Before I get going with the fourth episode of A Day in the Life of Extreme John I would like to welcome any first time readers that might be coming through my blog for the first time. Too get anyone that might have missed out caught up as well as any new readers caught up on what the whole “Day in the life of” crap is all about I’ll take a second to explain it. Basically I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago asking everyone here on my blog what they would like my 1000th post to be about, the “making a video thing” came up again and I finally decided to do it. I honestly never thought anyone would really care about seeing what I do on a daily basis, but what the hell do I know right? My boy James from MMA Punk has been telling me to do videos for probably a year or so now, most of you that subscribe to my rss feed know that I pretty much never do videos here and when I do videos I usually hate them.
Anyway, no sense on dragging this out longer that I need to, here’s the fourth episode in the series of videos that will take you through my day on February 5, 2010, or at least most of it.
I hope you enjoy the fourth episode of A Day in the Life of Extreme John
A Day in the Life of Extreme John
Before I get out of here I will say that doing this was pretty weird and I still hate the videos, hopefully a few of you will find a few of the episodes to be decent. I will be releasing the next video on Monday at 10pm EST, I will continue posting a new video every Monday and Thursday at 10pm until the videos are done, better set those reminders now…. haha.
Leave a comment and let me know what your thoughts on the first video are, I tried to keep each video short and sweet.
Check out A Day in the Life of Extreme John Episode 3 if you missed it.

Video doesn’t work – same as with video 2, it’s listed as “private” so can’t see it.
Klaus @ TechPatio´s last blog ..Study: Will You Pay For Online Content? “Maybe!”
@Klaus @ TechPatio, I’m getting the same thing!
Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..Blazing Minds Interviews Dr. Rus D. Jeffrey
@Karen @ Blazing Minds, fixed ty Karen
@Klaus @ TechPatio, both videos are no longer in “private” mode… Sorry about that, hence the reason I hate scheduling sometimes.
Yay – now the video works, thanks.
Crazy regarding that alternator. Hope you can get it fixed?
It was nice to see that black Mustang as you walked by, I looooved my Mustang rental in the US last summer. I’m not getting one this summer because I’m going to the east coast, probably a Grand Marquis or something
Klaus @ TechPatio´s last blog ..Apple Released Aperture 3 = Lots Of Problems !!!
@Klaus @ TechPatio, it should be illegal to go from a Mustang to a Grand Marquis…. haha
@Extreme John, Exactly!! But it’s a lot cheaper for me to rent through the travel agency than directly from Hertz and so I have to accept a limited selection of cars – they only have “fun cars” available in California and Florida etc, not on the East Coast. They did offer me a Lincoln Navigator though, but nooo thanks – way too big
Klaus @ TechPatio´s last blog ..Apple Released Aperture 3 = Lots Of Problems !!!
@Klaus @ TechPatio, hey Klaus don’t write off the Navigator, I rented one of those from Hertz in New York once and LOVED IT! Awesome truck to drive and as easy to drive as a car, has balls too.
@Extreme John, really? Hmm, I don’t know if it’s too late to change, I already booked the trip. I guess I could upgrade when I come to pick it up – depending on what they have available. It’s probably not a “guaranteed model” either, but instead “Lincol Navigator or similar” -like with the Grand Marquis.

@Paul, thank you and thank you for taking the time to comment.
Very cool, very cool, look forward to watching the rest. I like the end how it you don’t think about or take to time to do things right it will cost you money. Just how big is your auto fleet.

@Jared P Little@The Money Cult, only 3 limos, 9 total automobiles.
@Extreme John, Only 3 Limo’s that’s too funny! Oh yea and 9 cars. You Rock! Way to go I must say I am jealous. I really enjoy hearing you talk about your business. So how much of that do or can you write off if you don’t mind me asking?
@Jared P Little@The Money Cult, I leave all of that stuff up to the accountant I would be the last one to even try to guess.
@Extreme John, Smart Man, one last question if you don’t mind. When did you start building your empire and how much money did you begin with?

Sorry for poppin my head out of the office like that , I just had to get my split second of fame lol , See yahh this weekend for the Fights!!!
@sangalicious1, haha hell yeah bro nothing to be sorry about glad you made an appearance.
Reality for sure.
I always thought that a limo business was easy.
Put in some gas, hire a driver and rake in the cash.
I see thats not the case.
Hard work and personal commitment is what it takes.
Do it, deligate it or trash it!

@SafariDave, Now I know why you are the top commentor Dave, you reply to yourself LOL
@sangalicious1, And you reply to my replies. You piggy backer. Keep your head in the door next time.
SafariDave´s last blog ..10 Times a day I have to… 
@SafariDave, Hey Birthday Boy , get ready for some Charlie horses when I see yahh, all 40 of them, and a wedgie!
Your building an Empire but they come and go I think your success is based directly on your personality and the personal twist and access. Many of these kinds of businesses no longer exist because the owners got whacky once they had money. I think you could mentally maintain a 1000 times more then what you now have, it’s exciting to watch how it’s done :0) Thanks

@John Sullivan, You hit on the button John. That’s exactly why businesses come and go. John’s unselfishness and personality is gonna take him to heights that most business can’t even imagine. HIs drive and thirst for knowledge is unmatched! No ass kissin but that’s the truth.
@sangalicious1, wow Dave thank you bro that means a lot! I can’t say that sitting where I sit or doing what I do on a daily basis really warrants that kind of credit though.
For every day that I hate it, there are 10 days that I love it and it’s the love of business that drives me, not money, not success.
@John Sullivan, trust me bro… If you ask a few apples from the bunch they will tell you that I suck at everything, that I have no clue what I am doing. In reality your right, everything comes and goes sooner or later and the chances of my luck running out increases each day that the lights manage to stay on, all I can do bro is be the best me from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed.
I appreciate the kind words, I personally believe that anyone can achieve anything as long as they are willing to put their mind to it and STAY WITH IT.
This is pretty cook!
Owning a business is sometimes bitter sweet, as we can see.
Nice to own a Business, but you have to put in the work to keep it up.
Isn’t mechanics fun.
Your doing an awesome job..
Miss Edie´s last blog ..The best Place for Freebies!!
@Miss Edie, thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to leave a comment, owning a business is an experience I wouldn’t trade for the world. If nothing else at all, I have a tremendous amount of appreciation for the things I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to learn.
Hey John, I assume the car has a sizable diesel engine, how come it doesn’t charge the batteries as it goes? Is it because you run so many lights and stuff in the vehicle itself.
I know I how upsetting it can be when drivers don’t do the simple checks like checking the oil. I did a spot check on one of the trucks only to find that the oil wouldn’t even register on the dip stick. I had to call for help because it takes two people to tilt the cab.
Sire´s last blog ..Where Bloggers Meet, A Forum For Bloggers
@Sire, the pink H2 is a non-diesel engine, Andre the Ford F-650 limo is a diesel.
The batteries do charge as they go, however with the equipment in these cars the batteries break down much faster than a battery in your average automobile.
We keep a pretty tight maintenance schedule that really takes the drivers out of the equation when it comes to checking vehicle fluid levels etc. They get lucky that way
@Extreme John, Well there you go. You learn something new everyday. Thanks John.

“A day” means 24 hours. How come your “A day” videos are so short? Maybe should rename as in 3 minutes out of a day.

@scheng1, because it’s a portion of “A Day in the Life of”.
Auwww! pink color.. I love pink but I’m not gay.
anyway, the pink limo is awesome..Don’t see any pink car yet in my country..
@Fazreen, be the first one
Hi John nice video. I have re tweeted your post.
chandan´s last blog ..Advice and tips on work at home
Say John, just a thought, but what if you had a spare set of batteries, that way when the pink beast came in you could change the batteries for the fully charged ones and put the other ones on charges.
Like I said, just a thought. I keep a set handy just in case they fail on one of the trucks. Saved my bacon on more than one occasion.
Sire´s last blog ..Where Bloggers Meet, A Forum For Bloggers
@Sire, we keep a few batteries on backup and that is an excellent idea Sire, changing them out after each run might be a little much with 3 per vehicle.
You should have seen how many batteries we cooked when we first got the limos, it was something along the lines of $5k within 4 days on new batteries and alternators.
@Extreme John, Oh, I thought it was just the pink beast giving you the hassle.
What if you installed a bigger alternator, one that could handle the load?
Sire´s last blog ..Perception Is Important To Your Blogging Career
That’s a lot of money but then again car repairs aren’t cheap.
Do you just monitor the battery all day or how do you manage that?
Eric´s last blog ..Vital Parts Your Site Needs – Pop Post
@Eric, no doubt car repairs definitely are costly. We do a daily check on the vehicles to avoid most issues.
