I'm I. Chiang Mai now and I was thinking I should put lots of time into learning thai but you're right. Priority should be making sure I can keep consistent remote work going
Took me three years on and off Brett. I’ll be in India living on the rental income from my property in one month. It was definitely hard work and took a lot of study and effort. Thanks for all your help btw.
Many RUclipsr's Put Out Alot Of Content And Talk Endlessly, Which Usually Equates To Wasting Time, And Learning Next To Nothing.😒 However, Brett Spoke For 11:42 And Dropped Some Absolute Jewels, That Are Actionable, Useful & Totally Doable.👍👍 THANK YOU!
Rome wasn't built in a day! It's such a true acronym for making your digital nomad lifestyle a reality. My transition is still in progress, from full time teaching, to private teaching to creating lessons online for sale. That is my mindset and plan, from September this year i will be part time with live classes, the time saved will be dedicated to creating the online strategy, which i would like to believe will be ready and scalable by the end of 2024. So with that timescale i will fit into the 18 month time bracket! Thats for the video and tips Brett!
Excellent video as always Brett - it delivered some useful perspective on the realities of becoming financially independent and the opportunity of becoming a digital nomad if that's your chosen route. The key takeaway is it CAN be done, more quickly for some than others, true, but ultimately achievable 👍
I have nearly 5K subs, only make roughly $120/mo... been making videos for 6+ years. Albeit not very consistent in the beginning and not niching down / creating multiple channels sooner. What's currently some of the better remote jobs one could have while waiting on the self-employed business to catch traction?
Love the channel. Will say theres no magcial place to be a remote worker/nomad from. Find your perfect place and try to find well paid work or do your own thing, its a simple decision if you want it.
Here's an idea if one wants to travel and it's what I'm doing and I said this last week: I'd say if anybody has VERY BASIC web programming skills or at least a BASIC understanding of the LOGIC behind programming; I don't care if it's from just knowing HTML by itself!! Heck, HTML IS programming and it follows general programming concepts. So, if you know only HTML and can just build a landing page with UNDERSTANDING of how it works, then you're good!! Then, I'd say start learning a frameworks like Laravel right now!!! Just watch videos and they'll fill in the blanks of what you don't know. I started doing this last week (and I said I did), and I picked it up after a DAY or TWO because I already understand a bit of programming. And If there was something I didn't understand, I just googled it or came to youtube. But, because of my BASIC knowledge of web programming, I didn't even have to do much of that. I only had to look up small syntax things. ---I say this because there are A LOT of remote jobs for frameworks like Laravel. It looks like at least 1000 plus. And most of the job ads I've seen for this framework are remote. And learning the framework wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought. It may looked scary at first for some, but with some UNDERSTANDING of programming, just dive in and watch videos. I think the harder part is just sitting ones butt down and just doing it!! --But, use the idea that you want to travel and go to Thailand, etc. as your motivation to keep you going. If you know BASIC web programming or know BASIC programming AT ALL, then you could already be well on your way to enjoying Thailand, Vietnam, Colombia or whatever by just taking a FEW days (or maybe a week) to learn a framework. Hence, this is just some of the progress I made since last week and I'm just giving back and am trying to encourage those who all have the same goals as me. I used to live in Thailand. But, I want to live there as a digital nomad instead of a teacher. Anyway, I hope this helps. So, come on! Let's leave America or whatever country you want to leave!! Let's go!!
I did something like that. But I went the QA route. Currently working that job. While a remote online job is better than working an office 9-5 or physical job, you are still kind-of constrained. You still have to “show up”, attend SCRUMs and other meetings, and be available for 8 hours per day. Personally, I see getting a remote job as a stepping stone to full independence. A remote online business.
@@RealPolitik-dy4it yes, I agree. What I mentioned was meant to be one idea and a stepping stone for one to at least be able to work remotely, be location independent and even leave their country if that's their goal. But then, from there, one could even expand on the above skills I mentioned, and branch off and eventually (and hopefully) be in a place in their life where they could eventually call the shots and work on their own terms and work on their own schedule and what-not.
Sitting in my Pattaya hotel room doing what you just said gives total validation. Focus on being able to leave the cooperate after 41 years and chill with a retirement income to live in a style I would like to become accustomed in a warm hospitable dry - ish land - all with smiles. The choice of how to earn is wide so the method employed to get to where you want to be will differ from person to person - its the end result we must focus on as you so rightly say. Sometimes I start things which I discover are not a good fit, so time to pivot and discover something that does. I do not think of them as mistakes or errors, just lessons on what will not work for me. As an electrician I look at Edison who took 1000 experiments to discover his light bulb, it took me many less to find mine. What's your number of lessons learnt before the solution is found? It does not matter - just do it and work at it until it does.

Awesome video Brett! Needed this. We are in such a now now society, patience and perseverance is key

Patience & considerable effort pays. Simple math. Stay humble. 💯
Love the channel. Will say theres no magcial place to be a remote worker/nomad from. Find your perfect place and try to find well paid work or do your own thing, its a simple decision if you want it.
Sound advice. Been a full time freelancer for 2.5 years and should be ready to travel by 2024.
Financial Freedom and Location Independence are two different animals. They don't both have to happen to enjoy being, somewhere out there...
I thought Brett was going to tell us how to start an OnlyFans account

Brett you are a web developer?
I would say at least 7years. 5years studying hard, 3hours per day plus 2years to grow your bussiness.
Please do a video on how you can live in Thailand under 50 long term
Two words: Thai Elite.
Get married to Thai.

Hate my life in Australia.
Hate my job.
This is appealing.

Good video.
Thanks!
