Welcome to this episode of the Ikigaia podcast!

Have you ever found yourself in a career path that doesn't fulfill your dreams? Have you ever wondered how you can start working online even when you have zero experience in the field?

Today I'm having a conversation with Darius Lukas, a digital nomad from Lithuania who has run and grown his digital business profitably for more than 4 years from all over the world.

Darius is a theatre director by trade. He graduated from one of the most prestigious drama schools in the English-speaking world back in 2012 and started directing his own shows the same year.

His entrepreneurial journey hasn't been a traditional one. He started teaching English in person while living in London as a way to generate some extra income.

After realizing the potential in this business and building a solid customer base, he decided it was time to take it to the next level and transitioned it to the online space.

But he didn't stop there. What started as a modest side hustle with just a handful of students kept growing to such an extent, that Darius decided to create a membership site which now facilitates English lessons to over a thousand students.

While the entrepreneur's initial intention wasn't to become a digital nomad, his dream of achieving professional freedom led him to move to Asia where he now also works on his second project - School of Growth Writing - a program that teaches brand storytelling & journaling methods to other entrepreneurs.

Things you will learn in this episode:

• How to capitalize on the skills you already have and start making money.
• What are the first steps to start working remotely.
• How to build a customer base and scale your online business.
• How a membership site will help you work smarter and leverage your time.
• How to stay focused on meeting your business and career goals.
