I don't think Josh failed. He tried something, learned a lot of lessons, and then decided it wasn't for him. That's a success in my books. It was honestly brave to pivot and be ok with change. He should be proud of himself.
This is absolutely correct!
So true
I wholeheartedly agree!! Trying something new is never a waste
Please be very careful with your words Megan! Josh is definitely not a failure!
Great to have options!
Good for Josh to not allow the word "failure" to describe his life. He will find his gifts flourishing. May kindness flow in their home.
No fail! The passive-aggressive put downs are not okay. The man has revealed his heart and what he is meant to do so there lies his purpose. Congratulations Josh and best wishes.
Omg she did not put him down!
This was so painful to watch. It made me look at how I speak to my husband, my tone and the words I choose. She speaks over him and puts him down and has to control the situation. Saying your husband is a failure on RUclips is appalling. Lesson learned…. I want to do better ❤
It doesn’t seem *kind* to assign the word “failure” repeatedly to your husband. He took a sabbatical from construction for a year and now he’s back at it. I think trying to make changes to better yourself and your situation shows growth and maturity. I wish you both the best in 2024!
Time spent learning is never wasted. Never. I'm guessing Josh learned about working with a boss and a team, working with the public, running a retail business (he mentioned that), and more. He surely learned about himself which is most important. Bravo for trying something new, something out of your comfort zone for a while. I consider that a significant success. Kudos to Megan for supporting Josh in his endeavors.
That's right.
I hope this experience teaches him better ways to run a business, tobgrow his business, and employ many employees. ♥️
Yes
We own a restaurant and have 45 employees. Our employees always come and go, but the ones who go on to own their own business especially are our jewels in our crowns! We love and support them in advice and direction. They carry a portion of our values wherever they go.
@@anneofhearts I love that. Also, Josh left on very good terms which is huge.
I agree with Josh..there are no failures-there are only results. Happy 2024 to the Fox family!
Josh is so humble and I'm so glad he tried something new for awhile. No man working a job to support a family is a failure. ❤ And my husband is similar in that he grew up in a family business. He got tired of it and branched off for a bit... now he's the sole owner of the family business. Never would have guessed but God's plan and timing is perfect.
I applaud Josh for trying a new career, learning about running a business, deciding that that particular career isn't for him. He can take what he learned, apply it to his construction business and do bigger and better things. He did not fail!
Josh went on a new adventure and learned new skills in food service…I always thought Josh should get back to construction because its where his skills are. Your skills from age 15 are so valuable. We have a shortage of construction workers in Wisconsin. Josh, you are also an amazing father with all your children including your baby. Wishing you the best Josh in everything you do. I enjoyed you coming on the live today. Thank you! God has a plan for you.
Agreed
I agree with Josh. He did NOT FAIL !!! he tried something that he was willing to try. He did it,he accomplished it, at the end he knew it wasn't his calling. He is NOT a FAILURE. when women try something and things don't work out no one calls them failures, we say that Failing would be never trying new things in life. it seems that Josh is a level headed man with ambition, he found that he really lived Construction. And like he said, no one knows what God has for him, maybe one day he will want to be a truck driver... he hasn't FAILED you as a husband, he didn't fail as a Dad. So in my humble opinion he is NOT a Failure. You both are a wonderful couple with a beautiful little family. 🙏🙏
That is so mean !!! Josh did not fail. Seems like he is doing everything for you and your family. NEVER shame anyone for trying something new, this is actually a great learning lesson for you and your family. Do not ever be afraid to try something or be ashamed it did not work out.
Josh did not fail. He had the courage to try something different. You are awesome Josh.
I agree with Josh - it’s never failure when you see lessons learned. He’s a keeper for sure!
I just had baby #6 at almost 44 years old! 😂 Our kids are also spaced out. If we had started sooner, we probably would have had more! I can't imagine a sweeter life.
Josh did not fail! He now has TWO sets of extremely marketable skills. Keep learning and growing!
Experiance is never a fail, we are always learning. Good for you Josh
I agree with Josh. His short term job was not a failure. It was an opportunity that God interjected into his life to learn more business sense. I feel we should never look at these changes at failures. Just redirection and refocus. And I hope that with your kids you keep positive influences rather than a failure mentality.
Josh it is good to hear you are back to what you enjoy doing most. The time you spent on the other job for the 8 months was a time to rest from construction and now you are reenergized to get back in. My husband is in construction and people are looking for good, hardworking, knowledgeable and full of integrity construction workers. God has gifted you in this area and your skills. God’s plans are never wrong.
His a good man...I would say be kinder to him ❤
I agree failure is not the right word :) You needed a change tried something new and still provided for your family! ❤
Not a "FAIL" at all! Learning and experiencing new things is NEVER a fail!
Josh didn't fail he just realized where his true passion and skills were. I applaud him for taking the chance and trying something new. Btw last time we were in Lancaster, we ate at September Farm and food was delicious, trailer happened to be there that day and we tried their donuts, they were out of this world delicious. Love to all of you. Have a blessed evening.
Failure has two definitions. In my brain (I’m a teacher, and I know Megan was by trade before children), I associate the second textbook definition, which is “the omission of expected or required action”. No, Josh did not lack success in his endeavor (the other definition), but the plan was probably to stay with the new venture longer than he did. Thats how I interpreted the word when Megan said it. Anyone who regularly sets goals, and continually self-evaluates probably does not see failure as a negative thing. Just wanted to add another perspective, and give clarity and encouragement to. It’s ok to “fail”, it’s the best way to learn!
If you don't try you will never know. You have a good head on your shoulders, Josh. Best wishes for 2024.
I truly enjoy seeing Megan’s updates. But not sure saying Josh failed is very supportive. I think she’s too hard on Josh publicly.
If the genders were reversed, we'd call it abuse.
Thank you, Josh, for chatting with us! It's not a failure to participate in a mutually beneficial project for a year and then go back to your other work. You learned new skills that you can carry forward into your business and you have an ongoing relationship with your former employer. That's a win-win. A friend of mine has his own remodel/handyman business and he works Tuesday through Friday. He takes Mondays at home; it's his office day to do all the paperwork.
"Date nights" can be overrated. People put that out there as a "must" for a healthy marriage, and it's not. As long as your partner & relationship are prioritized and you're connecting, "dates" are not necessary.
I agree 100%! Communication is the key, not date nights.
Not starting being "kind" off very well by telling your husband he "failed". I don't think ANYONE would think or believe his taking a huge jump and change in his career is a "fail". Good luck in 2024. Way to be Josh! sp
I don't think she was telling him he was a failure at all... she was not sure of the proper term to use that's why she looked to him when she said that and he helped her out by explaining how they truly felt about it... and she was in total agreement❤
She's a horribly abusive spouse.
I’m a mom of 2 who has a full time job/career outside my house (or I will, when I go back from maternity leave 😅) and I think you are a career woman! I mean that in the best way possible, but you have a shop, a successful RUclips channel, and podcast! That’s a career 🎉! Everyone should find what works for them! Also for anyone “older” (like me 😅), I got married when I was 26, and had my two kids at 31 and 35, and I’m very happy with that, and when I had my first baby I felt super confident about it! I hope to have one more, if God wills it! So just fodder for anyone who is pondering their life.
Agree, no failure in any way shape or form! Lessons learned are wonderful!
I’m with all the other commenters… I don’t see what Josh did as failure at all! Life is all about experiences and doing what is right for you at specific times in your life. They say very few people stay in one job or career for their whole life these days and it’s definitely true for me and most of my peers (I’m 40).
I have been married 30 years and we don't do date nights regularly. When I was young it was a guilt thing, everyone did it, everyone said you have too do it and I often pressured my husband into going out. But here is the thing, we are not everyone. We do what works for us and you do what works for you. Enjoy your coming year and all the changes.
Kind is my word for 2024!
I always appreciate the insightful reflections Josh has when he has the space to talk to us. I admire your growth mindset!
Yep. Go with the word kind for 2024.
Wonderful time spent with you and Josh. Happy 2024
i grew up amish in Somerset County, 5 miles from the Flight 93 Plane Crash! But i was only 8 months old when it happened on 9/11.
Then 2 years ago my younger brother and i left the amish, now we live in Lancaster County as well! He drives milk truck for PL Weaver, which is kinda cool since we grew up on an organic dairy farm and he also picked up our milk. But my brother can’t do theirs since we’re shunned. So hearing Josh consider trucking was interesting!!
i actually went with him on Christmas Eve into Christmas Day afternoon, on the milk truck to pick up milk with him; and that’s when the Christmas spirit really hit. Being together, exchanging gifts in the truck, singing along with Christmas songs, coffees, eating snacks the farmers left for us - - it was such a great time!
Merry Christmas!
Just an uplifting family and perspective, tysm for the time it takes to share with us
thank you for sharing about kindness • I think that should be my word for 2024 - especially with my family ❤️
What a lovely update! Here's to welcoming the new year with good visions Lord willing 😊❤
Josh didn’t fail at all. It was a great opportunity and sounds like he learned a lot. With all respect I think this would have been a great opportunity for Megan to practice “kindness” towards her husband and not keep telling him he failed. Anyway love your family and your videos! They are always so inspiring and encouraging. Happy 2024 Fox family!
May God continue to bless you through 2024❣️
Congrats Josh! Having your own business is hard but rewarding work. The word failure was used several times and I totally agree with Josh that it should never be used in conjunction with the change that you are making.
I've picked up so many great tips from this! Thank you, I'll definitely be making a vision board for 2024 with key words to remind me to be intentional and enjoy where I'm at. Also definitely going to be setting aside designated date days/nights with my husband as we're not in a busy season so we could definitely be more on the ball with enjoying our time with each other.
Megan, Josh didn’t fail her tried something new and fells he is better suited for construction work , he is a hard work and you and your family are blessed to have a good provider.
Blessings to your sweet family! Sending love and prayers for your family for 2024!
My word for the new year is growth! Growth in myself, family,faith,and life.
I love how you guys work and communicate together. May God continue bless your family ❤
Wonderful that Josh has rediscovered his passion
10 books!! That’s awesome!! I read Jill’s didn’t read jingers yet. Way to go you did a great job😊
Thank you for the great video! The encouragement to reset and make goals for the new year! 👍 we have 5 children ages 10 - 18 months and mom life is very real 😄... one of my goals for the next year is too truly enjoy my calling in life and embrace each season! ~Lois
I am praying you, Josh and the kids have a beautiful and healthy new year. And God bless the new baby.
At one point in our marriage, my husband quit his job and started his own business. It did not work out but it was a wonderful learning experience and gave us a lot more time to do church duties. I don't think most things that don't work out should ever be considered a failure.
I agree with there is no failure with trying new things and finding what works best for you. Josh did not fail!
Intentional is my word this year
sending you my love, Megan! Your videos give me peace and my life is not always peaceful. Bless your family. Oh, and I love your planners, got one!
Good job Joss. You are returning to something you enjoy and are good at. I think you are handling this well. Blessings in the new year.
My word for 2024 is harmonious. Just throwing that out there. It seems to go good with where you’re headed.
Life is a learning curve. ❤️💙💜
Best wishes for a super 2024. Megan, you are a joy to watch. I am so not the demographic you aim your videos at but appreciate the content and life lessons, your vulnerability and reality, the expressions of faith and all the joy. I also had the pleasure of introducing myself as a viewer to Josh at the donut trailer; he is a gem. Thanks for all the effort and work you put into the videos.
Ha-ha. Nice🙂Thanks for the personal greeting. Appreciate it. Wish Josh all the best moving back into construction and am sure that the orders will start rolling in soon. Happy New Year and see you in 2024.
LOVE how HONEST and POSITIVE you guys are about the changes in life!
When we moved to our farm, my husband named it Raehaven. I love that haven was your word and your definition of it was perfect.
Great chat! Thanks for sharing! God has got your back for 2024! I agree with so many others - trying something new and discovering what you love is a successful experiment! Praise God for the margin to try something new and gain an appreciation for what you love all while learning and being a blessing to others! Congratulations Josh and I pray God will bless your business even more! Megan it is so great that you accomplished so many things on your goal board! You are a great planner and those skills will come in handy as a mom of 4!! Blessings to you all! ❤
Those pictures from Arizona were breathtaking. It's on my bucket list.
Pregnancy is beautiful on you, Megan. I hope the new year brings you so much joy and peace.💖🙏
That’s the most I’ve ever heard Josh talk. ❤
Thank You for sharing with us all - You give us all food for thought - In this busy season us Mama’s are all in - Thank You - Blessing to your sweet Family - I hope all had a Merry Christmas
My word is ‘contentment’ . Lovely chat Megan. You and Josh make a great team. God bless you both. Happy New Year from across the pond. 🇬🇧🤓🌟
Love this chat with you, Megan! ❤ I also love reading history books/biographies! Also love hearing from Josh. Best wishes for you in the New Year!
My word for the new year is intentional ❤
Thanks for the update. Hope things are more stable with your pregnancy now and you can have a smooth final few weeks before you meet your little one. ❤
Thanks Megan for all the wonderful content you have put out this year. Your correct Josh, nothing, is ever wasted in life, if God has guided us through it. Looking forward to watching the year of change for the Fox family in 2024. God bless you both and your precious family.
It takes great courage to try something different! It is so important to enjoy what you do and recognizing you needed change and need it again is courageous! Wishing your family all the best in 2024!
Hi Megan! Just want to say that I love your channel and you have blessed me so much! I am not a mennonite but I love and takeaway lots from your videos❤️ much love from WA state 🌲🤍✨
Wow, another baby Congratulations !! I have not been here for a long time !! It's all new and fresh I have been watching so many different sites I got lost !!
I am so excited for you Josh…….Pursuing your passion is such a gift!!!!! You will ALWAYS have the opportunity to go learn something new. Lots of people feel stuck and do not pursue their passion.
Good luck Josh you are a good man.
Your Coffees always look so delicious! Love how Josh embraced the changed. It's ok that he realized that it was not for him and wants to get back to what he knows.
I’m in my second planner , I had ordered 7 to give out as gifts but the people in my life have there own favorite planners so I’m keeping all of them for myself ❤
Good for you for knowing your own heart and mind, Josh! That is true maturity and wisdom. That is a super important example for your kids ❤
Yes keep in mind each time you are around the dinner table together with your beautiful family. You are making memories together.
I just love y'all! Many blessings in the new year and beyond! ❤️🙏🏻
Megan you look wonderful for being due in February. Glad to see Josh is going back to what he loves. So nice to hear both Megan and Josh talk, I don’t think he failed just got tired and it was hard by himself. My son worked for a guy who had his own business now he went to work for Amtrak and my son is having to find what he wants to do.
Change is good as it helps you appreciate what you truly love and Josh can go back to Construction with a new perspective and new skills.
I wanted to order a planner and beef tallow balm and they are all out of stock. I hope there are more soon. Best wishes for your soon to be here baby and it’s great that Josh will be doing what he feels led to do. Lots of new adventures in 2024!
We loved September Farm when we visited in November!
Best Wishes to Josh going back into construction. It’s amazing to see how God works things out exactly when we need it. Praying for upcoming doctor’s appointments. God bless your sweet and precious family! Happy New Year. 😀❤️
You are both so incredibly talented and God has his hand in all the changes. Everything in his time. I’m a Grandmom and I have learned so much from you. Thanks for sharing your sweet family with us.
LEARNING is never a FAILURE it's always a move forward!
Good for you trying something new, Josh-you’ve got a new set of skills to always fall back on. And you recognize your passion which sometimes takes years!👍🏻
Simplify is my word
Wishing you all the best in 2024, Josh. You did not fail!! Thank you for talking with such honesty on a probably difficult topic to be vulnerable about. You are doing a great job and are right where God wants you to be. You should be proud and you have so much wisdom from your experiences already. Congratulations on this new chapter in your career life, wherever it leads and whatever it maybe. 🖤
When you can do all different construction project. You are gifted person. Do what makes you happy Josh. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Immediately after you mentioned it, I went to purchase some of your tallow and it’s sold out!!! What a tease 😂 I’m happy for you though! I’ll be checking to see if you get any more. Go Megan!
Megan, you and Josh are the cutest. I'm happy Josh is going back into construction, and then when your boys are older, they can follow in his footsteps. It definitely wasn't a fail, sometimes you need to walk away from something to realize that's what you were meant to do in the long run. Every experience God gives us is a learning experience. Looking forward to all the wonderful changes in 2024! Happy New Year Megan and Josh! Happiness, love, and success always!
Such a good word on stewarding our fertility and childbearing years wisely!
I bought 2 of the new planners...my older twin sisters love to use planners so that is their birthday present. And they loved them
Loved this video. Thank you for the inspiration for the new year. Great job on 1000 Hours Outside! I track it too with their app. We haven't reached the 1000 hours goal but it's so neat to see progress on the app.
We love your beautiful family
So need that you talking open together, praying for your family
