well said my friend. My wife and I moved here 14 years ago from San Diego. Best thing we ever did. we got so much shit from people and now some of those people are considering the same shit. lol.... Live your life because it's yours.
Hi, my son is planning on moving to Vegas fom the UK to join his girlfriend who is from Vegas,obviously as a mom I have worries but its his life,he has been to Vegas many times and loves it,I know its a bit different as you are from the US but its reassuring to know its worked for you and your family,his girlfriend lives in Henderson but they are thinking of settling in Summerlin is that a good area?
Jacob this hit home with me big time! Recently I informed many people about my plans, and what do you know....the people with families shot it down, saying it was stupid, stay here, etc. The single people cheered me on, saying that I should do what I want! I'm gonna move to Las Vegas because i'm sick of long island NY, sick of the cold and snow, sick of paying so much $ for everything. An added bonus is being able to enjoy my hobby as a gun enthusiast! Thank you for this video and all of your videos. One of my favorite quotes is from the movie Vanilla Sky. "every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around" -Sofia Serrano
@@JacobslifeinVegas Wow, looking back on this from 3 years ago, glad I made the move! I initially moved to Vegas, stayed there for a week at a rental, then decided to checkout Arizona. Been living in Tempe Arizona for almost 3 years now and love it, I love how Vegas is only a 4-5 hour car ride away, 1 hour flight. My only gripe is that I didn't make the move out here 10-15 years ago, I'd own a house by now. As it turns out, the people that told me not to leave the east coast, have LEFT also!
I moved from Chicago to Florida on a whim No close family But I new in my bones that I needed a radical change I needed to do something drastic and it was a life changing experience I wouldn't change a thing 😊😊 And I'm MUCH better off for it
I've been binge watching all your videos. My grandmother and I are planning to move to Vegas regardless of what the family says. There is just nothing here for me in Georgia. I want to start a career in photography and writing. And I think there is way more opportunity there. Plus, it's not too far from Cali (my dream place). So I can visit anytime I want!
There are a lot of places to take photos in the Las Vegas area. The Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, southern Utah, and all the National Parks in Utah, provide great photo taking opportunities. Also, California is also so close, and Arizona is right there near the border of Utah and Nevada. That sounds like a great plan, I love taking pictures myself.
OMG. That's exactly what I went through when I left Michigan to move to Las Vegas. people will say the most negative things like oh my God it's so hot there. I'm like yeah I know it's the desert. They only tell you these things because they do not have the courage to do what I did or what you did. I have been here for a year and I freaking love it. I noticed people that move to Vegas they either hate it or they love it there's no gray area. And it's funny you said that it was something pulling you here. I have always felt I was supposed to move here or go west or something and it was like calling me. And then I get here and find out I have more family here than I do in Detroit. I just freaking love it!
"They only tell you these things because they do not have the courage to do what I did or what you did" Pretty much. It's a way for them to try to save their ego. If you do something that takes a lot of courage, then they have to look at themselves and be responsible for the fact that they haven't done anything like that.
good for you man. I had the same thing happened to me. Now I'm the one laughing with the skyrocketing prices in California all my friends and relatives complain about. I'm enjoying living here in Henderson. keep your head up man.
Holy shit!!!! I started thinking about moving to Vegas from SF too... I got so much crap from my family. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Your channel is the best!
I watched this video only days after making the decision to put my house on the market so that we can move to Las Vegas. This video really helped me know for sure that this is the best decision for my family. I've been in love with Las Vegas since the first time I went there. I have waited for 15 years and with all the changes in my life one thing has stayed the same. I know that I still want to live in Las Vegas. Your videos are great. Watching your videos has given me so much information and answered so many questions that I had. But this video in particular has touched me on a personal level. Thank you so much for sharing. You and Laci have kept me inspired while we count down the days til we can finally follow our dreams and live in Las Vegas.
Hey Jacob. I absolutely agree with your philosophy on doing what is best for us as an individual. I have a friend back in. New York City who has been trying to persuade me to move out of Las Vegas for the last couple of years. He thinks Vegas is just the strip, and he can't see the forest for the trees. I will never move back to NYC, but I have been toying with the thought of moving to the southeastern part of the country. I. believe that people have to make changes based on what is right for them, and not what friends, relatives or acquaintances think is right for them. Love the videos pal. Keep up the good work. :-) Robert
Hello Jacob. Great video...I agree 199%. I to am moving back to Vegas in the next few months. It's not popular with my family, but I didn't let it stop me the first time either. I have always gone my own way. I feel so miserable where I am now, and the time to find my true happiness is now. To thine own self be true Jacob. You have a kindred spirit in me.
I like a lot of your videos but this one is my FAVORITE! You couldn't have said it any better Jacob. This is what my husband and I have been going through with family. My mom always said not to talk so much about what you're trying to do cuz it'll get watered down. Doesn't translate too well in english but it's something I live by. People's vibes can totally mess up your plans/goals. I like to keep my stuff on the DL and let people figure it out as it happens. This move to Vegas was something we decided to tell a select few cuz we knew many would be against it. It's not their choice tho. We all have to find what's bests for us. Thank you soo much for this video. I would've liked it on FB but ya know gotta keep it mum lol. Keep up the good work Jacob!
I'm am very happy that I found your channel. Presently, I'm residing here in Greenville, NC. I'm a single male in my late 30's that is not married, no kids, no friends and a lonely guy. I been here all my life and it's a freaking boring town with nothing to do here. It's nothing but a college town where students go to nightclubs downtown to get drunk and pickup women that's it. I had been here all my life and I worn out my welcome here. There is nothing here left to do. I talk to my mother about me moving away from here and she don't support me. We constantly always fight and argue about me moving. The good news is that I'm making enough money through online marketing so I can be an expat. I want to travel and see the world. If I don't move away from this town I will be in a mentally oppressed state of mind. You're right, I agree with you that you should never tell your family, especially your mother, about your plans to move away from where you currently are. If your family doesn't support your move and they try to talk you out of it, you will be mentally oppressed for years in that boring town that you are currently in plain and simple.
You hit it right on the head. This is the exact approach that I took. When my wife and I discussed the possibility of moving here, we only told a few of our closest friends. She did tell her parents. They certainly did not want us to go but they didn't try to talk us out of it, either. Everyone knew our situation and supported us because they wanted to see us improve our lives. However, I chose to wait to tell my family until my wife secured her job. I felt that it was just better that way. A few members of my family weren't on board at first, but they came around. And as far as our friends are concerned, Vegas is already a destination for them. Now they have another reason to fly out here, and several of them have since we moved here. Life has been great here and I have zero regrets.
Great video Jacob ... very personal and emotional. I agree 100% your close family and friends do not need to know everything. They may mean well but they can discourage you from achieving your dreams.
Thank you so much for your videos.... my wife and I are taking a small recon vacation to look for jobs and living.... coming from a small town in northern az we both are tired of the cold in the winter... which is coming soon here... and from our research it will cost us the same to live there than here... once again thank you brother you are an inspiration for us to pull the trigger and get out there
Thank you for this video, it was needed at this moment! I am planning on relocating to Vegas from St. Louis in August 2019. Your channel has been a huge help and has gotten me excited!!
Thanks for this video man. I know it's years after you posted it, but it really has been a god-send that has me working after years of depression/illness to get back up, look past where I am now where I'm not happy, and keep hammering away for something better. Really great video that hits home - saved to my favorites. Great message. Doesn't get old.
Misery loves company so people don't approve. I moved from California myself and moved to Vegas. Your videos originally inspired me to come here. Vegas is much, much better than California. Rented a place in downtown Summerlin.... love it!
I was in the same place when I moved from my birth city to the Midwest. Now, 16 years later, miserable with where I live. Preach brother! You are explaining my life to a tee. Cannot wait to make my move to Vegas. Currently looking at apartments as I'm watching your video. I don't discuss my plans with people because I don't care what they think. The people I work with are all negative, sad individuals, who are jealous of people who have the opportunity to change their lives.
Thanks jacob I really needed to hear this. i'm planning on moving to vegas from philly hopefully this year around sept/oct. This makes me feel more confident about my move. I can't stand cold winters here need a fresh start.
A year ago I moved from a small town to Moscow. I moved to find a job and I didn't tell my parents about it until I sat in a bus. I called my mom and told her that I'm would leave home and she started crying and telling that I have to stay and because of that I was really upset, she made me feel really bad by her crying and discouraging talking. So I 100% agree with you that one should do what he feels he have to do and not to tell his relatives,they maybe wish only good to you,but they will only discourage you.
Jacob - Out of all the videos you've done, I think this one hits the nail on the head the most for me personally. I live in SJ, CA, currently, and have (for many years, and as you know) experienced the ripoff this area has become. I'm a ways out from making the leap - saving takes forever - but one day want to get out to LV. The perspective of following your own path - and ignoring naysayers be it family, friends, or both, is Crucial. People who genuinely care mean well, but it doesn't matter what they think. They may be negative about the idea because privately they wish they could take a similar plunge for themselves. I look at LV as an adventure. It's unlike any other city on the planet. I like your advice about not telling anyone - probably best approach - but I've mentioned it to friends and family anyway. And it's ok if they roll their eyes a bit, because it allows me to practice the virtue of ignoring negativity. I've been complacent too long. "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." Perfect ideology for L.V. (by Jay Vieira in this thread) And Thank You for all these videos. I do think they help bring a measurable perspective to what LV is all about. Keep your camera rollin', and God Bless you.
You just spoke on the state of my life right now! Vegas has been grabbing at my best friends and I who are coming out there to open a dispensary. We planned this out 2 years ago before Vegas officially became a rec state. I made my first trip out there by myself a couple months ago and I fell in love with it. I just basically made it a business planning trip but the vibe away from the strip was so surreal. I liked the burbs more than the strip even tho I'm definitely a night life type. You get a great dose of everything in such a close proximity . Coming from a big city like Chicago it's a relief Didn't realize it till a couple weeks ago but it's a funny story. I started a clothing brand out here in Chicago a couple years ago called "LV8" or elevate... which we didn't notice till now is an acronym for Las Vegas 8 ( 2018) The friend who came up with the name with me is now one of my future business partners 😂
I really liked this video. You echoed the things people have told me too. Funny how most of them have never even been to Las Vegas. It's good to know you have had the same things told to you. I thought it was only happening to me.
I'm pretty sure just about everyone gets blow back from people in their life when they say they want to move to Las Vegas (or make any other great change). Thanks for the support Ivy
I love this guy...even when he wants to "punch somebody" in the face, he still smiles...:) There is the "guy" that I have been waiting for the "absolute" truth that I have been waiting for after watching all those videos!!! "FUCK THAT!!!!!" Classic
Hi Jacob! Amazing video! I'm going back to college much older in life. I went to UNLV and the jr. College. The hospitality industry is great there. When I lived in Corpus Christi, my trainer Luke said that he wouldn't live in Vegas cuz it's so unhealthy. He's a body builder who thinks that Vegas is just for party animals, alcoholics, etc. A lady in Austin said it's a good place to get arrested. Unfortunately, I've been arrested a few times, but only in Vegas. The only thing I'm afraid of is being around a bad person who could get me in trouble. I don't do drugs. I invited my younger sister to live with me in my rental house on Hazelnut Dr. I didn't realize that she had a bad gambling habit. I paid for everything, the rent, food, I even cooked for her and cleaned up after her. I gave her $120 to pay her phone bill. I let her stay in the house for 2 weeks alone so she could unwind. Then when I returned she said she needed $100 for some new shoes at Walmart. I told her I just paid the $1100 rent, $400 utilities and $200 for food. When I asked if I could go with her to get the shoes she said no. It was my last $100 so I told her no. Then she said she was going to beat me up as though she was in a trans leaning against the wall. She was an M.P. with combat training. She punched me in the face and gave me a brutal beating. When she got tired I went to my room and she tried to kick the door down. I went back to the living room turned her around n did one martial arts move. She fell on her face and got a big bump on her forehead. Then I called an idiot from a dating line, cuz no one would help me. He said to call the police so I'd get it documented. They took me to jail for 14 days cuz of her bump. I haven't seen her since. I talk to her on the phone but I don't trust her anymore. She has anger issues. I don't like being alone. In California when I lived in Santa Monica for 6 years I had amazing college friends back in 1994 who were there for me 24/7. In Vegas, my only friend was my dog. I'm afraid of moving to Vegas. I don't ever want to be arrested again. I'm a people person and they say don't trust people in Vegas, cuz they're mostly users. Maybe only a handful of genuine people, but they never want to associate with me. I feel that as a single, middle aged woman I can be a target cuz I get so lonely. I was friends with a Phillipino lady who dated a cheapskate who was bi-sexual. She was a black jack dealer who moved back to Southern California to work at a Indian Casino. She wanted me to move back with her but I stayed in Vegas. She was my only friend but also a gambler. Her name is Lucy. Once she took me to a Casino and told me to have a drink n wait by the bar while she gambled. When she lost her money she told me to walk home. Eventhough, her boyfriend was an engineer who drove a brand new porche, he made her use her comps to pay for his expensive dinner. Her brother Roger and I sat together while they ate desert cuz we didn't have enough money. He gave her a shaver as a gift. He denied being bi-sexual until after they hooked up. There's a lot of financial predators out there.
Even if the move doesn't work out, to know you at least tried can be comfort. My early 20's I moved half way across country to try a new life. A place where other family members moved to and was happy. I was there a year, but the place never seem to click for me. I ended up back to where I grew up, and now 40 years later am overall happy being back where I started. I do not regret that move years ago as I did meet new people, and have new experiences, but best of all I don't deal with wondering if I made a mistake, or missed an opportunity. Odds are the move will work for you, but if it doesn't, you will know in your heart where you are meant to be.
Jacob great video. I have been fortunate to make 5 major moves for either graduate school or employment. And the moves were my choice. I remember telling friends and family in Virginia I had been accepted to grad school in Iowa. IOWA whats that? they talked it down but I went always and glad I did. You give great advice and I am glad things are working for you in Vegas.
As someone who's considering moving to Vegas I'm really digging your videos. As someone who has recently gone through some tough times and needed some words of inspiration, this video really helped. Great work.
Such a great heartfelt video! Me and my husband are moving to Henderson in a year or so. My family is not very supportive either. This was a great video to remind me to stand my ground!
Maybe your best video, simply because it's personal and so very true. We are a family of four (2 Kids) and moving to LV/ Henderson in July (yes the worst time). We landed great jobs but still are a little cold feet...However your videos are very helpful. Thanks !
+JacobslifeinVegas You are so right Jacob...that's how I feel. I plan to relocate but I'm keeping quiet about my plans because my family is negative...especially my mom. I graduated from college last month but all I need is a job outta state...I don't want to relocate somewhere without a job offer and I feel it's hard to get an offer when I live in another state. Anything you recommend for me applying for jobs out of state? Should I put a family member from Vegas address on my resume? I need some tips.
You could use a family member address. Really, getting an entry level job (regardless of what your degree is in) isn't that difficult. To find some work for $9-12/hr to just get some money going while you figure out what you really want to do isn't too hard. I took a visit for a week to Vegas to apply for jobs in person, and got hired. Doing that lets employers know you're serious about moving to Vegas.
Hi Jacob, watching so many good videos on moving, I just finished watching the video on moving, How you came about getting your first job. LOVE how you told the story and find it so captivating and how amazing, the universe works in so many ways, and I do believe everything I'm doing seems to be moving in the right way. Growing up my entire life in San Francisco, and being a long-time resident of San Mateo, Sadly, it will be all for the better. You all put great content on all topics with other Collab., especially Las Vegas Gal, She is so fun and awesome, looking forward to watching more.
Another thing. When you buy your house in Las Vegas, make sure it has a good air conditioning and heating. This is really true if you come from a place like California where air conditioning and heating aren't as curcial.
i have watched a ton of your videos this is the one i really needed to see i have family in vegas and ive been there for work in the military i just got out and finally decided to move there this year !! thanks for all the information and sights that you provide i cant wait to become a local.
Just came today from LV. Visited family a few days and then explored some areas, my biggest con is the Heat. Luckily after talking to several locals a Bartender in at the Sky Linq, i think that's what's it's called said he and his wife been there for 30yrs and told me how to deal with the heat. I didn't like it, lol, but he simplified it for me and it made sense. Thank you for all of your videos. They are very real and motivational in a way. I believe, I might just be moving in late January early February 2017. Keep up the good work with the videos.
This is the best one you have done yet. I have told people also once I get to move back to Vegas I will not come back to Northwest Indiana south of Chicago. I have told many people I rather be homeless in Vegas that move back here.
I have been addicted to your videos. Me and my wife were planning on moving to Vegas. I feel 99% on moving to Vegas. I have a BA in Child Development. I have a concern about how the job market looks for people with. Child Development degrees. I live in la puente CA and I just landed a good paying job in a preschool. Am tired of living in Cali. Thanks for the video.
Truer words have never been said. I did everything the exact Polar opposite from your advice. I made my decision about 10 years ago and told everyone. They told me I'm crazy to go out to Vegas because it's hot year round and I should move to Florida or move to Georgia or Dallas and there's nothing to do but gamble. I said Nope, nope, Hell no. I now have 6 months before I retire and am packing and searching for a house. Listen to Jacob kids, make a plan and stick to it and Don't tell a Soul. Unless your like me and don't give a damn about what anyone says. Between you and me don't tell anyone your secret because all of them will move everywhere but Vegas and we can keep this little secret to ourselves.
Great video! One of your best! Great advice pertinent to any time you make a change in your life! People will unknowingly (usually!) sabbotage your efforts.
Currently applying to Grad school at UNLV. I thought you were directly speaking to me when you said (A)Dont tell a lot of people about your vision and (B) The family and friends who never leave this area, they won't fully embrace my decision anyway so It's about growing up. Thank you so much for this video and you just reconfirmed exactly what I have been feeling and why I think LV is a great fit. Awesome video, and I appreciate you opinion.
I have had a friend ask why I would move to Las Vegas and tell me I will regret it. We live in Portland, OR and he thinks it’s the best place ever. Portland is a nice city, but I don’t think it’s for me. I’m not afraid of moving from where I have always lived because I don’t feel trapped. If I missed Portland it’s not like I could never go back.
what's up J.O. You preaching to the choir right now. Haleluyerrrr! (Tyler Perry's Media Voice) I did the same thing. When I came out here last November to interview for jobs, I flew out here for 6 hrs for the first time ever in my life and ALONE. Because I wanted it that bad. I wanted a fresh start. Ppl who "cared for me" did think I was crazy, and ppl tried to talk me out of it. Also realized some who "cared about me" started chugging that infamous "Haterade" drink and become envious that I was moving mountains and turning stones over to make my goals a reality while they stayed behind not achieving any milestones of their own. Now here with two jobs, I am working my PR royal ass off towards building my ads and marketing online business that I have so that one day when I start generating sufficient "stable and sustainable" income via my marketing and ads, I'll quit both my jobs and finally be on the path to financial freedom. I now see myself buying my first home here by next year. I'll end this with a partial quote (my fav part of the quote that is) "And like muscle fiber it can be strengthened and lead onto unimaginable conquest" ~Napoleon Hill~ (as he explains how a thought, turns into a desire, then turns into a much deeper "burning" desire, that turns into a well thought plan of action that converts into action that ultimately renders achievement of ones goals (whatever the goal is) etc. Thanks for the vid.
Thank you thank you for this, I needed this boost of encouragement to say I don’t care what friends and family say about moving to Vegas, I love my family but it’s my life and life is way too short to what if you’re entire life, I’m pushing my fear of change aside and I’m doing what’s best for my family. I’m definitely taking you’re advice and keeping this decision to move to myself because I know what they will tell me and you’re so correct about how fragile a dream or big decision is in the beginning, one negative comment and you’re decision or dream is shattered, I’ll tell my friends and family about moving when I ask them to help me load up my u haul truck, that way I’ll let the negative bull shit go in one ear and out the other, take care Jacob 😊
I can't wait til I move back to vegas I was afraid what my family would think and now how you put it in a way I understand who cares I'm moving forward moving back to vegas doing what makes me happy vegas is my home now not California it's just a state where I was born I love vegas I don't know why I moved back to California ever since I did that I been nothing but miserable
Hi Jacob, so glad you stuck with it. You seam happy. I have to agree with you . Normally you are so cheerful and I could see that it was hard for you but good for you keeping your focus and finding what makes you happy. People can be really negative and it hurts, so keeping it on the down low is smart. I want to move over from the UK and the few people I told were negative about it. I'm lucky that I have a weeks' holiday the week after and spending that time in Vegas made me forget about the negative people and now I am quietly working towards moving. I wish you well and very much enjoy your videos. Your Uber/Lyft stories are so funny. Thanks
Thanks for this video. See you there in Vegas. I have been watching your videos to get tips and information on living in Vegas. I was almost in tears watching video. See you there!! Hope I run into you there. Leaving L.A. Thanks for the truth.
Jacob... i love this video.. and yes.. i agree with all thee things you said here.. and yes its our own life.. our decision and noone elses.. i know this have encouraged many to take a leap and just do it... you are awesome.. you have come a long way...home is where you make it to be...blessings to you..👊
+John Greene Thanks John. It definitely took some courage to make the jump, but I'm happy I did. It's going to take more courage to accomplish now in the future
I came here to Las Vegas from NY! And @8:55 i agree with you 100%!!! I cant imagine being born in a small town, going to collge there, getting a job there, and basically dying there, all in that one small town. Theres a whole world out there!!!!!
That was deeeep. And great at the same time. I found out about you through the Trooper. I have known Tim since grade school. I follow him because he has done things I only dream about, just like you. Keep on keeping on brother, maybe one day I'll make it out and visit you both. Happy journeys, and thank you for sharing you life,
You're the MAN Jacob! Much respect for you brotha. Great video and great feedback. I really enjoy all of your videos and your channels. Live, Love, and Stay up.
Yeah Man I am In The Same Situation Coming From an Area I've Been For 37 Years and Cold Winters and More Rain and Just Sick of Seeing The Same Things and Yes The Weather and Scenery Is The Best Reasons To Move To Vegas and More Job Opportunities...I am Literally Gonna Drive My Car Across The Country or Transport My Car and Take a Plain Ticket and I Will Miss My Good Friends and Family But Gotta Do What's Best For Me They Won't Pay My Bills....I am Starting From The Bottom and Will Begin To Look For Work and Stay In April Wish Me Luck!
That's exactly why I don't care anymore what people think it's my life and I talk to my family about it and they say no no why? Etc. So I'm just moving to whatever place i want to !!! 100% agree with u
I recently told my dad I wanted to move to Las Vegas within the next few years; his main 'objection' for lack of a better word, is that I wouldn't be close to family in case I needed help. Keep in mind that I was raised Mormon and the Mormon Church likes to talk about family ALOT!
I can relate to this. I been to LV seven times and met some people. A couple of them have said since I go there a lot I should move there. I decided to make the big move next year and I haven’t told any family or friends. I plan to tell them once I secure my place and employment. I’m also saving up money so I can have enough for a place and other stuff.
Awesome videos! Moving to Vegas in the next 3 years (planning to wrap up a few things here). Very good advice about being extremely selective about who you tell. Because after all it's not no one else's decision to make.
Thanks so much for this video! I really needed to here that. I'll be moving to Las Vegas from Philadelphia in December of this year and I'm really excited about it.
If you're moving here, buy your house quickly. The housing prices are fairly low but they're going up. You might want to get here and start house shopping soon.
😔💔 where was the video in July 2014? 😢 Small town girl with big city dreams! It’s good to always follow your heart and intuition because they already know what you are meant to become!!!
I just went down to Vegas this weekend,I had a blast I didn't eant to leave it was great.Im gonna go back next March 2019 look around and see if next year I want to move there
I just moved to Vegas and I have no support from family or friends I used all my money to get a week to week apt its hard to trying to get transportation to work I really wish I can find a job near me I like the video positive vibes im not going to give up thank u for the positive outlook.
well said my friend. My wife and I moved here 14 years ago from San Diego. Best thing we ever did. we got so much shit from people and now some of those people are considering the same shit. lol.... Live your life because it's yours.
Hi, my son is planning on moving to Vegas fom the UK to join his girlfriend who is from Vegas,obviously as a mom I have worries but its his life,he has been to Vegas many times and loves it,I know its a bit different as you are from the US but its reassuring to know its worked for you and your family,his girlfriend lives in Henderson but they are thinking of settling in Summerlin is that a good area?
Thinking about moving there from San Diego too, you still happy with the move?
Jacob this hit home with me big time! Recently I informed many people about my plans, and what do you know....the people with families shot it down, saying it was stupid, stay here, etc. The single people cheered me on, saying that I should do what I want! I'm gonna move to Las Vegas because i'm sick of long island NY, sick of the cold and snow, sick of paying so much $ for everything. An added bonus is being able to enjoy my hobby as a gun enthusiast! Thank you for this video and all of your videos. One of my favorite quotes is from the movie Vanilla Sky. "every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around" -Sofia Serrano
You're welcome tank! I'm glad it hit home for you
@@JacobslifeinVegas Wow, looking back on this from 3 years ago, glad I made the move! I initially moved to Vegas, stayed there for a week at a rental, then decided to checkout Arizona. Been living in Tempe Arizona for almost 3 years now and love it, I love how Vegas is only a 4-5 hour car ride away, 1 hour flight. My only gripe is that I didn't make the move out here 10-15 years ago, I'd own a house by now. As it turns out, the people that told me not to leave the east coast, have LEFT also!
PREACH BRO! I'm moving to Vegas from Chicago...I'm SO TIRED of Chicago
You'll meet a lot of Chicago people here
I wish I could give this a billion thumbs up. This describe my situation from top to bottom.
+MrGrownman455 Thanks man. Glad it hit home
I moved from Chicago to Florida on a whim
No close family
But I new in my bones that I needed a radical change
I needed to do something drastic and it was a life changing experience
I wouldn't change a thing 😊😊
And I'm MUCH better off for it
Nicole Williams I've been thinking about moving to Vegas from the Chicago Northwest Suburbs myself....
I’d love to have a beer with you Jacob! Thanks for spurring us to listen to our inner voice.
I've been binge watching all your videos. My grandmother and I are planning to move to Vegas regardless of what the family says. There is just nothing here for me in Georgia. I want to start a career in photography and writing. And I think there is way more opportunity there. Plus, it's not too far from Cali (my dream place). So I can visit anytime I want!
Welcome to Vegas Cheyenne!
Cheyenne Patterson hey have you moved out to Vegas yet? If so how are you and your grandmother liking it?
Cheyenne Patterson I currently live in Georgia but I am so ready to move back west. But I get so much backlash from my family here in Georgia.
There are a lot of places to take photos in the Las Vegas area. The Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, southern Utah, and all the National Parks in Utah, provide great photo taking opportunities. Also, California is also so close, and Arizona is right there near the border of Utah and Nevada. That sounds like a great plan, I love taking pictures myself.
just move to California then
I’m proud of you! I needed to see this. I’m in the bay and can’t wait to leave FOR GOOD!
OMG. That's exactly what I went through when I left Michigan to move to Las Vegas. people will say the most negative things like oh my God it's so hot there. I'm like yeah I know it's the desert. They only tell you these things because they do not have the courage to do what I did or what you did. I have been here for a year and I freaking love it. I noticed people that move to Vegas they either hate it or they love it there's no gray area. And it's funny you said that it was something pulling you here. I have always felt I was supposed to move here or go west or something and it was like calling me. And then I get here and find out I have more family here than I do in Detroit. I just freaking love it!
"They only tell you these things because they do not have the courage to do what I did or what you did" Pretty much. It's a way for them to try to save their ego. If you do something that takes a lot of courage, then they have to look at themselves and be responsible for the fact that they haven't done anything like that.
good for you man. I had the same thing happened to me. Now I'm the one laughing with the skyrocketing prices in California all my friends and relatives complain about. I'm enjoying living here in Henderson. keep your head up man.
LOL I know how you feel.. Thanks Carlos
Now maybe, they get part of the reason for your living out in Vegas verses California. Enjoy Henderson, and the surrounding areas.
Good for you Jacob, good for you for following YOUR dreams and not what other people think! F em!
Thank you Doc!
6 years, after this was posted, it makes my soul so happy. Thank you Jacob! Can't wait to move this year, 2022! Let's go!
😀
Holy shit!!!! I started thinking about moving to Vegas from SF too... I got so much crap from my family. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Your channel is the best!
Happy to help!
I watched this video only days after making the decision to put my house on the market so that we can move to Las Vegas. This video really helped me know for sure that this is the best decision for my family. I've been in love with Las Vegas since the first time I went there. I have waited for 15 years and with all the changes in my life one thing has stayed the same. I know that I still want to live in Las Vegas. Your videos are great. Watching your videos has given me so much information and answered so many questions that I had. But this video in particular has touched me on a personal level. Thank you so much for sharing. You and Laci have kept me inspired while we count down the days til we can finally follow our dreams and live in Las Vegas.
Hey Jacob. I absolutely agree with your philosophy on doing what is best for us as an individual. I have a friend back in. New York City who has been trying to persuade me to move out of Las Vegas for the last couple of years. He thinks Vegas is just the strip, and he can't see the forest for the trees. I will never move back to NYC, but I have been toying with the thought of moving to the southeastern part of the country. I. believe that people have to make changes based on what is right for them, and not what friends, relatives or acquaintances think is right for them. Love the videos pal. Keep up the good work. :-) Robert
Thank you Robert. I won't be stopping any time soon!
Hello Jacob. Great video...I agree 199%. I to am moving back to Vegas in the next few months. It's not popular with my family, but I didn't let it stop me the first time either. I have always gone my own way. I feel so miserable where I am now, and the time to find my true happiness is now. To thine own self be true Jacob. You have a kindred spirit in me.
Thank you! This video has been able to hit home for a lot of people so far. I'm glad it helped you
I like a lot of your videos but this one is my FAVORITE! You couldn't have said it any better Jacob. This is what my husband and I have been going through with family. My mom always said not to talk so much about what you're trying to do cuz it'll get watered down. Doesn't translate too well in english but it's something I live by. People's vibes can totally mess up your plans/goals. I like to keep my stuff on the DL and let people figure it out as it happens. This move to Vegas was something we decided to tell a select few cuz we knew many would be against it. It's not their choice tho. We all have to find what's bests for us. Thank you soo much for this video. I would've liked it on FB but ya know gotta keep it mum lol. Keep up the good work Jacob!
"It's not their choice tho. We all have to find what's bests for us" You're dead on! Thanks Lisa
I'm am very happy that I found your channel. Presently, I'm residing here in Greenville, NC. I'm a single male in my late 30's that is not married, no kids, no friends and a lonely guy. I been here all my life and it's a freaking boring town with nothing to do here. It's nothing but a college town where students go to nightclubs downtown to get drunk and pickup women that's it. I had been here all my life and I worn out my welcome here. There is nothing here left to do. I talk to my mother about me moving away from here and she don't support me. We constantly always fight and argue about me moving. The good news is that I'm making enough money through online marketing so I can be an expat. I want to travel and see the world. If I don't move away from this town I will be in a mentally oppressed state of mind. You're right, I agree with you that you should never tell your family, especially your mother, about your plans to move away from where you currently are. If your family doesn't support your move and they try to talk you out of it, you will be mentally oppressed for years in that boring town that you are currently in plain and simple.
Yep. A lot of people have allowed others to talk them out of being happy.
You hit it right on the head. This is the exact approach that I took. When my wife and I discussed the possibility of moving here, we only told a few of our closest friends. She did tell her parents. They certainly did not want us to go but they didn't try to talk us out of it, either. Everyone knew our situation and supported us because they wanted to see us improve our lives. However, I chose to wait to tell my family until my wife secured her job. I felt that it was just better that way. A few members of my family weren't on board at first, but they came around. And as far as our friends are concerned, Vegas is already a destination for them. Now they have another reason to fly out here, and several of them have since we moved here. Life has been great here and I have zero regrets.
"Life has been great here and I have zero regrets." I know the feeling!
thank you i needed this video
+Lovingoddess28 You're welcome!
same here.
Probably the best video you’ve ever made!! This hits home so hard, going through this right now with friends..
Thank you Kidd!
Great video Jacob ... very personal and emotional. I agree 100% your close family and friends do not need to know everything. They may mean well but they can discourage you from achieving your dreams.
Thank you so much for your videos.... my wife and I are taking a small recon vacation to look for jobs and living.... coming from a small town in northern az we both are tired of the cold in the winter... which is coming soon here... and from our research it will cost us the same to live there than here... once again thank you brother you are an inspiration for us to pull the trigger and get out there
Thank you for this video, it was needed at this moment! I am planning on relocating to Vegas from St. Louis in August 2019. Your channel has been a huge help and has gotten me excited!!
Did you do it
Thanks for this video man. I know it's years after you posted it, but it really has been a god-send that has me working after years of depression/illness to get back up, look past where I am now where I'm not happy, and keep hammering away for something better. Really great video that hits home - saved to my favorites. Great message. Doesn't get old.
You're very welcome!
Misery loves company so people don't approve. I moved from California myself and moved to Vegas. Your videos originally inspired me to come here. Vegas is much, much better than California. Rented a place in downtown Summerlin.... love it!
Yep!
I was in the same place when I moved from my birth city to the Midwest. Now, 16 years later, miserable with where I live. Preach brother! You are explaining my life to a tee. Cannot wait to make my move to Vegas. Currently looking at apartments as I'm watching your video. I don't discuss my plans with people because I don't care what they think. The people I work with are all negative, sad individuals, who are jealous of people who have the opportunity to change their lives.
Thanks Raj. If you think they're going to shoot you down, then you're doing the smart thing by not telling them.
Thanks jacob I really needed to hear this. i'm planning on moving to vegas from philly hopefully this year around sept/oct. This makes me feel more confident about my move. I can't stand cold winters here need a fresh start.
+Kenya Danielle You're welcome Kenya! Glad it helped
A year ago I moved from a small town to Moscow. I moved to find a job and I didn't tell my parents about it until I sat in a bus. I called my mom and told her that I'm would leave home and she started crying and telling that I have to stay and because of that I was really upset, she made me feel really bad by her crying and discouraging talking. So I 100% agree with you that one should do what he feels he have to do and not to tell his relatives,they maybe wish only good to you,but they will only discourage you.
+Андрей Казакевич I know what you mean
Thanks for the inspiration man. I'm currently living in the Bay Area myself and am trying to move to Vegas. Not going to let anything stop me!
+Travis Braman Go for it! I know the feeling
Spot on. I am very happy for you.
I am making my own plans to move to Las Vegas.
+UltimateBargains Thanks UB! Glad to hear it!
Me too!
Jacob - Out of all the videos you've done, I think this one hits the nail on the head the most for me personally. I live in SJ, CA, currently, and have (for many years, and as you know) experienced the ripoff this area has become. I'm a ways out from making the leap - saving takes forever - but one day want to get out to LV.
The perspective of following your own path - and ignoring naysayers be it family, friends, or both, is Crucial. People who genuinely care mean well, but it doesn't matter what they think. They may be negative about the idea because privately they wish they could take a similar plunge for themselves. I look at LV as an adventure. It's unlike any other city on the planet.
I like your advice about not telling anyone - probably best approach - but I've mentioned it to friends and family anyway. And it's ok if they roll their eyes a bit, because it allows me to practice the virtue of ignoring negativity.
I've been complacent too long.
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."
Perfect ideology for L.V.
(by Jay Vieira in this thread)
And Thank You for all these videos. I do think they help bring a measurable perspective to what LV is all about. Keep your camera rollin', and God Bless you.
You just spoke on the state of my life right now!
Vegas has been grabbing at my best friends and I who are coming out there to open a dispensary. We planned this out 2 years ago before Vegas officially became a rec state. I made my first trip out there by myself a couple months ago and I fell in love with it. I just basically made it a business planning trip but the vibe away from the strip was so surreal. I liked the burbs more than the strip even tho I'm definitely a night life type. You get a great dose of everything in such a close proximity . Coming from a big city like Chicago it's a relief
Didn't realize it till a couple weeks ago but it's a funny story. I started a clothing brand out here in Chicago a couple years ago called "LV8" or elevate... which we didn't notice till now is an acronym for
Las
Vegas
8 ( 2018)
The friend who came up with the name with me is now one of my future business partners 😂
Glad to hear it Dan! It's funny how things work out sometimes
courage and freedom!!!!! what happened when I move to Texas. did not tell family went for a visit. glad your adventure has worked out great!!!
+Ericka Williams Thank you Ericka! Courage really is the iron quality that you need to have in order to change your life
I really liked this video. You echoed the things people have told me too. Funny how most of them have never even been to Las Vegas. It's good to know you have had the same things told to you. I thought it was only happening to me.
I'm pretty sure just about everyone gets blow back from people in their life when they say they want to move to Las Vegas (or make any other great change). Thanks for the support Ivy
Great advice.....
so many people are contrary, non-objective, and negative.
True
I love this guy...even when he wants to "punch somebody" in the face, he still smiles...:) There is the "guy" that I have been waiting for the "absolute" truth that I have been waiting for after watching all those videos!!! "FUCK THAT!!!!!" Classic
This video was RIGHT ON TIME, BROTHER! THANK YOU!!
Thank you my man
Hi Jacob! Amazing video! I'm going back to college much older in life. I went to UNLV and the jr. College. The hospitality industry is great there. When I lived in Corpus Christi, my trainer Luke said that he wouldn't live in Vegas cuz it's so unhealthy. He's a body builder who thinks that Vegas is just for party animals, alcoholics, etc. A lady in Austin said it's a good place to get arrested. Unfortunately, I've been arrested a few times, but only in Vegas. The only thing I'm afraid of is being around a bad person who could get me in trouble. I don't do drugs. I invited my younger sister to live with me in my rental house on Hazelnut Dr. I didn't realize that she had a bad gambling habit. I paid for everything, the rent, food, I even cooked for her and cleaned up after her. I gave her $120 to pay her phone bill. I let her stay in the house for 2 weeks alone so she could unwind. Then when I returned she said she needed $100 for some new shoes at Walmart. I told her I just paid the $1100 rent, $400 utilities and $200 for food. When I asked if I could go with her to get the shoes she said no. It was my last $100 so I told her no. Then she said she was going to beat me up as though she was in a trans leaning against the wall. She was an M.P. with combat training. She punched me in the face and gave me a brutal beating. When she got tired I went to my room and she tried to kick the door down. I went back to the living room turned her around n did one martial arts move. She fell on her face and got a big bump on her forehead. Then I called an idiot from a dating line, cuz no one would help me. He said to call the police so I'd get it documented. They took me to jail for 14 days cuz of her bump. I haven't seen her since. I talk to her on the phone but I don't trust her anymore. She has anger issues. I don't like being alone. In California when I lived in Santa Monica for 6 years I had amazing college friends back in 1994 who were there for me 24/7. In Vegas, my only friend was my dog. I'm afraid of moving to Vegas. I don't ever want to be arrested again. I'm a people person and they say don't trust people in Vegas, cuz they're mostly users. Maybe only a handful of genuine people, but they never want to associate with me. I feel that as a single, middle aged woman I can be a target cuz I get so lonely. I was friends with a Phillipino lady who dated a cheapskate who was bi-sexual. She was a black jack dealer who moved back to Southern California to work at a Indian Casino. She wanted me to move back with her but I stayed in Vegas. She was my only friend but also a gambler. Her name is Lucy. Once she took me to a Casino and told me to have a drink n wait by the bar while she gambled. When she lost her money she told me to walk home. Eventhough, her boyfriend was an engineer who drove a brand new porche, he made her use her comps to pay for his expensive dinner. Her brother Roger and I sat together while they ate desert cuz we didn't have enough money. He gave her a shaver as a gift. He denied being bi-sexual until after they hooked up. There's a lot of financial predators out there.
Even if the move doesn't work out, to know you at least tried can be comfort. My early 20's I moved half way across country to try a new life. A place where other family members moved to and was happy. I was there a year, but the place never seem to click for me. I ended up back to where I grew up, and now 40 years later am overall happy being back where I started. I do not regret that move years ago as I did meet new people, and have new experiences, but best of all I don't deal with wondering if I made a mistake, or missed an opportunity. Odds are the move will work for you, but if it doesn't, you will know in your heart where you are meant to be.
THIS!!! Thank you!
Jacob great video. I have been fortunate to make 5 major moves for either graduate school or employment. And the moves were my choice. I remember telling friends and family in Virginia I had been accepted to grad school in Iowa. IOWA whats that? they talked it down but I went always and glad I did. You give great advice and I am glad things are working for you in Vegas.
So glad I started watching your videos. I plan on moving to Las Vegas this sept-Oct. I'm going through the same thing.
I know the feeling. I wish you the best
As someone who's considering moving to Vegas I'm really digging your videos. As someone who has recently gone through some tough times and needed some words of inspiration, this video really helped. Great work.
Thanks for the vlog Jacob - I'm moving to Vegas and your videos have been very beneficial to me.
+StS9LBJ23 Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the videos help
Such a great heartfelt video! Me and my husband are moving to Henderson in a year or so. My family is not very supportive either. This was a great video to remind me to stand my ground!
+Carol Waugh Definitely stand your ground! Family can be the most negative sometimes
Maybe your best video, simply because it's personal and so very true. We are a family of four (2 Kids) and moving to LV/ Henderson in July (yes the worst time). We landed great jobs but still are a little cold feet...However your videos are very helpful. Thanks !
Frederic Bonin-Pissarro Thank you Frederic! I hope the move goes smoothly
It's been a while since you wrote this, do you like living in Vegas? We're thinking of relocating from Orange County. Family of four as well.
Nice video, Jacob. You saw your vision and followed it. Don't let anyone say you can't or shouldn't. You want it, you go get it!
+steveo288 You know it!
+JacobslifeinVegas You are so right Jacob...that's how I feel. I plan to relocate but I'm keeping quiet about my plans because my family is negative...especially my mom. I graduated from college last month but all I need is a job outta state...I don't want to relocate somewhere without a job offer and I feel it's hard to get an offer when I live in another state. Anything you recommend for me applying for jobs out of state? Should I put a family member from Vegas address on my resume? I need some tips.
You could use a family member address. Really, getting an entry level job (regardless of what your degree is in) isn't that difficult. To find some work for $9-12/hr to just get some money going while you figure out what you really want to do isn't too hard. I took a visit for a week to Vegas to apply for jobs in person, and got hired. Doing that lets employers know you're serious about moving to Vegas.
Hi Jacob, watching so many good videos on moving, I just finished watching the video on moving, How you came about getting your first job. LOVE how you told the story and find it so captivating and how amazing, the universe works in so many ways, and I do believe everything I'm doing seems to be moving in the right way. Growing up my entire life in San Francisco, and being a long-time resident of San Mateo, Sadly, it will be all for the better. You all put great content on all topics with other Collab., especially Las Vegas Gal, She is so fun and awesome, looking forward to watching more.
Thank you Laurie! I'm glad the videos have helped ☺
Another thing. When you buy your house in Las Vegas, make sure it has a good air conditioning and heating. This is really true if you come from a place like California where air conditioning and heating aren't as curcial.
Very good point. Thank you for sharing
Great video bud I will be there soon just waiting for a transfer from work sometimes you just have to jump for it
Thank you Chad. I'm glad I made the jump!
Moving there the 7th. This hits home and helps confirm what I already was thinking, so thanks!
You're welcome Devin!
i have watched a ton of your videos this is the one i really needed to see i have family in vegas and ive been there for work in the military i just got out and finally decided to move there this year !! thanks for all the information and sights that you provide i cant wait to become a local.
Just came today from LV. Visited family a few days and then explored some areas, my biggest con is the Heat. Luckily after talking to several locals a Bartender in at the Sky Linq, i think that's what's it's called said he and his wife been there for 30yrs and told me how to deal with the heat. I didn't like it, lol, but he simplified it for me and it made sense. Thank you for all of your videos. They are very real and motivational in a way. I believe, I might just be moving in late January early February 2017. Keep up the good work with the videos.
Thank you Jesus!
Thanks Jacob love your videos you speak from the heart love and respect Maggie:)
Much appreciated Maggie. Thank you for watching and being supportive :)
This is the best one you have done yet. I have told people also once I get to move back to Vegas I will not come back to Northwest Indiana south of Chicago. I have told many people I rather be homeless in Vegas that move back here.
I have been addicted to your videos. Me and my wife were planning on moving to Vegas. I feel 99% on moving to Vegas. I have a BA in Child Development. I have a concern about how the job market looks for people with. Child Development degrees. I live in la puente CA and I just landed a good paying job in a preschool. Am tired of living in Cali. Thanks for the video.
Truer words have never been said. I did everything the exact Polar opposite from your advice. I made my decision about 10 years ago and told everyone. They told me I'm crazy to go out to Vegas because it's hot year round and I should move to Florida or move to Georgia or Dallas and there's nothing to do but gamble. I said Nope, nope, Hell no. I now have 6 months before I retire and am packing and searching for a house. Listen to Jacob kids, make a plan and stick to it and Don't tell a Soul. Unless your like me and don't give a damn about what anyone says. Between you and me don't tell anyone your secret because all of them will move everywhere but Vegas and we can keep this little secret to ourselves.
Sounds like a good idea to me! Thanks for sharing Will
Great video! One of your best! Great advice pertinent to any time you make a change in your life! People will unknowingly (usually!) sabbotage your efforts.
Wow this is why I'm glad I subscribed to your channel. You are keeping it 💯. Thank you
Happy to have you! Welcome to the channel!
Currently applying to Grad school at UNLV. I thought you were directly speaking to me when you said (A)Dont tell a lot of people about your vision and (B) The family and friends who never leave this area, they won't fully embrace my decision anyway so It's about growing up. Thank you so much for this video and you just reconfirmed exactly what I have been feeling and why I think LV is a great fit. Awesome video, and I appreciate you opinion.
Thank you! I'm glad it was right what you needed
I have had a friend ask why I would move to Las Vegas and tell me I will regret it. We live in Portland, OR and he thinks it’s the best place ever. Portland is a nice city, but I don’t think it’s for me. I’m not afraid of moving from where I have always lived because I don’t feel trapped. If I missed Portland it’s not like I could never go back.
Very true
what's up J.O. You preaching to the choir right now. Haleluyerrrr! (Tyler Perry's Media Voice) I did the same thing. When I came out here last November to interview for jobs, I flew out here for 6 hrs for the first time ever in my life and ALONE. Because I wanted it that bad. I wanted a fresh start. Ppl who "cared for me" did think I was crazy, and ppl tried to talk me out of it. Also realized some who "cared about me" started chugging that infamous "Haterade" drink and become envious that I was moving mountains and turning stones over to make my goals a reality while they stayed behind not achieving any milestones of their own. Now here with two jobs, I am working my PR royal ass off towards building my ads and marketing online business that I have so that one day when I start generating sufficient "stable and sustainable" income via my marketing and ads, I'll quit both my jobs and finally be on the path to financial freedom. I now see myself buying my first home here by next year. I'll end this with a partial quote (my fav part of the quote that is) "And like muscle fiber it can be strengthened and lead onto unimaginable conquest" ~Napoleon Hill~ (as he explains how a thought, turns into a desire, then turns into a much deeper "burning" desire, that turns into a well thought plan of action that converts into action that ultimately renders achievement of ones goals (whatever the goal is) etc. Thanks for the vid.
+Lisaida Makeup Thank you Lisaida! Good to know you're also a fan of Napoleon Hill....he definitely gets some credit for me being where I am today
Thank you thank you for this, I needed this boost of encouragement to say I don’t care what friends and family say about moving to Vegas, I love my family but it’s my life and life is way too short to what if you’re entire life, I’m pushing my fear of change aside and I’m doing what’s best for my family. I’m definitely taking you’re advice and keeping this decision to move to myself because I know what they will tell me and you’re so correct about how fragile a dream or big decision is in the beginning, one negative comment and you’re decision or dream is shattered, I’ll tell my friends and family about moving when I ask them to help me load up my u haul truck, that way I’ll let the negative bull shit go in one ear and out the other, take care Jacob 😊
" I love my family but it’s my life and life is way too short to what if you’re entire life" Exactly!
Oh Jacob. I can't get over how cute and sad you look at the beginning of this video. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug.
I can't wait til I move back to vegas I was afraid what my family would think and now how you put it in a way I understand who cares I'm moving forward moving back to vegas doing what makes me happy vegas is my home now not California it's just a state where I was born I love vegas I don't know why I moved back to California ever since I did that I been nothing but miserable
If you feel that moving forward in your life means leaving where you're currently at for something else, then go for it
You are absolutely right. Vegas bound in a couple of months. Can't wait to breathe again
Hi Jacob, so glad you stuck with it. You seam happy. I have to agree with you . Normally you are so cheerful and I could see that it was hard for you but good for you keeping your focus and finding what makes you happy.
People can be really negative and it hurts, so keeping it on the down low is smart. I want to move over from the UK and the few people I told were negative about it. I'm lucky that I have a weeks' holiday the week after and spending that time in Vegas made me forget about the negative people and now I am quietly working towards moving.
I wish you well and very much enjoy your videos. Your Uber/Lyft stories are so funny. Thanks
Thanks for this video. See you there in Vegas. I have been watching your videos to get tips and information on living in Vegas. I was almost in tears watching video. See you there!! Hope I run into you there. Leaving L.A. Thanks for the truth.
You're welcome Angela. I'm happy it helped 🙂
love this video my daughter just moved to THERE AND SHE LOVE IT
+Millie Armstrong Thank you Millie! Glad she likes it!
Jacob... i love this video.. and yes.. i agree with all thee things you said here.. and yes its our own life.. our decision and noone elses.. i know this have encouraged many to take a leap and just do it... you are awesome.. you have come a long way...home is where you make it to be...blessings to you..👊
love this video! i am moving to Vegas Tuesday and your vlogs have been so helpful. thank you.
Nice honest video Jacob, I admire you having the balls to make the jump and live your life how you want to.
+John Greene Thanks John. It definitely took some courage to make the jump, but I'm happy I did. It's going to take more courage to accomplish now in the future
I came here to Las Vegas from NY! And @8:55 i agree with you 100%!!! I cant imagine being born in a small town, going to collge there, getting a job there, and basically dying there, all in that one small town. Theres a whole world out there!!!!!
That was deeeep. And great at the same time. I found out about you through the Trooper. I have known Tim since grade school. I follow him because he has done things I only dream about, just like you. Keep on keeping on brother, maybe one day I'll make it out and visit you both. Happy journeys, and thank you for sharing you life,
Thank you! I do what I can to help others. Thanks for kind words
awesome Jacob!! everything you said is right ON!! YOUR awesome!! keep up the good videos!!
+Sue D Will do! Thank you sue!
This was such good advice. Thank YOu!!!
+Natural Vegetarian Queen You're welcome!
Awesome man...no remorse and no regrets. Live life on your terms!
+kkplayrush yes sir!
Oh My Goodness!!! Thank you for these videos!!! So inspiring!!
You're welcome Jasmine!
I’m from two small towns I feel this so much.
Very inspiring Jacob. I've been looking for this video of how you moved to Vegas. I'm planning my move. 😃
Thank you Rhea!
You're the MAN Jacob! Much respect for you brotha. Great video and great feedback. I really enjoy all of your videos and your channels. Live, Love, and Stay up.
Thank you Juan. You've always been very supportive.
Yeah Man I am In The Same Situation Coming From an Area I've Been For 37 Years and Cold Winters and More Rain and Just Sick of Seeing The Same Things and Yes The Weather and Scenery Is The Best Reasons To Move To Vegas and More Job Opportunities...I am Literally Gonna Drive My Car Across The Country or Transport My Car and Take a Plain Ticket and I Will Miss My Good Friends and Family But Gotta Do What's Best For Me They Won't Pay My Bills....I am Starting From The Bottom and Will Begin To Look For Work and Stay In April Wish Me Luck!
Just watched this. Very very good advice. Really enjoy your channel!
Thank you Candyce!
Thanks brother! Hitting the dusty trail October 1st
That's exactly why I don't care anymore what people think it's my life and I talk to my family about it and they say no no why? Etc. So I'm just moving to whatever place i want to !!! 100% agree with u
I recently told my dad I wanted to move to Las Vegas within the next few years; his main 'objection' for lack of a better word, is that I wouldn't be close to family in case I needed help. Keep in mind that I was raised Mormon and the Mormon Church likes to talk about family ALOT!
There are millions of people all over planet earth that don't live "close" to their family, and they are able to live their lives.
I knew I needed a change and I am glad I did it.
Man i just want to say i love your energy
And i needed this video!... Moving soon.
Thank you! Welcome to Vegas!
Not there yet but thank you!
Omg I just loveeee the way u talk, think and reflect all that energy to others I have the same way of thinking than u. Awesome video inspiring !!!👌👍
Great video Jacob live your life to the fullest!
I can relate to this. I been to LV seven times and met some people. A couple of them have said since I go there a lot I should move there.
I decided to make the big move next year and I haven’t told any family or friends. I plan to tell them once I secure my place and employment. I’m also saving up money so I can have enough for a place and other stuff.
Awesome videos! Moving to Vegas in the next 3 years (planning to wrap up a few things here). Very good advice about being extremely selective about who you tell. Because after all it's not no one else's decision to make.
Thanks so much for this video! I really needed to here that. I'll be moving to Las Vegas from Philadelphia in December of this year and I'm really excited about it.
You're welcome! It will be a transition, but I'd say it's well worth it
If you're moving here, buy your house quickly. The housing prices are fairly low but they're going up. You might want to get here and start house shopping soon.
😔💔 where was the video in July 2014? 😢 Small town girl with big city dreams! It’s good to always follow your heart and intuition because they already know what you are meant to become!!!
I just went down to Vegas this weekend,I had a blast I didn't eant to leave it was great.Im gonna go back next March 2019 look around and see if next year I want to move there
on point dude... I'll b movin to Vegas in April... keep it up
Thank you Kai!

I just moved to Vegas and I have no support from family or friends I used all my money to get a week to week apt its hard to trying to get transportation to work I really wish I can find a job near me I like the video positive vibes im not going to give up thank u for the positive outlook.
You're welcome Rich! It can be a long road, but it can also be worth it!
I live in the uk. I want to move to vegas next year. I've only told a few people. I'm going to tell everyone when I have a moving date. I cannot wait
