Cashflow is the no 1 thing to keep business owners up at night. I feel for you. It’s tough times

[@jasonwright131]

So true! After 24 years of my business I’m in the process of getting out. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze anymore and my health is paying big time for with all the stress.

Daniel, Cash Flow is the number one thing keeping business owners up at night. I feel for you. Like you, it keeps me awake at night. You are not alone. It is the worst part of being self-employed and employing people.

[@diggershave3]

Absolutley spot on weve all been there!

[@MrSahilable]

I don’t pretend to understand the complexities of your business. But years ago I was in sales. We would have quarterly lunches or phone calls to understand why customers weren’t working with us year over year. Furthermore, to encourage the 1:1 interaction. Our sales team would call their counterparts at our customers once a month. I had 200 clients. Probably 20-50 that used us every quarter. The others was simply a email or call to catch up. I had notes on all my counterparts in an excel sheet. Spouse, kids, football, you name it. Then every year we had a big party for all our customers. Even in hard times it bought everyone together. Just food for thought. Love your channel! Greetings from the states!

[@danielconlon2388]

Daniel that particular Friday is when my one man business hit the brakes literally and figuratively. Cash flow had been suffering with many, many maintenance issues prior and on that Friday, fully loaded I Had my one and only vehicle breakdown with a run away diesel engine in Nice France. The world ended that day after finding out my European cover I've had for 3 years didn't cover vehicles over 8 years old in France. More money paid out and a flight back to Ireland. I drove out in a mates rig Monday to recover my Trailer as couldn't afford to get the van home and it's dead anyway. Mate i genuinely feel like you did when the money train stopped. Hopefully unlike me you'll bounce back.. started my business 3 years ago watching your video's every week. Always wanted to meet you whenever I was in London.. chin up mate keep the good fight going.

You are an inspiration to many people Daniel long may these episodes continue.

[@bernardgarrett3897]

28:50 I agree that is the worst feeling. I think that those who have not run a business will be completely unaware of how that feels. So good luck to you when you enjoy the finer things of life.

[@londonbasementpumpslimited7431]

[@donaldtriumph1682]

Money!! I purchased an old dumper from a neighbor. We agreed a price got the dumper then he became ill. 3 months later he drove by and I had to run out to stop him. He couldn’t be bothered about the money his actual words were. You’re good for it if something happened to me during my illness you would have sorted with the wife. Different sums of money I’m sure but the fact that I owe ANYONE ANYTHING Grates me like you wouldn’t believe. Yes I’m sure there’s the sort that say IF THEY AINT ASKED THEY AINT MISSED IT Type. But it’s a great feeling to be self financing and able to stand on your own too feet. Great work ethic Daniel.

[@karltye5118]

Good morning everyone in the ashville family and hope you all have a great week ahead 👍

One thing I genuinely admire about you Dan is your total honesty- your comments about the world has ended, the cash flow etc are honest and straight from the heart.

28:53, 100% the worst feeling in the world. Refreshing to see from the comments and this episode that everyone feels the same about it. Running a small business is bloody tough.

Think Dan and Terry should do another video watching the funniest moments they’ve had. Last one was quality

[@kenmoore589]

You are doing great things and helping to put bread on many peoples table, I guarantee your team appreciate that. Only one gets called the BOSS and with pressure like this video we see why.

[@daikennett]

Team Ashville, you guys really need to enable membership mode or patreon - id definitely pay. This is the only thing I consistently watch every week in and out. I make time for it. If it helps alleviate some of the pressure on the video team so they can keep pumping out top notch content then its an easy win for me.

[@danielwillow1979]

[@SkidM3rks]

Tesco has membership mode over on their official page. And I hear the HR team over at Asda are thinking of setting up a patreon because the Issa brothers need a little help.

Can we get a mid week video of all the best outakes and bloopers you have built up over the years!

[@jonathanbeale3978]

Daniel, the blocks are called Scotch’s . Recommend you paint the handle a nice bright yellow as they are a trip hazard. Also I am sure you will learn from the invoicing problem and you and your staff will improve the monitoring.Finally with large infer structure project having been cancelled by the gov it is going to be tough time😊, but you will prevail.

[@skwdenyer]

The real daylight robbery isn’t the police escort fee; it’s that track access charges mean it’s still cheaper to move a train by road than on the rails. Nuts. Can’t GBRF tack it onto the back of the next aggregate delivery for you? :)

[@sebastiaanthijs4523]

Sorry to hear you’re struggling, but appreciate you keeping it real and showing us the journey.

[@adminnorthmoorplanttranspo6577]

Having customers that don't kick off when you let their account get a bit high . But pay you straight away is like gold . You win and they win because they know you will always try and look after them .

[@BrandonTheling]

Have to say watching the progress that Ashville is making through difficult times is a testament to the team you have around you. Please please keep the outtakes. From your dedicated viewer from Canada.

[@kilaa007]

I felt every word regarding cash flow. Cashflow , the lifeblood of every business. Thanks for sharing. Keep going brother !! 👊

[@phalanx3803]

Tip for the concrete silo find a twin for it. 1- more capacity meaning you can stay working longer should there be a delay with delivery 2- should one brake down there is another that is still going 3- should both be down its crazy unlikely they both brake in the same way so parts can be taken from one to keep the other going till new parts arrive. because of this there is no need to spend loads of money on massive and costly spare parts like gear boxes and motors that sit around and do nothing to make profit. its one thing to have spare fuses and relays but to have spare motors and gearboxes is not an idea situation unless you have a high turnover of those parts.

[@WorkingTitleCo]

Not at all. While he may have not needed to. It is how to create an open and honest channel with your clients. It’s a great way to get the client comfortable giving you other info.

[@MarkStenton-z2i]

Hi Daniel. Just to say I felt for you this week with your cash flow issues. Your genuine upset and feeling of dread shows how much you care and how hard you work. I have been there and can sympathise with you. Take care of yourself and, although easier said then done, try and give yourself some time away from the yard to help you reset. I can understand that you feel the buck stops with you but don’t let it consume you, you are a good man 👍

[@Stovem]

Now is the time to get serious, concentrate on business (no more fun projects) I know it's hard but focus (after a good night's rest) will enable you to think more freely. You need some more free time to give yourself even more options. You care about your team so allow them to pull their weight. Get some more sales in. Speak to your Mum or elders, they might give you more insight as to the way forwards as un attached as it may seem, wisdom comes from unexpected places. Oh and say hello to Michael O'Donovan for me, I know he gives you a dig but that's just his ego and besides, it seems like he's the only friend you've got outside of the company😂. Onwards and upwards my friend, there are so many people rooting for you. Man's not shook👊🏾🙏🏽

Credit to you brother you work seriously hard. I don’t wanna tell you how to run your business but for peace of mind a security I find it best to keep 30 days ahead on wages and finance agreements.. so enough money in the bank to pay all wages for 1 month plus finance. It’s tough to get to that position but it will save you headaches in future

Truly appreciate the honesty of what it's like managing a business. Question: regarding the train, is it something that can be moved by another train?, shunted from where it is to the Ashville yard?.

Moving old stock on the network is extremely expensive. Can be seen as new and old stock are often moved by road. Only DMU and EMUs of greater than 4 coaches are moved by rail.
