DEBT is NOT a Threat | Ashville Weekly ep176

[@CURVEDGLASS123]

The transparency of the workings of Daniel's business is awesome... and entertaining. Brilliant Channel.

[@jamiebiddleston-vk5ng]

Shame he doesn’t tell us why it was necessary to liquidate 2/3 Ashville companies and owe a couple of million to creditors 🤷‍♂️

When yer no at minimum wage level ye will understand. @@jamiebiddleston-vk5ng

[@BlacksmithBets]

@@jamiebiddleston-vk5ngprobably because all businesses also have failures and struggles, most businesses fail and it’s not all sunshine and rainbows but openly discussing things like that would put the business in danger as customers and partners may mistakenly believe the business is in danger of bankruptcy so refuse to work with them which can kill a healthy business. Most large businesses have had similar problems while growing and give away masses of equity or sell off parts of the business. I do t understand why people are so keen to see others fail and make everything be negative.

Daniel, I greatly appreciate your efforts in making such quality videos! The content in your videos exhibits the highest level of dedication and commitment in the construction industry. It is a prime example of how to run construction and construction-related businesses. I am genuinely enthused and intrigued by what you do, and I find an unlimited supply of motivation and inspiration in your videos for building and growing my business. I've been watching your videos for years, and it's people like you, Mr. Ashville, who truly understand what it means to be honest and hardworking and positively reinforce the construction industry. You are the definition of a leader and a pioneer. I look up to you and thank you so much for all you've done and continue to do! It's Saturday morning, I'm in the office, and I'm working on building my business bigger and better than ever! (I hope you don't mind if I borrow your mantra :)

[@GenaF]

Daniel converted that lovely container into his office with everything just how he wanted it, styled in black with every black matching accessory. I cannot believe he wants to upgrade already.

[@martinjenkins1827]

Daniel never stops moving forward

[@patrykadamiak7570]

[@mrunknown164]

Because you have a limited mindset that’s why you won’t get it

[@ivator]

@@mrunknown164 He didn't say he didn't get it. He said he can't believe he's upgrading so fast. Because fo your lack of understanding you won't get it.

You should turn the business insights, like your debt discussion, into shorts. These are awesome lightbulb moments.

[@SvenZenith]

100% agree. So many youtubers say shorts are better anyways (whether it be for growth or income)

[@joggingmixlondon6895]

Morning Daniel, Everyone. The improved camera quality was noticed and appreciated. Congrats on your nomination ‘Best Debut Presenter’🎉 Looking forward to findings re. Water H2O purifier standalone; as well as the upgraded container offices, plus plans for the existing and the Yard. Have a great week ahead Daniel, everyone😊❤

[@GenaF]

I concur 😁

[@GorillaDev417]

Making my Sunday morning great! I used to work in construction (Stucco and Stone) and have since graduated college and have become a Software Engineer for the last 5 years now. I sometimes miss the construction world. The camaraderie, feeling of a days work well done, etc. I do not miss the danger (scaffolding related mainly) and pay. Have thought numerous times of starting up a small business offering construction services but think this type of endeavor takes more focus and dedication than what I imagine a small side hustle requiring. Until a decision is made on what I decide to do with that, I watch Daniel for inspiration. Thanks for the content man!

[@grimenmeartist]

Since I've started watching Ashville I've always thought the award he had just been nominated for in this episode is well deserved! The man's got knowledge, he's well spoken and the business is blooming thanks to him and the team he chooses to surround him self in. I work in construction and this is by far my favourite channel and presenter

[@tidgney]

I know that feeling with software, I usually get told we are getting some software out of no where I'm like how does it communicate to X, Y and Z... Its funny when I'm in system aquirement meetings and I can really dig into the external software, the results is that I want X while others want Y. Sometimes you have to fight to say X will be better long term because it integrates with all the other systems even though Y may look prettier or they say they can do everything (Usually it can't do the majority of things or it can in certain scenarios). Really enjoyed that comment you made about the systems though (I'm an MI and Business Intelligence lead which is why it hits home)! Great video as always!

[@DarkAngel-oq5ox]

Looking forward to seeing your new, converted offices and the finished, refurbed house project. Keep up the good work.

[@TheFarrryan]

Morning all.Daniel have you considered an ultra short throw projector for the cinema build at the refurbishment project. Could be a good solution to this type of room going forward

[@LordBeezy18]

Loving the weekly as per. Intrested to see the installation and findings of the water filter. Keep doing your thing Daniel 💙👍. Also Terry rinsing was you 😂. Terry is quality

[@Gr33nMamba]

If the projector is an issue, Have you considered a short throw projector, such as VPL-VZ1000ES. Alternatively, the cost of OLED or Quantum LED screens at this size is becoming justifiable. I'm in no position to say what is the right solution for your client but perhaps it's worth not defaulting to a Projector for something be considered a Cinema Room on future considerations.

[@Thomo27]

for the projector - could you move it forward? another option (cost dependant) is that a few TV companies have started selling 115" TVs :D - could forgo the projector and just put in an actual monstrous TV

[@kevc922]

Sundays done right 😊🎉❤

[@1rguk]

Cant wait to see the new office sounds epic. An observation about windows on three sides - if it is butted up again the board room surely wont you see just the boardroom wall or into the boardroom?

[@daikennett]

Whoever made the colour-in of terry fishing -- awesome where can we get them. "Terry's tiny tackle box" lmao. Great ep again guys!

[@amogrows]

I heard RO wastes water. I looked into it about 15 years ago. RO then steam distilled, then adding minerals back into the decontaminated water is a lengthy process but you get "good" water at the end of it.

[@MalcolmCrabbe]

Modern RO units run around 4:1, so for every litre of RO water four is "wasted", but if you collect the "waste" water it can be used for other things such as watering garden plants, filling toilet cisterns etc. However I would not recommend drinking anything more than water after the membrane (3rd stage) as further stages remove so much from the water that when drunk will draw calcium etc from the body and thus over time cause further health issues.

[@akadare1]

Hi Dan, I was wondering if you had considered a water distiller for your water purification system. All dissolved particles, good and bad are removed. The beauty of it is you can then add the good stuff back

[@thatstory1092]

Great breakdown of business building. I suppose Risk calculation also comes into taking on debt. I love your videos and I hope all the success you strive for you get, along with happiness. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@davidwormleighton2839]

Hi Daniel loving the content and your enthusiasm as usual, just a thought, you no how you used to do the Michael O’Donavan segment which was always good value, why don’t you do a for what it’s worth two pence segment of information every other video or something, prefixed with a two pence coin !!! Just an outside of the box thought 😀 take care and stay safe David 👍👍

You may need a finer from the water board to your main connection to the water board. As you will be amazed at the amount of grasses and seeds you will get in your water 0:53

Morning to everyone at ashville me and my partner have just moved into a lovely house which is about 100 years old. Watching Daniel is are Sunday ritual with tea toast and orange. So this is are first time doing watching here in bed. We ve already done lots of work to the place. Taking alot of lessons from Ashville about quality and getting it right!. Keep working hard and smashing it guys

[@myronsmith2114]

I wish he would spend more time on the construction sites or do more construction stand alone videos with more details

[@thisisashville]

Congratulations on your new home 👊

[@SjoerdD248]

19:21 I usually don't get involved in commenting about 'you do this wrong, you do that wrong blah blah...'. HOWEVER: as an engineer specialized in custom lifting equipment, this shot kinda hurt lol. Lifting chains should NEVER be used with a top angle of more than 120 degrees, no matter how little the weight is. The forces in those chains when they are near horizontal will scare the pants of you. Obviously, feel free to ignore this comment, just giving a tip. I've seen chains break like that and it's not a pretty sight.

[@colbygurney]

I believe there is GOOD Debt and BAD Debt, keep smashing it brother 💪

[@myronsmith2114]

Bad debt is debt that’s not making you any money or growing your business. Like buying or leasing office space then everyone decides to work from home

[@colbygurney]

@@myronsmith2114 I like your analogy but does depend on the situation with that one I think about taking a loan out to go on a holiday. That's bad debt, like you said just taking a loan out for something that's not going to give you a return in the future for your business.

[@myronsmith2114]

@@colbygurney Don’t think about taking a loan out for a vacation . Put cash aside for that . The interest rate alone will kill any fun you thought you might have on said vacation

[@myronsmith2114]

@@colbygurney When you go to work your selling your skills so that’s your product. So if you take out a loan to improve that skill like more education now your marketable skill is advanced so that product is worth more money. So that’s good debt

[@colbygurney]

A loan for holiday would be bad debt taking a loan out to pay for office space that would then generate you more cash through sales and marketing and up production I wouldn't see that as bad debt

[@charleynewell6604]

Sticking a new watermains pipe to the pool house only increases the flow if the flo is coming out the ESV/ mains otherwise you just sticking a new pipe in for no reason?

Hey Daniel love the videos I love hearing about the business growing weather it be new lorry’s and machines or new containers, I was just wondering u mentioned some time ago about sending inert muck out on the train as it leaves your yard and I remember you got the LH60 buckets designed for that still wondering if that’s still a plan and also about running containers into ur yard. Love the videos keep up the good work

Great video Daniel, didn’t know you were from the Caribbean I’m from Trinidad and Tobago no wonder I resonate with you so well. Keep it up 👏🏾

[@kevinkerr2704]

Daniel, why can you not use hopper train carts and portable conveyor to unload train. It would be a lot cheaper then running the Lh60.

[@tunnel7]

Option 2 opposite wall for light please Dan. I bet that's your new House en it???. Cheers Dan.

[@danielscott7278]

Hi Daniel, given your expansion plans for a batching plant etc. Have you considered a bottom discharge facility for trains with a conveyor into bays. Ive watched one at Day aggregates in Purley and it seems so much quicker than a manual offload. Food for thought, keep up the good work....
