Great video Brent. I just made the transition from employer to full-time freelancing and loving it! Just subscribe to your channel!

This video just earned one more subscription in me. Great content sir!

hey Brent, happy New Year to you. I believe your video just hit me at the right exact time of my life. I've been struggling with a lot of those areas as well. been having trouble freelancing. I know my identity and I resonate with everything you say about spending time elsewhere. I believe I have an audience and I am in the eyes of the right people. however I may be having trouble with the process slowly but surely I am finding my calling. thank you so much for sharing and thank you for your advice

Thanks for sharing your experiences Brent! I just watched 10 of your videos and it really helped get me in the right mindset. I recently quit a corporate job to go full-time freelance. I loved the idea and redesigned my website but wasn't sure where to start after that. I was just about to hunt on Upwork but saw your other video about those sites, and am so glad I did! Looking forward to more videos. Thanks! 👍

Great video for inspiration ! thank you :)

Very useful... Thank you for the video.

Hi thanks you so much for the video. and i am the junior of freelance graphic design. love your sharing and ya, make thing happen.

Thanks for sharing your story. Your videos have inspired me to give KZfaq a shot

This video is definitely older but is definitely timeless in the information it contains. I saved this video because it was so great even if the information is short; it’s very valuable. Watched it again today and I needed this so much, just to hear the simple steps I need to take. I quit my media production job that was so so to move to california on not a huge amount of money; to freelance/look for good work opportunities if they present themselves. I do decently (I feel anyway), graphic design, photography, video production, motion graphics, wordpress design. But doing all those things at my last multi-disciplinary job I feel like was a blessing and a challenge since I was all over the place. I have gotten stuck the last month in the mindset of just trying to do anything I can get and everything to make money just to keep life rolling; but seeing your video and hearing the information I already have heard and thought before; I think was expressed in your video in a manner that really banged me on the head of why I’m not getting anywhere really. Man, thanks so much for this video. I can just feel it that doing these steps to a T; will help me to start getting work and good work at that. Do you or anyone else reading recommend or discourage any freelance sites like upwork? Do you guys recommend any other sites similar or relative for getting work/ jobs?

You've changed so much~ Also, very good videography ^^

Thank you for this Video! Like it!

I’ve just seriously started to look at my Freelance Graphic Design business. I’ve picked up a few local jobs, designing logos and branding. It’s time for me to step back and figure out who I am, what I do and who for. I’m going to follow this whole series and I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

Thanks a lot for this video😇

Thanks a lot you inspired me very much... thumbs up

Thank you! Life Saver

This is wonderful bud!

Hey Brent. Just found your video on KZfaq. I guess it was a suggestion from them. Very cool video and story. You have calm cool nice guy thing going on. Reminds me of myself. I've been out of graphic design game a while, but It has never left my heart. When I did not have a computer, I used a pencil doing concept for myself and future projects or friends business. This video was great I'm starting over today and trying get back into the swinng of things. Look forward on learning more and eventually get my own freelancing going on.

Hey Brent! I want to say how much I enjoy this video. I'm looking to start a freelance business as a 3d artist focusing on product development and some animation as well. My question to you is that did you have a battle with yourself about which pieces to use in your portfolio and what ways do you recommend for marketing yourself?

Excellent advice Brent

Great advice! I'm trying to do some freelance work as a side job while studying and it was really useful :)

Thank you for this video

Hi Brent, I just come across this while designing my logo, I would say this is very motivational and very clear presentation.I wish you could share about marketing the skill.Thanks

I remember watching this video back in high school, and thinking about the routes I could take if I became a graphic designer. Since I’ve graduated and gotten my degree since last year, it’s been tough, hopping from job to job, and I thought I found my big break, but it turned out the people turned me down, which is a big mistake on their part. I’m subject to change, and I’m more than willing to learn what I’ve done wrong throughout the whole interview, but as I grow and become a big graphic designer in the meantime, find a job that fits with me, and not only that, but make an income, if not multiple, while also having the passion to do what I love, in the end of the day, looking at this video resonates with me so much that, In the end of the day all I can really say is thank you. Thank you after 7 years, because without this video, I wouldn’t be reminding myself to push myself to do what I love to in the first place for years at this point. I have all the resources there, but haven’t pushed myself to do what I’ve been meaning to do.

Thank you Brett for this awesome video. Its 2am here in Melbounre, Australia at the moment that i came across your videos. You pointed exactly what i was looking for to be freelancer and defining my business to customers. I run a business from called Shaie Designs, i post my work here and there my Facebook and Instagram pages, but buiness isnt that great to be honest. I hope to open a studio sometime in the next a year or two, but before i do that, i have to first identity what i enjoy doing and not doing all sorts of designs to scrap by as you mentioned. And i think, thats my mistake, trying to take onboard jobs just for the money. I have a brand identity and my name is out there in the community, but i want to acheive more so my income well, business doing great and cliental that brings in 80% of new customers. Thanks once again for this great video, as i can related to what you have mentioned. Thanks mate :)

Thanks Brent...its inspiring

Inspirational dude 👏🏼

Great motivational quote at the end

Very helpful video.

thank you very much from France !!!

thank you for sharing

You are brilliant!

Great video, thank you! I've been working for a design company for 3 years, ive decided to do a bit of freelancing in between. I am only doing projects for friends and family at the moment. How can I get more clients and build up a relationship with them?

Great video

I am looking to do freelance graphic design along with blogging, so this is really useful.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I wonder wether graphic designing is gonna stay as actual as today?

i am really fascinated about graphic design because i want to create my own job knowing that job opportunity in my country is very difficult. my fear is age, i am 40 years of age and thinking how am i going to start a new discipline. i need your advise

That's really inspiring buddy, thanks. I have a very decent portfolio, but I just can't get clients because I don't know how to market myself. I want to focus on logo design.

0:06 i got the work from home part right, the "do something that i enjoy" part is coming soon

I study software engineering but I don't enjoy at all , this semester I've taken an art class as an elective class and i really enjoyed it and i did very well and my professor liked what i did , i have a small experience about designing since i was a kid and Ive sold some of my work. But the problem is how do I start as graphic designer , i still have the fear of failing, what should i do ?

Nice video i want to start as a freelance designer too :D subscribed by the way

Thanks for your reply

Hi Brent! I found your video when I was doing a little bit of research and I'm really grateful for all your great info! I'm looking into building my brand as a graphic designer + copywriter. I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind, maybe on email?

thanks for video

Thank you

Im 63 going on 64, I’m pretty advanced using the Wix free edition, I do not sketch or design logos on paper, and the idea of becoming a freelancer looked interesting, where do I go from here with a business model and lack funds to design my brand stationary?.

Thank you.

I'm stuck at an Office supply store FULL TIME (Print Supervisor, so I make what I need). I'm pregnant so risk are not a thing right now. I really don't want to be there but my new family needs to eat and stuff... I went to a community college for graphic design but wasn't focused. It's been a year, how do I get focused now??

Hey Brent, Thanks a lot for the great video. I want to know about the way we can put our work in the right people. I don't have such knowledge or experience on that could you please help me with that.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm trying to get back on track with creativity but I seem to get creative blocks all the time. I just can't get into a creative mindframe anymore but I know that my path is definately creativity and design, but I seem to be stressing out about it. Is there a certain technique or method that you use to break through to be more creative? Sorry if this sounds a bit vague!

Hello BRENT. I liked your video. But I need a piece of advice. Would you please tell me wich website is better for graphic designing? And of course tell which software you mostly used for doing your job. THANK YOU

what gcse's should i choose or need to become a free lance graphic designer?

First of thanks for a great video man. Very inspirational. My question for those of u who are full-time freelance graphic designers or digital nomads. How do you get your the clients? What are your strategies?

Very cool video.

hi, yeah your story really gave me a push walk forward with the work what i am doing, but i have one question! i am video designer i had many ideas of creativity but now can feel and can see that my creative ideas are losing why is the happening actually nothing comes to mind when i am working.

where can I start learning Graphic Design ?

Nice video Brent! I just kind of stumbled upon it spontaneously. I do have one question though, I am very interested in becoming a graphic designer. I am close to my 30´s and have a full time job and have no idea where to start. any piece of advice? school is not an option at this point.

Thanks so much Brent for sharing knowledge and i respect you.but i am a graphic designer and i have worked a lot of artworks but I had not changed my life and my p profit so can you help me, how can make rich my self through the graphic designer?it may be the case of no changing in my life, since my country has no focus in Graphic Designer and Branding issue even the college is in certificate course for graphic Designing was give in 3-66 months of period.i need your reply!!

Great job on the video! Question: can you recommend an online graphic design program that isn't overpriced? I am looking to make a career transition from the event industry to no-code design or UI. I thought graphic design certification would be a good place to start.
