Best thing i've done this year, was finding out this channel. Really insipiring and educating project, i'm changing my mindset about design and business, thank you guys! Thanks very much for sharing an amazing content!
"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with" is a great quote I never heard before, so thanks for that. Although I suppose it is meant in a private as well as professional way it perfectly sums up a concept I have heard several times (maybe also on your chanel): Surround yourself with people that inspire you, build up a network to boost yourself and your work.

Thank you for these seminars! It's the best thing on You Tube! I have watched so many lectures and seminar by Futur and I love listening to Chris Do. Everything he says is so important and valuable to me as a graphic designer! I must say I am a fan of Chris Do since I discoverd all the Futur videos...he is a remarkable speaker, a very skilled and an outstanding professional. Chris Do...you are my guru! I watch every single video there is on You Tube! Your input is gold! Congratulations!
"That's what makes them successful entrepreneurs, they always want to do better" - GREAT QUOTE
I found your channel early January this year and am grateful I did...am an upcoming self taught designer with no formal design education. But you guys have really helped me a lot. Thanks so much.
i love how all of your talks are relatable to any kind of business and not just design business. thanks man. keep it up.
Thank you Chris & the team behind The Process for all your work. Sharing these courses for free is true gold. There are plenty out here who lack the experience or learned business aspects the wrong way. You're here to fix that. Please keep posting value.

I've been told that a lot. "Why do you have to be the best at everything. Get over yourself." I'm not trying to be the best. I'm trying to be my best - But I won't know what that is unless I push myself. It's always in regards to either my art, or exercising. I think I need to stay fit to keep my mood up. It balances art which can be very draining. Movement is also very creative.
Well done! Really looking forward to the next parts!

Coming soon.
I’m 28 and did costume design till recently when I realized it’s not working out right here and I’ve been in existential crisis for 3 years. I also do illustration and people started to tell me how I would be so great at graphic design. And it took time to hit me that I did wanted to do graphic design but I didn’t get in when I was younger. I saved money , quit all the costume projects and got a regular shitty job so I can support myself while I finish graphic design, and signed up for graphic design course to learn all the Adobe programs and the basic of graphic design. As I already went to art high school so I have most of the basics and a sense for design. I am soon going to finish the course, it’s a 4 month program and it has been stressful and hard working a full time job and after job rush to the course. I will be starting a portfolio soon, took vacation at the job to finish the course and start a portfolio and hopefully score jobs after. I’ve been binge listening to your videos for last month in traffic wile going to work or studying for exams. My family doesn’t support me really in this path. My grandma is mad at me, when she found out I got into art high school she was crying. They are all looking at me from the side and feels like they all gave up. When it goes downhill I feel like they just like to point finger and say I told you so. That thought me to be my own supporter. Your videos has helped me so much! It opened my eyes to so many things. Thank you! I’ll fill you up in few months when I land a job to thank you again!

Chris, i really don't know you are good at design or not ! But the thing I know you are really a Born Businessman, who know how to influence someone with talks, i tried your Design Business hacks & i am really succeeded by using them. I am freelance graphic designer from india, Design industry is kinda really competitive in nowadays because of Ai solutions (Canva, logomakers etc.) , people are paying really less because of freelance websites. But i think, we need to stand out of that shit making crowd of designers, by presenting the quality work for reasonable pricing. I am working for a creative agency in UK, they really love my eye for design, but i love the way you present your skills.

If you find yourself at a networking session, such as the one in Burbank, why not set up an introductory session for everyone there? 15/20 Minutes of talking that could allow for everyone attending to have an opportunity to present themselves and what they do, hand out business cards, etc... that way, there's still a genuine intention to connect and hear everybody's story and at the same time, the opportunity to generate a genuine connection as well as a business connection.

Thanks, for this video. I want to know more about lead generation. But I think, it's not good example of reciprocity with monks. If monks will do with me the same think at least once, I will never take his flower or book. It's example teach us to reject all opportunities. But, if you want truly to help clients, you can give it away without any expectations. If you will wait for something back, you will disappointment about this new networking. The main goal of networking claim about yourself as expert, connector, designer, business builder and a good man, that you are passionate about clients’ needs and your services. I like this lecture, but example with monks, In my opinion it’s not suitable for this situation in the video. I'm waiting your next video :)

Re: Networking I don’t think Networking is something that you can just walk into a room full of strangers and expect for it to be effective. Networking at events can be effective, but they need to be industry specific or adjacent industry events. Never go into it trying to sell, but just to meet people and build relationships and help them if possible, not with a selling addenda. When people are aware of what you do and you have a good reputation, when someone now has a need for your services you will already be in their mind. Likewise they will be happy to pass on a recommendation to prospective clients. Word of mouth is the most trusted and powerful marketing you can have.
Chris i fuckin love you, my mentor ❤️

"We all the same but ain't no two of us alike " - Zack Hemsey. Teaching of a ronin Putting the previous quote aside. For me, that phrase is just a way of life. reminding yourself all the time of the one fact that everyone likes to forget which is your mortality makes you realize that your time is limited and that you can die without realizing your dreams. It reminds you that shit happens and knowing that can intimidate you but it can set you free. It can drive to work better to the last breath and to not waste a lot of your time just doing nothing. Thinking that this day might be your last makes you sort things out and reset your priorities as if someone told you this is the last 24 hours for you on earth, you should live them fully on whatever you think is important for you not for anyone else. As I begin with a quote I'll end it with a quote “Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death." -Leonardo DA Vinci

If you guys can add to the principles on these lectures it will be just great. I'd like to hear your perspective on that topic. Especially on the point of practicing like how you practice typography and how to get feedback or how to measure your progress. I'm really looking forward to that video if you found that it's a worthy idea.
