So, about this past week...

[@lmdtm24v]

You Sir are the awesome one. You may not know me, but your strengh also inspires me to keep pushing and try to get the life I dream of.

[@OfficialSmo]

You got it dude!

[@Weeem]

Every book on success goes: "I tried, I failed, I tried, I failed, I tried, I failed, I tried, I succeeded" Center yourself, keep pushing and it'll come good. You've still got us. Just holla and you know you got free hands or experience to give :) #WeemHug

[@smokeybarr]

Amen to that! Spot on.

[@OfficialSmo]

God fucking dammit I love you.

[@wrkings]

WeeemRCB amen to that🙏🙏🙏👍😉

[@Twistedtek]

The failures in life help define who we are once we succeed. You got this man

[@cornishpastie]

You have talent and charisma, don't give up! It'll come......

[@BordersBasher]

Hey Smo I like to think you're not on your own at this moment in time. I was there a few months ago, then like a light bulb everything changed. As you said we all have our own problems some worse than other and some not. You have an awesome bunch of supporters out there and I hope they keep lifting you and your luck opens that one door very soon. Off to get some of your stickers now so I can put them on my bike and van and tour you around Northumberland seeing some amazing scenery. Take care mate and my fingers, toes and balls are crossed for you. Love you Smo.

[@buddysinsight9834]

Set out on your own Smo and rely on know one else but yourself. Everything else that you have done setting up your website and running this channel is enough skills to run a business. Spending a few years not having access to funds means that when money does start to come in you will respect it so much more to be successful. Hard times are important for us to grow. Run your own thing.

[@OfficialSmo]

That's a really good point dude. Wise words! Thanks =)

[@chrisburn9846]

We love you dude. You gotta do what you gotta do, but one day you will make it! The only time you fail in life is when you stop trying!

[@Neutronb0mb]

FIDO - Fuck It, Drive On!

[@katsugi183]

Hope things will turn around soon for you . Sending hugs and kit kats soon to you

[@OfficialSmo]

YUM!

[@2WheelSolo]

Very wise words there. I know it's a cliche but it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down; what matters is how many times you get back up again.

[@nllommertnl]

I hope this pings I care! we all care all your viewers care there are 18k people who care keep it up and do what is best for you!

[@OfficialSmo]

Yeah dude, you guys are my motivation!

[@nllommertnl]

and you are mine! 1 more year and i get my licence and my first bike !

[@CaptainRambunctious]

You know where to find me if you need me. There's always a place to stay in Aylesbury if you need it. No need for a stiff upper lip. Permission for lip to wobble, granted. TBH.... and hope to see you soon.

[@CaptainRambunctious]

Oh she is well used to my 'issues',.. ;-) It's only a very comfortable John Lewis Sofa bed mind, that I am offering... ;-)

[@draiguk]

All the best do what you gotta do.

[@adammusson9599]

You do what you've got to do dude, I'll be watching next week the week after or whenever you next upload and I'm sure everyone else will,

[@gsijimbo3572]

Keep going matey. You will be fine

[@benriley7053]

Perhaps it won't help but I was rejected 3 times for my current job. Over a period of 6 years. I was working in shops by day and on doors by night in the meantime and it was killing me but, as you have said, you gotta keep going. You've got this, Mr. Smo. I made it to a better life, you absolutely will too.

[@OfficialSmo]

Thanks buddy

[@YoureNowOnTV]

You will overcome adversity. Your an inspiration. It doesn't rain forever ;)

[@OfficialSmo]

[@MisterAki43]

Take as much time as you need mate. We understand everything that you're going through man. As you say, keep swinging until you get there.

[@charliebailey879]

Your positive attitude is an inspiration, they should changed motivation to SMOtivation

[@shaun937]

❤️❤️❤️

[@banditBrian]

take few weeks off if you need to bud. we are here.... big love Bro..keep the head up.

[@KarlTheDingbat]

One thing I have learnt over the years is, life sucks and you should just try and enjoy as much of it as you can.

[@OfficialSmo]

Very true!

[@RvPanda]

Do what you've gotta do, man. You know we'll be here when you're ready to get back at it - and we know you will. Stick at it

[@Hellishrider]

Hang in there buddy!! Keep strong, things will be better soon for sure \m/ Ride in peace

[@andreawade3723]

[@Kirkpatrick82]

[@buddybleeyes]

Love you Smo ❤ Keep going and do what you need to do :)

[@christokinieriem8796]

Right on SMO.

[@Koldsmith]

When life throws a curveball at you, just fuckin' swing right back at it man.

[@brad_Ca]

Life can certainly be tough at times and I'm definitely sending you positive thoughts as you march onward. Even though most of us have not had the pleasure of meeting you in person, we feel like we know you. We love you and support you as we can. Be encouraged Sam.

[@OfficialSmo]

Much love dude, thanks

[@cjspeed01]

I haven't watched for a very long time, and for that i'm sorry. I have some reasons, but you're a nice guy and you work hard, so you deserve all the support you get and much more. You just got to keep pushing on. Deal with what you can deal with, let the rest slide because you have no power over it.

[@OfficialSmo]

No worries dude, everyone has shit to do!

[@balancedaudio]

Smo you the man. Play those numbers baby, more push the more you'll get. X

[@nige-rider5914]

Remeber Eddison said ' I haven't failed I just found 10,000 way how not to make the incandescent light bulb' I can understand where you coming from, And a book that helped me is 'excuse me, your life is waiting, By Lynn Grabhorn, there may just be some clues in there for you.....

[@OfficialSmo]

Ha, that's a great saying!

[@nige-rider5914]

I love it and every time I have a set back I just read this and remind myself, to keep pushing through 👍

[@BickMitchum]

Hang on in there kid, when the going gets tough!!! Go for the knock out champ ! Ill openly admit it i had a rough patch few years that threw me and told i had dperession that point im making is its ok to talk dont bottle things up no matter how insignificant you think it is someone will always be there to listen. Basically were all individuals and all unique no one is the same each of us brings something different to the table than someone else, so follow your dreams and do what you want to do and don't the bastards grind you down

[@OfficialSmo]

Dude I'm awful for bottling things up, I had to be pushed to make this video! Thanks for the kind words buddy

[@BickMitchum]

[@junglejim8781]

Just work.... without it i have nothing else to look forward to. .. Ive sold my bike a few weeks ago and started saving for the next one... but suddenly feel ive lost my right arm and been left at the roadside in a social sense... It sucks but its a means to an end..

[@OfficialSmo]

Glad it worked dude, PhotoRec is ace! It's saved my bacon a couple of times now!

[@DeathsStalkerRVT]

Hang in there. I had a similar problem I had a job that sucked working with idiots and it took me 3 years to finally land a great job that I retired from. Several applications I thought were slam dunks turned out to be "they were going through the motions because they already had the person they wanted picked out. So take a step back, catch your breath and attack it refreshed.

[@OfficialSmo]

Thanks dude, just gotta keep positive!

[@crasbee]

If you want more mails of people, having bought somthing, you could... you know.... finish the new keytags :)

[@d4rkcsgo981]

You may have failed over and over what matters is you didn't give up you built such a great community when I came to watch your twitch everyone is so welcoming one of the best communities and an awesome content creator stick to it as your content makes a lot of us happy head up and carry on going my friend

[@OfficialSmo]

Dude, the community around the channel is unbelievable! I couldn't ask for better people to be surrounded by (except majorly attractive, mostly undressed women).

[@tml136]

Hey smo with out you I wouldn't gone for my module 1 training witch starts on the 9th of September I'm in the same boat jobless I've been out of work since the 8th of June 2015 chin up bud you'll get there same as me 😜

[@OfficialSmo]

Best of luck dude!

[@samasandall5581]

I'm sure you've got more to give, and i'd love nothing more than for you to give it to me.... If you feel you need another week, then take another week, chill your furry little beans. We'll all still be here... won't we? Any way, fret no more. I've just given myself a little promotion from "hero" to "saviour". I expect things to move on pretty swiftly now! Hope it helps. Cheers buddy.

[@OfficialSmo]

Thank you so, so much!

[@teapotone]

Mate you sound like you're in a dark place at the mo, life can boot you in the balls time and time again. You either lie there and let it, or you take a step back, assess what's going on around you, then attack right back, never giving in. Keep giving it your all bud, you seem a top lad and your open and honest persona is what draws folk to you. The sun will shine down on you again soon, you just need to be out in the daylight to catch the rays ;-)

[@OfficialSmo]

Thanks dude, I really appreciate the kind words! I know it'll work out in the end, it's just quite easy to lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes. Your head has to remind your eyes that it''s still there!

[@teapotone]

Smo Yep, you'd be surprised how many of your followers are going through the same crappy stuff right now, and are grateful that you are there too. The good times are coming bud 👍🙏

[@LouSkunt44]

Finding a job isn't easy man as you obviously know. You'll get there soon bud things have to get worse before they get better :) Keep up keepin' on man.

[@elguitarTom]

Essence of success is to fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail until you make. You learn so much by failing. And it wouldn't be fun if it was easy. You failed 4 times? That is NOTHING! Keep failing and you will win.

[@DaveMurphyEngineer]

I miss SMO ❤

[@MotoErgoSum]

I assume these are big opportunities that got up to the point where you got to an interview. Before I started my career in the video game industry I must have filled out at least fifty applications to game companies and sat unemployed working on my portfolio for months before saying, "F this I need a job to pay the bills." Went to work for Best Buy Geek Squad for a few months then suddenly interviews and offers started coming. Having a steady job, even if it's just a part-time gig bagging groceries or selling something creates balance for the week and brings in much-needed cash flow. It also looks better to employers who aren't d-bags because it shows you're willing to work below your pay grade when necessary (humble/sensible). After nine years in this industry I can honestly say the only thing you can't do is quit (trying, doing what you love). You might occasionally have to get a 'day job' to pay the bills, but if you're good at what you love you'll find the job you're looking for eventually, even if you have to start at an entry level position and work your way up. I have to chuckle when students show up to GDC applying for a job and think they're going to get a senior or project lead position right away.

[@OfficialSmo]

Yeah, the latter we met with twice to discuss it after a successful contract. Business is business - I'm not mad at them for not taking me on, I'm just disappointed that it didn't work out. In the fullness of time though, I know it'll come good! Interesting that you're working with Games though, I'd been working in QA for 5 years before my redundancy. I've been a Junior, Senior and Manager - let me know if anyone's required where you are ;) Thanks for the kind words dude!

[@easternmenace]

It's fine take time off. Maybe a great idea will come to mind or something

[@RevvedUpBiker]

Hang in there bro. I was waiting ages to find a fulltime job that paid well until finally the right one came along... eventually. You can get bitter and ask "Why?!" but at the end you'll know it all worked out in the end.

[@OfficialSmo]

It'll come in time dude, for sure!

[@-DC-]

Lol Smo come back hard dude!

[@inferior650riderhd6]

Saaaaaaame

[@shadowguidr7042]

This is so demotivating. Great for you, but you seem way more educated than I am and I'm struggling to even get an interview.

[@OfficialSmo]

It'll work out mate - there are plenty of things you can do way better than I could, and vice versa! Everyone has a place somewhere, it's finding that place which is the hard part.

[@gsijimbo3572]

The gloves are off!

[@jacktaylor1323]

Keep pushing on smo also would love to ride with you somewhen and get some ridding tips as I'm on a 125cc also I live on the island #keeppostive

[@OfficialSmo]

No kidding, small world dude!

[@tonypears3660]

Mate I'm not sure if you are still looking for work or what work you actually want BUT , ON THE WHEEL is a bike shop in Brighton and they are looking for someone driven to put them out there over social media, well I think that's what it will involve. Might be worth a look if you are still looking .

[@HalfdeadRider]

Dollars what are those? ;) at least you have health and people around that is all you need, I have neither or a chance to work but still try my best to enjoy just existing. We all have down days just sleep on it and try to be positive the next day.

[@OfficialSmo]

Thanks buddy

[@Petfood25]

Nice vid dude, where do you source your music from?

[@OfficialSmo]

I usually do a search on Soundcloud for music that's royalty free, then sit there for hours trying to find something I like!

[@Boiga.]

[@UKRR]

Hey. We don't see eye to eye on all matter '2 wheeled'. But hope you have a change of luck soon

[@OfficialSmo]

Thanks buddy!

[@mannydcbianco]

Man, if you need another week, two weeks, just do it man. Your real fans will still be here, I guarantee is. You need to regroup and take care of real life first. Making videos when you're depressed and not at all feeling it won't help, and the videos likely will not be good either. I've seen it on many other channels when moto vloggers are down and out and only uploading because they feel they have to, and the results are rarely good. Sure they'll get a few more views, but in the end I think they're doing themselves, the channel and their viewers a disservice.

[@OfficialSmo]

Wise words dude, seriously!

[@pags1981]

Set up your own company and go contracting, if their not interested move on to the next customer. Win :P

[@dingleberrys232]

I'm watching this pissed is anasing

[@dingleberrys232]

[@dingleberrys232]

Shit this is a very deep video to watch drunk. I love you dude

[@OfficialSmo]

Reading these comments was great, lol.

[@Motolimey]

If you need to feel better about your life and the smo-existence right now... you can have my ex-wife. That will brighten your view of Smosville... Seriously, she's all yours #GladToHelp ;)

[@chaseontwowheels]

[@justinrstone]

[@OfficialSmo]

Take me back, I'll do the dirty things Heather won't!
