I wanted to write you off Chris. The chains, the glasses, to me my first reaction was “fake guru”! But in reality I see you are authentic, intelligent and generous with your knowledge. 👊🏽 Respect.
I’m an accountant and I’ve searched deeply and questioned does the work that I do really matter. Or rather, how can I present what I do in such a way that it’s valued beyond it just being a commodity. I do agree that not having the answer to this has hindered my motivation to put out content. I want what I present to be meaningful and impactful. Anyway, I have some things to think about heading into the new year. I am very excited. Thanks for this video and reminder. Thank you so much for your continued value and gems. Well wishes to you and all in the new year!!
Thanks for sharing. From my experience working with many accountants, I believe it is important. We have a video the team is working on that I think will resonate with you. Have a happy new year!
@@thefutur thanks for the link , please are there certain videos restricted to higher members .because though I’ve been a member for 4months now it’s showing that the video is only available to the channels members on patron level or higher
@@VoicesOfSalih Hey yes most of the videos if not all are for Patron members ($15/per month) Premier members get early access to videos & badgers occasionally we’ll throw a video in there.
Leaving aside the content, which, as usual, is A+, I am pleasantly surprised to see that this "authenticity" that The Futur team keeps talking about is present in the courses they offer. It's unbelievable... you see that when you offer a very high value product, people pay to listen to you even if there is a lot of critical but beneficial feedback like : "does anybody do not do good work who's so new into their field or pretending right now? Then no one will raise their hand but I'm sure there's one or two people" 🤩😄🙃
I loved being at this event! I've opened the pandora's box as Chris said by asking the first question 'Why is having a shadow/transformative word important?' A question I always wanted to ask Chris and I finally got my answer! it was amazing to see 2 hours of conversation just flow, no agenda just real conversation, only Chris can do that. The 2 day workshop on 'conversational selling' was also TRANSFORMATIVE!
Chris, This is absolutely true!!! The way to, not only be successful, but to have personal and professional satisfaction is to give value to others. There is a saying, "What is better? To be a King or a King maker?" You are truly a King Maker!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Another banger! 2 thoughts : 1. I love the unscripted slices where you have to listen and find the true nuggets in the wild - reminds me of Rory Sutherland saying that things which take some small extra effort feel more potent/valuable. 2. Authentic you vs ads as content kind of parallels with the modern music industry - artists used to tour to sell records - now they sell music cheaply to promote live tours.
I’m getting organized. Only took me years!!!!!! I did great work. I can’t really charge. Just to get out of explaining, I will just wait for the next part. Oooops sorry it’s over. I can’t really charge because I don’t set the prices. What really matters is that I got my living space under control and I am ready to have fun again. I have one day to go where my time is completely liberated. Then I am going vacation:). Then well…….. then it’s kind of all fun from there except I don’t have a real great overall view of life in the future. So kind of just settling back into a normal type life. Probably new things to get bogged down by. The point is I’m ready for the next chapter. Take care and best wishes:)
Chris- you have been an angel for me and my brand- writing a book now with the best publisher in the world!! Would love to host you on my podcast someday :)
The funniest story for me is that once I became debt-free in 2018, it was better than when I made the most money I ever made in 2019-2022. I started buying stuff that made me lose my freedom to have to pay for it, meaning I have to work harder. More hours, more fast food, and more travel. I'll be debt-free again in March, and I cannot wait! The other thing I did was change my magazine from trying to fit "algorithms" to just doing what I love. It became less stressful and, in my opinion (not consumers), became more fun and real. Instead of looking for money as before, I just ask people how can I help make a memory of being published possible for them and it works
To be IMPACTFUL on what we share will definitely give a big result that leads to achieving ones dream. But it's the journey in making the videos that's very critical. Thanks for sharing this awesome video.
Neuroscience even shows that emotional experiences are strongly tied to memory retention, so people remember how you make them feel far more than the specifics of what you provide.
3 Things That Helped My Business: 1. I started re-investing money, systematically 2. I stopped doing everything myself & delegated work 3. I read the book: "RICH MIND, RICH LIFE: How to Develop Wealth, Mentality for a Successful Lifestyle" by Destiny Idahosa
Chris Do thank you for this knowledge shared, I almost cried of the truth that you have spoken, Thank you I appreciate you! Aurel from Romania Cluj-Napoca!
I say I want money but I actually want #1 a revenue source that exceeds my financial needs and #2 summers off with my kids - so I’m building my own business to have both of those things 💡
I’m an online career coach & im trying to figure out how can I generate so much value for someone that changes their life. I know I can do it but just believe it yet
What kind of event was this? I’d like to be at the next one, anywhere in Europe. Long time appreciator and beneficiary of Chris’ expertise here. Would love to start participating.
A phenomenal One, With every episode , comes pricessless Gems. You always confirm to me that I need not to be normal like everybody Chris. But is it me or this feels more like cuts from one of your longer videos , i.e masterclasses,sessions with students Because I tend to see more writing on the board as you move to each point which means I’ve missed out on a lot of gems Would be happy if you could drop the link of that video So I go deep on it. Thank You Son of Do!!
Thanks for the feedback; that's what we're here for! The full episode is available to our Patron members on RUclips. It's a new format we're trying to keep up the production growth of the team and keep more content like this available for free.
Hey Chris. I've been digging through the archives, and wanted to ask you this question. What are the differences between the process and the result? Sometimes, I've heard you say 'I don't care how you do it. I just want it done.' I also know that you have a past series called 'The Process.' How do I know which one is more important to prioritize?
Great question! This is something I’ve wrestled with over the years too. The truth is, both process and result matter, but their importance depends on the context. When I say, “I don’t care how you do it. I just want it done,” it’s usually about outcomes that are time-sensitive or results-driven. In those moments, the end result is what moves the needle, especially if you’re working with a team or a client. On the other hand, ‘The Process’ is all about the journey-understanding the steps, refining your craft, and learning from the work itself. Prioritizing the process is essential when you’re building long-term skills or solving a problem where the how matters just as much as the what. So, how do you choose? Ask yourself: Is this about delivering value now, or growing and refining over time? There’s a balance, and the magic happens when you learn to navigate both.
@@thefutur Process and 'just get it done' aren't mutually exclusive. A sense of the importance of process is something that takes time to understand and develop. In a crunch a good actual process or grasp of how important processes are can be the difference between things falling to pieces or getting done. Process is the one of the best ways to 'just get it done'.
Sorry I’m confused. Elon Musk and the other guys that you mentioned, have more followers than their companies. People are interested in who they are, what they think, and what they have planned for the future. So does that mean that we should use our funds to build a personal brand/ story telling, or to market for the company that we are trying to bring awareness to? Because I thought you were highlighting that the wave of personal brands isn’t really authentic and honest. And that we should focus on solving real problems for people and showing interest in others. That will increase your value and how much people are willing to pay you
I believe he talks about personal brands being unauthentic not as a moral statement but as a result of bad strategy - basically having a personal brand that's "me me me". Taking his examples, they don't talk only about their work and company, they aren't like "buy a tesla car and save the world" but talk about creativity, courage, art, a better future... that's what brings people to them.
don't use funds to build a personal brand!! live an interesting life and create and do interesting things..and post about it now where do i send the invoice to for my insight? ;)
Hi, think of yourself 5 years ago, 2 years ago. What were you thinking about then? What were you going through? Share about what you learned, how you applied it, and how it changed your life. You can only share what you know and have lived through. Hope this helps.
Based on the feedback or results of your clients/customers. If they love you, send others to you, keep coming back, get results they want, etc you’re on track.
Go out there and try to find people to pay for it. Try 30-40 people/companies and see if 1 or 2 are into it. If you already have those, try bigger fish.
I call the Persona the Mask. We wear it to look good socially. But it’s just a mask. A front to cover our shadow. This is why I love Chris. He is wise. But not only wise, his BS detector is as sensitive as his distaste for it. So awesome. 🫶🏽

Man you’re wrong about the shadow. The shadow is the part of you that you don’t accept and is full of skills that you haven’t developed yet, so you project the “force” outside corresponding a strong emotion. E.g.: you are envy of an actor because he’s so good in acting. The Shadow are telling you that you have the same capability and passion for acting like that person that incarnate your deepest desires
everyone is selling, even the people you see doing the most stupid crap on tiktok.. there product is themselves and they are trying to extract your attention so they can become famous and make more money.. every single person has there own motive and agenda. "I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS" what ever......
Do you work? If so, do you work for free? If not, you're just selling your time and services/skills to extract money from others. How selfish. See how silly that sounds? If you don't want to watch someone hoping to earn a living doing what they do, stay at home and never leave.

@@veekeebillz
For me It's vice versa maybe bc I know Chris in a long time and i like his style/identity not fakery.. (he's teaching valuable stuff)
