I’m so sorry to hear what happened to you, just last week I was thinking, did he just lost interest in this? Now I’m so glad to have you back. Losing everything, business, apartment, collections.......that’s pretty frustrating. But hey, you still got your family with you, also a very bright future! I’m not very good at comforting, just to say, yesterday’s gone
Wow I coincidentally was just searching up your old videos for another glimpse of that VSR-10 short-barrel/Aimpoint deal last week! Maybe this was a good sign of a better future for your channel and career. I'll definitely be following along.
Wow, finally! Your videos really helped me a lot in the past, I wish I could see more and more GBB videos again!!! You could set up a patreon account and page for Airsoft material. Maybe you can treat it as your new career/work. i'll definitely support you!
You should start a go fund me. Even though you are a smaller channel I think you would get a lot of support you made great helpful vids, unfortunate that this happened to you.
@@AirsoftAfterHours Out of curiosity what would you have done differently to keep your assets from being all tied up by the business? Was it something where if you had two separate properties you could have kept your home? Or any other advice you would give to anyone who might one day be in a similar situation.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj After our experiences, we've definitely learned a lot and have set some rules that we will explicitly follow from now on. 1) Never bite off more than you can chew, now for us, this doesn't mean you don't get to eat all of your food, it just means go slower and at a pace that you can keep up with, as with anything in life don't try to scale or expand until you are more than 95% sure you are ready. 2) Never let your business strategy and process stay the same, business may be great today and was great yesterday but it won't stay that way for long, always innovative, improve and change things up. Repeat business is a key point, expanding clientele is a key goal. The day your business goes stale is the day your business ends. 3) Scaling is a major goal, so find a hole in the market and exploit it by doubling down on it, BUT DO NOT GO ALL IN. Putting almost everything down on any situation is too risky as there are infinite variables beyond your control that could hinder your venture. Sometimes, the possible outcome is so attractive that businesses are willing to take great risks, but investments should really be made with a set formula, a formula such as only investing a certain percent of capital vs risk assessed probability, always think of the outcome of both success and failure of the proposition, even if the ROI is high, factor in the obvious, that nothing is 100%. 4) Whoever you work with and whoever you hire, always have a written, signed, witnessed, legally binding document that locks both parties into an indisputable contract. 5) And the final and most important rule, the rule that in OUR OPINION cannot be broken under any circumstance, never work with related family. Thank you very much for your question! Going through this and physically typing it helped enforce it in our minds as a refresher! All the best ^^
Your VSR10 video was clutch for me.
I will always watch your content.
Thanks!

Hey I hope you bounce back. The VSR video was great just like the rest of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your kind words and support, it really means so much to me! ^^
Sorry to hear that man. Loved your Hicapa videos in the past and hope the future starts to look up for you!

Thanks a lot for the idea man! I appreciate all the help ^^
That's unfortunate to hear. What was your business? Was it airsoft related?
Adrian Lee
It was unrelated to Airsoft, at the time I was afraid that making a career out of a hobby would make me hate it. ^^
