I have a daughter whose autistic and can't talk. This video is my push to keep going on my journey to become a programmer.
Bless her. In my opinion, kids with Autism are the most special and sweet. I'm not just saying it because my kid is one of them. In general, all special needs kids I meet are just awesome :)
Respect bro ! May god bless you !
Massive Respect For You
You are going to Rock ❤😎
I have six goldfish and a half opened tube of tomato paste. This video is my push to keep going on my journey to become a programmer.

I am nice man.
Hope you guys like the format and quality. Trying something different. I want to get back to these short videos on different topics once every week or two.
Thank you for the video Brad. Love your videos! You're a good man.
Traversy Media thx you for the vid I’m a nigh fan and this helped a lot
Quality is amazing, new camera ?
Well this type of videos really helps young developers that sometimes think that they can't reach the goal. Many thanks!
Thanks Brad.
Love this mentality. For me, I'd rather make 100K on my own than 200K working for someone else. Time, satisfaction, control... and I can pass my business down to my kids. Can't do that with a job. Anyway, great video!
I agree with you. I want to pass my business to my kid too in the future, I don't really have to worry about their life in the future. When I'm gone from this world, I still have "company as a family business" who can take care of my descendant. And, have some kind of laws to protect them.
@@frostsmaker8966 yep. That's the goal!
@Trinitrophenylnitramine yep. Best way to go IMO.
Omg, it JOHN :-)
What's the incentive for your children to work hard if they're guaranteed you giving them your business?
My kids will be entitled to NOTHING.
As a 36-year old that has gone through addiction, tragedy and who doesn't even have a GED (I am on the path to change that) a video like this is a hell of a motivator. Brad, you're a great dude! Thank you for what you do.
Hope it worked out for you 💪
I love this video Brad. My passion has always been to start my own business, and I tried many different things from creating a couple startups, to a blog, and I have finally found my true business passion. Educating other amazing people in the world of development. It is so much more rewarding and enjoyable than any other business I have started and I absolutely love it.
Keep up the amazing work Brad. You are a huge inspiration for me and thousands of others.
Thanks! Yes there is nothing like it. Sure there are risks but if you stick with it, work hard and keep learning you can go beyond the success of working for any company.
Even Kyle is on Brad's channel wow.
Developers are often under valued in companies, their the engine room and keep the ship afloat but credit often goes to sales & marketing for business success. Start a freelance business and get your own clients, its 10x more fulfilling to have something you can keep building upon like a great app. Another inspirational video Brad thanks 😉💯
This channel is all about a peaceful mind, professionalism, knowledge and growing up with positivity. Thank You.
This is such an encouraging message. Thanks Brad. Keep up the actionable tips and awesome videos in 2019. They're touching millions of people. Love the new styled beard 8)
Hey Brad, one can really see that you pour your heart into everything you do and that really resonates with people, including me. You're really inspiring, keep up the good work.
I am like 15 now and this makes me feel like starting my own business this summer.
You are extremely lucky to be so young and already know what you want to do. I didn't start until I was around 24. I wasted a lot of my life doing stupid stuff. I feel like I would be 10x where I am at now if I had my head on straight at 15. So go for it!
@@TraversyMedia thanks for the wise words sir. May I ask you what your initial business was if you don't mind. How did you attract clients or customers in the early phase of your business?. I am thinking of starting a front end development house (like creating portfolio websites for customers,wordpress and css themes etc) with a few friends of mine.
Your advise surely will be a great help to me in the long run.
Thanks for everything.

@@YashGupta-dr5re you are trying to learn top much i think
Like programming, it actually is not hard if done correctly. The actual hard part is figuring out how to do it correctly.
Recovering from lyme disease for the past 7 years, cant do my normal job anymore, which was airport technician, & i have my CDL but dont trust myself driving all day,so im learning all this on my own, it's tuff but i like it, hope it works out as i am now 41 and starting over sucks great video
It sucks dealing with something that bothers you everyday. I struggle where I can barley walk sometimes because I'm so dizzy. I must say though, coding is the best thing for me. It allows me to zone out and almost forget about about it. Good luck to you
Okay , I’m gonna just say it. You’re the man you got it. You definitely have made an impact on my life and opening my eyes to someone can amount to achieving their goals despite the hardships and obstacles they may face. I wish nothing but happiness and health for you Brad. I’m moved by this video so much , thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn from you and hear the struggles you go through. Forever grateful ❤️
I love your realness Brad and appreciate your encouragement. I needed this
I've been trying to be successful for 10+ years now doing my own thing, with very little success; however, I just keep learning and learning, which keeps opening the door to new ideas, opportunities, etc. One day, I know I'll have something I'll consider a success. It's only a matter of time and perseverance. But like you said, actually DOING THE WORK (and the networking!) is the key.
Great video, man. I'm so glad you mentioned anxiety, depression, vertigo, and health issues. ALL of that resonates with where I'm at. It makes even being motivated an extremely tough thing. Awesome to see you bust through that. Definitely keep doing these types videos if you feel so inclined. This one was absolutely perfect in its delivery, honesty, and general message. =)
Don't give up.
Learn from your mistakes.
Don't give up.
I'm 35 and still not successful. I will be one day or at least I tried
You don't have to reach a point to be successful. You are being successful every time you are working towards your goal. Trust and learn to love the process. People that want to be a developer won't be successful when they find a job as a developer but rather every time they read a book, watch an online course, follow a tutorial or develop a personal project. Good luck!
we all have the same things in comma, i'm also 35 yrs old but i believe we all gonna make it if we don't give up.
What does successful mean to you? Have you been able to feed yourself and keep a roof over your head?
"If you visualize what you want, and you know you're going to get there, and you put in the hard work... you're pretty much unstoppable."
I really needed to hear this today. Thank you!
I always listen to your advice video just like an audiobook. I listening in when I do the dishes and cleaning home. Keep it up, sir!
Your videos always turn the gears in my head, make me think what i want to achieve and how to achieve it. All videos i've seen have been really either helpful or motivating. Thank you a million for making this channel and keep up the amazing work :)
I came across your channel and immediately appreciated your no-BS-straight-to-the-point-create-an-application method. Your voice is also very motivational...not sure how to say it, but you sound like a professor that cares about his students. So, with that, thank you and keep up the good work and I'm hitting that like button every time I watch one of your videos! /ThumbsUpFromSeattle
I've been following you for a while for the really good practical video tutorials.
I'm at the (relative) beginning of working on my own app/platform, just getting into business concepts, company, and networking with people, and I have had barriers and negativity and for the most of it I kept going through, but... it does put you down mentally. Thank you for this video. It really does inspire me to keep pushing forward.
"Don't love your job, you never know when it will stop loving you." -- Love what ya do
I love the realness of your videos, makes the grind to become a free lancer feel attainable.
I started a little dev (Code Reviews) channel here on youtube as a hobby, now I got almost 100 subs (and thinking about doing full tuts for this year), currently I am working as a freelancer but as you said, I am trying to build something for my own, now I rarely check your tuts Brad, but I will always have a place for you and your channel. And I know that in case I need to learn something, your channel is the place to do it, so keep the great work man.
Love how you can speak so honestly in front of the camera. No hesitation and to the point. Keep up the inspirational work.
I got Goosebumps. I also have some situation, but it's okay. You are a good man Brad. I respect you. 🙏
I absolutely loved this video! Thank you! Some people just need to hear those positive words. I would love to watch more videos like this! Thanks for making my day!
You my friend Brad , you are my hero , just because of you I have started taking interest in web development once again. And now I'm successfully doing freelancing apart from my job at company. Soon I'm going to register my company as well. Thank you so much for making these videos and guidance. Love you man ❤️
I see so much value in your videos unlike other so called business gurus who keep on putting bullshit and putting zero value throughout the video. Your videos gives so much inspiration to me
I love the way you cut to the chase with your comments and advice Brad. Right on the money as usual. Running your own enterprise is a massive learning experience from the blockages on the journey. Nobody can tell you all the problems you will face. Many fall back to the 9 to 5 but if you adopt a 'damn the torpedos' mentality and press on relentlessly regardless of the inevitable setbacks, you can get through bad times. You can bounce back and your enterprise will flourish 😀. Feel the passion and believe in yourself and your abilities.
The camera looks sharp! Great video Brad.
thank you for this. i really needed this today. you are a huge inspiration and i hope to give back to individuals like me the way you do!
Good video Brad! I started my own business last month and have more work than I could have dreamed of after one month. And then to think about it started with watching an html basics video from you... You are impacting lives out here man!
I have been following you in YT for a few years now and I was always so and so with your style but I always came back and I must say I really can appreciate the way you’ve developed your style in the way you provide information whether it’s a tutorial or life advice talk. Thanks for being so consistent and for being brave enough to share your true story. You’ve been a major source of inspiration and still are. Will definitely support on Patreon when I’m doing better financially. I won’t forget. Thanks Brad, Jean.
I'm referring your videos for everyone who ask me for web development videos and they came up to me with the same feeling what I had when watched your videos .. Satisfaction guaranteed with your stuffs
That's awesome :) Thank you for referring people to my vids
@@TraversyMedia my pleasure
Speaking from my heart: thank you, mentor! Incredible..
man, what I like about your channel it is because it is not too technical, your life and experience have motivated me soo much, with all the adversities you manage to be very successful and always move forward... I am on the same journey with my own monsters as well but I won't let it stop my progress. Always focusing on what is really important and brings me motivation. Thanks for sharing these experiences with us.
Thank you for sharing that! Today out of all days, I needed to hear that message. You were one of my inspirations to start my own channel but as you know, the road is long and content creation is time consuming. It’s easy to get discouraged walking down this road but hearing your message and your struggles, puts it all in perspective. Again, thanks for sharing that with us.
Who else like that Pillow !!
I didnt even see it until I seen your comment lol
That’s such a swag out piece to have!
Brad you're my inspiration and 90% of my knowledge i owe it to you ... May God bless you :) love and respect from India :)
Thank you Brad for another great video! I so appreciate the fact that you are a straight shooter & get the point across succinctly, telling us like it is. I'm a recent coding bootcamp graduate (funny that I see my former tutor's comments - Steve Chapman - below) not yet working in the industry, but I will break in soon. These past few months, all of your longer, tutorial videos have helped me tremendously to overcome learning hurdles/brick walls and act as in incredible supplemental tool to my formal studies. But these shorter videos are a great resource too; there's nothing like hearing it from someone who is in the same boat. I'll continue watching for sure. I admire your tenacity and dedication in overcoming your own hurdles -- it's very inspirational. Wishing you continued success, and thanks again Brad!!
I have a son with autism , 31 years old, divorced, and live with my parents. Working my butt off and enjoying everyday and the struggle

Got a coffee, a fried egg with a tomatoe and came to the pc just to see there was a new upload... feel this vid is just for me lol thanks!!
That was my thinking exactly because all week I have been thinking where do I start?
@@tigere01 I live at Argentina... leaving would be a start for me ha!
The video IS just for you, and you alone. The coffee, egg, and tomato, are not.
@@0ElChaza0 You could certainly benefit from travels, see the diversity of our world or make new connections, meet opportunities etc. However it goes without saying that the www is omnipresent. Location transparent so to speak so just start with the next best small step from any location.

Travis.I’ve watched a lot of your videos. You have taught me much. This one literally the first I’ve seen you not slaying that code. Still learned much. You legend.
So I got this notification when I'm watching Traversy Media video haha
Thanks, Brad. Please make more videos like this.

Haha, that's so fucking weird man.
Brad, you are the man! I am from the school of thought that think freelance, business and entrepreneurship. I am currently working for a communication firm somewhere in Europe and am designing apps....saas, managing databases and creating content for the internal working of the company. But i really have desire to do something i would call my own. Am trying to get things to work out right and see how fast i can make a move
Awesome message Brad, I couldn't agree more. I've been a front-end dev for over 10 years now and it's been a truly liberating experience to be able to build out my ideas over the years. By the way, I've purchased many of your courses on Udemy and I have to say you are the most clear, thorough, easy to understand teacher I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. Keep up the great work sir!
Brad, I see you being a motivational speaker.
Thank you Sir, God bless you, just have faith in God ,your handsome boy will talk.
Sensei, When I started watching your videos, I was not sure with anything, but once you engage only then you know how amazing they are. I just love the fact how you love people to win... That is so rare these days. Even I want my friends to win. And these quality and aspects which when I find other people really makes it hopeful to live in this world. As you said, for every dickhead, there is thousands of nice people around :)
Your teaching style/realness has helped me a ton with learning software development and becoming a better all around developer. Just wanted to say thanks for everything, greatly appreciated 🙌🏻
your every video comes when I am online! keep it up brad...
Cause you're online all the time)
I know you! You live at Jonas's discord server, right?
Love your channel and your videos! When ever I need help I know you will have a video that can help 😄😄
You must be a great dad...you not only give career advice but about life as well. Thank you for being so real with us..👏

Heck yes! Thanks for encouraging people to pursue the indie path. Starting a business is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Everything is unlimited: opportunity, knowledge, income, etc. . Awesome vid.

Why code for others when you can code for yourself and get rich? 💰
Much respect!!! I am in the process of making a career transition and getting back into programming and data science. My son is 4 and has ASD so I know how hard it is. Thanks for the encouragement to push forward and build this empire.
I am using your tutorials from time to time, but now i know we share a lot of mindsets tbh.
I am also self taught developer, learned mostly from books, and from start I am building my own "empire".
I am from eastern Europe but i currently have few partners in states and we are planning some bigger relationship.
My biggest fear is the bookkeeping and accounting side, keeping the tax authorities happy. I know the obvious answer would be to get an accountant, but when you starting out, that's quite a big expense, when your cashflow isn't that strong. Any advice?
I get that. I am horrible with that stuff but I found an awesome accountant that handles everything for me and he does it at a very low rate. It's all about finding the right people to help
@@TraversyMedia I guess so. Probably just a case of shopping around and finding the right fit. Do you do your own day to day bookkeeping and then hand it over to the accountant once a week / month? Maybe a good topic for one of your more business related videos, since you're such a role model to so many people.
@Ant You can try to find a small accountant company or a single person and offer them to do some web development services as a settlement for their accountant services. Probably they might want to extend their company website with some new functionallities which you can do in few hours a month. If you just start with your business (as a freelancer for example) it would not requiere a lot of accountant work so they might be interested with such a services exchange.
@@paweorzechowski3422 Thanks, that's a good suggestion.
I use Xero. It’s an online accounting system which is straightforward and powerful enough for most small to medium businesses. I found an accountant who also uses Xero, and he charges only for the work he does. I spend about an hour or so a month on my “bookkeeping” and that’s mainly creating invoices and reconciling transactions with the bank accounts. Xero imports the transactions automatically from my bank, so this whole process is really fast. I also have to pay some contractors in other currencies, and Xero handles that too with ease. At tax time, I just ask my accountant to clean-up any errors I might have made (usually account coding mistakes), and then it’s really simple for him or someone in his team to prepare the tax returns. He has “Advisor” access to my Xero account and I find this entire process so simple. I’ve also used Freshbooks in the past, and that worked well, but I needed more robust accounting features, rather than just an invoicing system.
I am 14, and I am going to start after I finish learning JS. I know HTML, CSS, and PHP now.
EDIT: I forgot about React
Oh no do you need to relearn react now?
I think you have a strong voice bro! I'm a web developer in the making and I use a lot of your content to study while "trying to build my empire" but I find your voice so factual when am consuming your tutorials. please keeping this up. Much love from Africa
You're awesome bro! I hope to have my own empire soon. Been working on it for the past 8 years and all ideas are crap. Still working on it. Keep doing what you're doing
Book recommendation for business life as a whole: 33 Strategies of War from Robert Greene , I can't stop recommending this book it's too insightful and entertaining
Great book man.. 48 laws of Power from the same writer s also very good in similar but different terms👈
check out "Mastery," too (best for folks < c. 30)
Self Reliance by Ralph Emerson
Yes! Great book.
Brad please teach us how can we use node and express apis in a mobile app
You can create an App perhaps w/React Native, and all your API calls go to a Server/Serverless running express -- but Node/Express doesn't run on mobile which is why you compile to Native Mobile which makes calls to a Server.

Salute for you brad!! You are the kind of content creator that we all need in this space. I am at my 29 with 2 beautiful kids. Have my regular job as a professional in another field but constantly learning and learning to become a programmer since this is what i really want to do. Scraping around your contents really what make me motivated to keep pushing and learning. I even got your course in udemy!! I hope for the best for you and your family. Looking forward for more inspiring contents coming from you!!
I help as much as I can and I could do more. Not because I have to but because I believe that we should pay it forward. You're a better example. You're a good person and your son is thinking about love. That's what he needs and I'm sure he has it in spades. Sometimes we lose sight of what we're trying to accomplish but we reap what we sow. Thanks for the tuts brother!
Amazing video. I still remembered when learning to make simple website using your video and upload it to the hosting, it was amazing feeling for me. Coming from business person, I always wanted to code. Since I always come up with new idea, but I can't make it happen since I don't have the skill to code. Now I understand several programming language, because of you. Thank you very much my good Sir
I've been doing all of what you suggested here and it works. I've built a marketing base for my game by giving value to others and branded my company at the same time. Good advice and reminders, as well as some all around motivation. Subbed!
One thing i like about your videos is that along with the content that you are delivering you give us a lot of motivation(it really does). Thanks for your work. Cheers!
You are one of the reason why I sit back front of the monitor 2nd time and keep/restart studying! The end of the tunnel is still millions of miles away but I'll get there!
THANK YOU BRAD!
Your videos are really needed. Thank you for taking your time. I have came a long way and your videos played a huge part.
Hi Brad just wanted to let you know I stumbled upon your videos and really enjoy them so far. Thanks for the informative, unbiased and personal lessons you share. Great example and really helpful!
The fact that you have faced such strong difficulties and the fact that you are doing so well even currently facing "down moments" makes me feel so "small" in front of you since you are really a great man and at the same time so positive since, in reality, you are just a beautiful common person like everybody here, like me too! That means i can do it, i can achieve the same goals you were talking in this video. Thank you so much for existing and being such a living inspiration and also for resisting to all the bad moments.
You should not feel small. If you met me 10 years ago I was absolutely nowhere. It is all relative to time. You never know what can happen
Hearing this is exactly what I needed right now. You are a very kind human being. I am really grateful for all the content you provide. Thank you Brad!
I’ve just started learning programming to change my life and this video always gives me a lot of strength. Thank you, Brad.
thank you. I needed this. I've been having a lot of doubts tonight in particular about the path I'm taking and this video popped up and spoke directly to me. God bless you.
Good chat. I've built and continue to build websites on the side in my spare time. Some of them have turned in to online businesses that ended up making a lot of money over time. Also, there are no limitations to my creativity when I'm working on projects for myself. Then I take that experience to my day job as a developer and that puts me over the top as far as being competitive in the software development field. So few challenge themselves to this level. If you're a developer, why not build your own Empire.
Hey Brad, Thanks for opening up a bit and giving us encouragement. I always enjoy and get a lot out of all the content you put out. Keep up the good work man!
This is my second time watching this video in the past 6 months. I love you, Brad. You are absolutely the man. Thanks for putting all of this out there because it's definitely need-to-be-said advice! Best to you, brother.
Just finished your basic JavaScript course. loved it!
About to start one of your Node based courses!
Can't remember the exact names of the courses at the moment but wanted to thank you anyway!
Thanks for everything!!
My first html template was developed after watching your tutorials , man you are on of the few UA-camr who shares his business and life rather than promoting their business all time
My brother is autistic too. And there's only 2 of us. And it is expected that I will take care of him. Thank you Brad! Indeed you are an inspiration.
I've bought that freelance bundle in the past, and it was worth every penny. Extremely helpful and the ebook helped make sense of everything.
Hey Brad, I'm just getting started in learning web development. I'm finishing up your HTML and CSS course now and starting your JS course.
I really appreciate this video. I've built an automotive maintenance business from the ground up made some good money. I hated the work though.
I love your empire mindset. Ive always loved technology and fascinated by how it all operates and have put off learning about it for way to long.
I'm looking forward to the 70+ hours of videos you have waiting for me over at Udemy. At an amazing value I might add..
" what you give is what you get back ". Awesome! Brad. I never had this perception. Nobody has ever told me that. THANKS 🙏.
I love that you do these non-coding videos too. Thanks for much for all you do to help people learn to code, and achieve their dreams. Also sick Pats hat 🏈🔥
Your the best Brad! Thanks for sharing your personal struggles as an entrepreneur (9 year old son with autism, etc). It's awesome to see you keep fighting and doing positive things despite your challenges.
Most humble man . You are the reason I will become a Dev . Thank you for everything !!!!

This is Golden man. Thanks for the positive message. im currently an undergrads..all of my projects were helped because of your crash courses..and now im inspired to become a developer of my own.. never stop encouraging and teaching us to become our better selves.
