[@PeterLindgren1]

It has been such a wild ride that i'm still having a hard time to believe. I'm grateful for each and every one of you that tunes in whenever i post a vide, a photo or whatever media it might be. So again, thank you. Let's keep going shall we?

[@igor.lacerda]

Indeed, we will! 💪

[@DorikFilmography]

[@ayoubsabri4461]

That was really inspiring, thank u peter for the good content🤞🏻

[@NeshasVibes]

Thank you for sharing this :) It's really encouraging✨

[@ValiGreceanu]

Without work you do not succeed in any field, this is the secret in youtube, to post regularly and work hard. 😎👍

[@TacticalToolbox]

You got this man! I quit my day job when I only had 1200 subs. It was a sink or swim decision.

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

That’s rad, man! All in! Best of luck! I’m slowly trying to grow my small channel, just hit 500 subs! Woohoo! I’ll go and check out your channel!

[@1underwoman]

That's some real confidence right there, good luck 😉

[@morningcoach]

Thats so awesome, I am blessed as I do podcasting and built a business from 2005 and left my job. Lost my house and everything but best decision EVER!!!! I have been free since then. GO FOR IT!

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

Man, I’d say it was worth the risk! Congrats, your channel is huge and looks like it’s doing well! 💪

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

@@morningcoach that’s great! I’ll head over and check your channel out too! That’s gotta feel good to persevere and now be doing well!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

As a university professor forced to transition to video as my primary teaching medium during the pandemic, your videos have been both helpful and inspiring. I’m still barely scratching the surface with video but my students have benefitted greatly from improved lecture sound, lighting, and editing techniques I learned from you. You’re influencing people in more than just the videography world mate. Congrats on (almost) 400k subs!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

2 Things: You were super jacked back at the beginning haha! Part 2, I have 16,000 subscribers with a growth of around 3k per month right now. I've been wondering when I could go "full time"... thats the dream. But it's scary with supporting my 3 kids and family. Nice work man. Enjoying watching your journey.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Peter... very well deserved. You should be very proud.. huge congratulations

[@DavidKringlund]

Not a question mark for anyone watching your content Peter! I’m quite sure this is just the beginning 👌🏻🎥

[@TrendingReviews]

I've followed you from 1000 Subscribers - its UNREAL how you got so big so quick, but you're videos are amazing and I can see why! Well done for getting there buddy. I aspire to get to that level myself - I'm trying my best!

[@NiraSuarez]

Yaaaaay! We love you! 😋 Thank you for the inspiration, I hear you!!! Big hug from a Spanish dancer living in India! 🌟

[@thaticelandicguy]

My man! So happy for you this journey is so inspiring!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks dude! Looking forward to follow yours 👊

[@timtense]

Well deserved! I'm pretty much in that position right now. I'm making about 40 bucks from KZbin and I'm trying to grow my freelance business so I could quit my job that I'm bored of. Hopefully in 2021 I can take that step. Thanks for the motivation!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Inspiring Peter! So proud of you man.

[@CameronCooper]

Hey Peter, I have been watching you for a little while now and I wanted to say a massive thank you for your videos, and please do not stop doing what you're doing. Your content is so inspiring and I always look forward to seeing more from you. It also really cool you play guitar too! You're a really informative and entertaining guy and really glad I found your channel this year. Take care, Cam

[@DetroitFury]

Just went full time on KZbin myself!!! Been here since 50k subs! Proud of you Brother don’t stop💯💪🏼

[@SizarReviews]

what a great journey, it took me 4 years to reach 400k , and I proved them wrong that I can do it :)

[@patrikmarcan]

I love how you gf/wife was down for you to try it, and give it all, she believed in you and helped you as much as she could...that's a keeper for sure! Cause I know some people don't like being filmed and all that, but will do anything for theirs lover dream :)

[@Aylafamily]

Well said, Peter. best of Luck 💪💪

[@MatteoTorrisiOfficinaDelPilota]

i love the message of this video Peter. THANKYOU

[@Tech4Baba]

So glad you decided to share your talents with us, Peter! Very inspired by your story. Keep up the great work!

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thanks Peter, I needed this. I'm at where you were right now. "Prove them wrong" - I literally got chills. I can't quit yet, but will go down to 80% to start with. Thanks again, Simon. 👍🙂

[@raulgolfs]

Amazing story brotha. Keep crushing it bud! Appreciate your hard work. Helps me out a ton!

[@AlexSerlof]

I remember seeing one of your videos at 10k subscribers and literally thinking. I think we should give up, this niche is over saturated. I gave up and you didn’t you kept at it! And here We are. 400k! Congratulations and best to your family! I should keep at it and follow in your footsteps. Lol

[@MateusRapini]

Always good to hear these stories! Thanks man!

[@SiHargreaves]

Amazing Peter, you're my new inspiration! Last time I commented on one of your vids I was at 1000 subs, now I'm nearly at 2000! My brother has been doubting me a little. I'm going to prove him wrong!

[@JonBear]

Hard work beats everything! You're a warrior and you are unstoppable! Thanks for sharing the journey Peter!

[@ClayWong]

Inspirational work Peter! I’ve followed you on your journey and it has filled my desire to create content too. Keep up the great work🔥

[@3wayTheory]

Congrats on your success. Learning a lot from your channel here in Finland. Keep on going and you're hitting half a mil soon! 😮

[@ExploreCreateCapture]

Brilliant inspiration bro hopefully I’ll get there one day😊🙌

[@OmarAfuni]

Well deserved! The thing I love about you is that you’re so likable. Watching you feels like watching a friend. Keep up the great work, Peter!

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Congrats on 400k Peter! I love hearing stories like this. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@kontraviatravels6761]

Thanks for this video Peter. I really needed it. I started my youtube channel a year ago in the middle of a dilemma. Follow my dreams of being a freelancer or continuing to work for someone else and help her make hers come true. With the birth of my daughter, I decided to use an old camera that I had and my cell phone and I began to record and create content. I decided to take a risk and despite feeling fear, anxiety and at times depression. I think it was the best decision. Doing this has made me very happy. Feeling that I can share a talent with the world is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. And although my channel still does not reach 1000 subscribers and is not monetized. I know I am on the right track and thanks to you I confirm it. Although there are people who do not believe in me and tell me that I cannot, I know that I am going to show them that I can achieve it. Greetings from Bogota - Colombia.

[@awol787]

I found your channel by chance back when you had around 10k subscribers and it’s amazing to see how much your channel has grown and how you’ve developed as a content creator. I see a lot of comments of people deeply relating to your story, myself included, and I think I can speak for a lot of your followers when I say that you are an inspiration. Your words were a fire lit under our asses which is sometimes exactly what we all need. Thank you Peter!

[@NasQBBQ]

Thanks for this video Peter! I'm currently at 3000 subs, about BBQ, but in Dutch and really can relate to your story. Prove them wrong! Great ending! Keep up the great work!

[@JustShootLight]

I’m working on it! I’ve turned off the visibility of the sub count though, because I am trying to not focus on the number, but rather the content I am creating. I want to remember it is JUST a number, and I am doing this for ME. Each video I create, I want it to be because I wanted to make it. I’m currently around 150 subscribers, but some of my videos have gotten an INSANE number of views (For me) like around 5k+. Each day is a challenge, but, I’m working on it all. I shoot on a drone, a Canon 6D, an IPhone, and a GoPro. I own a multimedia Production company. This week we did a music video, 2 weeks ago I had another music video, and last week was a promo video for a cigar shop.

[@morningcoach]

This is so awesome you are helping us other KZbinrs with your content you rock, I am just hitting 10K This weekend :) Such a journey!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Congratulations. Really enjoy your style sir. Keep it up!

[@bamdejcommunication]

King Peter 🇸🇪 With love from Cph, Denmark 🇩🇰 Of course you did it. Here is to another 400.000 🥂

[@VERTMEDIA]

All the BEST Peter. You are one of those guys from YT that pushed me to step forward... Thanks and high five!

[@BackHomePablo]

I have been following since 2018 and I have to say you deserve it!

[@craighardingrealtor5703]

[@ishootchampions8435]

[@ss14s]

So happy for you, 1 Million subscribers coming soooon. Congratulations it's great effort . 🇰🇼 My country flag 🥰.

[@laciko12]

Now that i know some details of your personal story i'm even more impressed. That poker B-roll was epic and there is just something about your presence that is cinematic. You are big dude with a pleasent soothing voice. Keep it up, and keep inspiring us

[@MavicHeroFilms]

Very motivational Peter! It's always good to hear when someone makes it past the mountain. I have slowly but surely grown my KZbin channel and now I'm almost at 500. Every video is practice

[@shafayetjefreey7867]

A subscriber and follower from Bangladesh, and i know many of my friends from this part of the world love your work. Love and Blessing for you, may you grow more and more 👍🏻

[@jimvh7557]

Your such an honest, hard working and inspiring guy that deserves all the credit he can get. The sky is the limit Peter, go for it!!!

[@raulgolfs]

Ha your son and I have the same birthday!! Adorable little guy.

[@TommyCallaway]

You're killing it dude. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@tuabenjamin]

Poker B roll brought me to the channel. Your authenticity kept me here. Congrats Peter, well deserved. Keep inspiring!

[@imsupahdave]

I'm just glad I'm part of the 400K subs. Congrats, Peter! Here's to 1M! 🍻 And that last part (9:20) is so encouraging. Thanks for reminding me that!

[@derrekord]

Appreciate this video, and YOU so much Peter! You have our support going forward too.

[@duurjoogto8338]

[@sirajulalam8610]

Been following Peter since the PIZZA VIDEO. It's been a really good journey with ... and CONGRATULATIONS on 400k... 1M soon

[@mahmoudnakib]

Because you're different, I've been here since 1000 subscribers and you really good an inspiring me to work on my youtube channel. Thank you and keep it up❤️

[@kevin.z9250]

Hey man, your such an inspiration for me. I'm currently studying at a highly academic high school and the expectations for me are so high that I can barely fit in any time for photography or videography. Yesterday, I just got a surgery on my right arm and now I can't even hold a camera. I thought I was in such a hard situation until I set eyes on your channel today. Man I just gotta say thank you for sharing your thoughts, you've truly lifted my spirits. I have huge respect for you, man, thank you so much!!

[@mayufitcook]

I really really impressed. You gave me power so much through this. It is really hard for me to keep posting videos. Now I got a power canto go back to shoot again :) thank you so much.

[@MarioSoMedia]

Thanks for all you have taught us on this channel! Your growth is more than well deserved!

[@jojoboban]

Saw this video right now and you gave me so much positive energy man! I recently decided to quit my job and move from Croatia with my wife and my son. Don't know what's going to be with me, but I'm so tired of negativity here in Croatia. I'm going to try to be a freelance videographer somewhere in Europe. I'm so affraid but you gave me so much strenght through your videos. Thank you so much man and keep posting good content and keep spreading that positive vibe you have!

[@TeamBryGuy]

Glad to be a part of your growth! Congrats and keep it up!

[@jockneyranger]

Its a pleasure to watch you grow dude. Anyone with your desire to succeed and willingness to share and learn deserves all the good that comes to you. I remember 4K, congrats on 400K and here's to 4M. 👍🏼

[@BuildMontage]

Its insane man - but so well deserved. Love your channel - huge inspiration to us small creators.

[@ivenmastin8858]

IM SO freaking proud! I discovered you when you had like 3500 subs! And from there to now ( in really short period of rime ) i thing you deserve it more than anyone!

[@David.Mester]

Congratulations! I'm so glad for you! I found myself in your story and I realized that I started the same as you, only that my path is longer ✌️ Success in everything you do!

[@Ryansacrobat]

Youve done great man! Im glad to see hard work pay off for some of us. On to 1M!!

[@alexandruturlea]

OMG! This video! I have been on KZbin. Making videos, editing, photography and creating composition since 2011. I have loads of experience. But somehow I keep doubting myself. You have really made me feel more secure within myself and the idea of getting a studio has been in my mind for a while and I cannot just only work for others. But possibly be a freelancer and just do it and keep learning. Because it feels to me like you have learned everything yourself and created a business around it. OMG thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤

[@ryanbisel4714]

No one more deserving, congrats on all the success!! Keep killing the game man

[@HobbyistLifestyle]

Great words! Love the ending! It is how I been feeling too! It is the reason why I started doing this channel. Mostly because I enjoy editing and filming. It's a lot of work, but it is a lot more fun than my daytime job.

[@beezermedia]

I remember being here from pre-poker b-roll. Been awesome watching your channel grow, and I'm inspired by your leap of faith!

[@Brian-ud6uj]

Congrats on all of your successes! You are so right, PROVE THEM WRONG. I went from little jobs here and there while working at least one other full time job, to now, I run 2 channels here, create guest content for another channel, and create content for clients across the globe. You just have to have the drive and determination to keep going; and learn from your mistakes. Anything is possible if you put in the effort. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see you hit 1,000,000 subscribers, you deserve it!!

[@StraightLine_MTB]

You're awesome brother. You are a big reason I started my channel and I appreciate all the work you do for others. So happy to see your success!

[@ljocchino]

Congratulations Peter from Sweden!! 👏 THANK YOU for sharing your story. Wishing you continued success in the years ahead! 🍻

[@TypicalSwede]

Thank you Peter! This was really inspiring and motivating as i just have finally started my journey here on KZbin after being a dreamer for so long! I can relate to the negativity at work and i really want to do something for myself, not for the money but freedom and health!

[@DustinHarrelson]

It gets me so hype to see your journey and progress man. Congrats on 400k, you worked hard and earned it!

[@hugmedianews6371]

Sending you much love from South Africa brother! You are a great guy deserved of great things!

[@RydenDirty]

Thank you. For the reality of youtube life. This video inspired me so much. This made me want to do better at my craft. Sincerely this is exactly what I needed to keep me on the right track. Oh and congratulations on your success so far. I look forward to seeing this channel at 1,000,000👍

[@theTechNotice]

Just well done! I can relate to the journey! :)

[@scottsimnz]

Loved this video man. You’ve been doing incredible things. I loved the hammer down comment at the end. Well deserved!

[@frederikmitk]

Peter, you just rock. I‘ve learned a lot from you and I‘m very grateful for every video you made and will make. You are just such a fine person and yes, it feels a little but odd to say this without ever meeting you, but maybe this will change some day. Keep on rockin‘!

[@NãoSouBarista]

You inspired me, man! Congratulations to your growth!💪🏼

[@jprat2163]

I’v been here with you since around 1k subs.Congrats bro!

[@suparnaaofficial]

This was so inspiring peter, I am just 10-12 subscribers right now. Your video gave me the motivation to be regular and follow my passion. Thanks a lot!

[@catalincalota5576]

Thank you for everything Peter!

[@TheSangjy]

Yeah I remember when we you growing. It was fun Mr. Peter. Thank you for inspiring .

[@andewkltcz]

Thank you Peter. I will keep pushing it hard.

[@byRobertEklund]

Congratulations on the 400K! 🎂 You deserve them and I’m sure more will come, keep up the great work!

[@MTBTrailRider]

Congratulations Peter on accomplishing so much. I love the drive and the determination. I have 6,100+ subscribers on my mountain biking focused channel and I need to do better with being intentional in my video edits to make it more entertaining and thats how i found your channel. Trying to practice and getting more "pro-like" shots for my videos takes a lot of time but it's fun. I have a similar mindset to you in trying to get out of the day job (even if it is a good position that pays well) to be more present with your family and children. I appreciate your success and what you've accomplished. Cheers from Tennessee, USA.

[@theidahohuskies]

Bro so proud of you and inspired by your journey. And that ending... DANG BOY LET'S GET IT!
