How to Become a Digital Nomad - The Easy Way kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLKKgtKhpra8ZGg.html

Brett is giving great advice! Don't come here with no plan and little money. Unless you are prepared to go back home again. Take a realistic look at your own capabilities. Always have a plan B. Then if you feel good about everything. Go for it!

Absolutely i left England at the age of 28, absolutely hated it, 9-5 job, cold people, bad weather. Anyone who leaves that country does the right thing.

I found you because of your video on CM Chinatown. I lived in CM for 13 years ( 16 yrs In Thailand) and worked online all that time. I see a lot of great advice here, advice that certainly was not available to be when I started working online in Thailand. I became a bit disillusioned with Thailand after 16 years, and a lot of people who live there that long experience the same thing. Believe me Thailand was very different 20 years ago, but it’s still a great place to start a new life!

Ive been living in Dubai for 7 years and moving to CM later this year, and you are spot on about speaking to people back home. When I go home I feel like I dont belong there. Id be doing the same old things if I had stayed. Looking forward to getting out of the rat race and a more free life in Thailand.

Many of these points hit home Brett . Great video !

Thanks- it often takes a painful situation to cause us to change our ways, 😊

Sterling work as always Brett. You are certainly wise beyond your years. Have a great day my friend.

Nice! Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍

Nice video Brett. How is the atmosphere in Chiang Mai now? I am in Vietnam right now and feel like it's a bit disappointing compared to before Covid. Less friendliness, feels a bit "cold" compared to the past.

Hi Brett nice video !! Defo you should do a 2nd part

I click your vids as soon as I see them. More of an immediate goal for me is to work from home (which I've done before), but still as a 9-5 while I study to get into web dev. Living in London at the moment and the next desired phase after getting into tech would be to be able to live anywhere in the UK while being able to work without having to be at a specific place. Although you're often not talking directly to someone like me, I think your advice is pretty relevant to my goals. One of your points that struck me is about 'stubbornness'; I've never asked for help, and used to be proud of it. But recently I got some consultation help that my company paid for; made me realize just how much I didn't know. Now I recommend 'getting help' to anybody who is willing to hear.

Great tips. Removing mental barriers is key, and also removing those little micro barriers and distractions in daily life is also important, those little things that pull your attention away and stop you getting stuff done. Two good videos on this that helped me along are Alex Becker's video "How Biz Gurus keep you poor and stuck" and Sam Ovens "Death By a Thousand Cuts" videos. Bottom line - cancel Netflix, put phone down and in another room, turn off PS4 and sell it, and just learn to focus on your project for a period of time, without anything else pinging off distracting you.

Well I just came across your stuff man. I'm looking to manage my business here in Canada and move to Thailand I think you'll have a ton of insight for me, looking forward to binging your channel.

Great level headed video and advice.

Nice and informative video, always a good idea to be prepared.

Yes, patience is a huge one! I started my KZfaq channel 2 years ago and I'm still trying to get monetized. I'm going to spend a couple of hours this morning writing another script, then another 6-10 hours editing in a couple days. It may be another year for me, who knows, but you can't expect to make money online right out of the gate. You gotta put the work in.

This is a very Inspiring video man … from Ireland living in Barcelona and still fighting for my life to succeed

Heartfelt video Brett, everyone needs to know "who" they are and "why". If you can't figure it out then you will never know "what" you want and "why" you want it, no matter where you call home.

Bret Dev More Truth !! Love It. My opinion - best is to have a Rental Property in your home country. Work online From Your Home Country First. See how that works.

Comfort and Slavery vs Struggle and Freedom. Facts right there. Trying to make the transition man.

Well I have 2 things going for me. I'm retired in Bangkok presently and I have social security from the US which is considered to be pretty good. But I want the extra income and something to keep myself busy. Brett thanks so much for your videos I'm going to be persistent like I've done with other things in my life. Thanks again!

Great recommendation RE: Simon Sinek 👍 Very helpful. And Brett, thank you. You consistently provide meaningful value as well as information. You seem to take serious what needs to be, disregarding the rest. I can and am learning a lot from you. 🙏

What is the best area to stay in your city if you want to walk to restaurants, stores, bars, etc… Thanks for your time and help!

Thanks Brett Dev, really really appreciate your honesty, I'm an avid worker, even most Sundays. My dream is to be a nomad and still work online. Thanks for the constant vlogs and the transparency. I'm also in my 40s, and still have that passion for nomadic working. Rhanks again

I could see myself out there once my online Counselling Biz takes off. Im starting my MSC Psych this year, and will have it completed by mid next year. After that, because of the way of the world, online options have opened up, and with webcam/speaker/mic tech the way it is, I could literally run my biz from anywhere in the world, without technically working in the country im chilling at. This is why I always keep your tips, and channel in the fore front of my mind, you seem like a down to earth fella who has it right figured out, and I agree with you on pretty much everything that you put out there. We will see if the world opens up to the unjabbed again considering all the new knowledge coming out into the mainstream.

Good sound solid advice Thank you Brett but I I still believe it takes a special type of person/character to do your job

Brett do you do the Thailand pass Applications for people for a fee? I will be interested because I’m not very good at computers or technology

The same rule applies to any where you want to live , you just have to decide what is the lifestyle and culture is going to give you your best life and the rest will depend on the work that you put into it ,to reap the rewards.

Enjoying your channel mate. My partner and daughter are coming with me to your neck of the jungle in October to get a vibe. Always hear good things. Checked southern Thailand before but am very interested in Chiang Mai. Would be interested to hear your bits on dental work and also eye surgery such as lens replacement, costs etc? Stay content! Chas.

how much money we need to come and live in Thailand?

Hey Brett how ya doin, can I ask what camera you are using in this video?

Hi, Brett! Thank you for your awesome content! I just moved to Chiang Mai. I am looking for a business community to belong to. What do you recommend? I’m not a digital nomad. I am exporting jewelry. That said, any group that meets regularly and does cool, positive things would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and best wishes to you today and always.

Thank You Bret, You have inspired me several times through out the 4+ years I have been in Thailand. I came to Thailand in 2018 on a one way, with $1000.00 and have made it. It was hard, buy well worth it.

This video is so inspiring Brett! I've been watching your videos for a few years but really hadn't found the online niche that I could be successful with until recently. Now working hard to get there as a cloud data engineer and hoping that by next year I can take the plunge and experience some time working on this outside of the UK.

what are your income streams brett ?

Solid Advice!

Very great and educational video Brett . Thanks a lot

How do you live here full time. What visa are you on.Your under 50 but good luck to you. My income private pension stops me from really giving it full time. Well done to you for doing what you do. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Great video. I took the leap one year ago and have not looked back.

What is your impression on age and starting up/getting customers if your close to 50 when moving over to Thailand? as a digital nomad.. I'm aiming to take a t!wo year study in digital design/web design. Thx for all the great content

great advise brett , i just moved to bangkok about 6weeks ago , I'm sticking to my plan i just hope it works lol

I love u bro

Man like BD! Good job 👍

The best thing you learned me, Brett, is "Just do it".

Brett, would you teach me in person? I'm leaving my job in the UK soon and want to travel. I don't mind coming to Thailand for a month.

Hey Brett, weird question, do you ever get used to the tropical climate? With everything going on in the Western world, political strife, inflation, etc., I've been thinking of packing up and moving to Thailand, at least temporarily. I'm just concerned about adapting to the heat and humidity of a tropical country. I live in the southeastern US so I'm no stranger to hot weather, but Thailand's weather just appears to be on a whole other level.

Keeping it real bro, too many postcard versions of thailand.

To quote Matt Damon from a crypto commercial… “Fortune favors the bold.” Hahaha… But there is truth in it. Rarely do you reap great reward, without risk AND sacrifice in the initial stages.

I live in chiang mai Would you like to meet someday ?
