it was not for free actually, i still have to pay some money to get free trail for 14 days. I am disappointed
@@chirinismail4503 this is strange, because I used the link and got a 14-day free trial. In case I don't cancel they'll charge me. Maybe terms differ depending on... I don't know... a country... Or could it be because 1000 limit was crossed?
thank you Kalle, for this usefull link and opportunity for free trial!
This is exactly what i needed to hear....
I did something similar. In my late 20s I knew I would never make money doing what I wanted to do, so I developed a plan. I decided I would work for 40 years at whatever jobs I could find, to earn my government pension, but I would read in my spare time. Then I would write when I retired. It worked till I was 60, though employers constantly tried to fire me because I wasn't "ambitious." I was wrongfully dismissed in 2015 and decided "that was it." Since then I was written sixteen books and one pending (to be published late in 2021).
My husband was a professional photographer. The definition of professional is to be paid for the job, even if it’s a dollar . He made more than a dollar lol but you have to start somewhere. You have a good eye just because you hadn’t used that equipment before didn’t make you deceptive. They hired you for the talent they saw.
"Fake it till you make it" - ...at times the best way of succeeding really is just jumping into that cold water- you're quite right there Kalle, so thanks for sharing! Marian
They always say you dont learn unless you try it
The other day before I watched this, I had a moment where I thought "I want to be a photographer... no, I AM a photographer." and it's stunning how synchronistic this video is with my own journey. I am speechless. Thank you so much for sharing your story, it's really inspiring and exactly what I needed to hear!
To all the young people out there (well, also to the old ;) - Kalle is sooo right: just give it a try even when you don't yet feel ready, most of the time the worst thing is really that you are in the same place than before if it doesn't work out, but mentally you're a little step ahead then. (and some people - like me - will never be 100% sure to be ready, so I would still be on the starting line if not trying)
So happy you agree Mikael ❤
♡♡♡
"Start today- you don't have to be called as an artist" wow! That's inspiring.
❤🙏
Going to pass this on to my two children ( 20 & 22) . They need to hear this! Thank you for sharing Kalle💚🌿🌺
Thank you Marcelle ❤ I hope they'll like it too ❤🌲
This is such a good story and important message: just do it. As someone who definitely struggles with impostor syndrome on a daily basis, I really loved hearing your approach. Thanks for reminding me! =)
“Start before you’re ready.” Such good advice. There are a number of times I’ve looked back and thought, “I can’t believe I dove into that and came out the other side in one piece!”
Being out of your comfort zone is usually where you can find the most growth.
What a cool story!
So true! Thank you my friend ❤
What a remarkable story ! I'm so proud of you. Well done. I am so grateful that everything worked out for you. To be happy doing what you love and earning a living? Awesome! Blessings! 🤗
You're too sweet Linda, thank you ❤ Yea, it's an amazing feeling!
Man, I wish I saw this video ten years ago when I started out as a photographer. I always felt like I was "winging it" when everyone else in the biz had their sh*t together. I know now that's not true, and I'm so glad things worked out for you! Well done!! Being in situations like the one you were in, are absolutely terrifying.
I have a similar story, where I was fresh out of photography school, but still felt like I had no idea what I was doing. By a coincidence, a TV production company gave me a gig. It went well in the end, but everything that could go wrong, went wrong. The rain that day on location broke the circuit on one of my lamps, my printer wasn't working (they needed the pictures I took, printed within a few hours) and my Mac blacked out seconds after I finished the job. Long story short, it all worked out in the end, and this is now an experience I'm happy I've had.
I'm so happy you're talking about this, thank you so much for sharing. I hope every aspiring creative/artist/whatever people want to be sees this
I love this! Raw..Open..Honest and inspiring! You give others the courage to follow their passion. Life is full of failure, trial and error. The successful ones are those who failed a thousand times but never gave up! Tack!!!
This is incredible.. I felt the vibrations of overwhelming experience just by listening to your telling of this story.. this is a great message.. lots of people need to see this one, me included. I actually trying to capture my emotions right now but I barely can. One thing I want to tell you Kalle is, it was not a lie, it was your infinite higher self stepping the skeptical, overthinking mind aside to carry out the action of your true calling. This is magic. Man you have no idea what emotions I’m experiencing right now.. thank you for having the courage and awareness to talk about this ego defeating subject. I’m sending love to you and to all household members of yours❤️🌲❤️
Thank you for sharing with us cautious types, Kalle!
Inspiring!! Thanks a lot Kalle.
Oh Kalle,
I can't believe that you had the courage to that...This is such an inspiring story!
I was very motivated to start filmmaking, but then I fell in a big depression last year and it didn't make any sense to me anymore. About 2 months ago I moved to Sweden from Germany. I'm currently working on organic farms and places that practice permaculture and I'm so happy with my life again. Your story inspires me to start my creative filmmaking journey again... eventhough I only have my mobilephone, I have a Mac to cut. Maybe I reach out to my dad to send me his camera...
Thank you so so much for being in this world, Kalle!
Greetings and much love, Henry ❤️🦋☀️
I love your story! You are a pure inspiration :-) thank you for this video 🌻
Dear Kalle! I am so impressed! It is so great to learn something new from You! This video is great and full of possitive energy. Thank you for all words which make me stronger with my filmmaking beginings. I record and I feel shy to show my videos. You are right, we need to be stronger and more easyging in it. I love your videos and cannot wait to see next.
love this !!! Thank you for sharing !
Wow....thank you so much. Amazing story and congratulations for your courage back in the days! Very very well done. I think those moments remind us that we are actually living
Great video, great inspirational message. Keep up the good work, Kalle.
Loved your videos, it was so encouraging and fun.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so so much.
Great message, we all need to hear this 💙 thanks!
I don't know how you can always be so timely to me! This is just what I needed to hear for inspiration or confidence. I just got my AAS in digital design & found that I absolutely love video editing! But I went back to school at the age of 53 to get this degree. And now I really, really want to do video editing but am intimidated because of all the "young" kids and people who can do it so much better than me! Thanks for reminding me that I don't need to know everything in order to do something. It's funny that you mention using the little digicam. All my videos have been shot from my cell phone! But actually, given that fact, I think they're pretty good! 😊 thank you once again Kalle! You've always been an inspiration to me!!
Just what I needed, thank you so much again Kalle
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is so helpful.
Thank you for this wonderful advice. It really comes at such an important time for me, and I truly took your message to heart. I am a filmmaker also, just starting out and learning as I go. Your channel is such an inspiration and I am so grateful for you!
Great story. Please keep them coming! Thank you.
Thank you Donny ❤
I was waiting for this video, Thanks for uploading Kalle, you are such an inspiration!
I hope you'll like it Tahir ❤🙏
Wow... goosebumps here! Thank you for sharing, Kalle!
Thank you, love your honesty and how you put this story/video together :)
Thank you for this lovely message man!
That is so important to watch! Thank you!
Great video man, keep doing what you are doing.
Wow! What a story! Thanks for sharing and for being so honest (as ussual). You really have a true gift along with passion. You are trully amazing person Kalle!!
Thank you for your honesty - always a pleasure.
Coming from a family of very science-oriented people, I was convinced I have no artistic skills whatsoever for nearly 30 years - then last year I started dabbling in painting, drawing, illustrating and while I still feel like a complete newbie, I do find a lot of joy in doing it. However, every time my friends call something I made 'art' or say that I am an artist I quickly correct them to say I am no such thing, but after watching this video I will stop doing that and just roll with it. So thank you for the pep talk 🌲🌲🌲
Your story got me so pumped, went straight to my heart! Thank you so so much for sharing 💚💚
Love your vibe and your videos! Thank you for doing this and being so inspiring :)
Great video Kalle. Youve had some incredible highs in your filming life and also the lows. That is a real life well lived,bittersweet and beautiful at the same time.
Subscribed- look forward to seeing what the next chapter reveals for you. It is a good base to springboard back into anything you can do - music, teaching,filming,or something new!
So much inspiring, thanks so much for the help❤
Thank you for your honesty and your vulnerability 🙏💗
I like your genuine honesty and humility! Bravo 👏 I think you will make your journey much more amazing than you thought
This was very motivational! Thank you
Great advice! thanks for sharing your story!
Wow and What a story it was! Pretty amazing you are and yes inspiring...Thanks for sharing! Some very good words of advice ...
I really needed this Kalle, you motivated me to take the steps on my own filmmaking journey, I’m super grateful for you being here;)
Go for it Peter 😍👊
I agree, go for your dreams, live and be happy. Thank you for telling us this, Kalle.
A really great story and very good advice. Thank you.
this was funny, you have a very comedian side to you as well as other talents. I hear no lies here I only see a man with a talent and a pure desire to share his story. Respect!
I so enjoyed your sharing your journey & the wisdom you share!🙏🤗💖
Really an inspirational story...love it and thank you for sharing. You are so right about everything you said...if you want something you have to go out and get...no time may not feel like the right time but if you wait it will be too late...you just have to get out there and do it. Watched all your videos and each one is great ty from Canada :)
Such a fresh, raw, and open minded video. Really needed this to help cope with certain blocks of my own life. Love your work. More power to you Kalle
Thank you for your honesty and making the world clear, that there is nothing bad in being honest! Too many people (including me) try to hide themselves or pretend to be someone else than tey actually are. Yes, it is sometimes hard to see, that not everyone likes then us, but those who like us are the ones, who like us because who we really are.
"Start before you are ready" was for nee to one ofe the most touching messages. I am also the person who tries to have everything organised and prepared before I start doing something and then I and up doing nothing at all, because I am never prepared :S
Believing in yourself is not a lie.
We think that we need someone else to verify our talents before we believe it, but we don’t!!
That’s amazing that you took the leap.
People: say yes!
This is particularly inspiring and I actually just realized I had something similar happen in my career but the reality of it did not stick out so profoundly until I heard your experience.
I need to have this conversation with my son. I thank you for being so open to share this.
"Start before you're ready..." oh wow. That is the very definition of risk and trust. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this! Very inspiring!
This is just so amazingly inspiring! 👏
Love that kind of thinking! ❤️
Loved this video Kalle. You really live the advice you give, and that makes such a difference. Thank you 😊
Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say ❤️
Ohh dear Kalle! I so so needed to hear this "you should start before you're ready"! Thanks a million for sharing your perspective and authentic self, it really touches my soul. With Gratitud and much love. Laura 🤗💜🎨🌻🌱
Thank you Laura ❤
Where are all those "instructors" from "school" now; still "teaching"? Do any of them have 111K subscribers? If so, do they produce material in which people enjoy and experience true relaxation and a calming effect when watching?
As for Guitar, if anyone listens as you play but doesn't watch, can they truly say that you're "doing it wrong"? I can't read music enough to play by, and don't know a thing about music theory, but can certainly make serious music when I want to (as long as I play regularly)!
Keep doing what you enjoy doing Kalle. We will be here waiting to watch! Or listen!
Awesome story - I love it!
oh wauw i held my breath while listning to your story and got chills all over when you said they loved it..
That story gave me chills! What an amazing adventure.
Thank you for sharing this video. It was very inspiring and exactly what I needed to hear.
Start before you're ready
I think, I'm doing it now, and I have just a few people, who realises this. Because everybody is just "first you need to learn ALL about it, and theeen you should start..."
But I just keep doing what I want - of course, learning too, but also doing. It was so important for me to hear the same thought from some creator, whom I trust! Thank you, Kalle!
Thank you for sharing with words that express how you felt. Very professional of you.
Thank you for amazing story and inspiration
awesome Kalle!!! Thankyou!!!
Mesmerised by your story... I was seriously frozen, staring at the screen, listening to every word.. and now I'm crying :') Haha... thank you, Kalle. You inspire the hell out of me. I've worked as a medical assistant for years and now I'm taking the leap towards nursing. I know I probably shouldn't fake it till I make it as a nurse :') but this is still so inspiring for me, so uplifting. Thank you so, so much for sharing your stories, so honestly, Kalle. And please say hi to Christine from me! The women circle seems so wonderful... I just signed up ♡ (your video somehow inspired me to take this step too...) Love from the Netherlands!
I loved this it really reminded me that we live in a world full of people who don't know what they're doing and there's a sort of comfort in that, we worry so much about being perfect we forget that making mistakes isn't always a bad thing and sometimes it's instead necessary for success
‘Start before you are ready’ I love that, yes I have walked the same ‘footsteps’ , now after 10 years of hobby/self studying astrology I am calling myself an astrologer... half feeling what you described and surprised I’m so spot on 💫 thanks for the inspiration!
That's sooo cool 😍 Thank YOU for sharing 😊
Loved this story Kalle! Thank you so much for sharing it with us ❤️🙏
Thank you Susana 🙏❤
Awesome message for viewers Kalle!! People need to realize that you are learning as you go along with any new skill.
Thank you ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This video was incredibly meaningful to me. "Start before you're ready" really spoke to me. I'm going to retire in 3 years and my goal is to move to Sweden afterward. Due to lack of confidence, I keep thinking of how difficult it's going to be or if I can do it. Your video was a reminder to start before I'm ready (within reason) and to be brave. You really inspire me.
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏽🙂 You are a true inspiration ☀️
So inspiring!!
This was another inspiring message, I love this new series!
Thank you Charlotte ❤
Love your story!
This is probably my favorite video ever from you! Thank you!
Oh wow, thank you Chris! ❤
Another great video Kalle! Absolutely love your message - totally agree, you gotta just do it and not wait for ‘the right time’. And I’m glad I’m now the only one who doesn’t know all about cameras etc - I just ‘point and shoot’ and Hope for the best!! 😂 Hope you guys are well 😊
This set me free, Kalle. I needed this more today than ever before! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wonderful story Kalle. Just do it, 🥰 it is your authencity what makes your succes 💜
Hey... many many happy birthday kalle...🎂😍❤️
Kalle this was a great video. Very inspiring. Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊❤
Absolutely love your videos! I'm finally at a place where my life is going to change from being routine, to a being a fantastic, scary, unplanned adventure! Why did they put so much emphasis in school on so many unimportant things, life is not in a textbook! I wish I'd had the courage to be bold & brave at least ten years ago, but the important part is that the journey has finally begun! Thank YOU for sharing your journey with us, that takes bravery too. 🌸
Thank you for sharing this story! I absolutely loved it. I'm sure you can help and inspire a lot of people with this, including me :)
Oooh you made me feel some of the adrenaline you must have felt during that experience!! Very interesting story Kalle, thank you for sharing 😃 and congratulations on your courage! 💪🏻 See you in the next one 😎🙌🏻
Thank you Heidi 😍
Hi Kalle, love your videos. The opportunity given to you was because you were out there exposing yourself, that's awesome. I think you're describing the so called 'imposter syndrome' and it's quite common in the field I work in which is IT. Faking it or feeling like a fraud feels wrong and scary when you're young and inexperienced untill you find out that everyone around you is faking it and making shit up as they go, it's a learning method to become better and smarter. When I realised that it I gained much more confidence in myself.
"I don't know how" is not an excuse to not do it, but an opportunity to learn :)
Woah... I'm speechless.
I have no words as to how inspired by you!
Kalle,you are funny,such an awesome story teller.. Love your videos..Thank you for sharing.
You are such an inspiration!
Loved your story!! Made me all emotional hearing how amazing your journey for that big filming job turned out! God knew your talent before you even knew it yourself and placed you exactly where you needed to be! Thanks for sharing, it’s truly inspirational!
This brightened up my morning thank you. ☀️
So inspirational, thank you for sharing. I am often too scared taking on things where I feel like an imposter, especially when money is involved. But this video gave me a new perspective. Thank you!
