@@LifeOfBurch If anybody knows the amount of work that goes into making a successful KZbin channel, it's another KZbinr. I have and full time job, and I take 3 nights off a week where I see my girlfriend. The rest of the time is KZbin or other social media to build my presence. It's crazy 🤣🤣

[@LifeOfBurch]

@@Foodgeek people honestly don’t realize how much work it is!! Especially with a motorcycle channel where everything is weather dependent and you need to be able to have flexibility on the days where it’s nice enough to film. It’s a struggle, but SO worth it! 🙌🏻

This channel will be so much more lucrative than a server gig in the long run. I was in a very similar situation when i restarted school full-time. Took a pay cut in the short term, but im making close to 10x as much as i was as a server now. Keep it up, homie. Were all rooting for u

You’re definitely going to make it big and just to be where you’re at right now is inspiring and motivating for me to see. You got this.

[@pouchy400]

This is my first time watching your video. I like motorcycles , so I subscribed. Hope to bing watch your videos this weekend

[@mattmershon3542]

I’m a retired restaurant owner and I would say ,( and obviously I’ve only heard your side of this story) , but with that caveat, I’d say that they were being quite pig headed and lost a good employee. Good luck with all your future endeavors.

[@werdaskirata5694]

@Jip Jackson it's weird, some people think work should dictate your life..... So just because a Manager says, come at this time where you normaly are not scheduled you have to come? And yes, changing the time of an upload can have a big impact (Yay, KZbin Algorithm /s)

[@fat_biker]

The odd thing is, if you've got an employee who knows what they are doing, is good at their work, makes themselves available inside certain time parameters, & won't moan if they don't get 6 shifts a week because they don't need to be a server to pay the rent, surely they are an ideal flexible employee? Were they paying him because they wanted to do control freak shit, or because they found it useful to have him around as a server 2 or 3 days a week? What do they gain by forcing him out?

[@smokesandalloy9487]

Control is more important than productivity for some. That and/or jealousy that some others can make a living doing what they enjoy. Normally 3 strikes but this is special... A clear bias against the type of business conducted apart from the other job.

It sounds like that door closed for you to open the door to a full-time channel. Sorry it happened but this sounds like an opportunity to make your KZbin dreams come true! Go for it!

Scrim scheduling, weekly meetings with coaches, player meetings, practice's, organizing events, organizing matches, social media, everything. I was working 18 hour days (4am-10pm) for a year. I eventually had to give it up because yeah, folks didn't quite understand just how much goes into the back end and unless you can have the support staff behind you to do it, it all falls onto you. Good luck to you dude, and thanks for the great content.

Yea I did. Everything is expensed that can be. As a server literally zero taxes get taken out throughout the year, so a refund was never a possibility, just the hopes of owing as little as possible 😅 definitely looking into LLC side of things now that I’m taking this full time! 🤘🏻
