Don't compare your chapter 1 to Chris's chapter 10. Be at your chapter now and make your own way through like he did, there's no shortcuts. The transitions are the hardest and highly contextual to you which can't be covered by rules or advice. Don't be hard on yourself, resolve.

1. Delegation 2. Shift from hourly based to project fees pricing 3. Focus, Focus, Focus 4. Learning how to have the money conversation 5. Invest

You know what's funny Chris, ever since I became an entrepreneur I have these "dark days" every now and then. But you know what lifts me up EVERY SINGLE TIME? First I turn to God and back to real honest prayer. The next day I stumble upon one of your videos. Like this for example. Every time! You have something man, I can't describe it, but your style, voice, advice... they just lift me up and it feels like I have found new motivation. I've said to my friend so many times: Thank Christ for Chris Do and his team.

This is like 10 years of knowledge compressed into one video. Focusing on one thing is hard but worth it, makes you an expert and people are more willing to trust you and hire you. Thank you, Chris.

4 years of university and never was anything put across so concisely, I'm in Zimbabwe, running my own agency business, just 2 years after university and the skills Chris is sharing have enabled me to create some wonderful systems and processes, so I'm still developing and learning but my clients value me as a professional and someone who knows what his doing 😄😄😄😄 and it's all from learning intricate things boiled down to simple nuggets by Chris. Thank you Chris.

I can't believe a channel like this exists on the internet. So grateful.

I followed you from my 1st semester & now already in my final semester. I applied most of your tips during my study. This video really helps me to swim in this blue ocean but with a different perspective & approach. Keep Motivating & Thank you, Chris Do.

Main points mentioned in this video: 1. Learn how to have the money conversation. 2. Delegate some of the work you’re doing not to get burnt out. 3. Shift from hourly based. 4. Focus, focus, focus.

Chris Do is like the most caring Dad that wants to see his designer kids succeed. Best dad ever! :D

Thank you a million times, Chris. I started watching your videos when I went back to live with my mom and I had $0 in my bank account. After watching your videos I closed 3 clients for $5,000 selling them video marketing services. I have never seen content on youtube that helped me get results so effectively and quickly. I'm willing to take your paid courses because even your free content helped me make money. Your content is gold!

Just started content creation and working as a freelancer, and I'd say these are the best advice I have ever heard regarding money making discipline. The confidence and calmness when Chris explain it makes it easier to understand. Thank you, Chris. You are a blessing to the design industry.

I'm a freelance filmmaker and photographer from Taiwan and your help is MASSIVE for me! Keep Rocking Chris!

You put your videos together out of golden nuggets. I am so grateful for all you’ve taught me, and all the support the “cold-hearted robot” in you has given (this was a nice one btw, as I really can’t name a more caring educator right now). I can’t thank you enough. But I hope I can do at least some good to others following your example.

Chris, your advice and coaching is really priceless and so useful for all small business owners, not just design professionals. Thank you so much for the time and energy you spend sharing your experience so we call can learn from it. I’m definitely one of your million. Please keep going.

Your KZfaq content is absolutely amazing Chris!! I can’t say enough about what you’re providing for so many entrepreneurs and how concise you are at sharing it. You bring on amazing guests too. Thank you for all that you provide for the entrepreneurial go getters out there.

The Futur has been the best thing that ever happened to my learning journey! I went to school for business, but honestly feel like nothing really changed till I started implementing the futur’s tips! Thank you Chris, please keep putting out value 🎉

I am in my Year One doing Branding Projects, and this video means a lot for anchoring my 2023! Thank you so much, Chris! Will work out more on your #1 and #4 Points! Who knows, my out of Passion Branding Studio could be a Branding Agency by end of year *praying*

After months of not watching TheFutur, then I saw this in my YT recommendation. And This video is just straight up GOLD. It's good to watch their videos again and what's more in TheFutur channel.

Chris your channel helped me go from jr graphic designer to art director this year. Didn't think it could happen so fast. Thank you so much from me and my family. Also, I'm reading Socratic Selling right now which you recommended, and damn... that's a good book. It's answered a lot of questions about selling that I didn't even know I had.

The money conversation is gold

Probably the best video of 2023 for me thus far. This was super helpful, saved it for future reference also. The pressure equation and lesson on talking about money are critical in my area.

Invest time, money on yourself first. Your values increase, money come

I really felt that "we are stressed by the things we don't say" deep in my bones because i don't talk much and a lot of times am stuck thinking too much

I liked the ending there. In Jamaica I remember my teachers saying “silver and gold may vanish away but a good education never decay”. Im loving these videos.

Everytime I see you online - I get something out of it that I didn't expect or didn't know that I needed to hear. Thank you ;)

These videos are just as valuable if not more valuable than any business class I've ever taken. Thank you so much.

It's interesting to think about focusing on investing into yourself. It's nice to have a goal like that, to invest into yourself until your market value growth slows down, comparable to how much you're putting in. It's kind of hard to know what makes sense to invest in long term, so this is very practical and clearly defined goal. I like clarity. Small things like this can save years of my life. I've been through unclear life goals - not fun. I think you really have to know your stuff and have some contacts to start an agency. When you're competing with cheap labor market from Asia, you need to be more sure that you can deliver.

It's the money talk section for me! Specifically anchoring the price with a range vs just one price.

Thank you Chris for this distilled knowledge you are offering for free. I will attempt to put the bits of it that I can into my freelancing work in the coming year.

So grateful for you chris and your team and all the people behind this channel 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️

Grateful for you Chris! Praying God blesses you abundantly in 2023.

Sir Chris please pay attention: I am working on Fiverr and just getting client between $50-200 and you know it's very stressful, how can I scale my self, what I need to do, how can I find $1000-10000 clients, What's the roadmap? This question depresses me alot, can you please make a video on ?

This is huge is supporting my path to repare my relationship with money and evaluating how to build my business with using my super power of being a consumer as my insider glimps into what will sell because I know what I am attracted to.

This channel has given me a totally new perspective on work and business. If you're looking to up your business skills, watch all this channel's content.

Focus is surely the hardest thing to do. It's very tempting to do everything to achieve so much in a short-time. In reality, its spreading yourself out thin that you end up achieving close to nothing.

When he said 'the 4th one will blow your mind', he wasn't joking

It always comes back to value. I have to constantly remind myself that "it's not about how to get money from the client, it's about helping the client receive value". Once I look through that lens, I just start asking the right questions.

Thanks for covering the issue of money. If I could have my way, I'd just make things and never have to talk about it. But like you said, when we don't talk about money, it becomes this anxiety inducing thing that creates problems. Using the bracketing/range strategy to talk about price is really helpful :) I literally need the words to say when talking to clients because it doesn't come naturally to me

When i feel a bit lonely with my creative career issues, i'm always impressed (and kinda of relieved) how you perfectly highlight them. Put on motion some action about those issues is not gonna be easy, but you make it look possible. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much, as in the example you gave in this video I was about to give up and put an end to this dream of being a successful entrepreneur, you were the angel that kept me on track to keep trying. thank you very much Chris

Always leave inspired when I watch your videos. As a business owner, these lessons are valuable.

Thank for the Roadmap! Im all in!

I am in a different area but these sales tips are still applicable. Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise.

I learnt that I have to choose a niche and focus on one career path from a simulation game. This is really enlightening.

Your sincerity is what sets you apart.

🤯 omg!!! My customers were never happy with my hourly based pricing. They were always trying to game the system. How can I get more out of her for the price? I hate custom jobs. They always try to get me to do things that aren’t my specialty. Then they aren’t happy. This was awesome!

This has got to be the best channel on KZfaq

Thank you, helpful going into 2023.

This is truly invaluable coaching! Thanks Chris😊

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Brother your videos have been such a big teaching for my business !! keep it on ! I'm there supporting your channel !

You are always providing value. I have a meeting tomorrow and its always good to refresh on some great Futur content. Thanks!

Seriously i feel like he's literally reading my mind 😅Chris thank you and i love you man, you're the best thing that happened for creative people.

I usuallly wonder how Chris can retain this whole knowledge...I mean...wow.... Genius.

This channel is making a major difference for me. Thank you 🙏🏾

Really loved this one. I get the most out of your videos when, like this one, you’re actually being very hands-on with your advice and tips. You’re killing it. 🖖

It's mind-blowing how much I continuously learn from The Futur despite the amount of experience I have acquired. I forever wish to be eager to learn and expand my knowledge and experience no matter where I go. So keep up the good work, you all. Thank you.

In 2023 I'm Chris DOing my situation. Giving most of the work away to better designers so I spend most time on the business. Don't know how but it must be done

this is priceless, thanks Chris and the futur

First time commenting. $100k of student debt from a well known art school. But, this would have been worth the 2k+ per credit hour. Thanks for this.

You held the creative people thinks rationally, and manage their business the right way to improve their impact. Very useful vidéo

Hi Chris, my name is Bac. I am from Australia. Thank you for the value you bring in your videos. 😊

Found this really helpful. Thank you so much Chris.

Thank you. This is so well condensed and clear. It makes our easy to understand, and therefore easy to remember

Hi Chris - Another home run in our professional development journey. Gracias!

Thanks a lot Chris, because of you I am able to charge more money 💰 for my project. I recently came to Canada 🇨🇦 and I designed a Logo for $25, 1 month ago and now I charged $500. Because I learned how to talk about money and I believe I will go further.

I'm not a business owner, but I find this very helpful as an employee.

WOW I JUST HAD A HUGE BREAKTHROUGH when you talked about niching down the way you put it in context made it click for me. 💯❤️ Thank you for all the information you share.🙏🙏

Absolutely loving these videos. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. As usual, very impactful and hitting all the key points.

Oh boy dat was SOLID! After 12 years working way more than I would like as a solo-dev-preneur, I knew i had to improve my delegation skills and have been working on it, but the money-talk was an eye opener for me, I've done that before (price brackets), but I never Actually realized the psychological effect and how this can be effectively used until now. I've been learning those concepts the hard way so I have total respect and appreciation for what you are doing here Chris, Big Thank You for sharing your knowledge with us!

Everyone talks about how to speak to a client, but how do you actually get a client? How do you get in front of the people that can afford you?

Super thanks for taking time to create this video. So many great tips you're sharing here

thanks for the teachings, me and my fiancee are starting a creative agency rn and it's invaluable!

Chris Do, you are the OG. Your advice is practical and actionable. Full support for your mission to teach 1B people make a living doing what they love !

One of my favorite channels in 2022 truly valuable information!!!

Bonus Comment+ Valuable Content as usual. The Futur is always refreshingly insightful

Shying from the money conversation will just make the deal quench the fire. Just tell it straight because a lot of times the decision maker is waiting for you to say the price. I've done a lot of outsourcing, closing deals, and hiring other people from my previous job in the construction industry and that's how we press the pulse.

Brilliant information brother! Thank you very much!

The value brought me.... Well done guys!!

Comment for the algorithm. Thanks for all the value the whole team are delivering

Wow!! This was power packed. I got more out of this video than some of your 1-2 trainings. Thank you Chris!

Always been of the entrepreneur mindset even as an employee and I finally given myself the right to fully jump and make the leap of faith after 12years developing my skill. Your channel is a gold mine thanks so much those advices ! :)

This is Apt. Needed this now! Because I am finally taking Chris' scaling advice. I am going to save this so I can watch it at least once a week.

I love the lesson no. 5! Thanks!

Every time I've heard you talk about price bracketing, I've always heard you teach us to say the bigger number first. This video taught me there can be an inverse, which I can use in certain instances where I'm unsure of bopping up my rates. Rule of thumb though is to use a very comfortable price as the lowest so that even though the client thinks they got a bargain, I get a very comfortable pay.

So glad I am watching this video.

I'm here for Chris' happy face. And, yes, solid wisdom here. Especially 'saying no' to hone in on one skill. Incredibly difficult to do, but there's no other way.

Thank you

The fifth lesson? I’ve been wandering about this forever!! And worrying about what’s in it for me. After watching this, I have a better direction moving forward on this and feel way more confident about it…thank you, again👏

Thank you Cris! This is what I need in 2023!

What a great way to start off 2023! I’ve just launched my videography business and will definitely use these tips!

I like the tip on focus. The illustration was on point and it shows me that to have a better impact I need to focus on less so I can get more

The part about # 4 that’s a game changer for me is not the what but the WHEN!!! 🤯🤓🙌🏿

thank you Chris you have taught me a lot

Bro. Jim Rohn n richest man in Babylon are really blowing my mind right now. Hmu if u ever wanna hear my life story lol

Only 613 comments, dude you should have far more than that! You produce awesome work and education, thank you :)

You reignited my inner 🔥 as 50 yr old.

It's always great to see more content from the futur. The advice here is solid as always.
