank you brother !

[@AGlimpseInside]

Well, this is extreme Remely awesome to hear. Of course not that you had surgery. I hope everything worked out and you are doing well. And I really do appreciate you telling me how you discovered it and your recovery story. Thank you so much. Comments like this to make my day

[@mixmasterjt]

Thanks for sharing your heart and behind the scenes with your fam. I’m also a dad / maker with a kiddo with a terminal illness. Praying for your wife and your fam today. The Lord hasn’t forgotten you!

[@mishinka0007]

Chris, I highly relate to your story since my I'm now on my journey of getting out of my own head and quiting my job for good. On the other hand my wife has also been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and you probably know by now that its a struggle and battle, but I can assure you is one to win. You have a BIG heart, lots of positivity and willpower and thats key for success and I highly admire you and enjoy your work. Sending strength and vigor your way man!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Man, it’s nice and not nice to know that we’re not alone in this right. It really does reek havoc on a family and their daily routine. Thanks for chiming in and I hope your situation gets better overtime as well.

[@gryzwold]

Man the “must be nice” attitude is a killer, had an old timer straighten me out on that when I was young and it was some of the best advice I ever got.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Yes sir. It’s amazing what we think we know when we’re young.

[@merlinsatrom6678]

Competence, chemistry - and character - you rock it on all three Chris! That’s why it’s working!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you very much

[@PatrickLemay]

I've been a follower since the garage days, and your story, every time you talk about it, is touching and incredible. Your way of speaking to us is insipiring and wish you continued success

[@davidkendrick3158]

So happy to get an update on the ole YT! Catch all the shorts on IG and FB, but this will always be where I found you! Would love to hear more about your support team(s)…maybe on the other channel? Even just for the small business side of the house…still trying to wrap may head around what we can DIY and what it’s worth paying someone with experience to handle! Hope you have a great weekend and hope to talk soon. OPHS Class of ‘87!!!

[@AGlimpseInside]

That’s a good idea. I might put something about that on the second channel for sure. Thanks for the insight and the well wishes and I appreciate you always David. Hope you guys are doing well and I hope your wife is doing well as well.

First time viewer. You touched my soul. I believe you could change the world man.

[@IndyGuy09]

Chris, I have all the respect in the world for you. I personally have 2 special needs children, and I don't know how I would do it without my wife staying at home caring for them all day. Don't know if you're a believer, but I'll pray for you and your family. Wish you all the best.

[@Poundy]

Whatever you say mate, you've done an EXCELLENT job running your new business. And I can't imagine the pressures you must have felt along the way. I'm glad to have found your channel (I was one of the Stumpy Nubs additions) and I've stayed around for the things you do. While I can't support you by buying your stuff, I do wish you the absolute best - and just know you've touched a lot of people through your family's story along the way.

[@birdack81]

I got here when Stumpy mentioned your channel a few years ago and I stayed because of your humanity. I am not religious so no prayers from me, but know that I wish you all the best with all my heart. You are a phenomenal human being, a great dad and an amazing partner. An congratulations to your stepson!!

[@gbjones54]

Chris, been following you from the beginning. Why? Because you are real. God bless you your family and especially your wife! An inspiration for sure! 👍💙

[@christianorfali]

You are an awesome human being Chris. I will keep you in my prayers. Miracles happen. Trust Him.

[@SnikleWoodworks]

Chris, God is all around you and waiting for you to fully submit to his glory. He is ready and willing to take all of the burden off of you. You are doing an amazing job using what God has given you to make this world the best it can be and spreading hope. Thank you so much for sharing your story and being vulnerable and explaining your story in a way that we can all understand and feel connected to. Keep up the great work and bring us along for your journey, even if it gets more difficult and especially as it gets easier. You have so much inspiration to spread even if it feels like you are drowning in difficulties. It is worth it.

[@rubecountryman]

@AGlimpseInside thanks for the lesson. Just breathe and take it one day at a time. Thank your wife for me for talking you into doing this. I was abused my whole life including by my youngest son. Every day is a struggle to stay focused. You are part of my research to start my own woodworking business @ 50 years old... Thanks for the lessons

[@tpsooner7816]

Thanks for the great, straightforward, & even vulnerable videos, Chris. Super encouraging!

[@matthewbratz7868]

I just wanted to say this is the 1st video of yours I have watched and it was amazing I too am trying to start my own side hustle and have kids in the spectrum/special needs. You have inspired me to renew my efforts to push through the hard times. Thanks!! And keep up the good work. You have gained a sub!

[@garyhagger6665]

This is why i subscribed to this channel. The struggles you have been through and are going through is amazing. I feel very inspired after every video. I too worked for publix for many years and know the pain of corporations. To feel the freedom of running your own business is awesome. You are blessed never let the adversaries get under your skin.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you so much, Gary. I really appreciate this comment. Really didn’t make my day. Hope you’re having a good one as well.

Hey Chris, we went to school together and are friends on FB, but somehow I just found your channel. Anyways, I just wanted to say congrats on doing your own thing and succeeding at it. Enjoying the videos and I’m happy to support your channel. Hope all is well! JL

[@samsanderson7159]

My wife has a condition called Chari Malformation. Kind of hard to explain, but what it causes is, the blood that gets pumped to her head cannot drain back to her heart fast enough so she gets a lot of pressure built up in her head. The headaches are non stop and can be debilitating at times. It's also caused some other issues like some memory loss and some balance issues when she's on her feet to long. She started doing custom tumblers a few years ago and she had made a little money with that. Last year I decided to jump on board with her and we bought a small laser. This year we bought a Xtool P2 and I took out a loan for a new garage/shop. We are kind of in a similar boat to the one you started in. I hope it floats. Lol. Your story is inspiring and I'm happy I found your channel. I hope your wife can overcome her problems or at least find something that will help.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Hey Sam. Thanks for sharing this. My heart was out to you and your wife especially her. Sounds absolutely dreadful. I hope there’s something that happens in the future that helps. Thanks for chiming in and best of luck with the new laser. All the best to you.

Chris, you have two incredible stories to tell. The first is how you and your family cope, snd the second about your business! Isn't it just amazing the ways that God works! It sounds like the two are intertwined in a divine way. I believe you understand what I'm saying. If you keep praying and trusting I believe your business will continue to grow and you and your family will benefit and overcome. I'm so happy to hear about your older son! 😊😊❤❤ It's such a wonderful outcome. You have been very inspirational for me and I can't thank you enough. Here's to a safe and happy 2024!! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Chris, I knew when I first found your channel a couple years ago, that you were going to successful in both your life and your chosen journey to being a top notch one man shop albeit with lots of help from various sources with ideas, etc. Your focus on your family is commendable and to be emulated. Awesome news on the graduation of your son. I never knew if he received the letter I sent or not, but I understand the rigors of the journey he was on, so I did not get my feelings hurt with no reply. You are a treasure, Chris and I am so happy for your success! Best regards from about 75 miles west of ya.

[@b.b.stanfield9829]

Chris, although we didn’t get to meet your stepson on our visit I got the issues you were dealing with at that time. I’m so pleased to hear that things have really turned around. I had hoped, and have had some experience with, such changes. He has followed the good path forward and I attribute a lot of his success simply on the fact you, as parents, have provided the means. With that in hand he has taken the path forward. Please do keep everyone appraised on all the kids, and especially your spouse. I know it’s personal but you’ve put it out there, and it’s inspirational, good or bad, just how well everyone is doing. It’s definitely inspirational to those that may be struggling with their own challenges and seeing how well you are handling life is a great model for them to emulate. If we get back out that way again it would be my pleasure to take you to dinner or something similar. Our lack of time last April was not ideal, but we so enjoyed the visit. Oh, I may have introduced a young, motivated, father to your channel for needed motivation. Please continue moving forward.

[@AGlimpseInside]

[@samsske]

Woodpeckers link?

[@AGlimpseInside]

It’s in the description of this video. It’s also my channel trailer. If you just go to my channels homepage on KZbin, you’ll find it.

[@alexreid4131]

Well done Chris! Been a subscriber of yours for a few years now. One question if I may…is the $150k/yr your gross revenue or your profit? Additionally, is that from your woodworking business sales, your YT channel revenue or a combination of both? Rarely (if ever) do I see YT woodworkers who have been able to quit their day jobs due to having a successful woodworking business. It’s virtually always due to the income they make from being a “content provider”. I hope you have a minute to answer those two questions and congrats once again 👍

[@alexreid4131]

lol never mind I rewatched the video and you covered it. The $150k was revenue from sales. So you are doing even better than that since you also have an income from the YT which is awesome! Are you able to say what that additional figure is? Can you at least indicate if it’s the same as you more than the product sales? Thanks again.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Oh no it’s a very much a gross income issue. I didn’t mention it in the video but I did put it in text in one part of the video, but it was very brief. KZbin revenue is almost nothing these days. Hardly even pays half the mortgage. Not complaining every little bit helps but the lions share of what keeps us afloat is through our website.

[@alexreid4131]

@@AGlimpseInside thank you for taking the time to shed some light on that.

I was listening to Tony Robbins and he said something that hit me regarding you and your family. He said 'if you know what you want, and how much you want it, like a new car, etc, you find a way to make it happen'. Step1. Be clear Step 2. Find and face truth, truth will set you free. truth where you are, where you want to be. Limiting beleif ( you said you tried everything, but nothing was fixed. There is a cure, and it pains me knowing what I know that there is a cure, but you aren't interested in hearing it because you already tried everything. Well everything except the cure that is) I hope you can make some more videos this year, they are normally great and enjoyable. I'm glad to hear you had such a great sucess for the buiness and having better access with your kids. That seems to be some of the most important things in life you were able to acomplish. Cheers and Happy New Year. Let's see what can come up ahead!

Chris you act like a great man but have you thought about God is nothing but power of love and healing.

Are you a full time KZbinr? Or, is just a side hustle for you? Love your channel!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Full-time now been doing it full-time for a little over two years. I wouldn’t necessarily call it full-time youtube though. The channel doesn’t even make enough money to support me alone in my 20s. Let alone this family of five. I’m more of a manufacturer who uses a KZbin channel to leverage to get sales. It’s the only way I could find to survive. Just the truth. Hope this gives you some good insight
