dude, losing your job should be the best day of your life, freedom!! I would milk it for as long as you can and focus on your youtube
Kevin any advice on quitting my job and starting my own business? Fear is my biggest hurdle.
@@RcSavedMe get another income coming 1st then qiut job when your side income matches your job income
@@KevinTalbotTV working on it now ! Hoping for a breakthrough soon ! Thanks for the advice Kev. Your channel & this one are an inspiration! Keep bashing !
@@RcSavedMe thanks bro! remember, sometimes we win, sometimes we learn, failure is giving up, and giving up is a choice!
@@KevinTalbotTVYou’re the best Kev…
Big salut 🫡 to you from France
All will work out brother! Hopefully you have more time for the channels & they blow up.
_Turning any negatives around into a way that it can and will positively be of beneficial value longer term for you is exactly the mindset needed for happiness + success! You are very blessed, you have a great audience in a niche community of TH-cam that genuinely care about you, and everything is going to work itself out!_
*_The main objective.. press on, and never just give up. Not everything is doom and gloom as many people would like to think or believe that it is!_*
100% thank you!
Sorry to hear what happened Mark. Sometimes we expect the unexpected as one of my classmates used to say. They say that time is money, but money comes and goes. Each minute that passes by is a minute that we can't get back. Life doesn't wait for anybody.
Family is number 1 priority.
Better opportunities will appear eventually Mark.
Let's enjoy life to the fullest while we can.
YES SIR! thank you for the kind words!
6 months later we're going to get another vlog about how you opened your own hobby shop or something.
Yeah. That would be soo cool
🤔🤔🤞
That would be actually sick
Been there done that. I had 3 months off when I got laid off at the end of 2022 and my job found me about mid way through that. Sometimes things are meant to be and find a way of leading you into something better. Those 3 months off were wonderful and really reset me!
Hey man...finally getting around to this video. I had the same thing happen to me in February of this year. It was a rough time for 4 months to get a job again. Took a bit of mental hit because it was my first time getting laid off in IT, even after 15 years. But being just a number to corporate America kind of sucks. Sorry it happened to you but glad it happened while you were away having fun.
Hang in there Mark. I know the feeling quite well myself. In a short time, you will be on your feet again with a new and much better gig. You still have a lot of IT skills that are very remarkable and there are plenty of companies that are looking for a man of your talents. Keep those everything r/c videos coming. Peace and love to you and your family. Take care brother.
Thank you sir!
Wish I knew you were in NYC! Would have come tried to find you in the big city. Hope you enjoyed your stay and thanks for sharing a more personal moment.
Never great news, sorry to hear that Mark. Head up, big things coming for you I'm sure.
You have a really great mindset 👍🏻
I retired at 60 in 2020 from state emergency management. They were making personal cuts during COVID and I said screw it. Thanks good for RC’s!
Keep your head up Mark, you'll bounce back better, well deserved rest, supporting you throughout all times, and when one door closes, another one opens, never give up Mark, Salamat 👍
I retired at 45. I made it 3 years and couldn't handle it. I got lazy and unmotivated. I'm working again but it's not in the field I retired from and it's zero stress. It makes it different when you're working because you want to rather than have to.
Also my favorite part of New York was leaving the last time I was there and knowing I never had to go back. New York, Ohio, and Illinois are slightly below tertiary syphilis on my list of favorite things. Slightly below them is that DNC thing I almost swear I heard you mention planning to visit. Strange how this hobby can attract such polar opposites.
haha... its all good. I didnt specify the DNC being the Dirt Nitro Challenge. Im sure the non RC people will think its something totally different given the election... hahaha!
A Central Park dog? Brings back the fumunda cheese days! lol! You got this Mark! You always have brother.
Good outlook, great advice. Wish nothing but the best for you.
Its good to drop a video like this every now and then to show the real Mark we appreciate it 👍📹💯®️
I got laid off when covid hit and decided to do my own thing full time. When they called everyone back to work, I didn't need to go back. Having a much better time working for myself and have a lot of free time to enjoy my hobbies. You will do great bro, you got this!
Wishing the best for you, your a good man with a great family, you will find your way.!
Well that’s b a good way to stay positive I live in Arizona and when I was a single dad I have major gaps in my work history nobody will hire me here in Arizona I’m always looking for work and it seems like a never ending battle
I have brothers who work in IT. You're on call all the time and you do work a lot of hours. And this is why it's beneficial to live within one's means, budget, not be leveraged up to your neck in debt. Glad you have the opportunity to take some time off. Enjoy. Seems like you'll be just fine. Enjoy the channel. Keep up the good work.
I have been in IT for 26 years. I went to work for the state government. It pays a lot less but has some job security, insurance and retirement. We have contracted out several things and it did not pan out. It always cost more and less service provided. Partly because the contract did not state everything thing they expected the contractor to do. At one point Our IT Dept. needed Project managers and though a few told me I should apply I decided not to go that route. Those jobs come and go. Some of the ones that did apply are already doing something else. They were the ones I thought were top achievers and great skills so glad I stayed behind. At least they got moved to other positions. Mark I hope everything works out for you and you get your job\business in self employment you are thinking about. You never know until you try!
Believe it or not the economy is booming,markets been setting records constantly and repeatedly. It’s these politicians that want you to think it’s bad
I’ve always been a terrible employee. My timeline for advancement and desire for interesting challenges leaves me bored and disappointed with traditional jobs. Starting my own business was the best thing I ever did for myself and it forced me to learn faster which can be stressful but never boring. However, due to the economy my business had to be put on hold and I had to get an hourly job a couple months ago. I have some RC related business ideas and a 4x4 CNC machine (I’m a woodworker and carpenter) so I’m working on some product ideas that I can mass produce using my CNC machine.
Big things big dog! I know you’re gonna get it dude!!
I have time to go fishing now... lets do it... hahaha!
@@msmeveryday Idaho or Montana, your pick. Lessgo!!
NYC! Been there a time or two! My mom's side of the family is from Long Island!
I love NYC..... for about a week at a time... hahaha
That kind of news is always hard to take no matter what position you are in I think. I felt like I was on a great path myself and my company decided to leave CA after I put about 12 years into my career there. I've had other opportunities and started up again, then covid hit and found myself once again hitting that reset button. We've always been a single income home and I can say I've been lucky enough and dedicated enough to keep us that way and with minimal impact on our kids. Good for you sir and I hope the best for you and your family as well. Take Care and look forward to see what you bring next! Probably catch you at the Socal Super Show next year right?!
SoCal super show is definitely in my plans!
Dang man I pulled the trigger on my comment my bad. If I know anything about you, it's you're super resourceful and a great leader. I've seen that in person. You got this bro!
I GOT IT! THanks man!
@@msmeveryday you're welcome! 🤘
This change you probably look back on a year from now and it be a good thing.
Yup!
As a 51-year-old guy I recommend not going back to being an employee. I stopped being an employee in 2018 when I moved to Florida from Massachusetts. I have an LLC sole proprietor. I subcontract so I don’t have to hunt down customers. I found my niche and I make six figures. I call it partial retirement because I do what I want, when I want. But I still work five days a week sometimes six. But everything’s on my terms. I have very little stress and very little responsibility. It’s an easier lifestyle.
I am 90% sure this will be the path I take. There is a little more to it that I will spill when the time is right. Thank you for your story it is very encouraging.
@@msmeveryday thanks for sharing so much of your life Mark you’re an awesome guy. I met you at the Armageddon in Bradenton Florida. I’m sure this is still a tough time for you, but I’m also sure you’ll make the best of it and you’ll find a new even better opportunity.
You got this. So beast of the east right.
You will be fine man! You will always land on your feet!
I really hope you will find whatever makes you happy. Money is important but feeling happy is the key to success.
I lost almost everything but I still wake up early in the morning and feel blessed to have a wonderful family, wonderful wife.
Wish you all the best, you’re a good guy 👍💪
Keep your head up Mark! Will you be able to post more on your TH-cam channels? How many TH-cam channels do you have?
Definitely posting more on youtube. I have 1 other channel which is my main channel. @marksantamaria
So sorry mark. Keep ur head up. Brother
I found out that in the U.S one can sue for nearly any reason. Sue them for compensation of future losses due to their giving your job to someone else
Good things ahead my boi! Great hanging with you!
Is this Lance Bass?
Enjoy life Mark time is the only thing we can't get back or make more of 💯
You got family and friends always behind you brother! Just keep looking forward and don't look back! It's their loss! That's how I look at it! That's all you need!
100% Thank you sir!
Hell yeah well said, enjoy this time with your family & friends...and the R/C world...lol...👍👍
Open your own rc shop and track you have plenty of inventory to start with
Mark, God works in many different ways. I too retired after I was laid off at the age of 41. I felt like I had let my family down. But I now have time to do what I want and I have more money than I ever had while working. Trust God it will work out. You’ll see.
I good friend once told me "You get paid by the lord, not a company. Nothing to worry about". I live by that everyday.
@@msmeverydayare you Christian? And by that I mean, not someone that just attends church someone that genuinely believes the Lord is his savior and puts all your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Just curious man, love watching your channel.
I am from longisland u should have came out u would love it on longisland especially out east and also did reviews on all the hobby shops also in the area rc is very big in ny
I would have love to have done that. See the NY RC culture. Hit me up on FB.
@@msmeveryday will do
Dam that sux. Be aware at who takes your position’s age. Buddy of mine got laid off, they hired a younger person. He made a fortune filing an age discrimination case. Just an FYi. I’m retired, pretty young and it’s the American dream. Plenty of hobbies to keep me busy. No Regrets!
Yikes.... am I being naive that i think 40 is young? haha
There are lots of places to drive and race rc in NYC.
i need to get out of manhattan! haha
It sucks they did it to you on vacation, but I am happy that you are getting to "retire". Wishing you nothing but good vibes and can't wait to see what you do with this opportunity!
Good luck dude.
MSM OF link?
I just lost my job of 15 years nov 18th will be my last day I think I'm going to do exactly what your talking about and start from in the new year
Wish I had a wife that could take over if I got laid off!!! You are supper blessed!!!
I retired at 35 and it’s amazing bro
Sorry about the job
Good luck, yo'!
Sell your Tag and Aqua Terra for now... When the opportunity comes, get a GMT Master or Sub :) I didn't even know you had a second channel. Just subscribed and clicke on the bell.
thanks for the sub but the watches arent going anywhere... thanks for noticing though... hahaha
You’ll land on your feet, Mark. What do you do in IT?
Yes sir! Software Engineering
Sry to hear about you getting laid off. But GOD will open up bigger and better doors for you. Have fun spending time with your family that’s the best thing you could do.
Idk where you worked before or what kind of IT, but I saw that Traxxas is hiring a server admin.
Im in software engineering. I couldnt work for traxxas with my channel anyways... hahaha
MARK COULD WORK FOR TRAXXAS AS CONSULTANT. IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY HELP
If i had Traxxas down the road i would probably work for them. Getting paid for driving rc cars....
Same thing happened to me two months ago
HANG IN THERE MAN! I will be posting a lot of videos of my journey. Not my first time getting laid off ;)
@ thanks my friend. You the same. All happens for a reason I guess. All for the best I hope. Keep up the great content. Appreciate what you do
Be Blessed!
👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙
You lost me in the first 15 seconds…sorry.
❤
Move to Philippines and open a hobby shop there boom
that would be awesome!
@ - or tland even better or Malaysia even better than that more custom as no booz…. And less to do, but still need to spend money on cool hobbies
I drive my RC everywhere in the streets lmao 😭
We did some driving on the streets of time square... got some really bad looks from the cops... hahaha
@@msmeveryday that’s pretty funny, you should check out some parks in the Bronx, there’s a skatepark in VanCourtlandt by the 1 train but if your looking for a whole lot of land Pelham Bay Park is a really good spot too! Anyways have fun in NYC man keep it rockin and enjoy the time with the fam 🤘🏽
I really hate that for you and your team.
Wish you nothing good luck brother
🤙🏾🦾🙏🏿
