Nathan Porter: Goodview Woodworks

“Why is it called “GoodView”? It’s super simple. I live on Buena Vista Road, so that’s the English translation of, Buena Vista’s. “GoodView”. Not as cool as you might think, but business, as to woodworking business. It actually started out as a YouTube channel. Wasn’t really a full-on business.”

– Nathan Porter

Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Nathan Porter, the founder of GoodView Woodworks.

Nathan’s business name is called “GoodView” for the simple reason that he resides on Buena Vista Road, which is Buena Vista’s English translation. The company actually began as a YouTube channel. Nathan wanted to share some videos and he wanted to learn how to do river tables, and this was five years ago, back when hardly anybody knew about river tables. He built a coffee table for a friend, and documented the process, as a result, the videos quickly gained popularity. Each episode of his five-part series received 300,000 views.

This episode will be a bit different because Steve will be interviewing a successful coaching client who is also a Woodpreneur. They will discuss Nathan’s financial situation as a business owner prior to working with Steve and/or enrolling in his coaching program, the process of working with Steve coming straight from one of his students, and tune in as they reflect on the inspiration behind the creation of GoodView.

Listen now and get the whole story!

“Our purpose was to share that with other families, give them a reason to sit down at the table and talk and grow their families not just in numbers but in being connected with each other”

Taking That One Big Step Towards Reaching Your Goals

Everybody has to start somewhere. Why not begin right now? No matter what you have or what is going on in your life? The things we want are rarely, if ever, presented to us on a plate, but life is an exhilarating journey. We must make progress toward them, and we begin by making a single, little step.

Nathan believes that everyone must start somewhere and that recognition and success do not come easily. However, it doesn’t take long for people to begin to realize what is happening.

We might be terrified of that big jump, but that’s fine, it’s perfectly fine to feel that way. Don’t let your fear prevent you from taking risks or stepping outside of your comfort zone.

“You have to start somewhere and it’s not going to happen instantly. But it doesn’t take a lot of time for people to start recognizing what’s going on.”
