Just the video I needed to see. You’ll never know, if you don’t try. Texas here I come!
Im glad!
You'll love it
Best move I ever made!
Don’t come to Houston to many ppl
hows it been so far? im thinking about moving to texas
I moved to Dallas, Texas in 2008 to do this very thing. Change my life. My entire family for 100 years did not move from St. Louis. Not a single person ever left there, the place where they were born. My life was all the same before....same friends, same places to go to, same roads to travel on, same outlooks.....same..same. I lived in Dallas for 10 years before going to the Cincy area. I want to move back though to Dallas some day. I also did not have much money when moving but had a friend who let me stay with them for awhile before getting my own place.
My tips for moving.
1. Have a job lined up
2. Have a place to live lined up
3. Have more money saved up than you think you will need to get settled. Stuff happens. 3K to 8K
4. Join social clubs like meetups
5. Get one very good friend if possible
6. Get AAA for car breakdowns
7. Put yourself out there. Drive around your new city for hours looking for future places to go to
8. Go to restaraunts and talk to people
9. Talk to people, talk to people, talk to people. You never know who you might meet who could help you get a job, date, future spouse, etc etc
10. Be open to new experiences
11. Research the city you want to move to. Watch tons of videos showing the city. Join City-Data.com and look at the forums on your city.
12. Research cost of living websites that tell you how much you will need to make in your new city to live the same way or better from your old one.
Texas is AWESOME for growth because it's so big. It has so MANY possibilities because there are so many jobs and industries in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio and other cities.
I’m still in the 618 lol I’m moving soon though
@@Hi_Its_Me_Tai Yes
Great Advice! Thank you
Thank you so much for the advice
What moving company do you recommend?
One thing about Houston and Dallas, you can find you the job you want.
Very true my friend, very true.
I plan on moving to Houston next year and I’m really concerned about finding a decent paying job since minimum wage is $13/hr. I’m thinking about getting a server job while I figure it out
@@simonerenea you’ll find a job in Houston no problem
I only had to watch 2 minutes of your video to completely identify with you. I did the same thing in 1994. I moved from San Jose California with the company I was with at the time. Moved to Austin first. Met my wife and started a family there. Then in 1999 we moved to Houston. I started a manufacturing business there and never looked back. Texas has been so good to me in so many ways.
man I love to hear that!
They hiring? 😅
You are so real and authentic. I needed to hear your message today. I grew up in Houston so I know what you went through. It's a tough city. But if you find your niche, you will be good. . Find your tribe. Your words were so inspiring. You made me look at myself today and say...'What are you doing? What are doing it for?'
Thanks Rosalie this message is much appreciated 🙌 wise words
I grew up here born and raised. It’s not the Houston I am from anymore. Most people aren’t from here. I returned after college in NYC and it was unrecognizable (even physically, where did half of these skyscrapers come from??) so it felt hard fitting in again or making friends since most of mine left for college too. But it’s a great place full of great people. Welcome to Houston. Your suffering through our summer will be rewarded this winter I promise you lol ❤️
As a Houstonian we really be chillin
I move to houston next month and I am so scared! But you’re right! I can’t expect change if I don’t break my routine! Thank you so much for this video! ❤
How was it?
I just moved here today. Thank you for this beautiful inspirational video.
That’s awesome congrats! 🙌
Oh man, Jeroy...you and I are brothers from the same Father. I was pulled to Houston. Took a blind leap of faith because I KNEW we were supposed to be here. It was the biggest faith risk I took and wow, am I so glad I took the leap into what the Lord had for us. Incredible change of life, both spiritual and physical. We piled what we could in our Toyota and stayed in a corporate apartment for 3 months. I didn't even have a job lined up when we decided to pull the trigger on the move, but the Lord opened a job up while we were on our way to town. Our needs have been met every step of the way. It's surreal to really and truly rely on your next steps to be guided by the Lord. He's incredibly faithful. My wife and my faith have been supercharged in a way not possible by playing it safe had we stayed behind in our old life and state.
I'd sure love to meet up with you and compare notes. We took identical leaps of faith just a year apart...2017 for us. Welcome to Houston!
Man this was such a great late night read…. Appreciate all the kingdom words in this message 🙌 God bless your family and stay in the light which I’m sure you will! Stay in touch
I moved to Houston in 2016. Luckily I had a job when I got here because I would have been homeless. Anyway, Coming from being homeless in California I’m in a better place, however, I’m stuck. No car, mediocre job making $18.50, living paycheck to paycheck. That being said it doesn’t mean I’m lazy or don’t have dreams. I’m in college and it is going to take time. Overall, I’m thankful for being in Houston.
Where do u work at bro I thought Texas paid little compared to states like Massachusetts
@@imunmire I work for a dairy processing plant
@@AndreTJones ahh sweet bro thanks for answering I’m from Massachusetts but I have siblings in Texas I’m going to visit once I get vacation time thinking about moving there sick of the cold
The affirmations throughout this entire video is EXACTLY what I needed. Never know if you don't try and Houston has been tugging on my spirit for 2 years now. Thank you so much! I'm coming to my new home.
STAY IN YOUR STATE
Im from Los Angeles and I have been needing a change of environment. My gf has family in Houston and im actually in El Paso now driving there to get a feel for what Houston is like. After seeing this video I am more than likely going to move here next month. All i have is my work Ethic and just knowing its a big change is already having me excited to start my grind! Thanks for this Video bro. God Bless.!
I lived in TX 30 years ago and I have always felt it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I only lived there 1 year, but it really changed my life for the better. Now 30 years later, I have been back to visit a couple of times, with the last time being last week. My husband & I have decided we are going to move there next year. Texas has a vibe like no other. It's just a great state and place to live!
Love stories like this! God bless yall
I am also from Buffalo and I have seriously considered moving somewhere in Texas, whether Houston or Austin. I have fear about it since I would be alone and wouldn’t know anyone there! But this video truly inspired me to go after my dreams, no matter the discomfort that comes with it. Thank you! ❤
Same, we’re so brave to take such a step alone but we’ll survive we’re strong and we’ll meet good people along the way! 🫶🏿
Hey! I’ve been following you and watching your videos for a while now. I am also a NY native (845) transitioning to Houston. Your videos are so inspirational and motivating. Continue doing what you’re doing; never give up. Thank you so much.
Really appreciate this message 🙌
What made you leave nyc ? I’m considering Houston and nyc to move to. I’m in Florida and need a change somewhere to grow in opportunity. I love the city life of nyc but I’m worried about how expensive it is and I can do a lot in Houston plus live in a nice affordable space
Feel like this came at the right time . This video & your channel , thank you !
Agreed!
Thank you!
Change is always good. Houston seems like the move.💯
Valuable video as always bro 💯 Sometimes it takes a change of environment to allow us to reimagine and shape our overall perspectives! “StayTrueToSelf”
Thanks my guy! #StayTrueToSelf
I came 2 years ago from Minnesota and I was scared at first ...same situation but U right... stay focused and in prayer and leave the comfort zone
Wow!! I moved from Minnesota in 2020 in Colorado right now. But not sure where Texas?
Incredible line, life is going to change. Whether you like it or not, it’s going to change anyways.
I love the authenticity in this video! THE MOVE, MOVED EVERYTHING ELSE
I’m relocating and have been watching different testimonials. This is by far the most encouraging! Thank you for sharing!
In my early 20s and have had the dream of moving to TX or FL for years. I’ve been apprehensive bc all my friends and family are in NY. Thx for the video and God Bless!
God Bless!
same but I'm thinking Texas less gators to deal with
This video really gave me more faith thank you! I’m contemplating about Houston, Florida & Delaware I’m tired of the cold so thank you again ❤
I’m moving to Houston from Atlanta in four months. I’m also a lifestyle content creator and a model. Wish me luck bro!! God bless y’all!!
Just wanted to say thank you for this video! You echoed everything I'm feeling right now about moving, especially the part you mentioned about fear. I def needed to hear this.
Im glad🙌
I grew up in western Massachusetts and moved to Houston in 2017. I could definitely relate to your experience with moving and change. Great video!
Proud of you! Great opportunity is why we're all here.
Awesome video! I wish more people would figure things out like you did. Sometimes you have to look within and identify there's nothing here that's going to change my life.
Thank you for making this video and sharing your experience!
Thanks for the inspiration, planning on coming to Houston soon, hope to see around God bless!
Was conflicted about whether I should make the move. I loved the city when I visited. These words make me sure that I have to take the leap and trust that God will be with me along the way. Great video brother
Yes God will! Thank you🙌

Thanks brodie!
Ive been going back and forth with myself for months in where I want to be. today I had enough of my environment living in Iowa, I am so limited for the life I want to live. I asked where do I go, and “Houston” flashed in my mind. I searched for further insight and this is the first video I came across. I was meant to come across you. Blessings and love, thank you for sharing your experience and piece of Mind☝🏽☝🏽
Amazing video. I agree, moving to houston is life changing ...people here are spoiled ( I mean this tongue in cheek as in they do not know what they have here...) but man is htown good across the board - this video warms my heart and I pray for you to continue on this positive journey.
Much appreciated man!!
Mann I needed to hear this, been wanting to move to Texas
thank you for this video. i went there for 3 days after my vacation to see whats out there. and I really wanna move out there maybe in a couple months
No problem ! Great city
Thank you for sharing, I live in the Caribbean and I want to move and your video just confirmed that if I won't know if it will work if I don't try!!
Definitely a video I needed, I’ve been going back and forth about moving to Texas and my heart really wants to but of course I’m scared but like you said it’s the uncomfortable feeling that I’m getting because I have no idea what is gonna happen but I will never know if I don’t try
You got this!
I'm so ready for a change so much needed for my life.
cool video bro, im looking forward to moving there in the next six months, God I pray its sooner
I feel you brother, I moved hear a week before my birthday my senior year in 2022. It sucked but now looking back at it moving to a big state was definitely the right move. Also being from Minnesota the year-round hot weather it amazing.
Love to hear that man foreal
This is where I am mentally i need change especially after losing my mom I’m torn between htx and stx so ready to leave Va in my rear view
I agree with everything u said yes that’s why I made the decision to come from South Carolina to Houston me and my daughter first time on a plane is definitely gone be amazing I’ll be there on the 21st next week can wait so here come the Houston vlogs the devil will not hold me back I’m ready to level up thank u for the video hope to see u around my friend 😊❤
Excited for you, You got this!!
I was born and Raised in Houston. I love my city! Welcome 🙏🏻
Amen to all that you said brother. My wife and I sold our farm in Illinois and moved to Conroe Texas. This is a state like none we've ever been to. In every aspect. There's a sense of almost family with complete strangers, not all but most. I have a construction company so I'm all over the place,from Sugarland up to Centerville and from Cleveland to Tomball and everywhere within. Division by socialstatus, race,and politics became our ruination in Illinois we had to ,like you said, take the leap of faith and find our personal promise land ,for lack of a better word. Everyday, two years later,It's been and still is an interesting experience to say the least, its welcoming, nobody pays any mind to what anyone else is doing, i love it. , We love native Texans,they're Real.. like your shirt reads. I hear the concerns of the native Texans every now and then and I can't help but smile, based on the chaos and negativity we left behind,its like comparing an old episode of the twilight zone with the exorcist lol. So far,two of our six kids have moved down here too,God willing they will all make the choice to leave the familiar all behind and get where they can think freely, believe freely, and like you said, put their work ethic where they are paid very well,with no state income tax to boot,and where there's no doubt no better job opportunities than anywhere else in America. Love it here,it's home. We'll never leave Texas. You're a great ambassador for Texas brother, God bless ya.
Mannnnn…..God bless you and your family🙌
Thank you for those Words, Jeroy. Very Inspiring...........New Subscriber
Thank youuu sooooo much!!!! I am going to move soon to HTX and You have inspired me!
Awesome!
Damn bro the growth has been real!!
My guy🙌
Being born and raised here and wanting to leave sooo damn bad for the past 10 years, it’s really hard to fathom how anyone WANTS to live here…. But I guess we all crave something new and better. Good luck to all the newcomers, I hope you love it more than I have.
Amen brother keep it up u got it on God✊🏽
✊🏾
Most native Houstonians, like myself, are curious on how others see the city.
Wow... what a God sent.
You'll never know how much I needed to hear this.
Very inspirational
Thank you!
Im a Mexican, born and raised in northern Mexico. I lived in a lot of places, but besides my real hometown, Pasadena (south-east Houston) is my second home.
