It's nice to see someone actually creating useful content instead of copying other video concepts and regurgitating information.

I have a huge amount of respect for implementing this approach in the "art job". After leaving my corporate job to become a full-time film/media composer and music supervisor, I can also relate to those principles, because the job is "THE JOB". "The illusion of freedom" of working in the art industry slaps you when even great projects become the same routine. Thanks for the great content, it`s so rare to find a good KZfaq video without wishy-washy stuff nowadays. Great directors don't gatekeep! 💯💯💯

You got the right mindset for sure man, as a fellow KZfaq-Filmmaker I can really relate

Absolutely loved this video, I just finished reading Kiyosaki's book and have to admit it was a real eye opener for me, I really appreciated how you took it and applied it specifically to filmmaking. I started seeing a difference just in this past year when I started treating my filmmaking career like a business and stopped freelancing, and started an actual production company. Still in it's early stages, but it's videos like this, and people like yourself that inspire me to keep pursuing and not to quit. Really enjoy watching your stuff man, keep up the good content. This is the kind of information the filmmaking community really needs. :) Much love from California! 😁

I couldn't agree more with the approach and advice you're instilling in your content. I think creatives miss the largest earning opportunities due to a lack of understanding and skill in conducting business. Most of us start because we love the craft or the freedom, or both. But if we don't align ourselves with seeing projects through the eyes of our ideal clients and what they're needing to achieve or grow as a result of our expertise and delivery, we won't charge enough, we won't win as many large impactful projects, and therefore unintentionally "validate" the outdated idea that working as a creative professional is very difficult to earn a substantial living. When I started approaching both inbound projects and RFPs with a business-first mindset, I earned a lot more income and was trusted with larger projects by usually easier to work with clients. Obviously more relevant if you are looking to own a studio or agency, but I think freelancers still benefit heavily by educating themselves in business as much as they do improving in their creative crafts. Great content - keep up the amazing work.

Your content is amazing - you are the only KZfaq account I've found talking about the business side of being a commercial director and winning pitches. Thank you so much!

I really appreciate your advice, this is what we upcoming filmmakers take for granted

Wtf dude! This video is a literal gold mine. I have been thinking about so many aspects of financial freedom in this industry recently. I just sold a bunch of my gear for liability reasons and I feel great about it - I encourage other DP’s to do the same. Look at what you have that isn’t being rented and get rid of it ASAP. I hope to grow my KZfaq channel this year as well. My schedule freelancing has been a bit of a nightmare but this is something that I’d love to move to the top of my priority list. Cheers!

love your videos and your work!

Great vid. I wish I watched this type of videos when I was younger

Really nice to hear that you also have your ups and downs as a freelancer. It's easy to feel just 'unemployed' when work is slow. Thanks for the advice Nur!

Thanks for sharing all of your insights! Your channel is jam packed full of knowledge and I appreciate you for not gatekeeping and serving up the secret sauce! ✨

Thank you for your insight! Love the Treatment template!

This was fantastic, much appreciated!

Highly appreciate this well thought out and digestable/practical information- a breath of fresh air compared to the recycled and algorithmic business/creative content the big channels like to pump out. You're leaving an honest and highly respectable legacy with this calibre of content. Many thanks.

Thanks for this Nur, More of this please

New fan here. This was my 2nd video of yours I've watched and I'm loving every second.

Thank you for sharing!

Awesome video! So fresh in such a saturate youtube market. Definitely going to check out your getting signed book, something I've been building towards

Great video man! Stoked to see your growth

Great, thoughtful video. Thank you.

Excellent video man. Full of good stuff.

This is great information, Thank you!

You’re a legend for these templates!

The best video for filmmakers 👏👏👏

Incredible as always, Nur. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Love this new approach

Thanks for this video, I had this in my watch later for like 2 weeks. I’m glad I watched it today

another Gem in youtube for filmaking! thanks bro

Such an important topic and such valuable advice for all the creatives who can barely survive in the industry due to the lack of financial intelligence. Your insights sparked some new ideas. Thank you!

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZfaq channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,696 subs and > 1k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

As always straight to the point and great parallels to Kiyosaki's base financial intelligence principles. Спасибо за твою работу!

I really enjoyed watching this one dude! So refreshing to see someone with a bunch of real world experience, being so open about their process :) Keep it up ⚡️

Thank you for this video.

God bless you sir... I'm actually quite motivated as a young and aspiring film-maker / director who uses and iPhone to create films. Good job sir.

Great advice. Thank you!

Love this!

Thank u!

Best video you've made. Literally everytime. What's that mic?

Great video mate

Awesome video bro 🙏 we appreciate your work brother 🙌

Thank you for this!

Thank you for valuable info, mate! You have a nice financial vocabulary for a filmmaker. 😅👍

You have earned yourself a subscriber 😊

more like this please!

Great content ! thanks !

very good video , thanks for these kind of content

Hey Nur, lately I have been loving your videos - so I would like to make a personal request. I am a commercial director working on ads - but making that jump from there to the "real" filmmaking stuff - makes me feel stuck - I want to know how it works if I want to land a producer & an actual film - like what I need to do, create or whom to pitch, meet etc. Maybe you can suggest me one of your videos - or maybe make one? Thanks bud.

I also believe in the power of building a personal brand. I’m excited to see your channel’s growth. I have also started mine!

This is all really great info, thanks Nur. But one thing that I’m still hung up on is the fact that many of these things depend on having an audience. We can’t all be youtubers and all sell assets. Some don’t have the interest, not to mention there are millions already doing it. So how can one have an audience to sell to if they’re not a youtuber or an inventor? I don’t expect you to have an answer to that, but it’s definitely something to ponder. I’m currently in the space of worrying about my income, so thank you for this - I’ll try to implement what I can

Such a good reminder, thanks so much man :)

Amazing!! Can you make a video on how to work with agencies so that they consider you for their pitches and shoots?

yes this type of content is great!

Great advice from someone who has tried it out thank you for this video

My man ! This is such a wonderful video and such an untouched topic in our space. Would love to have you on my podcast to share some wisdom and your experiences to the community!

original. Good stuff

Love it.

I'm a part time employee starting a production company, trying to get their first client before this year is over or at best sometime in January.

Something I’ve learned that has made me a lot more money is “You can’t negotiate unless you can walk away.”

Great video

Great video! Thanks. I watched it till the end. Can you answer me: "What kind of person do you feel right now? Do you still feel your self as a freelancer? Or you feel like self-employed? Or like business owner?" I noticed that you say something important about the freelancers situation. They do tasks/projects for someone else, do it for money and don't have stability like employees have on their day job. So I am trying to figure out what that means to feel free and independent in your job? When you create your own projects - is it still freelance? Or the freelance it's only about making projects for someone else? Who you become when you start to build your personal projects, like you did? You feel like it's still freelance, but higher level? Or you feel now like you are an entrepreneur? Or you feel like business owner? Tell me please... It's interesting for me :)

Stunning

Спасибо большое! Я наченал это понимать пару лет назад и думаю надо больше людей будить к этому)

Спасибо за информацию! Подскажите, а что делать видеографу из маленького города? На данный момент я снимаю нескольким компаниям Reels, но это не совсем то чем бы я хотел заняться.

Can you do a BTS tutorial on how you make those one page websites? Like the one your "Get Signed " book is on.

What kind of jobs can you get in the film industry that can help you get experience while earning

In a nutshell- have multiple sources of income.

Here’s the truth that creative people don’t wanna hear. Well listen up! 😂 Great video!

I just don’t understand how you can actually make any money when EVERYONE is film maker or photographer now. Also AI wants to be a filmmaker and photographer now.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No money? Get some.

Am I doing the math wrong? $1000/mo invested with a return of 7% would take 27 years to develop into $1M. Not to say your advice is bad but simple investment strategies over time is still an easy way to grow your money.

Why do you want 1 million dollars in the first place?

"investing in your knowledge is not taxable" wrong. Lies.

Really insightful stuff! Knowing you didn’t have to provide any of this to us but still did is great and the business side of filmmaking isnt talked about that much so it’s cool to see that in here🫡 If someone wanted to start reading books about growing a business or being financially successful what would you recommend I know you mentioned some in the video but wanted to ask if you knew anymore?

yes this type of content is great!
