My new business failed... What I've been hiding | Home vlog

I was on the path to creating something so exciting for my life that would bring more dimension to my reselling business and it fell apart DAYS before the deal was finalized. I can now get this off my chest and move on after holding back so much for months. It was decided to keep it quiet early on to protect the other party and I respected that, but here I am months later with nothing to show for it except a learning experience.
As disappointing this process ended, I'm still optimistic and looking forward, so let's see what's next!

Jeffrey I’m 89 and have had a lot of “start overs”. I’m sure you will rethink your options I think you’ll have fun restocking. I love your shopping trips.

[@babydoe42]

Lenore ♥ You are amazing.

[@cjbailey584]

The cost of staying where you are is minimal. Storage units can be that much! And separating your business from your home is wonderful. I am proud of you and I have followed your path from the beginning. You are an inspiration . And to be honest about the things that don't work out is a quality of a really good human being. Thank you for being a good roll model not only in business but also in life.

[@Lamb716]

Well stated!

[@amysminis]

Absolutely!

[@sandymilton2508]

Very well said!

[@beckaboo3872]

I hope to see you on KZbin again soon. You have a wonderful personality and know a heck of a lot about vintage and antiques. There isn’t anyone else who entertains like you. Remember this isn’t a failure, it’s get getting experience. DO NOT let things drag you down. I agree with mental breaks and reflections. But use your uniqueness and stand tall, enjoy yourself along the way. You will come back even stronger than anytime before. Lots of people believe in you and want you in their lives to be able to grin or giggle and push all the other crap to the back of the line and keep on trucking.

[@Mallratthrift]

I agree with Becka Boo!

[@melindashahan6836]

Jeffrey-you are a truly wonderful person. Take some time & rest. I knew something was going on because we weren't hearing much from you. You are loved for being you!

[@chrisrosselli9003]

Jeffrey, your young, intelligent and have good business sense. Not everything works out but you learn and grow from all experiences. It is great that you can now go and grow with your reseller friends. This community is very supportive. You are wonderful and never forget that. 🙏💕👍 The porch looks fantastic 🦋

Please don't spend too much time looking at the door that just closed because you might miss the doors that will now open in front of you, the ones you're supposed to walk through.

You have a lot of people who care about you, so stay strong & know you are supported every step along the way!

[@rosiesattic29]

I adore you Jeffrey, Aaron and Stella. You are a great person and I believe everything happens for a reason. Something bigger is meant for you in the future ✨️. I wish you the best in the next chapter. Until then get up, dust yourself off and always keep positive. You can manifest bigger and better things.✨️ Take care. 🤩

[@cynthiaburton9797]

Jeffrey, so proud of you stepping out of your comfort zone. Some of my biggest “failures” in my life have turned out to be blessings in disguise. Your blessing will be forthcoming. You’re so awesome to watch and bring such joy to all of us!

[@Sweetpea1128]

I agree with elderly poodle. A friend of mine once said, “A partnership is a poor ship to sail.” It could be you dodged a great big bullet. I’m glad you are keeping your building. It’s a valuable asset. And as a wise man often says, “You do you, Boo!” You are very smart and very talented. I can’t wait to see your next adventure!!

[@Angelica71771]

It actually takes a lot of courage, hard work, and ambition to have a business. You tried, it didn't happen the way you set out for it to but you are awesome for trying. Other things will be better because we always take something good away from bad moments. Not sure but also sounds like you avoided something you might have regretted later and that you would have been tide to so that is good! Thank you for being candid because you didn't owe us any explanation. I look forward to seeing your future videos and all the things you will do now! You got this!! Thanks for making videos.

[@Lamb716]

Wow, that’s a GREAT comment for Jeffrey. Absolutely spot ON

[@donnasim5871]

I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and usually for the best. It may be hard to understand at present, but I will bet, you will see it soon! Have faith ! Stay strong! Know you are loved!

Your business is not a failure. Never came to fruition. If you went ahead, and got stock with repairs - that would've been a failure. You Got This Fresh Start - Be Happy!

[@donnawisner1481]

Well Jeffrey. I'm so sorry it (whatever it was) didn't work out. But as others said it happened for a reason. Something better will come along. You are way more established than lots of other 30 year olds. You are smart and resourceful and it'll work out. I understand you not telling people because of something like this. On a positive note, love the sunroom floor. I would never attempt that job. And just think you can reorganize and clean your shop and it'll feel like new. Your awesome and you have love and support from tons of your fans ❤️

[@MsStarMama]

I remember when you first bought the building, it was so exciting to see what it would become. Just like you I had gotten my own shop around the same time you did but to be on the safe side I kept my space at the antique mall in case my business fail. I tell you, it's hard doing all the shopping and trying to run a store. Many times I wish I had a business partner or an employee to at least run the register while I'm out shopping for inventory. I'm also getting ready to do an ebay store. I'm thinking about going online all the way, keeping my booth at the antique mall and using my shop as a warehouse / shipping station. Ahhh decisions...decisions. YOU ARE SMART FOR KEEPING YOUR BUILDING AND NOT SELLING IT. You have a lot of OPTIONS AND POTENTIAL you can do with very minimal cost.

[@CarolinaPrincess-STP]

I don’t see this as a fail at all! This is your space, you run the show and control your time which is the best! You made the space look wonderful, before and I know it will be amazing again! People loved your Pop Ups too. You are incredibly smart & will make the best decisions for you!🥰

[@thrifternothoarder7188]

Listen, times are tough right now. Maybe It wasn't meant to be BUT You are resourceful and will grow in another direction. You have so much support. Glad you are still making shop with me videos as a lot of others have stopped just to do sales. Take some time, believe in yourself and move forward. 🥰

[@auntiesash]

Jeffrey - I've always been impressed by your business knowledge & practicality. (Not every business owner can explain COGS as casually as you did.) Setbacks & detours can be so frustrating & I hope you give yourself time to reorient. That said, having something fall apart BEFORE you invest 6 digits sounds like a close call rather than a failure. Remember, when the universe closes a door, just open it again. That's how doors work.

[@lucianamastrianni962]

Disappointing, yes. Failure, NO WAY! You took a gamble & thankfully you were stopped before you went all in! Keep up your spirits & we are glad that you are here

[@JudyWW]

Jeffrey....you're a fantastic businessman. Just look at this as part of your journey. I am in my 60s and am constantly changing directions. So sorry for all the work and finances you put into it this far. Keep being you. You have a great business mind and drive to succeed so it will all work out. Glad you shared this with us.

[@Carolyngenea]

You are great at keeping a secret. I was amazed to see all those empty shelves. An antique mall (if that is what you were pursuing) would definitely tie you down. That big unexpected $175,000 price tag makes me suspect a building in dire need of repair. With material costs at record highs and the economy getting more sour every day, I suspect this is a blessing in disguise. I admire your entrepreneurial spirit.

[@robertasharples942]

You strike me as an intelligent financially responsible entrepreneur and you will find your mojo in another path. Sounds like you were fortunate enough to dodge a bullet which makes it a success……perspective is everything.

[@Mittenmarket]

Look at Danni the niche lady...... had to move out of her house but ended up with the perfect house for her and her business!! It must've happened this way for a reason with you also!! Best of luck!

Heck one or two months Dani was given the word to look for another house, they didn't want her there. Shit happens. So glad he moved to Florida?

[@TimsGirl1978]

Jeffrey, life is FULL of blessings and also let downs. I am older, a business I owned went under, had to file bankruptcy. What a nightmare, but I made it out o.k. I have SO MANY MORE blessings! This is regroup time! Remember when you were a kid, fell down, but jumped up and took off running without even brushing yourself off? You will take off running Jeffrey, and we will be running right behind you!!!

[@moladhdodhia164]

A+ to your parents on raising a fabulous,quite adorable,most handsome young man,who is full of wisdom and common sense,something I sure lacked when I was young.

[@soniacaldwell1639]

It's amazing how the Universe looks after us -- even as things "fall through". Sigh of relief. Carry on.

[@nancywinslow3412]

I like to say…Sometimes the universe does for us what we can’t do for ourselves for whatever reason. However, it doesn’t take away the disappointment and emotional exhaustion that one goes through with the failure of what we thought would be. I enjoy what you’re putting out there.

[@BayouBelleVintiques]

When one door closes, another one will open. The right fit will come along, having a space out of the house is awesome. Perhaps another reseller in the area could rent space?

[@RealNiftyVintage]

I never actually thought about that. I've considered other businesses renting it for instance a massage place or office location. the main thing in the way is that I need to get air conditioning to the front of the shop. that has a cost, which shouldn't be too bad, but who knows how many people are jumping to rent a place in a small town.

[@Jenny-dy4cp]

@@RealNiftyVintage maybe an apprentice/space rent type thing. If I lived close I would for sure pay to learn and gain courage from you. You are a bank of so much knowledge from vintage items to KZbin videos to live sales! Never forget your worth. Ps. We all love you very much! I know it’s a little weird but we hang out with you pretty much daily. I would be surprised if anyone could stand me every day. Lol

[@lclark715]

Jeffrey I’m sorry things didn’t work out as planned. You seem to be a very motivated person, so I’m sure Life will present you with better opportunities when the time is right. Take some time to regroup and evaluate what your plans are going forward. I hope you continue to put out KZbin content as I enjoy your personality and the banter/friendship you have with Barb.

[@joanncraig6993]

Jeffrey, I can feel your exhaustion and sadness. But let it go. Take a little break to reflect but don't get stuck. Concentrate now on what you have and the accomplishments you have made. Trust that you are heading in the right direction. Buying a property is a really a big deal. You put a new roof and painted it. Not everyone that is reselling have a property to store and work in. I have to say I really Love your videos. You are naturally a very funny guy. I wish you a speedy bounce back. Having the freedom to do what makes you happy and working in your own time zone is priceless. Being tied up is no fun. I wish happiness and time to share it.

[@kathysilk2898]

You are very strong. It just wasn't meant to be. I'm sorry that you went through this, but sometimes these issues teach us. About ourselves... I believe that you will move forward.....

Cyd in MD. Dear J. This is such sad news. I have no doubts that at least half of your viewers have been through either a personal or business disappointment like this. I am so impressed by your attention to detail when trying to unwind the whole deal. Your professionalism when it comes to disclosure is much to be admired. After the smoke clears I know you will be stronger and I hope you appreciate the kind of man you are. We all have great respect for “that” man.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Eloquently said Jeffrey. I cannot see you being in a partnership. Your a lot like me kid. I did not want a business partner. I never even wanted a roommate. When I sold my flower shop it was bought by two partners. They didn’t see eye to eye. They lasted one year. I carried the loan. Ended up paying three months lease on a empty shop. Expensive lesson and just about sent me into a breakdown. Stay independent! You’ve got all you need to do very well on your own. With admiration, Katherine ♥️🐩

I have been in the antique business most of my life. I've tried allot of different things such as owning my own shop to becoming an auctioneer and operating my own auction house. These things worked for a while and then gradually fizzled out. After an extensive break I decided to get back in the game over a year ago. So far it's been great. But as we all know the antique business is extremely unpredictable. I have more than once found myself in a merchandise rich and cash poor situation. That's not going to happen this time lol. During my life as an antique dealer I've always had a full time job. I felt like I needed the reassurance of a pay check. Good luck to you and your future business ventures

I was a Realtor and sold Real Estate for 25 years. When ever I wrote an offer I always said. If it was meant to be, it will happen! Your deal just wasn't meant to be. So what that means is ...... Something bigger & better for you is in your future. So be grateful and watch for your next great adventure. Love ya reseller extraordinaire!

Jeffrey, I’m so sorry you’re plans didn’t work out. Perhaps it’s for the best and there’s something more fabulous coming you’re way. I love watching you and live all of your antics. Stay strong my friend.

First, I really enjoy your videos. Second, this does not sound like a failure to me. A disappointment, maybe, but not a failure. Sometimes in business we are pulled in different directions. Learn from the down times and build yourself up better for having at least tried. And, there’s more than likely a better opportunity at a better time. It sounds like a smart business decision may have been made. My favorite quote, “keep looking out the windshield and only take a passing glance at the rear view mirror.”

Your Christmas drop in sale was fantastic, and it was always great seeing all the items you had on the shelves.. you could be open one or two days a week and make money.. or continue with your online sales or… go get a job and do this on the side… you have so many options and are in better shape than most to make decisions.. hang in there

Thank you for sharing this, Jeffrey. You were very respectful of other parties involved. Brave of you to share the struggle. Hope things pan out the way you had hoped sometime in the future.

The fact that you did well in spite of Covid is great. You will survive all this and keep up the good work. You helped me survive covid isolation. Keep your chin up. There is always a reason for things to happen.

I just recently went through a similar situation. Feeling you pain, but I pulled threw it and I'm doing better than ever. Just recently quit my day job at Goodwill and I'm a full time reseller on Ebay. Alot of my motivation came from KZbinrs like you and a Reseller I met while working at Goodwill. Hold your head up your strong willed person you'll get through this.

Had been watching your videos for over a year, but haven't seen one from you in quite a while listed on my side bar. Then this one all the sudden popped up today. I'm sorry to hear your new adventure didn't pan out, and although disappointing, I'm sure you will bounce back. The building looks great, and you have all that space that's affordable enough for you to keep to start a new adventure on your own....so go get them shelves filled! I wish you all the best!

[@heathervillegas1565]

Okay no more click bait Jeffrey 🤣You had me worried. We all love you and are here to support you and we will keep on showing up on Friday to purchase your goodies 🤗 Thank you for all the fun content 🙂

[@trenawarner4566]

It is only through failure that we gain the knowledge to do better next time. I do not view you as a failure at all. You are a very capable, knowledgeable, and hard working person and should be so proud of all your accomplishments. I’m sorry for your disappointment but keep your head high and you will be ready for your next adventure. 😊 Your porch floor looks great! You didn’t have to point out the flaws and be so critical of your efforts. At least you accomplished a very time consuming goal and I’m still here sitting on my butt. Good job Jeffrey!

[@tcurry1531]

I am so sorry for your loss in going forward with a new adventure. I hope that you can put it all back together and be successful in whatever you do. I have really enjoyed your streams.

[@kikilola2954]

I'm so sorry your venture didn't work out. I've been there. There is something else amazing in store for you and you needed this experience to give you the wisdom to help you succeed. You are not back at square one even though it may feel like it. Good vibes being sent your way!

[@KelliBronxGirl]

Your business did NOT fail ! There are powers that be and I truly believe things happen for a reason, and become blessings in disguise. There will always be more opportunities for you to chase. I hope you can share more details later on because I would love to know what your adventure was and I am nosey ! Lol. 😁

[@user-Annie65]

Wishing you much success on whatever path you take. My mom always told me that God closes a door so another can be open. I believe that things happen for a reason . I always love your videos. You have a great sense of humor. Best wishes

[@witchofstonycreek4550]

I know it's disappointing and that is a grieving process. You are a smart bussiness person and much better options are still to come....not a failure at all.👍💞

[@patriciadelisle2189]

Good Morning Jeffery! I would say you are very fortunate! You have dodged a huge bullet for a (new to you) business. To me it is interesting that you just found out about this $178,000.00 repair at the 'midnight hour'. Take that as experience for the future! Your costs were negligible in the big picture. It is disappointing ~ however the future of forging ahead might of been a catastrophe! This way you can carry on & make enough money from your business to cover all your expenses. The right opportunity will come along. I too have investigated other businesses & have had to say no. Also I knew at the time I was best as a solo entrepreneur. Stay 'positive' & enjoy the summer ~ drinking iced lemonade & relaxing on your renovated porch! Patty 💕🌸🤗 Alberta 🇨🇦🍁

Barb always has your back. You might think of doing something with her.👍

I'd love to but her schedule is absolutely ridiculous lol.
