Folks, I sure hop you can see what I'm talking about in this video....putting ourselves down, making excuses for ourselves will never help us with growth! Please help spread this word! If you want success.....you've gotta seek out success! Share this video with friends, family and young people. We've all got that friend that thinks they can't dig their way out to success....I'm here to tell ya it's possible!!! Nobody is gonna give it to ya!
I agree with every word you said. I was raised in government housing. We were dirt poor. My pop pop told me when I was younger born poor always be poor. I carried that mindset with me. I quit school in the 11th grade. I got my GED three months later. I struggled for several years and realized I didn’t want to live that way anymore. Through your exact words “Hard work and perseverance.” I am a lineman, I make six figures a year. Not handed to me. Blood sweat and tears got me here. We see the work you put into this farm. You wear so many hats and you get it done still. Keep on keeping on Josh! You are doing great things.
@StoneyRidgeFarmer heard a good one today- " our conditions today don't determine where we can go , only from where we start" amen
Amen, Josh!! Work ethics in this country have gone down the toilet! I can go into my story, but who besides me would really care? The point is, that I made the choice not to be poor once I became an adult. And, that choice has paid off for the most part!!
Con grates on what you have. I know it's none of my business but would love to see your earnings, savings and expenditures of your life. The part that led you to have the money for 200 acres, and now the nonstop funds that you can get new equipment and toys. Will keep watching to see you grow and possible family.
well...I'm not just a farmer buddy....and my land cost less than the average 3 bedroom house in America! That's how ....$2k or less per acre, and you can still get land around here for less than $3500 an acre...but it will need a lot of attention
I came from dirt poor and have gone broke with debt twice. I am retired and debt free with a beautiful home and land completely debt free. It is still doable.
Asolutely.
Yessssss
Spot on, brother! I was born last in the middle class, married young while in college. We made a combined $15k working through school. Had my 1st kid on the Medicaid. Wife went to medical school on the Army’s dime, and I worked. She finished training, and I went back to school to be a PA, 3 kids by then. I’m now “retired” at 51 building a farm/homestead. I work harder now than I ever did. I’m always behind on something that needed to be done last week, but that’s why it’s a lifelong process. If you have the drive, work ethic, and character to build up your skills and help others along the way, you can do whatever you want. God has been good to me, and I thank Him daily. But you can’t sit back and it just be handed to you. And you can learn something from most anyone if you choose to, even the idiots. If they don’t have anything to offer, why be around them? Keep doing what you’re doing Josh. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years.
sounds like you dug yourself out of a bad situation! That's great!
I worked in a prison for 25 years( a job the majority can't or won't do) and I retired at 46. I get gruff all the time from people about being retired so young. I worked 1000+ hours overtime a year in a wretched place and saved. Am I the one that's wrong? Hee hee
sounds like you worked hard and saved your money, hopefully got you out of debt and now you're probably doing something else that you enjoy. Now that you've retired, as long as you're taking care of yourself I think that's awesome! I could have stayed in the USAF and retired at 38 years old...plenty of "retired" folks in their 40s nowadays.....you and I both know that 25 years goes by in the blink of an eye!!
Bless you brother, attitude controls your altitude.👍👍👍
Success does not fall from the sky
Alot of people don't realize how much hard work you put in.
everyone who's successful at anything has to work at it....I think the media nowadays has folks fooled into thinking that people just build success with luck or someone gives it to them....hard work, smart work and setting goals works!! It just does...even when someone throws a big wrench into the mix...like divorce!
Many of our “newer” people don’t know what hard work is.
Josh you are 100% right!!
I agree with Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right"
Henry Ford was one of the few American businessmen that supported the Third Reich in the early days of The War , the big war
Great show. I know hard work that has to be done. I grew up dirt poor and worked my way through.
Keep up the information flow!
People are watching you!!
Josh, you know I comment a whole lot, and I appreciate the opportunity to!
I appreciate you, and your message!
I'm proud of your accomplishments and achievements!
Thanks brother!
I appreciate that Charles
People don’t realize that you start with small savings and keep your eyes on your goals
You mentioned Dave Ramsey. His program changed our lives when we were in that situation like you described, unable to afford the basic necessities. Lots of folks go through their entire lives and don't ever realize what you've just shared, Josh. I'm not a farmer or a rural landowner, but I watch your channel simply because of what you are talking about. Thank you, sir.
Well said Josh! I consider myself successful. Am I rich..... no, not monetarily. Do I have lots of land..... no. That was not my priority.
I went to university in Canada, got a degree, never used it. Went into aircraft maintenance, got laid off, went back to school and got my RNs.
25 years of nursing later, I have a house that is paid off (after 14 years, ) a wife of 37 years, three adult kids, and two grandchildren. To me that is success.
Times were tough when I got laid off. We had two kids and a mortgage...... but hard work made it happen.
What I have, is happiness, a home and savings for my retirement. My job allowed for a good pension plan, which I took advantage of. Do I care that my neighbour might have more than me? No. Good on him if he does. I am satisfied with where I am and what I have. I think that is the issue with a lot of people. They want more than they need, and thus feel they have been shorted when they haven't achieved that level.
Preach, brother! I get upset when people use the word "luck". Yeah, luck from working my patootie off.
"Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do."
Well said!
I just came from my son's "new student orientation" at a local college. One saying stuck with me. "Show me your friends, I'll show you your future." So true, and I've seen it my entire life.
Josh I've been following you for a long time and what you've endured and overcome to achieve what you've become ! I'm 68 years old and I've worked my ass off to get what I've gotten which isn't much, but I've been dept free and retired at 62 and it was because I worked 3 jobs to get where I am!thanks for all the inspiration you give and hopefully the next generation can follow your words God bless and I hope you get everything out of life because you've earned it!
...you are Right!!!...as simple as that!!!😀
Well said, brother. You get out what you put in. Without mental goals continually flowing in one's mind, stagnant life follows. You have definitely shown what sweat equity can get an individual. We all gotta start somewhere, but your mindset will keep you there. Proud of all you do, brother. America!!!
Amen Josh! You are what you think about ALL DAY LONG! Get up and focus on the beautiful! Do yourself a favor and listen to the message. Thanks Josh for a feat message!
The "Poor Pitiful Me" syndrome is the the most prevalent affliction in the world today. These people are not happy unless they make everyone as miserable as they are.
it is now...and has always been. It's sad .....amazing enough when we stop putting ourselves down, we eventually stop putting everyone else down too!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer like it has always been said, misery demands company and not compassion.
So glad that you addressed this subject, I had this talk with my step son recently. He was down on himself, stuck in a rut. We all need a pep talk every now and again to keep us focused on the trophy called life. Nice work sir
I learned all of this at a very young age, some thanks to my father, some thanks to my own work ethic and those who surrounded me
I’ve been subscribed for a loooong time, Josh has busted his A$$ getting his farm manageable which includes thousands of hours of video and editing.
I’ve never met Josh but I know how much work and study has gone into making Stoney Ridge a success.
Wooooooooo!!!
thousands and thousands of hours my man! For sure....anyone willing to work and not be down on themselves will always be successful!
Thank you for answering these commenters. You’re a great role model with your work ethic!!!
You are absolutely right. You are what you eat. You became what you want to become. Follow the right people and work yourself into a better more successful person.
Very powerful episode Josh. I agree fully and especially that news media is very corrosive!!! Cheers buddy!
amen brother!!
Holy Shit brother - awesome!! I sent the whole video to both of our daughters and told them to listen - further reiterates mom and dad’s message 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Amen! Being a business owner I’m always around my employees that seem to think they’ll never have anything and are just so unlucky because they struggle pay check to pay check, but yet they make the most dumb financial decisions I’ve ever seen and then they get upset if you bring that to their attention, but I agree while I’ve never really had a lot of money I’ve never once in my life thought I was poor, honestly in my mind I’m rich, I have a wonderful wife two wonderful kids and good health what more could a guy ask for? Surrounding yourself with happy people who are truly happy with their life is the best thing ever. It’s amazing how someone else attitude can change your attitude
yep...don't come crying broke, driving a new truck lifted with $3000 wheels, covered in tattoos, Pulling a boat.....always having a cooler of beer and a house that's a wreck. Nope...that's not broke...that's self induced poverty! Ask me how I know!!! 23 years old driving a Land Rover with a Boat and a cooler loaded!!! In my younger days I was doing the same thing!!
Wow, best video you have put out. I don't watch every video you put and don't always agree with you but I never post negatively. I spent most of my growing up years living in a trailer. My parents taught me to work hard. For all of the "Shawn's" out there what Josh is saying is true. From the books he reads, to the idea of surrounding yourself with people that inspire you. As a little kid I wanted to be a farmer and never knew if I could. At age 55 I retired, bought a farm and am playing farmer. We have a boarding stable and a few rentals. So for anyone else out there reading my comment it is completely possible. I wanted a college degree, it only took me 13 years of going to college part time and working multiple jobs. Again GREAT video Josh.
Very well spoken!! I started like you and accomplished many things and worked for everything that I have and own today. I really hope that everyone realizes this and that it is up to them to do better for themselves and/or for their family and personal growth. Great video I’m extremely impressed by your words of wisdom!!
This may be the best most inspiring video I've seen to date!
I absolutely agree! I really hope your base will honestly take it to heart. Thank you my friend.
Maybe motivational speaking is a path forward for you!
Well said! Very well said!
Wow, thank you!
Everyone should take your words to heart. They are powerful. Thanks for this video.
IMHO, no one can really say you haven't worked your rear end off for every thing you have, Josh. I've been with you a few years now, and seen what all you've accomplished thru sweat equity. You have every reason to be proud of yourself. And thank you very much for my freedom! Love the v8deos. Keep 'em comin'! 😊
I’m glad you popped up in my feed again, after I went back to rewatch your Ram pump video. Haven’t seen you in a bit, but we’ve used your DIYs for harvesting and making hams, the pump, etc. Your content is valuable. Just be glad you’re getting goofy comments, and not having viewers swatting you over a kitten like Narrowway Homestead.
Keep on doing what you’re doing, you’ve helped a lot of us out here trying to homestead. Just finished building that pump!
Hello I live in salt lake city, and I was watching your channel when you first bought your property, man o man you have come a long way, so much hard work but now when you step back and look at what you have created, I think your farm is beautiful , it is really turning out really nice, I hope it is what you were seeing in your mind at the beginning, job well done and thank for your videos I really enjoy them.😊😊😊
awesome Jeff...I lived in Ogden/Layton area for 10 years! Love my Utah! Miss it dearly!
@StoneyRidgeFarmer I use to be a commercial painter back then, I painted alot of new apartments in layton and Ogden and hill airforce base, thanks for responding hope you have or had a great 4th of july.
nice .....we probably crossed paths! I've painted a many a house in my day...used to work as a sub for Ivory Homes
I respect the hard work you’ve put in & I agree with not putting yourself or others down. I have a trailer park farm because while I don’t own the land, I have more than enough space for a bunch of raised garden beds. Do what you can, with what you have ❤ I just wanted to add it is considerably harder today than it was for you to own land. We’ve really been priced out of it.
respectfully speaking.....it's no harder to buy land now than it was 9 years ago...if you're looking in the right place my friend. It is NOT CONSIDERABLY HARDER!! That mentality is a barrier to success...however this isn't just about buying land...or starting a farm...it's about the mentality that somehow someone else has the power to keep ya down, or that luck or handouts is what gets ya somewhere. There's land for sale all over the country....and it's affordable land...but it's not convenient to the local Target .....Do what ya can, with what you have...I agree...and be happy!
Just watched this video. WOW, you are spot on. But the problem is that most people don't want to hear it. Instead, they want it handed to them. Anyways, you are 💯 correct, and I was glad to see you preaching it. Thankyou Much respect. Jim, Morganton NC
Most folks do not want to work hard at anything. They have been convinced by the movies that they should just get what they want just because they want it. The public school system has taught them to just be a slave worker for the system and not an independent achiever and a critical thinker.
Ooof! This is the punch in the mouth a lot of us needed. One of if not the best videos you’ve done. You’ve shown the successes AND defeats in your life and I’ve never seen you do the woe is me. You bite down on the mouth piece and move forward.
I remember you living in the trailer and having your handyman business, along with trading cars way back then. You have come a long way! I'm proud of you man keep it up. There's No telling where your going to end up one day.
amen brother!
Josh, you're absolutely right, every word you said you can't sit around waiting for somebody to give you something or something to happen. You gotta put in the work you gotta put in effort and you're right about surrounding yourself with people that are successful and like you said, study them see what they're doing to make themselves more successful. But you're right, Josh.
Josh,excellent advice for the people who are saying poor me 😮😊❤
What Josh said is so very true. You do not need to inherit wealth to have land. In my 60 I received my first ever inheritance of almost $3500 which does not make it possible for anyone to make it rich. I have never made as much as teachers make but because I never spent all I made but worked side hustles. I now own more land than most people do and have a comfortable retirement income and a nest egg of more than I ever imagined possible. It is not necessary to have generational wealth but spending less than you make and working hard is essential.
Thank you for this video... Vast swaths of America have not been taught the value of the work ethic. They have bought into dependency on others. They buy into other people's dreams and goals, but have none for themselves. They need to become educated on how to build a life worth living and actually take responsibility for their destiny. Cheers 👍
I call it hard work and dedication. I remember when my wife and I couldn’t buy a loaf of bread. But we are good now after 45 years of working and planning. Just do it.
@StoneRidgeFarmer I agree with you 100%; it starts with a dream, hard work and perseverance. Sometime last year you spoke about procrastination and the importance of starting now and from that Sunday, I got up and started my journey of building a farm and creating Generational wealth; I am glad today I am in the beginning of that journey developing my 13 Acres farm. The great thing is principles work for all of us irrespective of where we are; I learn a lot from you although I am in South Africa miles away from where you are.
100% truth..Some people today dont understand why they are broke payday to payday..I tell my grandkids you are not broke.its you want to support Starbucks/ restaurants / clothing stores/ hair salons..take all that away you'll see your not poor at all.They become hating on others what they have..
Josh, what I've learned in my 65 yrs of life is that military service as you well know and it doesn't matter what branch taught us all to surround ourselves with successful people and how to have confidence in ourselves to succeed in whatever we do.
yep...and in most cases the military would weed out those folks that would bring down the rest of the troops!
Sucess, failure is a state of mind. Sometimes it all depends on how bad you want it. You are correct also, sometimes stuff just gets in the way.
Josh, I couldn't say this better myself!
Hard work never hurt anybody, but not working towards a goal is a life killer!
Hey Josh thank you for the video and I agree with everything that you say there it's true woo
Amen thank you so much you actually took the time to breathe into people inspiration and facts universal law facts and I for one have enjoyed your channel for years I hope to one day be able to come across your farm and you're definitely goals for me,😊
I truely respect the hard work of CZcams. I been busting my butt with only 700 subscribers lol. Making videos is hard. But it’s worth it (I hope). I’m a veteran, and current law enforcement. I surely listen to your advice, and hope it brings me success. Congratulations to your success!
Josh is that telegram account a fake?
that's a fake account ....I've reported and blocked them...if you can still see the message block them...I think the account has already been taken down from what I can see
I doubt many also realize you showcase two different full-time gigs. The farm is one, youtube/social media another. And I'd be willing to wager there's a few more off-screen things you have cooking, never mind the mess that must be managing relationships with sponsors and such. Those two visible ones are a ton of work to begin with, so there's no reason not to spend some money to enjoy what you do.
Glad to see the American dream on TV!
Love the segment, Josh. I cannot agree more with your comments and the mention of 'privilege' is way out of control. This is especially true of anyone who has ever served (we are both Airmen, by the way, and both formerly from the medical profession); there is no privilege in that lifestyle, for certain, only what is earned. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us, inspiring ideas on how we may develop our own land and/or dreams.
Hard work is not easy. You defeat yourself by saying you can't. Reasons you can't will always defeat you. Of course it is scary when you do something the first time but what a reward when you complete a task or project. You have to take the step as we did when we were infants. Stop listening to people that say you can't, take the step and try. Sometimes it takes two or three steps to complete moving forward. Get off your butt and do your dream, don't stop when it doesn't go your way and don't listen to folks that say you can't or it will never work. BE SUCCESSFUL and TRY! Dreams are not easy to achieve, but you can DO it. Look around and see the BLESSINGS that are around you. Listen and learn from words around us! You are so right Stoney Ridge a good rant, farmer rod
I admire people like you from nothing to something don’t feel bad for being successful keep up the hard work my guy I’m rooting for you 👍🏽
sometimes people take another's success and use it against them...once again...nobody is gonna hand it to ya...you've gotta learn, grow and build yourself up!
I love having my own land, some equipment and tools and a steady stream of income even if I don’t work any more. Still drive a 2003 Dodge Ram that I think will be running when I’m gone. I bought and paid for my stuff, no inheritance. Makes me proud I got what I have on my own.
amen! It's not a big secret that hard work, living below our means and saving works!
Hey bro, that's about the sweetest pavilion I've seen in a long time! I'm not resentful I'm just jealous about your beautiful property and new equipment while my lands are steep and my equipment is 30 years old 😂 carry on as you are bro.... best of luck to you and I enjoy your content ❤
Your response is right in! Every person has decisions to make. We can decide to work hard and be successful. We can decide to feel sorry for yourself. Keep living as you choose to live!
I started 6 years ago bought a 32 acre farm and started building it up my son bought the farm from me and I bought a 300 acre farm 2 years ago Last year we both sold our farms and bought a 600 acer farm in Missouri we now own 1100 acres and farm 1700 acres and use older equipment
see...and folks seem to think that there's no way they can do something like that....ya can!!!
Preach it Reverend Josh of the Stoney Ridge!🤣 All joking a side I always told my Daughters "I can't never did nothing I will do it is how you get things done!"
lol
I worked and never considered myself a victim, allowed myself to be a victim or victimized another person. I didn’t graduate high school, technical college (aviation) or medical school. But I did work hard and owned a home in California and I sold it for a million dollars. I looked for opportunities to improve my employers business while serving my country in Afghanistan. My greatest accomplishments have been helping others!
I earned California State Paramedic certification (I served in Los Angeles County and in the Middle East & Afghanistan) and my aviation Airframe & Powerplant and Pilots Licences on my own. I graduated college twice and finished the first two years of Medical School. After graduating, a nurse called me doctor while I was walking in the hospital to attend a Continuing Medical Education (CME) course, I got puffed up and didn’t like it. So I stopped! I didn’t like feeling like I was better than anyone else.
I served my country by volunteering to go to Afghanistan because no one else said “Send Me!). I served my country protecting those who couldn’t protect themselves for over 30 years. I don’t want or am looking for any acknowledgment! I earned my wealth by helping others and buying the worst house on the block. I poured any money and sweat into it and my job which both have rewarded me handsomely. As Josh said, be smart and work harder! Love God and admire what he gave us and treat others as you would hope they treat you. I have a hard time turning the other cheek but, I’ll give them the opportunity to do the right thing. If they don’t, it hasn’t ever been beneficial for them! Be kind to one another!
Haters might be jealous of your success and shit post on your channel but they're still watching and making the beautiful gazebo possible lol.
I don't really think it was a "hater" so much as someone that doesn't understand that we make our own reality. I get all matter of "hater" comments....but this one really inspired me to speak about success and what it takes!
Good points! Keep it up, I enjoy your journey.
Amen SR Farmer!! I couldn't agree more. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Stoney Ridge you are so right about those "trust fund babies" we are surrounded by those here in NW Alabama. Those people are lazy, rude, bad business men and women because they have never worked a hard day in their life. I don't use those people when I need work done because they are lazy and useless. Good for you keep up your hard work it will continue to pay you back.
I don't think we can put "all" of them in a compartment.....but I do think that earning self worth is worth more than any $$
I completely agree with you. There is zero doubt in my mind you self made everything you have through hard work, creativity, and perseverance. You were not handed anything.
I get so tired of people who sit around and complain about other people’s success . Hard work and dedication is 80% of success.
I’m with you. I too have had people say “you are just lucky”. There was no luck involved….. I worked harder and longer than anyone around me and I cared more about the quality of what I did, and it was recognized by others. Sweat and work ethic makes 80% of success.
I'm not sure why some folks think that another's success doesn't come from hard work, planning and dedication. The main reason I did this video is to let folks know.....being down on yourself never helps!
Good evening Josh, handled like a gentleman! Incredibly inspiring and informative.
Awesome video! Excellent answer! Shawn sounds like a guy who does not want responsibility. He wants someone to take care of him. I worked in a creamery for 31 years, saved, bought my own little ranch and built a small business raising angus beef cattle. I'm retired from the creamery and just work on my ranch. To get here, there were many 20 hour days. I never called in sick at work and I did everything myself at home. Mostly by hand. I fenced 20 acres digging post holes by hand. And on the 140 acres we lease, fencing is done by hand. Irrigation is all flood irrigated with a lot of hand work.
I think he's been brainwashed into thinking he has no way out...when he does!!
Thank you for the inspiration! I have been working to achieve my goal of having my forever house with a vegetable garden, chickens and a quiet life with my husband. I’ve worked hard and am now, as a 74 year old woman, I have it! I had negativity around me in my sister living with me and since she left there is such a relief. I watch every homesteader I can and pick up such great ideas. I study every successful person and try to emulate each one. My husband and I aren’t rich but we love what we have!! I thank God every day for what I have done and what I’m going to do next. Thank you for what you are!!
Thanks for simply saying this. Nothing more said.
I agree 100%. I used to watch George F. Will. He was a Journalist, he liked baseball. I liked his soft intellectual style. Then I started reading the Wall Street Journal 'editorial section'. And Limbaugh. I'd say it a different way Josh. Find people you want to be like and emulate them, do what they do! I'd go to Southdale Library, I started reading Founding Fathers books. If I kept it up; I'd be a Constitutional Lawyer now, and on News Max as a Contributing Commenter! HA! I'm happy! I am relatively poor, but I was a successful Doctor's son. So my childhood was nice. Now I'm a worker, with an interesting mind, and talent. BA Liberal Arts degree. I like the Save America movement, makes me feel glamorous. Makes me tick. Money or no. I work for money. Thanks for video Tommy Boy! LOL!! Wooo!
I do believe its about your mindset thanks for a inspiring video
Me and my wife sacrificed and worked all the over time we could get for 2 years and we bought our land. We went from renting in the city to owning our first home on 7 acres out in the country.
Yeah, we are poor folk but blessed and working hard to improve. We look at you as an inspiration. I guess people don't pay attention when you say first generation farm, that's what we are and are going down all different kinds of avenues to make this kind of life a success. Right now we are leasing with the goal of buying land at some point. But you are right Josh, watching and learning from people who have made a success in the field that you care about is how you learn and grow. Thanks for being one of those people! Blessings
why are you "poor folk"....again....you decide to put yourself in this compartment....gotta get that mindset to reflect how rich you truly are inside your heart....I know you are so rich inside your heart!!
Travis is giving the Best Free Advice you will ever get. Be Thankful.
lol....who's Travis? Picking on ya buddy....I hear what you're saying! Josh
I'm a long term subscriber.... I remember how that land was when you first started.....you made it happen. all the way teaching people how. Great job. Some people just get frustraighted. I feel sorry for them.
thanks Dave!
VERY WELL SAID! I came from the trailer park but went on in my life to improve and make something of myself. So true, it's a mindset.
Amen!!!
Yes brother!!!!!❤❤ On a side note, your beard looks gorgeous!
lol...thank you....sad..I just cut it the other day....was so hot!
Everyone makes their own bed. Keep up the good videos.
amen!!
I agree you are right on. You are only what you want to be.
You make your own luck with persistence and hard work.
luck is putting yourself in a position to be successful in my opinion....luck is opportunity....if we don't open our minds to opportunity we'll never have success right?
Josh people are only as strong as the mindset that they have 🐺 you have to be the wolf in this day and time and not the sheep 🐑 glad to see you are doing good my friend stay cool 👍
heck...ya don't even have to be a wolf...you just can't make yourself a victim of nothing...that's as simple as it gets. Just not being down on yourself makes all the difference! Get up...get out and make something....don't be afraid to fail! Failure accorts success!
Agree 100%, with you and I must say your pleasant and lively nature make it easier to get sponsors etc, I can be as positive as there is no tomorrow my introvert nature helps me going nowhere slowly LOL. Great show
don't use "introvert" as a tool to keep ya down brother! I'm an introvert around most people, I'm quiet, reserved and a bit of an introvert around crowds of people.....some of the most successful people around are introverts....what you must be is a confident introvert, learn, study, read and practice talking! You got this brother!! Confidence!! You got it!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thanks so much for the encouragement
Great video Josh, people are always gonna be jelly. Nothing wrong with being successful or buying nice things.
I honestly don't think most folks understand that any success in life takes work...dedication and time!
Good rant Josh,,,,,, I too have been around wealthy successful people and they work their butts off and to get up there to the point where they use their resources and their knowledge gained over that time of hard work to make something of themselves. You are absolutely right that you should surround yourself with those kind of people. Bless you sometimes people need to hear a wake up call. I remember watching a thing on the History Channel I think about the founders in business and the craft brothers took 13 or 15 years to actually figure out how you pasteurize cheese . Then you might say they got lucky in World War II came along and they put their cheese in the rucksacks of all of the army and people accepted it then but before that there was a lot of bad press about it ... then they went ahead and it was accepted and they worked their butts off to build their company .. I think you are so right and this was so good to hear.. take care of my friend I am so happy for your success and I know you didn't get it overnight and it wasn't given to you right on.
Good stuff Josh.. We immigrated to this great country from Italy when I was 5 years old.. We had nothing!!!! My mom and dad worked their butts off and taught us the importance of working hard.. My Dad always said "buy land and KEEP IT! This was imbedded in my mind!! I graduated from college, worked hard and started buying land.. I am 58 years old and retired from corporate America almost two years ago and now own and operate a cow calf ranch that my wife and I built together!!! Moral of my story, believe in God, believe in yourself, take risks, work hard, invest wisely and most importantly find your soul mate that believes in you and loves you unconditionally..
that's an awesome story...thanks so much for sharing it!
People don’t realize all the hard work that goes into this , I salute you from here at the tater tot ranch 👍
💯correct Josh!! Thank you .. Have a great week.. Also thank you for being a nurse, very important roll.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
You bet
Great video Josh. I really appreciate every one of your videos and everything you have to say. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God Bless.
My wife and I also struggled for years thinking we would never own land but after years of hard work we were finally able to purchase a beautiful 40 acre farm. We also were not born into any money it just took us working hard and overcoming challenges.
similar story. I lived in trailer park. Poor as hell. Started working at 11 years old. Went in the Army. Cop for 24 years. I have some land now. My wife thanks my every week for the life we have now. Make it happen.
Wow ! All great words of wisdom !! In my opinion this new generation of kids coming up they have no work ethic because they r spoiled and never been taught . Thinking they should get something free or robbing and stealing to make it -if they ever read the Bible and believe n GOD they should know GOD wants u too work hard and make urself the best person u can b on this earth for this short time . Believe n urself and b a good person and work hard ! U can b anything u want to b BUT u have to work hard and live a different way of life 🙏✝️💫
Great Video, your hard work is showing off and anyone who can’t see that needs prayer.
anyone that dedicates themselves and gets this mindset out of their head will have success in whatever they do....but we'll never be successful thinking it's just gonna fall in our laps right?
A blessing from above, don't leave out the Lord God Almighty. Not "luck" blessings, that's what I belive, and yes it takes lots of work, praise the LORD he has given you strength and wisdom to search for "knowledge to success"
Religion is important....however depending on your faith ...religion can also be a pitfall...."GOD" isn't gonna give it to you.....our free will to persevere is what makes us successful in my mind
When My Wife and I got married right out of high school 40+ yrs ago we had less than 10k first yr, interest rates were at 13% I was raised using an out house, we're now not rich with over abundance but we don't have an out house, I know those who had things handed down to them, eventually pissed it all away.
hard work, planning and perseverance right! Success isn't just handed to ya is it? We've all gotta work at it...even if it is handed down to us...like a family business, we've still gotta work at it, plan and make what we want out of life right?
Exactly, we've been blessed, I have to
give the Good Lord the credit tho.
It's not just the "poor me" attitude. Some people really don't have a single clue where success comes from. It's assumed that success is achieved by luck or inheritance. Many people just simply can't wrap their minds around the fact that a person can go from living in a single wide to running a self sustaining farm and a successful youtube channel through years hard work and discipline. It's wild times we're living in. Great video. Every human needs to watch this.
whether it's a farm or a business selling widgets...a man/woman will never get anywhere playing the victim. In this age of information...all it takes is a minute amount of energy to research and find a way to fulfill your dreams.....there's no excuse for laziness and that's what seems to be driving our world nowadays!
Absolutely correct ! This is why I watch your content,I have achieved the same success by living the same principles,raised with little but taught to never give up and you can succeed ! I also purchased a 140 acre farm 4 yrs ago that my daughter and husband now live on,we are turning it around that's how I ran across your videos ! It's called work anyone can achieve it ! Keep up the great videos !
I am 16 years old and I agree 100 percent with you
awesome!!! Keep that great attitude! You can be anything you wanna be!!
GREAT content, probably one of your best productions since you started your channel! You are spot on about FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) being generated by the mainstream media outlets; anyone wanting to be successful should stop watching the "new." Thanks Josh for great content!
Anybody in this country can improve their way of life if they choose to do so. Absolutely some people’s paths are easier than others no doubt about that BUT, if you try hard enough you can absolutely achieve any goal you set for yourself
