Enjoyed your video, thanks for being honest about your faith. It reminds me of a quote I heard "You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness; then the light will appear and show the way before you." and a scripture from my own faith "Dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith" I'm currently self employed and I'm struggling with the decision to change careers or not, so thanks for sharing.
God is good all the time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. My wife also feeds the fire within us and we’re just waiting on retirement to make our hobby our lifestyle.
Congrats on your faith, hard work and planning allowing you to do what you love full time! We are struggling with this at the moment with my husband. He is eligible to retire now and he would love nothing more than to join me full time in the shop, but giving up the security of insurance (with two teenagers) and some added pension benefits if he stays is making it tough for him to walk away. He’s got one foot out the door though 😂
Wow, yea that’s tough! My wife really supports the family with the benefits. I couldn’t be doing this without her. I would make the same sacrifice for her though if she want to do something different.
I took a chance 6 years ago with a side gig that now is around 300K a year. Went full time 2 1/2 years ago, never looked back. As far as your doubts or things you missed, fix em! You have the power to change things. If the change doesn't yield results you like, put it back the way it was and keep thinking on ways to improve how you do it. Stagnation in business is usually the downhill slide. Good luck and keep making sawdust!
Nolan, Love the video and your courage to share your faith. Matthew 6:33 comes to mind, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” You story is so inspiring.
Thanks for the video Nolan! My woodworking business is slowly picking up steam. Right now I've been taking commissions from friends and family, usually giving them a bit of a discount so that I can build up a backlog of original designs to show future clients (mind you I still work full-time too). Any chance you'll do a video on finding jobs and pricing? Best and worst costumer experiences? So much stuff I wanna ask, lol Congrats on your success so far brother :)
Great video dude! I’m so fortunate to have my military retirement, without it idk if I could deal with the stress of being full time not having a guaranteed paycheck. Amazing tips and great success story!

Man those are some awesome quotes! Good luck on your decision! Hopefully you can find peace in either decision you make!
Insurance is the big one, I’ve been self employed for 30 years and always missed the state insurance I had before.
Yea and it’s not cheap for the Self-Employed either!
Thanks for sharing. I been thinking about it also. But we will talk in atl
Thanks bro! Yea we will definitely chop it up in atl!
Thanks for sharing Nolan. This is very insightful.
No problem man! Thanks for watching and supporting!

Man! Those words are much appreciated! If you don’t mind me asking what’s your business?
Never mind I just looked at your TH-cam! You have a nice setup man!
@@NolanBuilt Thanks, been working on it for a long time. Lots of hard work, sweat and blood and tears but wouldn't change it.

That’s a good way to start out! I did the same thing in the beginning. We’ll have to see about making a video on it. A lot of variables in the topic.
Great video dude! I’m so fortunate to have my military retirement, without it idk if I could deal with the stress of being full time not having a guaranteed paycheck. Amazing tips and great success story!
The unknown of the next paycheck keeps the blood flowing lol!
@@NolanBuilt lol I bet dude! 😂
The 3 - 6 months sound very Dave Ramsey! Do you follow his baby steps?? I do
I did years ago! Got me out of debt and got me to saving!
