Sorry for no video last weekend... I have no excuse. Hope you all enjoy this video and enjoy seeing and hearing Junior hollering her heed off x

[meowzzies]

Seeing Junior in the new kitchen was a delight! Thanks for sharing some of the failures, they were all interesting ideas in their own right.

If you only need a 14 minute video to expose your failures then you are doing great.
I don't think the sun has enough lifetime left to allow my failures video to end without us needing torches...

[tamalamaland]

I love your channel. It's always genuine and often unexpected. I also applaud your dark side that you manage to wrestle away from a life of crime. :}

[momofkids]

You are one hard working and ambitious man! You must make your mother proud! You will find your niche and will go far 😂♥️

The candy necklace venture is a 5 ⭐️ business hustle.

[kathrynaston]

I resold candy at school. My bus stop was near a 7/11, so on the walk home, I would swing by and get a selection of popular candy. I would sell it for twice the cost. When I went to middle school, my younger brother took over and eventually expanded his business into a small store making tons of money. I underestimated the market. He charged double what I did and expanded his inventory until he actually had some product left after a day. I never had more than 10 items. He sold about 200 every day.. he also eventually had my parents purchasing candy at the base exchange in bulk, so it was very inexpensive, and he sold it for four times the cost at a 7/11, so his profit was HUGE. Since no one ever used his candy as a weapon, it never became a problem, and when a teacher asked him about it, he said he was fundraising for his Judo club. My parents thought it was hilarious, but also “encouraged” him to contribute some treats to the judo club kids on a bus ride to a meet to add legitimacy to his fundraising claim. Trust me, 20 “fun size” snickers bars handed out to a bus load of kids did not even put a dent into one hour of sales in a single day. My failure was never recognizing the potential of my own idea, and being a reluctant sales person for a product everyone wanted. Not valuing my own time in shopping for and bringing the candy to the consumers, and risking my own money on things people may not buy.

Very wise words. There are no failures just learning experiences. Keep up the good work..

I know your mom ends each day with a smile on her face. That would be me if you were my son. ❤

The logo for Beard Box is bloody genius!!

This was very interesting George. Especially enjoyed the candy necklace saga. Junior made me laugh trying to get your attention.

[rebeccahelga]

"fellow pensioners" made me guffaw 😂❤ your humor is top notch.

[t.s.]

I paused the video to let my cat in and was baffled to see him curled up inside, fast asleep. 😸

[malfunctioningeddy]

Hey there George -- I had a massive (or what *feels* like massive) failure this weekend with my own baking business. This video came at just the right time. Thank you for sharing and being forthcoming with what you describe as your failures. Onward!

[DonnaBernauer]

Your learning curve brought you to where you are today so well done, George!

[janeb]

I used to tell my students that "making a mistake is an experience from which we learn".

[GaiaCarney]

Prada. Gucci. Mulberry. Peppa Pig 🐷 George, you are so cheeky 😆

[SalsaNube]

I came across your channel by accident, and wow, didnt knew you had so much experience. In a good way. You look so young, yet have already done lots in getting to run a business. Love the airbnb you have, but your previous "failured" businesses were also interesting! And indeed, learning from such is very helpful! Cheers!

Was having a bad day so came by to listen to your lovely calm voice. Thank you George ♡

Another life lesson learned from you, George, while I get to chuckle now and then. Oh, to be young and naive. I was in my early 20's when I met a young man working for an international shoe distributor. I mentioned I liked Italian shoes. We were looking at shoes in the mall, and he said, "All these shoes are made in Asia, but we have them labeled according to the wishes of the buyers". I must say those "Italian " shoes looked great and were very expensive. It was a wake up call for me about some people's dishonesty. Until then, I believed anything anyone told me.😂
