You all have biology greater than any flu you’d ever thought to be afraid of. Don’t test for Covid to “prove” a pandemic case! You are the pilot of your vehicle and trample all odds without the traps and tricks.

Whenever I see a new The Futur video like this, I click and watch it 3 times in three ways: 1st - Hear the content/conversation for the first time and spot the valuable parts 2nd - Take notes and absorb the lessons more 3rd - Find inspiration with the colors, fonts, and video elements for my own content As always, thank you Chris and the team! 😎

"The better your work, the less you have to market and sell" 8:20 Even though I'm nowhere near the peak of my career yet, I realised people started reaching out to me themselves when I put in more effort to improve my craft. This is very true!

Thank you so much for this Chris! A friend of mine just told me something similar earlier today. And you mentioning it again its an extra validation! I agree that this strategy is very good for getting extra clients (and more money) for any creative business you're into. Thanks once again!

So thankful for a channel like this!

Much needed video…I’m transitioning from Logo design to Web and I could relate to Chris’ story on pivoting. It’s an uncomfortable feeling moving from brand identity which I’m very confident in to something new but I’m willing to learn more. Thanks futur team 🙏

Just finished my second watch through this and I'm still pinching myself that we get this stuff for free. Chris, thanks so much for the value you provide.

In a world where there is a lot of Information, getting wisdom is scarce and that is what this video just give to me: Wisdom. Thank you for sharing this

You know these guys are Masters by how articulate they are.❤

These videos always bring out things in me - it's like they knw where i'm at and they're addressing me. As always. thanks to Chris and the whole futur crew

Such a great content. Much appreciation for such a clear picture and breaking down things in so simpler ways.

The only thing I don't like about videos from the Futur is that you can't binge-watch them. Each video is packed with so much value, that you have to sit down with a pen and notepad; pause, write, ponder and scheme. Best thing I've discovered in the past year.

Deep, insightful and full of value. You can only guess what the Futur'e has in store for you, but there's no doubt it will be exciting.

You can see Chris genuinely loves sharing information that helps people become better. A Legend ❤️

Chris Thank You, for all your current videos and quest. I am so happy that you're sharing the recipe to the meal. Finally, it doesn't seam as everything magically aligns for an designer.. You have to try differently things and not give up as your pitch that you were giving to other companies, and how long it takes. Thank You!

You’re very welcome.

I have definitely found it to be true that re-wording the way we approach the client about your services without asking them for the sale. I can see the anxiety in my new prospects' eyes. It looked like they wanted to say yes to whatever the ask may be. At the very least accept some good value that doesn't feel salesy. Empathetic Selling is the only way to win deals more effectively

Love you Chris, you are the one who taught me how to learn things.

Thank you Chris. You are the best.

Taking notes like craaaazy! Love your content, is inspiring, helpful and practical.

Such great timing for me, this is what I am thinking about...

The 5 C’s from Mo are powerful

I know you are 100% truthful by the simple fact that this video was awesome.

I love you guy’s relationship so much haha amazing chemistry and as always a phenomenally delivered message. Thank you!!

Loved this. The best analogy I could make of this is with food. A good restaurant the servers amazing meals don't make much effort in marketing. They just that good! People will line up to eat what they're cooking.

Wow this game i never thought I would hear Chris. From yours truly Cinnamon May.

This is a phenomenal video. Saved to favourites to watch a few more times. I want to develop “supreme confidence”. I’m coming from a place of lack and bad habits. To shake the stagnation and to start building the first blocks of confidence I feel I need to work on my body. To start feeling stronger and in shape. I’m also listening to/reading the work of Joe Dispenza to help shift mindset and perspective. From this I’m learning that negative thinking can be an addictive habit. A big takeaway from this video is actually dedicating the time to do the work. I have more to say - but I will leave it here for now. Thank you.

Amazing content as always @chris! Thanks so much.

It's so funny because this is exactly where am at. Just shift from brand identity design to UI UX design and I started brainstorming how to get my first client. Thank you for this gem

The ultimate answer to what I was looking for!!!!!

Always always every single time, I get from your videos exactly what I needed ❤. Thanks & Regards, Tanu

11:52 this is PERFECT! I know it isn't to be used word by word, but it definitely sets some guidelines on how to escape the "how much for XYZ job?" talk that clients usually start with. In short, thank you :)

Damn Chris such a great video man, I'm a big fan. I did pause the video to reach out to a more experient designer to do what Mo did. I'm already a student from the Accelerator and going to be part of the pro group. Cheers!!

This was very informative Chris. Thank you

Love it! Act in faith toward the vision that you see

If only KZread had the feature of liking a video couple times because this is so helpful. Thank you Chris and the crew.

Doing the work is important, yet it's also important to visualize your desired result with a focus of what emotions you'd feel when that happens along with your vision.

My partner said the person who we spoke to was not the person who makes the decision whether they take us on or not. How do we communicate to someone who isn't the contract "decider"?

What about the organizational side of it (Processes, workflows, SOP's, etc.) is it necessary that at a certain point you had to hire an independent consultant or a consulting firm ?

What video is this from 5:12

I think confidence comes from self awareness, if u r self aware then u realise ur strengths and weaknesses, u work on them, u hone them. Afterall rome isn't built in a day.

Everything I heard here makes sense. I'm pushing 60 years old, and have to come to terms that I f*cked off too much, got sidetracked, and didn't put in the work I needed to do to push myself to the level I wanted to be at. Then depression set in for 10 years from my mid 40's to my 50's after a disastrous divorce, had to settle for menial production jobs to Keep a roof over my head. After being bored to death at my last job, I finally told myself I'm going to get back into my first love, illustration. I'd get off at work at 3pm, take a quick 15 min nap then work on my illustration till I couldn't keep my eyes open. Then Covid hit, lost my job and had to do manual labor and small graphic design jobs to keep a roof over my head. Virtually unhireable by bigger companies because I came from a print background and I got caught with my pants down and didn't keep up on the trends, so here I am still freelancing, doing odd jobs, and barely keeping a roof over my head only by the grace of God. Watching videos like yours, jumping from one kind of graphic design job to the other. Web site here, social media for my only steady client, and I can't get enough work in one area to get really good at any of them. Not enough time or money to just focus on one thing and get really good at it. I started a social media page on FB called Siesta Key Music Scene just to practice at social media and I love live music and with what little downtime I have, I'd go out the key and hear some great music. It's starting to grow a bit. Haven't been at it very long but some national bands are starting to notice. Been shooting vids of the music, and editing as best I can in very little time promoting the local bands for nothing with shitty equipment, but I'm becoming exhausted and have to pull away just to work at cabinet painting, or something else similar just to keep the roof over my head. So here I am finally with the drive but with one foot out the door onto the streets. So maybe if anything, this will be a lesson to some younger people. Don't waste your youth... But I am listening, Chris. By all means use me as a negative example, lol. Everything you're saying is true. Maybe I need to start stalking you and others, till I drop dead or become homeless... Believe it or not, there's a certain amount of freedom at this point... It's do or die... By no means is this a sob story... I hope people look at this and see what you're saying is true. I did everything wrong. Work hard early on or you're gonna work really hard in the end...

hi, im just starting as freelancer and im not getting any client but because i dont know how to do it. I just spend my days on fiver and upwork

Something I don’t learn from my college

Guys, you’re wrong ………. People are neurologically wired to see the future more positive than it actually is. Committing means the risk of failure in the future. This provoces subconsious anxiety. For the brain it is more save to remain in the realm of positive future dreams than actually introducing the risk of future failure. Thanks for all the business advise!
