    I feel your pain mate.
    Life's hard lessons are like scars - they may fade but never disappear. They're constant reminders of our past, shaping us into who we are. Each scar, a story of resilience and growth, teaches us something invaluable. They're not just marks of pain, but badges of learning and becoming better. Embrace these scars, for they are the true teachers of life, guiding us towards wisdom and strength.
    You will go on to even greater things! Looking forward to following your journey. 👊

    Let that bad experience make you stronger, tern that pain into a positive. About 15 years ago, a big cock up by a receiver who was winding up a company I was doing work for , lost all my gear, and equipment, what I built up over the years. Your name it I had it. I'm talking £1000s . But I've been building my gear up again I wasn't going to be beaten. Your like me your only happy when your got a piece of cable and some side cutters in your had. It's good to see you back

    The loadout brand would be good to continue on as your youtube branding & for your electrical contracting business, as you share so much expertise on here that associates well with such branding. The tool reviews alone are worth the watch, even if you no longer participate in any cutthroat retail anymore. You know what works well & know what those in the field use & pay attention to and can back said products with confidence. A true expert you are which is what keeps RUclips relevant for many.

    As the saying goes when one door closes another door opens mate and that’s how you have got to look at it sometimes. Just got to be positive and for your skills your easy worth 8-10k a month and that’s without your misses working. Enjoy your time with your family over Xmas and come back new year with that new motivation. 👊

    Shame to see loadout go, I went on there to buy something a couple of weeks ago and saw the page. I fully get it though, I've been through that tough thing of closing down a business that is eating your life for no profit it's no fun but you are coming back to a trade you love and that you are sh*t hot at. I know you'll have felt the pressure lift already, keep the faith and you'll be golden a few months from now 😁

    I started as an electrical testing & commissioning engineer, started since 2020 until this year 2023. Worked with full honest, quality, integrity, woke up at 6-7am until past dinner time for most of the days on site. I used to be passionate about what I do. But now seeing how it destroys my mental/physical health worries me. The annual pay growth isn’t colorful as I thought. I don’t spend alot on clothes, I don’t buy flashy cars, I don’t own a house yet, single. I could barely support myself. So I quit. But to be honest I still misses the time doing it., I appreciate the stuffs I learnt throughout these years. I can totally relate what you’re going through Mike, prioritize your health and your family, and move on ! Wish you all the best !

    Great to have you back. I loved Loadout and was gutted when it ceased. What you created was brilliant and stylish and felt like being part of a community. I still wear my Loadout hoodie with pride, but really look after it now ‘cause I can’t get another one. 😢
    I can’t wait to see your new videos, really hope you do some more movie stuff - they were hilarious!
    Thanks again.

  • @adrianraith3831
    @adrianraith3831 6 месяцев назад

    This sounds eerily similar to my dad's story (albeit he was in the leather trade); setting up a factory, the long hours, the pay, undercut by cheap imports that he couldn't compete with and eventually made the business non viable. In his words, the biggest mistake was trying to keep it going (that was mostly out of loyalty to the staff that worked there).
    Keep on keeping on.

    Good to see you back at the helm of doing what you enjoy but it's great to know your (and family's) health and well-being is intact after Loadout. Kudos for having a crack at it during seriously difficult times and being up against ridiculous margins and the non-CE counterfeits. Even more kudos for making the tough - but right - decision for you and yours. Onwards and upwards fella, looking forward to the next one. 👊

    Sad to see Loadout closed, found out when I went to do an order. Running a business of that nature is completely different to the contracting side of things so mad respect to you for giving it a go. Probably good that you realised there were issues and took the decision to close before it becomes a much bigger problem. All the best to you and your family for the future.

    Jeeez Mike i found out yesterday that Loadout was no more. That is such a shame and i’m really sorry to see this. Keep going mate and like you said the channel will now thrive from the dedication you will put into it. It was one of the best Electricians Channels on youtube as it was so imagine now with the extra time you will put into it where it will potentially go.
    Please just one word of advice....don’t let the subscriber numbers target get in the way of your fantastic content as it seems to have done with other channels on here especially turning the channel into a gloating tool sponsorship fest. Your stuff is super interesting and to the point. So long as you keep it varied an engaging the sky is the limit for you mate!
