- This video is a little (well.....quite long) catch up of my journey from being mad redundant from Artisan Electrics to setting up on my own with Faultless Electrical Services 😎
This is just random clips over the first 6 months of Faultless from my Instagram (hence the vertical filming). I'm hoping those looking to take the leap and go self-employed will watch this and see if I can do it, anyone can!

John, you're not an influencer in my mind. You're a sparkie and that's why I watch. Bless you brother and hang in there.
@metrotechguru5863 Cheers mate, that's how I wanna come across 👍
Top man, glad to see you going well. Started out on my own 18 months ago. Difficult at the beginning but do good work and the clients come back. Getting easier all the time.
Much prefer yours and Corys content now you've set out by yourselves. Genuine lads with a wealth of knowledge that we appreciate you sharing with us. Keep up the great work and keep your head high!
yes, jordan has overreached himself a bit, but he has given us a few decent channels to watch. I don;t actually dislike jordan, but i do find him a bit pretentious
Thank you John for your honesty and authenticity
Hats off to you John. Onwards and upwards.
Well done John,looking forward to following your journey 👊
While Jordan messed up massively by laying you off, he's actually done you a massive favour, as it means you're not stuck with his sinking ship while he goes abroad non-stop. What frustrated me more was I only found out about your channel a couple of weeks ago. No one at AE has shouted out your channel or anything.
@rangersfcf1 In his words "I'm not making a big deal out of letting you go". He released a live video but got a big backlash about letting me and others go while abroad so he deleted it. They also delete every comment that mentions me on their videos.....
That channel is dead now you were a great addition to it and a great sparks there lose all day long mate
Get a recommendation for an accountant to take care of your tax affairs.
In my experience it takes that pressure away and makes sure you gain the financial benefit from the value of your existing assets in reducing your tax liability.
From what I have seen from your work with Artisan you will have no problem getting work because your work ethic and standards are high.
All the best John.
I think Lee and the lads just want to get on with the work and we now realise that when it says 'Artisan Electrics' it really means 'Jordan'. There's no team inclusivity there at all so I doubt very much if the rest are allowed to point you John's way. Jordan's playing of the smallest violin in the world back-fired and he thinks that coming back for a few days and shooting a shit-ton of videos to be spread across the month makes it look as if he's here the whole time when we know he's not. You notice in his 'What I'm doing now' video when there's something 'good' or 'positive' he says 'I'. When there's something 'bad' or 'negative' he says 'we'. All the lads looked up to John, he was the most experienced there. Glad you've done your own channel John.
@John_Faultless Your far better off rid of that company, attention and likes first electrical work second
Love your videos and honesty keep going mate,been self employed for 36 years the easy days are when you are inundated with work and not looking for work, you will get there good luck
john, i made it to the end... i am glad you came to the light side, being self employed for me was a no brainer, i HATE being told how to do my job by people. Yes the paperwork (ok laptop work) can be hard... butlike you said in this video, you can make space for your own life, 'not booking stuff in at kid picking up time' for example... and ... BONUS, you can do certs at the pub, they have free wifi ;) (and sadly not free beer)... colleague and i literally say to each other in front of customers 'ok see you at the office' :D
(tell the missus you have an actual office)
Thanks for uploading this, it's great to hear your process and how you've made the decisions you've made. Keep talking it through, it definitely helps us who are in the same position and I hope it helps you realise what you've already achieved 💪
@WithoutAPadd1e I'll try upload little updates business wise on here as I hit certain milestones. There's so much to learn when going on your own!
Well done mate, keep going you will be a success
@angelofranklin1 Cheers mate 👊
Nice that mate, enjoyed it. Wish you all the best moving forward 👍
@rjkelectrical6086 Cheers mate 👊
Well done John, keep plugging away at it buddy and you'll get where you want to be.
The quality of your work speaks for itself. Say thank you to Jordan if you see him he did you a favour, you look a whole lot less stressed now.
@rscelectrical7091 Cheers mate 👊
nice one john! both yourself and cory's vids are sooo much better than the artisan ones! not constant sell sell sell, more like here it is... its real 😁
glad you kept going, it'd been terrible if you had called it! im sub'd 😁
I’m an ex sparky and liked watching you when you were on AEs vids. Loved the banter. Loving your progression so far. I’ve only admiration and respect for ya and what you’re doing.
Great watch thank you for sharing your journey to date.
Great video mate, really interesting to see the journey. I'm a trainee spark so look forward to more of your training content
Wheyyyyy! hello! wow! so interesting watching the first part of the video back!! you are doing amazing my friend 🫡😎📈🔥🫡
Cheers Kimmy 👊
John, that's a brilliant video and a great journey you've been on. I'm delighted to see you doing so well. One thing I'd suggest if you're not already doing it - when you talked about tax and mentioned keeping photos of all the receipts on your laptop - I would use Dropbox or Google Drive or something like that to store all your data online as well, so if the laptop goes bye bye (they all do at some stage) you don't lose all your records. Especially because of the 5 year tax thing, but also it makes them accessible from your phone, etc. which can be very useful. Cheers and best of luck for the future!
@davefrizelle3882 Cheers mate 👌
Jordan's lose, he had a great spark.
But then we would not be here.....!!
Looking forward to your adventures.
Jordan messed up massively by laying you off, he's actually done you a massive favor, when you were at Artisan you were perfect to help teach the apprentices i hope in the future business starts to build I how get your own apprentice sorry got redundant from Artisan Electrics but nice to see you have setting up on my own with Faultless Electrical Services
Keep your head up John love your videos 👍🏼❤
@MB24890 Cheers mate 👊
@@John_Faultless have you got any of those veto bags left you want to get rid of I would love one if you don’t want them
Dewalt crew represent, My dewalt 18v drill outperforms my colleague's 22v hilti.... at the cost of wrists :D
Thanks John .
I totally agree with you , about companies getting paid to promote equipments and specific brands.Most people want to watch and learn for a normal person who are trying to make a living
Hi John, brilliant that your up and running again, your a brilliant electrician mate. Please spend a bit of quality time to sort out the garage and the van, as you'll end up spending wasted time "hunting" for stuff constantly. Looking forward to your video's. As you say you've had the push you needed and you'll thrive moving forward. Alex.
@@alextripp1230 It's on my list 😅 racking for the garage is being delivered Thursday 😌
@@John_Faultless nice one, it’s all uphill to start, you’ll get the basics sorted and relax into running your own business. Remember the old saying… you’ll never get rich working for someone else..!! Cheers John.. Alex.
Big up brother!
Did you feel the same way about Jordan? And do you know what happened to Rhuben?
Good luck brother, have just started the self employed journey myself
@@louislevine3028 Good luck! 👊
Thank you for the video. Good luck on your journey. Looking forward to the next video.
remember all clothing is ppe, as it is protecting you from the cold and scratches and scrapes, so put through the clothing including all gloves.
I'm the other way, I've always been self employed. Once you're set up you'll never go back to employment. You cant put a price on the freedom it gives you.
My recommendation. Once work is regularly coming in dont book in anything for Fridays. Use Monday - Thursday for scheduled work. Make sure you're charging enough to cover your time on the Friday.
Fridays for me are any of the following: Paperwork, quotations, finishing jobs that may have overrun, callouts or little jobs that come in during the week. Basically anything you don't want to do in the evening. It's all part of the job at the end of the day. Nothing worse than it taking precious family time away from you!
oddly i have mostly been employed, and the 5pm thing has annoyed me a lot... i want to finish the job, i've been out till 10pm, to have the next day off lol
omg! that podcast!!! lol ! @22:00 you had like the best podcast appearance on there hahaha
It was wild!! That comment section will go down in history 😂
i am currently training to be an electrician, pretty much for the same reason as you although i do think i may be a bit old at 38, but i guess that could be an advantage. i am loving your content, maybe you could just build your racking in the shed with some 2x4 and mdf sheeting? i have my eicr and testing assessment next week, so hopefully that goes well, then i can start my nvq
How did he decide who stayed and who was for the chop???
eeny meeny miney mo? 😂
C3 for type AC if they were ok at time of installation
Really like you mate, if you have any old house batteries you have or can install at mine near Bishops Stortford let me know.
You are well shot of Jordan.
🤘😎🤘
CIS is a fucking nightmare, i won't touch it anymore
Even though you knew that underground board was isolated may be wise to not show conductors and fingers in same picture in case someone who does not know better does it to a live one.
John I have the Henry dust collector machine, Enoch from Ghana Hahaha
Instant sub - I was wondering how you were doing. This was a real honest video, unlike a certain other channel and all the better for it. It's like an electrican "unplugged" (pun intended) from all the glitzy nonsense. Thoms Nagy is the OG and is finally back, but he's all about highways work now, so I'm only watching him for old time's sake. Nick Bundy churns out the videos but has said he has ADHD and is clearly quite manic in his videos. Both of those channels are still infinitely better than you-know-who's. Please cut the swearing - my family watch TH-cam on our television. I assume you do not swear in front of your own family. Thank you.
Why did artisan let you go and keep the rest of those doughnuts??
Some of those weren't qualified so he could pay em.cheaper like apprentice and a few others where as john is fully qualified so will command a full wage also as someone who is fully qualified I bet jordan pissed him off by passing off abroad taking money out the company for doing jack shit then saying times are hard I cannot stand jordan never mind the cost he charges for the work they do its stupid
Knew that twat was in trouble when he fed off for months after he was pleading with 100k credit card bill. Tell tell signs
1/ John probably showed Andrew [sorry, but Jordan is a dumb bitc#es name!] up knowledge wise.
2/ Artisan is all about Pretty Boys in videos trying to pump out high-end solar installs that few can afford "in the real world".
Hat off to John for doing his own thing and have to say I prefer his honest real world content over that Fartisans dull as dishwater drivel.
Good luck sir! Gave up with Artisan with the constant clickbait and "world worst" crap. Good luck to you.
Get a recommendation of an accountant.
Then you will know your obligations and tax liabilities and what you can legitimately claim.
Subscribed to help the channel, unsubscribed from Artisan as it’s boring not
Wave goodbye to solar and EV crap. Back to being a proper tradesman, good luck.
the solar industry is death... also Jordan is trash talking to the whole industry all the time.But makes enough mistakes himself.. he's also new to the solar game.. acts like he's been doing this for 15 years. he's not
Why is the Artisan guy called Jordan when that isnt his real name?
Kia Ora and greetings from New Zealand - does the UK not have recyle centres ? in nz most of the " rubbish " would gladly be accepted even the rusted out metal and yes - it took me abit to find your channel as like someone else said AE didnt give any shoutouts but they sure did for cory. and have to say i think jordan did you a favor as theres only so many solar / car chargers that you can do ... and at best Watch. its nice to have some variety and yours and cory's style of teaching is great whereas jordan seems dull and boring and while he tries he just seems to come across as another salesman PLEASE dont ever end up like that :) Kia Kaha
Bit long but I'm going to stick with it 😂
I thought those meter tail weirdnesses were only done to prevent tampering. But you being ex-DNO would know better... never knew they were used to just be lazy. Always makes me laugh to see '1, 2, 3, 4' on meter tails.... it's like 'the big hand is pointing to12...'
Jordon living abroad surely has to be for tax reasons???
If speak to your council, your in Harlow right, not sure but the council does vat free bins for all your shit, get big bin ask for price
Take the rubbish to your local dump. As long as your van not sign written and you have your id you shoukd be good 🎉
If I was you set up limited company
@@BillsCountrysideAdventures Thinking about it for the next financial year 👍
Such a desperate influencer 😊
Only 3 minutes in. Why was you made redundant. All I’ve seen of Artisan is money, money, money, flash vans, the EV charger specialists and EasyJet style recruitment days for more staff.
Also crap you put on insta rap put on Facebook or TH-cam mate, old people not on insta rap
WHY redundant ?? Has Artisan gone pop ??
I stopped following him a while ago - just didn't like the lick bait channel & not bread & butter jobs
Hope you make a go of it mate - Its hard to start but WE all make mistakes & rip ourselves off - you will soon get into the swing of priceng & tax
