HOW ONE BUSINESS BOUGHT ME 7 CARS A LAKE, 4 HOUSES & MY DREAM JOB

[@callyk5678]

You know what, I was one of the people commenting about you being a rich kid and after watching this I’m sorry i thought that. This video is a perfect explanation on how not to judge someone based solely on who they were born to, good luck Ben I wish you every success and your parents clearly brought you up right 👍

[@benedictfowler]

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment this. Means a lot reading it 👍

[@samdieselpower]

Im not being funny cos he's a nice bloke and obviously works very hard but he clearly stated that his dad left him a multi million pound business and he sold it. Yes it had dept but he will still have got a huge lump of cash for selling it to investors. I was very impressed by his story though and he has done well. What I get from this story and all the other stories he has told is what a true gent/legend his dad was! I feel his pain losing a man so influential in his life at a young age.

@@simong7735 Lol I went to private school my whole life and live in a 700k house that my nan left to me in her will, which has a 2acres of field and and half ana acre of woodland, so I was seriously thinking of digging my own lake myself yeah, but I don't know if I have time with my surveying businesses to be honest.

[@BOSSYDG]

He clearly was a rich kid did you not watch thr first 2 minutes?

[@leemaddison7046]

R.i.p Kevin 😢 with what you've accomplished since he passed he would would be proud of you

[@Sloal]

I’m so glad you made this video. I originally thought “who’s this rich kid?”. Not because I didn’t like you, but because I was interested. Then I read about your dad and nothing else really mattered. You’ve done a great job. You’ve worked bloody hard and you’ve pulled together all your experience and resources to make your life your best life. You don’t need to run your dads business to honour your dad. You need to do why makes you happy to honour him. And I’m sure you’d give everything up to have him back. So. You do you. Keep it real, brother.

[@RockyD]

Being a father myself to 4 kids, your a credit to your Dad. Both your parents cleary installed hard work and graft in you. Please ignore the trolls. You could of easily walked away and not worked another day in your life but chose to work hard to continue to achieve. Full credit to you Ben. Keep going, keep pushing those boundaries mate.

Well done Sir. Your Dad would be very proud indeed.

Fellow carp angler, fellow petrolhead, fellow son of a much missed Dad. The rest is irrelevant to me, fuck the trolls

[@stevegreenaway9527]

As someone who knew your dad, it was a massive shock to hear he passed. He would be massively proud of you bud.

[@karlb1]

I'll be completely honest, i wasn't your biggest fan when you featured on Mats channel, but after hearing your story fully and hearing about the sad passing of your dad, you've warmed on me a lot! I also lost my dad who was my best friend suddenly in 2020 too, and it was the biggest, most heartbreaking thing I've ever gone through. To see somebody bounce back from it so quickly and triumph through everything that follows it, I know your dad would be immensely proud of you and everything you've achieved since then. Keep up the hard work sir

[@justinjay5358]

Fair play to this guy, I firstly discovered his lake building videos and didn't know about his other ventures until recently. His honesty is refreshing, good luck to him!!

[@me-myself-and-i-u7b]

Thank you for opening up, Ben. You didn't have to, but this story just emphasizes how genuine you are in your videos. You did everything right by selling the Dads online business platform right at the COVID peak. I wish you all the best in your endeavors and hope all your plans end up working out the right way.

[@stevesracingbits]

Take no notice of any haters you are obviously a very hard-working person it doesn't matter whether you come from money or not you also seem very genuine and I am a very sceptical person, so keep doing what you're doing ignore the internet trolls and just enjoy your life

[@Ian-ev5tg]

He made a website for a company that was already making millions. It was hardly ever going to fail with multiple millions of pounds backing it. At least mat armstrong earned what he’s got.

[@AI-Records24]

Go on lad! I’m from a council estate and now have 5 relatively successful businesses. People always say oh but some people are given a better start so it’s easier, well it’s not. The reason I do this is so my daughter has a better start than I did, who wouldn’t want that?! End of the day a start is just that, it’s a START. It’s not the hard work, the endless hours, the stress, the blood sweat and tears, or the results of all that. Hard work pays off. Well done mate.

[@flappypaddles_]

I think your old man is smiling down on you mate. You're a top lad with a smart head on your shoulders, and this video was a brilliant explanation of who you are. You're gonna make waves in the world and may they be big ones.

[@NimPat]

Came across you from MA's channel and it's great that you guys (amongst many, many others) keep producing positive content enlightening us on your journeys - because they're what keep me going (unlike the pre-meditated negative press/TV). Without you guys keeping the dream alive for yourselves, hence keeping it alive for all of us followers that follow you and your journeys, we'd all be in a lesser place ourselves. You display the hope, opportunities, the fun times, result of hard work, that we all need, that we definitely don't get from mainstream media. All credit to you.

[@Vfourmike]

I wondered who you were and got completely the wrong impression. As I lost my father when I was much younger, I got this video so much more. You’re a trooper mate and I take my hat off to you. You deserve all the rewards and returns from your hard work. Well done.

[@davidpartridge4685]

Ben you have not allowed emotion and loss slow you down growing & building a life that you feel happy with thanks to your parents that instilled the prinicipals and values to succeed in anything you pursue and the way you have adpated your skills into everything you do is a credit to you and how your parents brought you up...don't lose the will and the ethics that has made you who you are...honest and giving 100%...

[@Christian6AT]

Your Dad would be incredibly proud of what you have achieved, chasing your dreams and following in his footsteps building amazing businesses. Keep up the amazing work 👏

[@hendongooner7383]

Well done Ben - You have nothing to apologise for. You have taken the advantages that your parents were able to pass on to you and done something amazing. Condolences on the loss of your father, a few years ago. I am sure he is looking down from above, full of pride.

[@captaincrankshaft]

Love this! Congratulations on all the success

a big thanks to your dad and your self for supplying us ground workers in and around Swindon to be able to create the garden transformations to this date, rip kevin

[@kevinfisher1632]

Respect to the newest and maybe the youngest man to make his mark in history ....well done to your parents for the work ethic and to you for your constant drive to better yourself.

[@oliverdking]

One thing that shines through with people like you and Matt is PURE PASSION. This drives everything.

[@DXRAZOR]

Ben I hope you see these comments praising you and your family. It is very easy to fixate and feed negativity, but you, in every avenue you persue ooze charisma and positivity. There will be those who are jealous of you but always look back on these days where you lay your soul bare and the positive responses you receive. When kevs is sealed up and fishing I’ll be saving up to come visit and I can’t wait to fish it for some of those monsters.

[@benedictfowler]

Never seen such amazing comments. Thanks so much for taking the time to do so!

[@MattPedro-oi9os]

Well done, Ben. You’re always working hard to get where you’ve got and yet sitting having food with you, et cetera. You are one of the most kindest people I know. The road to success is clearly working hard and being a decent human being

Thank you for being so honest Ben. What a legend your dad is. His risk taking has sparked a generational wealth that will hopefully have a positive impact on your family for decades to come

[@Col83125]

Well done Ben, your Dad would be proud. I too suddenly lost my Dad 5 years ago, still coming to terms with it now.. but what you’ve achieved and how you’ve got on with things is pretty inspirational. I regularly listen to your podcasts when i’m in the car, the information we gain from those is fantastic, loving your more recent colabs with Matt and Nico on their channels 👍🏻
