Just the video I needed to see. You’ll never know, if you don’t try. Texas here I come!

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 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 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.

One thing about Houston and Dallas, you can find you the job you want.

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.

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! ❤

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?'

[PatricenotPatrick]

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 ❤️

[coffeegotthetea]

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.

[GODWILLWIN]

I just moved here today. Thank you for this beautiful inspirational video.

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!!

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!

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.

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!

[CoolGirl]

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! ❤

[Metal-Head]

I’ve been researching a ton for moving to Texas and Houston is one of my options. This video really helped me understand the pros in changing my environment because being stagnant and never changing is one of my greatest anxieties that I’ve been dealing with. Thank you for your video sir, God bless 🙌🏻

[TheSecondpriest]

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

[Leah_mrie]

This video is confirmation that I need to make that move to Texas for Nursing school and to rediscover my passions and hobbies. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation about going outside of your comfort zone.
