 What's up team in this vlog? We're gonna be talking about what kind of web developers Should you be what kind of web developer? Do you do you want to be and we're gonna go a little deeper into Into into life and into in some things. Let's get to a team All right team. So it's your biggest fan the real Casadero welcome back again for another session Don't forget to hit the subscribe button mash the bell So you get notifications when new videos come out and some of you out there You're probably like why is he saying this at the beginning of the video because you might as well do it now? So you don't forget at the end in case I forget to remind you because I'm gonna drop some knowledge on you And you're gonna want to be coming back to get more and more of this as time goes on. So check it out Here's the deal right? There's three different kinds of developers and this goes for just about every job every profession Every freaking where there's there's three different types of people There are the people that are employed. There are the people that put that provide Services and there are the people that own a business and they consume services and they employ other people And I didn't think about this when I was younger be Probably because I didn't know maybe because I was immature or or whatever And yesterday when I was do when I was recording one of the vlogs I was thinking I don't know how it just popped into my head I thought of this images that I that I saw once and it was this office It's a huge office and it was like rows and rows of desk and there's people at these at the desk in the caption on the picture said each of these people is a Cell in a spreadsheet and that got me to thinking and I thought about it back then But yesterday I was really thinking about it and I was like man They are right all of those people at that at those desks and this is back before computers all these people were on typewriters And they had a they had a typewriter on their desk and a calculator and some notebooks and some and a bunch of file folders And literally what they would do is they would receive Some sort of operation that they needed to do it. Maybe they had a specific operation Get these numbers and add them all together and then put them on a different report and give it to the next person Which is what a spreadsheet does does today But back then people were hired to do this and they would type out they would type out these reports They were crunched the numbers and their cell would produce these results and in somebody at the top of the business the business owner They would have the big picture view of everything and what they when they when they looked at a business report They were literally looking at all of the information that all of these other people had crunched together about everything else That was going on inside of the business So we just talked about two parts We talked about the employee which is the cell and the spreadsheet and the owner Which is the person that owns the computer and the spreadsheet and the printer and everything and these people They're gonna be using some outside services. Maybe right at the very least they got somebody who comes and picks up the trash They got somebody who comes and cleans the windows They got somebody who comes in in mobs of floors and cleans the bathrooms and does all that stuff They got accounts. They got lawyers. They got Business coaches and they got maybe Well, this was the 50s, but we a business would have maybe well a web development company They use a marketing company. They use all these external companies and all these people out there They're they're providing a service to the company. So these are real people and real businesses who are Providing a service and this takes us into the the the second the second kind of person, which is the Which would be the the freelancer contractor subcontractor and The only difference between the freelancer and the business owner is the freelancer or the subcontractor Whatever they do everything themselves, which means they they they're often times. They are probably doing They're they're being compensated more for doing more work And and as they get better at it then they maybe can compress this work So they're doing less work and they're making more money But then you have the business owner who can offload all of the actual work to someone else They take a profit it may be less than what they would make if they did all the work themselves But they don't have to do all these physical things So they don't have to be present in any one place at any particular time to do anything They just have to be able to think Strategically about how to grow the business and how to increase the business's income and their income, you know and and so They look for maybe bottlenecks in the business where They may have to hire more people or they may have to come up with a different inventory system and stuff like that And the reason I'm talking about this kind of stuff is because I believe that in it's something that I that I failed to do that I'm thinking about now and I began to work on is Which is gonna produce the outcome that we want for our lives and it all of these things are are Completely reasonable for every person being an employee is extremely safe It being a being a solo entrepreneur is less safe than being in an employee But with that risk comes a bigger reward and you have and you don't have all of the Responsibility of the business owner the business owner when they hire someone now They become responsible for their income and the income of the person that they hired and I would say it's probably their Duty spot responsibility and obligation to help that person grow as an individual and as a professional in whatever feel it is that they're that they are Employed by this company to do right so if they're employed as a web developer It is beneficial both to the business and to the person who's working as an employee in the business To to receive time to do additional training and in time to learn more about how other parts of the business work in and really be made a part of the team and in in a Part of of helping the business grow now a lot of businesses don't operate like this of course is completely understandable because Sometimes you just can't you have to run the business like a business and that's that's just the way it is some people disagree but The best way to disagree is not to buy their products and services And if enough people do this they'll cease to be a business and they'll cease to treat employees badly and all these other things but but moving on moving on from that I Talk about this because the the risk is much higher when you get all the way up to the business side But the reward can be much much higher and coming through school and coming up through life You hear people talk about retirement and 401ks and all these different things and not too long ago within the Within the last 20 years People were able to go out and get a job at a company and work there for 20 years And then receive some sort of of pension or retirement plan or something like that, but that started to go away You know 15 15 15 years ago and people are left on our own to manage their own 401k So they put their money with money managers who put their money with it with hedge funds And now their money is controlled by the ups and downs of the stock market So you can work for a dollar today put it over put the dollar into into some sort of retirement account With the goal of it being five dollars by the time you retire But it's subject to market fluctuations and it may only be worth the dollar But inflation has gone up so everything costs more but you got the same amount of money and that that's really risky Then you in so a way to to avoid that kind of risk So you're giving up a little a little security In order to earn more than you normally would So you could put more away and maybe diversify in your investments because the more money you have the more diversity You can have and I'm not sure diversity is the way that people should go But that's maybe that's a whole different vlog all together, but then Conversely you have the business side where you can you can grow the business as big as you want All you have to do is be able to be able to scale Services and labor in all of that stuff and you can control the profits and you can control what those profits do So maybe they can be used to buy other income producing assets or buy other businesses that produce greater income And if you if you run a business the good way, it's the most risky It's probably the the the most stressful thing to do But if you do it right you can accumulate enough money where you don't have to worry about a Retirement plan and you don't have to worry about What happens if if you're solo con if you're solo contract or something what happens if I got sick or what? Or or I don't want to work anymore or whatever and so now that I'm thinking about that stuff. I Just I just wanted to make up make up make a vlog and talk about it to get other people thinking about it In as far as web development goes what kind of developer do you want to be do you want to be a developer that that's an employee and then How is that going to benefit you in the life you want to be living? 10 15 20 years down the road Or maybe maybe really building your skills to become a freelancer, which doesn't involve just code But it involves marketing and selling how this may benefit you and maybe You want to start a business something that you can build up or or multiple businesses that you build on your own So you have maybe you have a app here And you have a membership site there and you got a retail business here And you got maybe some real estate over here and these things are all producing income But you don't necessarily have to be there in the business operating the business every day You can stop working anytime you want and the money is gonna continue coming and if you say everything up, right? It'll continue coming for generations down the road And so I just thought I'll talk about it so people start thinking about that kind of stuff because I'm definitely on the business side I I don't want to just generate income for myself and my immediate family I want to generate income for my grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren And there are some people out there who want to be who who maybe haven't even thought about that But now they see this and like yeah That's the kind of person I want to be and now you can begin thinking about that And there'll be more videos about this kind of stuff going on into the future team That's why I say you should subscribe and click the notification But so you notify when there's new videos you can come back here and we can hang out a little more We can talk a little more and maybe we can learn something from one another So if you like this video leave a thumbs up if you didn't like it leave a thumbs down Leave some comments below so I know what it is you like to see what it is you like to talk about and That if you're if you're interested in learning to code your beginner You're just gonna start to check out the code 365 startup lab where there's some very basic courses Where it's just me talking like this and I'm going line by line with you through code And if you really want to go on adventure join the code 365 startup lap This is an actual paid membership where I'm going to be building I'm gonna be planning an app building a series of applications tying those all together putting them online Marketing them and then bringing paying customers to monetize and get somehow so it generates some sort of income That is it for this vlog. I will see you in the next vlog team
