    I can relate to a lot of this man. Things will get better brother. You’re awesome for being real and transparent.

    Mike, in a world of fakes, it’s refreshing to here someone who is real. Thank you for always being transparent and real. I’m confident you’ll come thru this being ‘stretched’ and successful on the other side, as others have stated as well. Hang in there brother….we stand with you.

    Sorry to hear what you're going through Mike! Unfortunately it happens sometimes and you come out better on the other side! You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs since you are very transparent and real about everything. Take all the time you need so you can come back refreshed!

    Hello Mike, I’ve been a business owner (happily unemployed) for over 18 years. Unless you’ve gone through what you’re going through, you can’t understand for sure. You are an incredible storyteller and content creator or you wouldn’t have the committed following. I still have times when I think “what have I done?” but keep plugging along. I’ve had some interesting business dealings that drained me mentally but woke up after I got over the shock and realized it was a blip in the road. Life is great my friend. You have incredible vehicles and following supporting you. Looking forward to the excitement coming from your future videos. Take care my friend. You’re not alone.

    Mental health is more important than worrying about uploading a car review . When you feel up to it we will all still be here supporting you man!!! I just know everything is gonna work out 😀

    Mike, I can certainly relate. I think this is why it is so important you start thinking about building a business. Providing a service as a sole practitioner is not really a business. It is more like providing a service or selling insurance. Business is an excuse to be in relationship with others utilizing their combined talents to create organized leverage. If you go down for a period, your time invested in those people that work for you will allow your organization to keep going. You don't want to create mini-yous, but instead a group of people that combined can replicate what you do. If something happens to you, it probably won't do as well, but it should be able to keep generating.

    I actually just found this channel today and I have been watching videos. I think I had watched the loud C63s coupe video before, which is how I found it again. I have been dealing with dizziness and vertigo since February 9. Doctors can't figure out why. I suspect it could be vestibular migraine, but I am not sure. My blood pressure has been higher than usual because of this problem, and my pills are working less. I finally had my game channel successfully join youtube partnership in January or early February, and of course of all these health problems happen, and it has slowed me down. I also missed two weeks of work with my job when symptoms first happen. It seems like whenever things are going good and I am on a major breakthrough, something comes and stops me. This has happened repeatedly in my life.

  • @Lucid-Visions
    @Lucid-Visions Год назад +18

    You are absolutely the realist most humane person I watch on RUclips the one who I can genuinely connect to that doesn’t make me feel like everything is scripted. You are an absolute gem and whatever you’re going through you’re gonna be fine you will make it through. Just hang in there.

  • @Davit_Archvadze
    @Davit_Archvadze Год назад +43

    Dude, I've been constantly googling what happened with you for the past 2-3 weeks. Glad to see you in good health. You need to feel the strength of the RUclips family. Give us cases(you can change fields and names obviously) where you need help or advice, you still can't imagine how diverse your community is and what it can. ))

    Hi Mike......I'm 64 and I am battling mental illness as well. You video hit home with me. Regardless of what you hear, people just don't understand or except when you go through a tough spell. I really do enjoy your videos and yes I miss them, but what's more important is you. I hope you find your passion once again and not only tell you story but feel good about telling it. Thanks for sharing and take care of yourself.

    Yeah I understand you Mike.
    I've been broke the entire year, because I went through a breakup from a 7 year relationship, right in the beginning of January.
    It affected me so badly that I wasn't fit to teach. I teach online, so I can't exactly work if I'm not in a decent enough state of mind. I'm way better now, so I've been back at it for the last 2 weeks.
    Hope you get better too and to anyone else who's going through it.

    I subscribed to your channel because you always seemed like a genuine guy and kept it 💯. This is just another video that shows that. It’s tough to show vulnerability and tell people when things don’t work out. But just know a lot of us out there can relate and it’s ok to feel like 💩 for a bit and take time for yourself. You don’t owe us anything most of us will still be here when you are ready to make videos again

I don’t see that kind of quality in a person very much.

    Mike, This is the third video I’ve seen of yours and I must tell you that you ABSOLUTELY have a gift! You’re great at shooting videos. Your a natural. A couple of things I can say if you don’t mind that helped me when I mentally get stuck. First, remember your why. Why are you shooting these videos. Two, what is your purpose? You must get refocused and dialed back in. You’ve made it this far so congrats. Lastly, ask yourself better questions. Don’t entertain questions that will ultimately give you self destructive answers. I’d even recommend asking your followers questions as to what topics you can speak about or make Q&A video once a month. Anyhow, I hope this helps. You’ve got my sub and I’m a new loyal follower as of now. Good luck and Let’s Get this Done!

    Keep your head up and persevere! The old saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is very true. You’ll learn a lot from whatever it is you’re dealing with, and you’ll be smarter/stronger moving forward as a result of this experience. Keep your head up an take another step forward - good times are on the horizon. This is always the case for those who have been truly successful.

    The tire issue may not be the tire - it could be the valve stem / TPMS, the bead seat so dismount / mount the tire or the wheel may have a crack in it that you do not see.

    I’m sure you’ll never see this, but about 10 years ago I approached a man who worked for a medical supply company about opening a medical supply company of our own. He was underpaid and under appreciated where he was. He was to run the business front to back and I was financing it. Things were going VERY well! At least that’s what the reports were telling me that I later found out he was falsifying and selling equipment with a cash discount and pocketing the money. He stole everything and left me with nothing to show for it except for an empty store, new custom delivery vans, and debt. He got a slap on the wrist, moved out of state, and believe it or not, started an automotive channel on RUclips. He’s a real piece of shit! Business deals can go bad. I quickly realized, dwelling on it helps nobody and I know the universe will give him exactly what he deserves in due time. Things will get better(from experience) and I find a bit of comfort in knowing that real success will never come to those who don’t try.
