Great story - it does really boil down to hard work, and a love of your craft but also some good education (formal and life experiences) as you used this knowledge to structure your company and manage your money. I am sure you could tell lots of stories but thanks for sharing this. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Me a 14 year old Lava laps👀 Bricksie “No” Me ok LEGO 👀🤑🤑🤑

Well done for building a career with something you love. Took vision, hard work at taking the risk. Thanks for sharing! Happy Christmas Jordan, from Ireland.

Appreciate the very candid overview of your business entrepreneurship. I think it’s fair to say whilst you love what you do and most of the time we see you buying lots of great lego sets and building them, behind the scenes there is a lot of hard work to make it all happen.

I just recently found your channel accidentally looking for something else Lego related. I was really drawn to the Bricksie basement Lego world you’ve created and was very impressed with the collection you’ve amassed in the last half decade! Now, after watching this video, I’m super excited to see what you have coming in the future and how things develop with your company. You’ve turned a hobby in to something incredible and amazing and now I’m subscribed! Good luck and thank you! I loved legos as a kid and now I watch your channel at work 🤣

72K subscribers WOW! Your very transparent explanation which is impressive. I subscribed because of your work effort a long time ago, keep going, your passion will guide you!

Stumbled across this video and superb!! Well done. Good to see someone being honest about the work needed to get a dream job!

Nice of you to share your story, I’m sure it will inspire others and also show that hard work is key.

great video bricksie! you are an inspiration to all young lego youtubers! keep up the great work man!

Nice story mate and it’s great to hear all the hard work you put in to get where you’re at. My wife and I have just started to collect Lego. We both had tubs full from when we were kids, but recently I was able to convince her of the joy of building larger set. Luckily our Lego addiction started during Toy Sales here in Australia so we’ve been able to buy a lot of sets on special and just store them to build into the future. Love your positive attitude on life. Keep up the great work and I look forward to viewing more of your videos😀👍

Very interesting to hear. I've only recently started Lego in the past year or so. Managed to get a nice collection going but it is very costly and hard to maintain with everything else. So from what you've said has inspired me to give KZread/Twitch a go and see if I can make something more out of it.

Amazing, I’m just starting my Lego collection and KZread journey and I take a lot of inspiration from this video. It’s an awesome achievement you have managed to accomplish and I wish you all the best for the future.

I love this. It’s really inspirational but we appreciate the honesty and also the amount of dedication and purpose and hard work it took for you to be here. Congratulations, Jordan!

Wow man, you're just an awesome, down to earth human being, this is why you're hard work has helped you in shaping your life and becoming a successful KZreadr and lego builder. Hats off to you man. All the best for the future & Keep on bricking.

This is the type of stuff target for AFOLs and I love it! Give a true real perspective on how others can achieve the same goals. I recently started a bricklink store and this type of stuff helps.

Great to see you are following your passion. And agree, you gotta work hard. Nothing in this life comes for free!

Hey I watched this a while back and I’m watching it again today. I just started a Bricklink store and I’m learning about investing and reselling. Buying up a bunch of retiring sets and starting a channel about it all. Keep up the good work! It’s inspiring!

Jordan thanks for sharing, what an amazing story, jyst goes to show what a lot of hard work and some great advise from your parents and I'm sure maybe others has worked out for you at such an early age. You should write a book as I'm sure it would inspire others to save early and just be super smart with what you do. CONGRATS my dad used to say " if your job is doing something you love, it will never actually feel like it's a job" I hope someday soon that is how you feel about your channel. Im lucky to get to see it.

I love this! Great advice for everyone. There’s no get rich quick schemes to get you everything you want. Hard work, smart work, and patience. Great video! Earned a new subscriber!

You work hard and you are wicked smart!!! Congrats on your success! We are grateful for you!!

Joel" how did you afford this?" Jordan " i sell hardcore Drugs"

After hearing about all that hard work, you defiently deserve every single subscriber you have to this channel and every set you own (or brickise owns lol)

glad to see the hard work paying off. Only way is up from here, great work!!!

That was quite a story. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Obviously you’ve worked hard for what you have. Cheers!

Loved hearing your story! Very inspiring! You took the leap and look at where you are now. Very cool. Keep up the great work! 🎉🤘🏽😎

Thanks Bricksie, I really appreciate the explanation and the transparency you provided as a fan I'm really happy for you.

If ur under 18 like me, I found that the easiest way is to work a summer job, even if it’s a minimum wage job and you work part time hours, you can afford some very large sets after just a week of work. Thanks for sharing your tactics as an adult, I will definitely use these in the future.

Amazing story. Very encouraging to hear in detail how you did it. People should live and learn from your methods, smart and sensible. And hard work! My introduction to bricksie came because I can see Lego spending increasing and wondered how other people do it, so I was curious to his methods. Great content.

This was actually really interesting and awesome to learn about! I've always had a dream of starting my own business, and it's so cool to get a glimpse of what that is like.

This is really inspiring! Thank you Bricksie!! :)

Thanks a lot for sharing! 🙏🏼 As a private person you basically outsmarted the system by taking the company lane. Well done!👍🏻💪🏻

I’ve been able to start my LEGO hobby by obtaining credit card sign-up bonuses and finding ways to “manufacture spend” (buying gift cards to flip) and netting the cashback/points from credit cards. Made $9k last year from my side hustle all while working full time 40/hrs a week. Your method is fantastic though, too! I’ll have to look into possible LEGO reselling as you mentioned. Happy 2021!

I work quite a lot and where I work gives me a 10% discount on LEGO and sometimes even go on sale so I save a lot of money 💰

It has become a nightly routine to listen to people talking about Legos to fall asleep, I never thought that I’d love this story so much to be able to fall asleep knowing that this inspirational story exists.

You know that Lego is overpriced when you hear "downpayment on house" and "purchased lego" in the same sentence.

Great video, very informative; I think this is a topic that many people find very helpful and would be interested in learning more I know that applies to me for sure, plus this information is helpful across many industries whether it be Lego related or not.

I will say.....my first X-Wing Fighter was THE first one......in 1999. So, yeah, I have had a long time to build my collection, but AWESOME!! Keep building, man!!
