On my first trip to Thailand in 2001, I noticed all the cheap Goods that they sold, and I ended up importing those every year and selling them at summer festivals. I even found a manufacturer to make some items specifically for me to sell. I did this for 10 years
Once upon a time, a guy from Austria came to Thailand, tasted red bull, and thought: "If i sell this sugar water in Europe, i can make billions of it." I still don't get it.
I’m an Ex Engineer and am 51 years old, I have just sold everything I own including my house of 18 years. I’m about to move over to Thailand in the next couple of months with the view of starting some form of online business and look forward to exploring Nomad school and seeing what I can do with it, so it’s not just entirely young guys who are developing this kind of mindset
Yeah! I first went abroad at 29 & it worked out a lot better than if I’d left at 21 when I first thought about it. Still abroad now a decade later & happy about it despite family not liking it 😅
It will take years to build something that works.. i started when i was 24-26 im 30 now and just now things are coming together the puzzle pieces start to add up
@@RetireandGo thank you man💪 same to you 😁
How many hours a day did you work on your business
So true.
@@Mikamichaeany time i got, but thats not the most important thing, some business ideas wont work, i had a business that went bankrupt because of the bureaucracy and stress and it drained me out of money and energy and got into a burnout, but atleast i learned alot, and i know what not to do
The Nike story is WILD. I used the Magnates Media video about him in my AP English classroom in China. His story gave me the courage to leave that classroom and move into a work from home job even as my family was so confused 😂. I’ll read the book for sure-thanks for the recommendation.
I also agree STRONGLY with your words about how flexible you are in your 20’s! I am now at the age where I like nicer things but am happy that I made the time to travel in my 20’s.
Spot on mate, amazing the number of creativity and young people (20-30) creating startups and chasing dream ideas here in Thailand.
Be it creating apps, digital agencies, affiliate sites and various platform etc.
It’s no guarantee you will be successful but connect with the right group here’s and everyone wants each other to succeed and will genuinely offer what ever they can to help out.
Even in the few months I’ve been in Chiang Mai it’s incredible seeing how many youth have developed their ideas and themselves to become successful.
Life is affordable here and you can take risks like take 3 months off here that won’t send you broke.
Fortune favours the bold. The big advantage when you are in your twenties is that you can take risks, fall flat on your face but (usually 😆) bounce back. It gets progressively more difficult as you get older particularly once you have a family. I suppose the alternative is earn really good money asap after school/uni in IT/finance etc, save and invest and then chill out in your 30s/40s/50s when you have become financially independent. Or like me just wing it and see how it turns out 😎.
For those raring to go but needing a blueprint to set things in motion, don't miss out on my Digital Nomad Framework ➡ brettdev.com/workshop
Totally Agree!
Great video, been watching your videos for a few weeks now but the issue is getting clients and customers. First two businesses didn’t work now on my third one but not able to get clients as a freelancer and agency owner.
Join Nomad School. You'll get a lot of help there.
Well said
Love your philosophy Brett. As a baby boomer, I admire guys like you! Take care. 🙏🏼
It’s pronounced Ni-kee :) never heard anyone pronounce it that way before. I live in Oregon and actually met Phil Night years ago at the University of Oregon. He lives here in Portland area.
Nike is the greek goddess of victory. Perhaps we should ask someone from Greece to find out the right pronounciation.
@@inzidenziaschulz7972 Lol sure!
I was in grade 4 when Nikes came out. Even back then the main topic in school was how is it pronounced. 🤣
Wise words from wise lad👍
Hum... Looks like you met a lot of negative people. Maybe I did too, but without thinking about it I guess I was brushing them aside instantly or giving them an unmistakable 'F yourself' look. But you are right: just f...ucking do it.
Making the switch from translator to copywriter is very hard though.
I reached the top in the translation industry, but now, it feels rough to start from scratch, and I don't find entry level jobs.
As you said, I don't care that much about the money, despite being in my... early 40s. (Well, I saved enough to start a new life anywhere if I want to)
But I just need now to find people who will accept to give basic copywriting tasks to a guy with almost no experience.
