You know Chris.. i trully watch your videos everyday with my wife. We just started our coffee business and construction..we have learned literally so much from your role plays and other dicussions. I may not comment a lot, but hopefully this short comment can get to you and your team and letting you know how grateful we are knowing someone like you. Continue to change and inspire more lives Chris. May God bless you and also become a channel for blessings to others. Take care! :)

It’s really commendable to see how Chris has remained consistent with creating purposeful content, not just for marketing sake, but to make a lasting impact.
Well done, The Futur!

Thank you 🙏

[@brunoferrum1060]

Great inspo thank you, for me I believe reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially)
That's my two cents on this

[@marcosalvatore673]

1 agree with 100%
Action makes it work, no matter how little start and see the results come by

[@georgenoah4872]

I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck

[@brunoferrum1060]

Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.

"Reading books has been a game-changer for me when it comes to making smarter financial decisions. The wealth of knowledge found in financial books has provided me with valuable insights, strategies, and perspectives that have helped me build a solid financial foundation

[@tahirisaid2693]

I initially started my investment journey with the guidance of a financial advisor named *Jenny Pamogas Canaya.* Her transparent approach granted me full control of my investments, and her fees are reasonable, considering my return on investment. Nonetheless, it's crucial to conduct thorough research before engaging with any financial advisor.

[@3dvortex001]

You have helped me to shift my thinking beyond just being a creative and constantly give me more tools. Thank you for being part of my growing process Chris !

Thank you 🙏

The Win Without Pitching Manifesto is literally sitting on my desk right now after my morning chapter read. Such a great book halfway through and I thoroughly appreciate this rec from you months ago on your podcast with Blair :) 10/10 list :D

[@thefuturescoach]

Absolutely. I am striving to achieve an expert positioning to have better clients and to stop spending so much time on preparing pitches.

[@dianacepsyte2860]

I LOVED the compound effect. My brother was in prison for about 5 years, during which time I would send him a lot of self-development books. And, apparently, when I sent him the Compound Effect, the book started to rotate among the prisoners like wildfire lol :) Haha.

[@kylewillacey2445]

i love this book

[@raymondtendau2749]

@@kylewillacey2445 It's a Game changer. It blows my mind how such a great book can be so low key. I personally got to know of it from a comment section in a RUclips video. I grabbed a copy after checking reviews on it. Applying what I learn from that book just seems like magic to the non reader. Can't recommend that book enough.🙏🏾

[@entanglednerves]

I heard of this book for the first time in a James Jani video

[@chananivai1816]

I am proud to say I have read a few books on that list already! The Subtle Art, The One Thing, The Compound Effect, Delivering Happiness and How to Win Without Pitching! I am an avid reader so I am excited to dig into this list. Esp Jim Rohn's book whom I consider a hero and mentor! Thank you Chris!

[@thefutur]

You’re very welcome. Good on you.

[@HermanHuang]

Chris, watching your videos throughout the years is what convinced me to start reading. The books you recommend, especially The Win Without Pitching Manifesto, elevated my career and has brought me to a better place in my life overall. Thank you for continuing to share your experience and teaching us the valuable things I can only wish we got out of school.

[@thefutur]

Glad to hear. Leaders are readers.

[@ivodamjanovski7567]

Books are everywhere, and yet still so underrated in the design community imo. The courses you are being sold sound nicer with shinier graphics and all, but the cost to value ratio of a good old book is unparalleled.
I've learned so much and will definitely read these. Personally I'd add:
1. Building a Story Brand
2. Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion

[@johnmbevo7490]

Chris' Communication is out of this world.That level of mastery and skill.
I love The futur. 💯

[@deddyachmaddaryaman7981]

Great share, this information help allot to focusing what to read. Thanks

[@bernalphotography]

When I was 19 years old I joined a multi-level marketing (MLM) company. Our mentor would have us listen to Jim Rhon almost daily, he has been such a great inspiration since then. One of my favorite quotes from him to this day is "success is something you attract, by the person you become". I just really got what that really meant about 10 months ago, I'm now about to be 38, so it took about 19 years for me to go "ooooh now I really get it"

Just read the Win Without Pitching Manifesto and am trying to implement them in my business. A game changer!

Ive always been skeptical on books because I feel like doing the act that I want to learn about is much more valuable but as you are one of my idols I am willing to give books a shot again

[@AlexisBalinoff]

The style of the videos changed for the better. It's more attractive and easier for people to absorb. You guys at The Futur were already mind-blowing but you managed to make the videos even better. Bravo!

[@OptimusRhymeCrew]

Hey! I got so much value out of your book recommendations over the years, its unbelievable. I landed a dream job as Branding Officer at a software company, directing a team of five people. I came across Marty Neumeyer, Seth Godin, Douglas Davies, Austin Kleon, Blair Enns and Donald Miller, because of you and it changed my life. Thank you!! However. After i studied lots of this stuff in a branding context, i am not so sure if Marty wrote "THE" book on brand. Sure his Stuff is awesome and he is great - no doubt. But isn't it true that Aaker is to be seen as the father of "Brand" ? You have never talked about him. He has some very valuable Stuff, too. Maybe you could elaborate on him and why you seem to not mention him in the great context. That would be interesting. As said, thank you, Chris! You. Are. Awesome. !!! Greetings from Germany ;)

[@thefutur]

what's the best branding book you've read? I'll read it.

[@OptimusRhymeCrew]

@@thefutur You got me in some way. I have to say the trinity of Marty Neumeyer has the most value. But "Aaker on Branding - 20 Principles that drive success" comes pretty close. Also, really helpful in developing strategy and a framework to deploy is Ulli Applebaum with his Brand positioning Workbook. And there's a german Book called "Branded Interactions" by Marco Spies & Katja Wenger which is described as the standard work on branding for digital transformation. It's focused on interaction design and the hands-on process of branding in general with a lot of very nice graphics. If you're lucky there is a translation, but just the graphics are worth it, i'd say.

[@christianeholden]

@@OptimusRhymeCrew Thanks for the suggestion. Luckily I'm German, so will put that on my reading list 😀

[@M2008tw]

I have previously seen your YTs and became curious about the book: "The Win Without Pitching Manifesto". As a designer, your focus is mostly on getting better at designing and when you start your own business, you are completely green on the business side and what it takes to run a healthy business. It's been that way for me for far too long. But it's never too late to do something about it. I implemented some of these techniques and with a large client I can safely say it gave me 50% more in profit than usual - they even return back and would offer me more for the task, because they could see the value and importance of the service I could contribute with - I've never tried that before. Thanks for the effort and sharing. Having said that, I can improve much more on the business side and I still make mistakes. It's a new journey and it's fun when it succeeds. For me, it's about finding the customers who appreciate what I can help them with and who can see the value of my contribution to their business.

Hello Oscar

[@jmiscischia]

Hey The Futur, just to say that I really love what you're doing, just mind blowing. I also want to say that these stock video are really strange... I explain. The Futur, and especially Chris Do, is for me, synonym of design, typography, grided layouts, pixel perfect... And this is truly what I love about you guys. I love the deck you use, these typos layouts, these little animations with shapes and colors (and cut out of chris 😉), it reminds me the keynote we make for our pitch. Really inline with the Futur brand. So, those stock footage, really unpersonnal, generic are really strange in your edit and especially from you The Futur. I understand that create animations, little motions takes time and ressources and you may want more cut and rythm in your edit, but these footage... It remind me a video of you and Fabian Geyrhalter and his test about the genericness of the brand and here the test failed lol Sorry for the big bulk of text. And, again, thx for all, you rock guys!

[@nikhild9918]

After looking at this you might feel you have understood everything, but trust me you will understand it when you practice it. Happened to me. While talking you will suddenly realise that you forgot about what kind of questions you wanted to ask, and even if you did remember, you will ask in different orders. Practice ACTIVE LISTENING.
