Wise words indeed Tim. I’m 65 and retired now living back in Laurel MS. I left the family trucking business in my 20s and then move away to Ohio and ended up in Alaska for over 20+ years. My worst fear was how my dad felt about me leaving his home made, successful dream company. Years later we had “The” discussion about me leaving. He finally put me at ease by telling me he understood why I left. The trucking company was his dream, not mine. His pride in me was watching me pursue my dream and not his. He never got to see me achieve my total success but I know he knows how well I made it. Oh, and Happy Birthday to you.
My light turned on at 32 after working for the MAN for 18 years! “Lean not to your own understanding but in ALL your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will direct your paths”
Love this video I am 23 and work for a tree company I did not start out doing tree work. Before I was here I was at a warehouse for truck parts and I was absolutely miserable packing boxes all day. I knew I wanted to do tree work and as I got a vocal about it everybody in my life pretty much clowned me! I finally got a position at a small residential company and I put in my two weeks notice at work and went to this company. I lasted one week at this company and thankfully my boss at the warehouse took me back. This was some of the hardest times of my life at this job because people made fun of me all the time for not having the guts to do it and come back to the warehouse. I still held onto my dream even when everyone doubted me and put in a bunch of applications I did a bunch of weekend test runs with companies open to find one that sticks and after months I finally found a nice company that is training me and paying me pretty good !
Happy Birthday Tim. I will be 51 in 3 weeks and waited till I was in my 40s to go out on my own. Wish I would have done it sooner but it took till then for me to mature enough.
Good morning Mr Tim. Hope y'all are doing great 👍✌️🙏🙏 Happy birthday Bud.🎉🎉
I am 30 now, and have my own compay I have had it for over 4 years all my savings goes into stocks, so they can just sit there and grow 😊
Happy Birthday Tim!! Thanks for sharing the wise words.
🇺🇸🇵🇷🇵🇪😎 Happy Birthday, Keep up the great content!!!😅
So true! While I still have my normal career which pays very well, I have also built my own business on the side that is almost as lucrative now. I am 60 now, If I had when after my passion early on I could have made it but I was afraid to take the risk and opted for the seemingly ease nice paycheck and settled for that when I should have immediately invested it in my passion. I could have had a well established business and working for myself at 30 instead of 60.
Do not spend your life building someone else’s dream. I did that until I was 45, I made a lot of employers rich all promising me they will take me to the top. I am now 48 and the last 3 years have been the best years of my life. I started my own mechanical company 3 years ago. Stop chasing the carrot someone else is holding. Grow your on garden.
Hi happy birthday, we all have our reasons that we are you, mine were medical, and now ( l am a bit older than you)it has got to the point I can no longer do the safe jobs) I would agree with you (Try it) don’t live to regret not trying.👍🐝🌞
Nice 😊 🤠👍happy birthday 👌👌🤠🤙 🎂
Happy birthday yeah that's was me too but my was 2 Decades
Happy birthday
Black is start capacitor and silver is run capacitor .
Have a Blessed Day from Elkins, WV
Wise words Tim. I was once told when I was looking to start on my own that it is better to try and fail than fail because you didn't try.
Happy birthday, and good advice for people.
Happy Birthday hope its a gudun.
Good advise! Happy Birthday!
I will be 61 June 25th. Been a mechanic 40 years. Started my own business 11 years ago at 50 years old. Hard road at first. 12 employees today and doing well. Now getting into land clearing on the side which I enjoy more than anything. If you enjoy it. It's not work. Plan to let someone younger take over shop and I will run my machines and enjoy life. Should have took the chance a long time ago.
Happy Birthday! Wise words. Life is too short not to do the things you want to do or love.
Happy 51st birthday. By the way my daughter turns 50 in June. I am not sure how I got a daughter that old! Great points made here. I could have played it safe and got a job at General Motors, my father-in-law could have got me in repairing machinery. But I didn't want the confinement of working in a factory. I wanted to work on cars. Because of my work ethic I was able to continue to work my self up from washing cars to becoming Fixed operations manager. I spent 45 years in the business. In that time my employer paid for over 4000 hours of schooling. Tim I have watched you on TH-cam for a long time. The one thing that impresses me more that your work ethic is your willingness to help other people. What goes around comes around both good and bad. In your case you have been blessed because of your generosity. Have a great year.
Happy birthday you tree chasin rascal!
Happy birthday Tim. Thank you for posting this video. It is so insitefull and true. I am sending a link to this video to my Grandson and I will encourage him to sit quietly and watch it, listen to it, and absorb the wisdom you share. Take care. Edit to add: I think you should edit this video into a "fireside" chat. The title "Do not be me" is perfect. Trim off the intro about the air compressor and just have the Fatherly talk. You have presented it so well I wish all young people could hear it. Post it everywhere you can to reach young people. Thanks again.
All I can say is; Is that a United States Marine Corps flag hanging in your shop? If so, I'll say I'm a 78 year old Marine also, and Semper Fi, Jarhead!!!
Happy Birthday !! Have a Great Day Man !!
Tim Happy Birthday 🍰🎂🍺🍺🎂🍰
My 10yo son will definitely listen to this in 8 years! I'm the same age as you, 2017 was my exit out of my safe job! Never looked back, best decision I have ever made!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday Tim. So true . I do little tree jobs and I've had my grandfather tell me don't do that it's too Dangerous but I would do it anyway. I think it's made me a better person.
happy birthday dude you still a baby lol
Happy Birthday Tim. Wiser words have not been spoken. The key is to take that first step. Sure you want to plan. Sure you want to have the right timing and the right people but, don’t wait or plan so long that you miss opportunity when it shows up. Ready or not take that first step. I did when I was 24. I wasn’t the smartest manager of my time but it was my time! I made mistakes and learned from them. I’m retired now with few regrets. I have enjoyed watching you these past couple of years (I have a Cottontop tee). I so appreciate the example you have portrayed on your channel and the Christian values that I tried to exemplify in my business you have expressed so wonderfully in yours. Keep on keepin on man! Later tater!
Great video & message!
Happy Birthday Tim..
Happy Birthday Tim..
So VERY VERY True buddy!!! Amen!!!! God Bless All!!!!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
You could help a lot of high school kids and young people with your wisdom speaking at schools and what not. This world needs more people to share the truth with them and not shove lies and misinformation down there throats at every turn. Great video 👍
Happy birthday Tim
Happy birthday Tim
Mornin Tim! did you take a crash course on measuring nanofarads today? LOL I had capacitor problems last month and learned a lot of cool stuff.
So true! Happy Birthday!
So what you're saying is, I should go ahead and get another 306?! 10-4!!! And happy birthday again...... Rook still hasn't told you...
Happy Birthday Tim! Very wise words as I am one of those guys stuck in a job I am afraid to leave (though I don’t hate it I just don’t love it) just turning 51 like you 2 months ago. I started doing tree work part time with my cousin and our buddy 4 years ago and absolutely love it. I wish I had started when I was a younger man as it would probably have been my career though sometimes doing something full time changes your love of it. Enjoy your Birthday Tim🎉
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy Birthday 🎂

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Tim. Great words of advice and i would also add that you don't have to make huge leaps. I too am not a huge gambler and thats alright. You can always start out slow doing things on the weekend, and rent equipment or buy used, and try and get a foothold established in that industry you want to be in. If it doesn't pan out you can sell off the equipment and usually recoup most of your money. I work in an office and my channel is devoted to my side projects/business which is me trying to find a secure backup to my office job for now and maybe one day becoming my primary job. But most importantly its things i enjoy like tree work and excavating. It does also afford me time to work with my dad who helps out and that may be something that you can't put a price on.
Happy Birthday Tim! Good Message!!
Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy Birthday Tim have a blessed day and a safe year
happy birthday

Happy birthday mr Tim!!
Happy Birthday Tim!
My experience is it’s easier to fail early in life with nothing.Once you build your life it’s harder to risk what you built.
Happy Birthday !!!
Have A glorious and Blessed day .
Happy Birthday Tim. Really enjoy your videos.
Happy Birthday Tim!!
Happy birthday 🎉 True wise words at 58 I have wasted my life because I never found anything that I was really good at and always took the easy way out and just stayed in the job out of convenience
Well said!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU 🎉. Have great day.
Happy Birthday! I graduated High School in 72! Ya young fart! - lol
Thanks for sharing
I was born nov 1972
I just did the same thing. I worked for the University of Alabama for 13 years where I was comfortable but very unhappy. I will start working for Tuscaloosa county in the next couple of weeks.
Happy birthday, Mr. Tim! I’m turning 47 tomorrow.
I've got that same RCR/Earnhardt toolbox. Ordered it before he passed.
Happy Birthday. Your a great person and will keep on doing great things.
Happy Birthday Tim
I have watched your videos for the past 4 years , and why , I don't know but I love logging and the machinery.
I am an OB/Gyn doctor and now 66 years old and very successful. Ihave two sons that are 31 and 28 which are both
in dead in jobs and barely making ends meet.. i am sending them this video because you know what i know.
They don't understand that i went from dirt poor to my current success. you have done well at explaining this.
my boys grew up hunting deer and fishing i Texas and they are kind of use to life on a platter....
Thanks , and great insight, Michael McCullough
That was me as well but I was forced out of logging in 08. I miss it everyday but wouldn't change the path I'm on and go back if that makes since.
Happy birthday Tim thank you for sharing this video
I worked for Motion Industries for 39 1/2 years. When I retired at 65 in 2015 I started a small construction company in 2016. We are still working 12 people every day on 3 different job sites in 3 different counties. When I bought my first new excavator for $120K it was a leap of faith.
Excellent words of advice..👍👍😃😃
Great advice 👍 Happy birthday keep slaying them 🌳 's
Exactly how and what I did from 15 till 58, I am happy for what I achieved especially as a dyslexic and bipolar I was always employed, now at 67 on a good pension, 😊.
Actually get what you say I just turned 41 April 10th this year I have a woodshop business had it for ten years I know how you feel I poured concrete for 17 years I'm sick of it
Tim
Greatest words of wisdom I have heard in a long time. I am twenty years your senior. My generation grew up thinking like my parents...work
for one company until you retire...wish I followed your path.
happy birthday tim. still the best channel on youtube 👍
Happy birthday! Those are wise words. I remember going to college and I’ve been in the corporate world ever since. I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up but I’m bored. Yet, I feel stuck because I have 3 kids. I wish I had the courage to go do something else.
Happy birthday my friend hope it's great one,later taters...
Happy birthday Tim ! Mine was Saturday.
All great points. I’ve always been in construction. Started in high school, up through the ranks and then started my own business in 2001. It’s all about being able to adjust to services need with changing times.
Btw, just picked up a bass tracker last week also. What model is yours?
Thank you for the video and that really hit home I have a small tree company and excavation with both a skid steer and a excavator and sometimes it gets scary and overwhelming my problem is find people to work. It’s crazy I have the work but I can’t do it by myself it’s hard I’m 38 so hopefully something will come work out or I’m gonna head to the border lol I’m serious!!!!!!! Thanks man your a good guy
Ah a spring Chick my friend. I'm 75 running towards another with fingers crossed. Sage advice. Remember next job pays the same or more and might add a number of skill sets. Learn how to sell yourself what you have done and your upward goals. Forget about grades in school. If you did high school you did it. if you did some college - say some college.
Thats good advice Tim, very well said. I did take some risk with my work, certainly not as much as others. I can truly say I enjoy what I do for a living. I was very lucky to find my calling. I do heavy commercial & industrial HVAC. Another sound thing id say is do not be afraid to try. I made it where I am because I wasn’t afraid to take on some jobs that scared others or they didn’t want it.
Hi Tim first let me say happy birthday. I was in the same boat. I worked at a jod in the row clearing for a power company for 15 years. Same as you i was scared to jump out and try something new. However, at the ripe age of 40 I left and went back to school. Now for the past 3 years I have been a automotive instructor for a local community college. Greatest decision i have ever made. Love your content keep them coming.
Thanks for sharing. Really meaningful.
Thank you, Tim, thank you, thank you for that uplifting
Their are many people who be great entrepreneurs but the big elephant in the room is health insurance. Even the marketplace for the affordable card act is a hurdle. Too many money people that don't touch sick people stuffing their pockets with cash. My wife is a pediatrician with 30 + years. She has made us a comfortable living but makes no where close to what the CEOs of hospitals, health systems, drug companies, medical supply companys etc. That needs to change for more young people to find their real self. Glad you were able to make leap. 👍
Great words and guidance! I see the Marine Corps flag, please explain. Semper Fi
Happy birthday have a great day 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😂👍👍🎂
Great advice. I am retired and should have done some changes in my past. Thanks
happy birthday man nice video jesterday wit the zaws
