The key here is you were ready to hustle. I'm not a fan of the whole "hustle culture" thing, but running a business does require drive, determination and some serious risk taking. That single day showed you had the courage to build something from scratch. Congrats on the hard work paying off!!

[@lukasvanderlende]

Thank you so much, it definitely does require that! Thankful I took that risk

[@ronbackal]

Have to say about the trip that I actually really regret not going to Mount Rainier in the few months I lived in Seattle . I did go to North Cascaded and one other nature spot I can’t remember, but there’s something about Mt Rainier that is majestic !

[@lukasvanderlende]

My Rainier is great! I’ve been a couple of times now and it’s beautiful!

[@ronbackal]

Definitely would love to see more videos like this . Makes me think where I’m heading :-) thank you

[@lukasvanderlende]

Can do! Happy to share my experiences!

[@jacobb1297]

Thank you for sharing mate.
I’m in the exact same situation, from fired to want to freelance, struggling to get started, find work etc..
More videos would be so helpful and appreciated🤙🏻

This is so helpful! I feel like my next phase is trying to figure out how to get started with freelance work but kinda terrified to make the jump. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@lukasvanderlende]

For sure! Glad you enjoyed it Josh and yeah, it’s a big move!

[@AndersBakfeldt]

Inspirational, thx

[@lukasvanderlende]

You’re welcome!

[@samuelkuro]

Thanks for sharing Lukas! I'm in a similar situation right now working as an in house photo/videographer for a design agency. I'm daily looking for an opportunity to work for myself.

[@lukasvanderlende]

Great place to be though!

[@MKWHD]

Very interesting. Go ahead, make some more.

[@lukasvanderlende]

Will do!

[@joshrexford]

Dude that west coast trip was the best. We should do a version 2.0 sometime...

[@lukasvanderlende]

West coast v2.0 sounds incredible

[@tundrusphoto4312]

Thank you for this. Inspirational, heartfelt and wonderful. All the best.

[@lukasvanderlende]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
