Ryan, I feel your pain. There is nothing like having to deal with people who think they're so entitled. Customers who hold your money hostage and nit pick every little thing that has anything to do with what you may have worked on. They know that litigation is to time consuming to really bother with unless it is extreme. They are the ones who are guilty of breach of contract, and it doesn't matter how much you try to please them. They will never be pleased and they prey upon the really good business people who go the extra mile to please their customers. I could pay you so many compliments, but I think the best one I can say is, You Are a Good Man!

Once my cousin said to me, " People like to see you do well and be successful but people, some people, just LOVE to see you fall. They seem to get a real kick out of seeing me struggle. " You were absolutely spot on with what you said.

I love your attitude with this patch job. Its such a tough life lesson. I don't know how you see it. But for me in those situations, it isn't about the other person. I have to look at things like that, asking myself the question. "What is worth it to me?" I can take so many different roads. The most tempting is to give into resentment and spite. But I find I really end up hurting myself in the end. Often times, I get the most out of doing acts of service for others, specially if I REALLY don't want to do it. Going through that reminds me to be humble, that there is value in just doing for someone else. At the end of everything, how I feel about myself and my actions when I lay my head on my pillow at night is the most precious thing to me. I try not to live a life where I have to carry guilt or shame around with me. He's so right, its better to not make a big deal over it and do it for her.

You're not trying hard enough, or it's just not your time yet. At that point you can put your best foot forward and as long as you give it your all, you'll always have the reassurance that the ONLY reason is it just isn't your time yet. And the thing about your time, it doesn't expire until you do. So long as you're waking up another day, and long as you're trying your hardest, it's simply a waiting game. Everyone has their time.

Man I like Ryan generosity and knowledge sharing.
Yeah most bosses would never encourage you. Just want to keep you doing all the hard work for them and pay as little as possible.
Erik is a lucky man, Ryan’s advice is priceless.
He’s not just a boss he’s a leader. A REAL MAN
You can definitely tell Eric takes everything Ryan says to heart . He needs to stay around Ryan
Forgetting that patch was a blessing , Eric’s always there at the right time, you were battling with yourself about your take on the situation but he was there for you to vent to. you were able to get the frustration out and continue with the mentality that you usually have 👍🏾
Ryan, I feel your pain. There is nothing like having to deal with people who think they're so entitled. Customers who hold your money hostage and nit pick every little thing that has anything to do with what you may have worked on. They know that litigation is to time consuming to really bother with unless it is extreme. They are the ones who are guilty of breach of contract, and it doesn't matter how much you try to please them. They will never be pleased and they prey upon the really good business people who go the extra mile to please their customers. I could pay you so many compliments, but I think the best one I can say is, You Are a Good Man!
Ryan, the amount of patience you have for people is insane. I would have looked at that gouge in the concrete and told the lady “ yeah it’ll cost you the $1k you still owe me”
And some.

" You were absolutely spot on with what you said.

That customer will definitely be calling you back for any little thing. Good on you to fix it. Great video!
I don’t understand why she didn’t make the guy that did the damage pay for the repair.
Well even that is a bit wild. This was so little most people would have fixed it themselves / ignored it completely. When the post gets installed, there is a overlap from the holes too that pretty much covers it all up. This was absolute insanity on so many levels, and I can only feel for Ryan.
Believe me, she made him pay for it. I'm pretty sure she didn't pay him a single cent for his work!
He didn't damage it! It flaked, not chipped, the railing base would 100% cover it, she's the type that just wants to be difficult and maybe save a few bucks. I definitely would have handled that differently than Ryan, which is what she deserved.
BIG UPS to you Ryan for been a great boss and a leader. Not all company owners wanna help their employees get ahead in life. Just that alone shows a lot about the person you are .
I love how even though the chip in the staircase was “extremely small, you still satisfied your customer!! Good look’s! 👍
I love your attitude with this patch job. Its such a tough life lesson. I don't know how you see it. But for me in those situations, it isn't about the other person. I have to look at things like that, asking myself the question. "What is worth it to me?" I can take so many different roads. The most tempting is to give into resentment and spite. But I find I really end up hurting myself in the end. Often times, I get the most out of doing acts of service for others, specially if I REALLY don't want to do it. Going through that reminds me to be humble, that there is value in just doing for someone else. At the end of everything, how I feel about myself and my actions when I lay my head on my pillow at night is the most precious thing to me. I try not to live a life where I have to carry guilt or shame around with me. He's so right, its better to not make a big deal over it and do it for her.
Your friendship with Darryl must go far back because you have more patience with him then anyone should need to. Overall, it’s a good testimony on your behalf.

Ryan, some people can never be pleased. This customer is clearly one of them. I remember there were times during the original pour that her vibes / comments raised red flags. I work with the public in an entirely different industry, and quite frankly, these type of people wear me down. You have such a positive outlook. To me, nothing you do appears to be 'easy money' -- but you choose to look at it that way.

Hello, I just found your channel. I really enjoyed hearing your views on people, business, integrity, and the additional uses of a belt. 🙃
"I have a complaining spirit right, got to knock that off" Respect this man.
I never felt a purpose in my life and have always planned to take my life after I lose all my family. it sounds wild, but that was my reality. watching you has really given me a new perspective, and new meaning in life. I aspire to be like you, Ryan. a great boss, worker, friend, husband, and of course father. thank you, these videos are a life saver.
Put some energy in to studying who Jesus is. Dont let the "religous" people speak for him. Besides they have nothing to do with you. Please dont ever take your life. Always fight.
Don't ever take your life. I lost my twin brother two years ago. To say we were extremely close is the understatement of the century, we were as close as two humans could ever possibly be. If I can go on and live my life, as hard as it is, without him, you can find some reason to live yours.
Life is beautiful bro. Always light at the end of the tunnel!
I carry this advice with me in life and apply it to everything, I hope it will help. If it ain't working out, it's either of only 2 possibilities. You're not trying hard enough, or it's just not your time yet. At that point you can put your best foot forward and as long as you give it your all, you'll always have the reassurance that the ONLY reason is it just isn't your time yet. And the thing about your time, it doesn't expire until you do. So long as you're waking up another day, and long as you're trying your hardest, it's simply a waiting game. Everyone has their time. Good Luck!
Ryan, you’re so inspirational. Keep up the good work I love when you talk to us about successful, and all this type of stuff. Makes me realize what I have and you just keep pushing me to never give up and that there will always be haters no matter what. thank you Ryan love to see what the future has for you. ❤
You are. And awesome dude man. I love how you advice and talk to the kid like if he was your age that what we call respect for everyone much love brother
Great videos to watch to me and my dad have been in landscape construction and had ups and downs but you just have to keep pushing through no time to wine and dine! Keep making these great videos you guys always get the job done.
Some people really take the Mickey !! I remember this job well and if my memory serves me you went above and beyond to make this woman happy. Sign of the times I’m afraid, People always seem to try and scam something for nothing and it really is shameful the attitude nowadays ! 😡
The crew did go out of their way so the front door could be opened without hitting anything behind it. I remember that.
I could watch these “business owner tips and insights” videos all winter vs you traveling south. The mentoring you give Eric and Franny could be a business itself.
That’s awesome you are helping people out getting started. Don’t help all the people that want money. My Dad was a professional roofer for 30 years
I like watching your vids man..I started doing concrete a few months ago for a guy who's been doing it for 35 years..I live up in Maine..we do almost 100% footings and walls and floors.. barely anyone gets driveways done up here but I like seeing other types of pours..just got done pouring a 130 by 60 foot wall today actually
Love how you’re supporting your crew even if it’s them doing their own thing! Keep it up!
she sure seems like the one he would have to take to small claims court to get the money and as busy as ryan is most weeks he doesnt have time to waste on 1,000 dollars
Ryan, I agree totally with your way of running your business, and having a good, honest and ethical accountant that has the same values and ethics as you have. >>>It says a lot about who you are, and why your business is doing as well as it is. >>>I wish you ongoing success, and it is nice to see you helping and giving Eric good advice, so that his You Tube can grow and become profitable.
Hi 20 year old dude here…just wanna say your videos have taught me a lot,nothing concrete wise but how to actually shape into more of a Man. Keep going brotha
this is the best accurate representation i have ever seen on of what it's like to be a business owner. just a day in the life. lots of stressors. im in a different business but it's exactly the same BS
Eric is incredibly lucky to work for you and learn from you. I remember being like him when I was 18 and I really hope the best for him.
Ryan I am a Firefighter and have zero knowledge of concrete, but your attitude and work ethic are addictive to watch and it is great to see those traits passed to your employees especially Eric. Keep up the great leadership and videos! God Bless from Louisiana!
all i kno about the crete is, if it's hard you need something soft and if it's hard you need something soft to cut it.
You're videos help with my depression and makes me stay motivated when I get down thanks Ryan

Ryan I have a lot of respect for people like you who aren’t jealous and motivate people like Eric to be more successful even though he works for u , I worked for a guy who became so jealous when I went on my own and would never help me with pricing or anything but respect to u✅
I can tell you actually study KZhead with the way you speak about the algorithm and watch time. It's beyond inspiring knowing you maintain a full time business while also educating yourself further into technology. I really want to be like you when I group up Ryan. Thank you for another gem of a video.
I'm 23 and currently lost in life but coming across your videos has inspired me to start working in your field. Im continuing to educate myself further by watching you and hope my journey is successful
@@letterzzz if you have hands on experience with anything theres a good chance you can start turning it into a profit right away. post some ads on local listings and facebook marketplace offering a service and theres a good chance you will get some business, and if you are good with people and good at the service you will gain positive reputation. some examples are grass cutting/line trimming lawns and snow blowing driveways, vehicle interior/exterior detailing, bicycle repair, small engine repair, vehicle service such as oil changes, tire rotations etc. that's what i did with bicycle repair 4 years ago. didnt make much the first year but i have made a steady increase of profit each year along with investing lots into tools. many of my customers are repeat customers so be kind to people and they will be kind back
@@bmxscape Id like to start by thanking you for this information, I'll try and implement it into my work ethic for sure. I can also see how mixing work with something you genuinely enjoy doing is the perfect chemistry. Take Ryan or yourself for example, it's very motivating and eye opening
I started my buisness 28 years ago stayed small ,got cancer ,doc took my voicebox ,but im still doing small jobs .I love my job i always have .Good for you
I had a guy who did not pay for a job. I just chalked it up to experience. Well, that happened several years ago. The guy must have forgotten about not paying me. It was pleasurable to tell him i would not come and even give him an estimate, because he did not pay me for the job i did for him. Years ago. Never heard from him again. Not a loss.
Thank you brother for always being a great example ❤
When she called about the tiny chip that would have been a perfect time to bring up the money she owes Victory. That job looks absolutely perfect too!
Yeah she owes 1k
You are a genious on your comments. They say you know friends in bad times. It has taking me a life long to realized that good friends really are known in good times....
i like listening to you talk on a personal level especially when it hits close to home.
Good to see Eric maturing and putting more thought into his future with a great teacher in Boss man Ryan. Keep it up
I really appreciate the way you take your guys under your wing and try to help them succeed in life. Not just at your jobs. I love watching Eric and Francisco though E needs to get a camera on a tripod! Holy smokes I get dizzy. 😂
What's the name of the channel
What is the channel called
My family is the exact opposite, they say there happy for me but at the same time say we’ll if not going do well than you should go back to a steady job. It’s hard to be positive and have negative family. Love the vids keep it up
The advice on family hit home. New subscriber just got that. Dealing with it right now as I try to start on my own.
Hi Ryan, I love watching your videos because I always learn something new. I am 23 years old and getting my license as a GC in California as first generation. You inspire me so much to be an awesome human being first, and then a boss in second. You are truly a leader and I wish you nothing but the best for your business. Keep the videos coming in the winter please.
I am going through the same thing at the moment, started my concrete and sheds business two years ago in New Zealand. Everyone was happy and supportive of my business. Now everyone jealous, you take the risk you get the rewards. Great job Ryan love your videos.
Why they jealous
@@Sa.d.bo26 they get jealous of the success and $$$
I am delight about your respectful on your business to know about how to bring your business up successfully. Know to handle your customer problem is that what customer service and you even make not difficult. When people see you are good contrator, the word will spread and people will trust on you to do their job. Your business will go to next level to bring more customer in.
As a block layer friend of mine said when he was having difficulty in getting paid, "it would be an awful shame for me to undo what I have done "
I already knew when I saw the woman on your video she was going to be a problem Ryan. But seriously, you make it an effort to make people happy regardless of the circumstance. God bless you.
That lady is off her rocker. Some customers you can just never satisfy. The thing that gets me it's the railing guys fault. He should be held responsible you didn't do anything wrong .
I'd be making him pay me too for fixing it
Thats why I like Eric, hes such a happy figure, never seen him down. I said it before but hes one of my favorite peeps on your channel Ryan, genuine cool guy
Your Business advise is spot on. I own 2 business's. When I first started in 1998 I had tons of friends. I how have 4 close friends and just a bounce of people I know.
I'm getting into a complaining mood Iol I would have told her take it out of the $1000 you owe me!!! Enjoy watching your shows and how you take pride in the job you are doing making sure everything is done right. Wisconsin is a beautiful place much love and happy holidays from Hawaii
