Dude, Chris you're dropping gems!! I had to pause multiple times to catch what you were saying and write it down. I'm on track to building a 6 figure creative and media agency this year and I have even got out of second gear, with implementing the things that you have been teaching. Life changing!!

The first video I saw on this channel had a profound impact on me. It awakened a spark inside me and inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a solo architect. Your ideas and insights have sparked my creativity and opened my mind to new possibilities and have my mind think like "I didn't know that you could think this way". Each episode I watch fills me with anticipation, knowing there's wisdom to be gained. I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned from your channel and look forward to giving back. Expect a token of my gratitude soon. For now all i can give you is a heartfelt THANK YOU CHRIS! and all the team of the futur for these kind of content
Great insights on overcoming business stagnation! A key tactic often overlooked is leveraging existing clients for referrals; satisfied customers can be prompted to introduce you to potential leads, which typically converts higher than cold outreach. Remember, it's not just about finding new clients, but maximizing the potential of your current network.
Finally a new unlock for me! Targeting who signs the check but doesn’t use the service. Chris, I’ll be honest, most of your latest videos have not been giving me value as they are about value pricing and business basics that I am fortunate to be past. This video started in the same disappointing manner, but the last 3rd of it got me the unlock. Thank you for that!
I’m imagining that you asked some version of the question what might you attendees want to learn about today. What a wonderful way to increase the likelihood that you’ll meet some important needs. Awesome I wish every training offered such a question. Cheers🎉
One if not the only people I consider legit coaches. You're killing it, Chris! One day I'll be ready to have a conversation with you that would do us equal good. Day's around the corner. Thank you for your hard work!
I recently started a storytelling business. And, I was struggling with pricing it right and targeting one customer segment for the service. It's so hard to say no to low-paying customers in the beginning when the mindset is 'scared to lose money.' But this was immensely helpful. Thank you so much.
Can't get enough of the value that Chrish shares! I like whole explanation of finding the real life prospect's problems and its solution. The framing of insightful AI prompts is very creative. Learning from experts like Chrish, certainly gives you different positive perspectives to grow. Thank you so much! ❤
To also quote Alex Hormozi, you also have customers in the most unlikeliest of places. Even if you do not have a million-scale fold audience, your contacts in your phone, your social media followers on your personal Instagram, etc are all potential customers. How do you think businesses sometimes start? They start marketing to friends and family who then refer their businesses to complete strangers. Gonna save this Masterclass for another time but it is bookmarked.
I love you man. You just saved my business. Thanks for doing all the research and sharing the golden nuggets with us. You are truly an empathetic soul and I appreciate you for that.
Hi Chris Do! I love your videos. Is there a class or video on youtube about how to go grow or get more luxury client base? Like luxury brands. Fashion, lifestyle, accessories. Thank you.
I really like the fact that Homozi is quoted in front of "future homozi from 20 years ahead of us" sitting focused in the 1st row. Poetry in motion (and major kudos to that reasonnably elderly gentleman) - EDIT: i just discovered his name is Mark!!
THIS VIDEO, is great for those of us with ADHD - and can't stay on task or focus on the class. I wish college was this way. I have backed up I don't know how many times because I have 3 monitors with stuff always popping up and distracting me. I had to close all of my apps except my Obsidian note taking app, and youtube.
@@thefutur Closing tabs that consist of attention seeking websites like social network sites, email and Amazon. The more I close the better - leaving just something up for note taking, and your video is what I have found to work best.
Dear Chris, could you explain this concept related to product photography? I thought that was going to be the next example after the other photography types you mentioned. Many thanks, love the content x
Chris is versed in every topic, whilst talking about oversubscribed method of marketing by Daniel Priestley, he captured the role of business analyst and software tester in product/project management. I'm flabbergasted by Chris immense wisdom
I was a bit hesitant to watch the video in the beginning because I thought the topics were't relevant to me. I glad I stayed! Watched it to the end! There were a few AHA moments which made the video immensely valuable! Thanks!
I love the way that Chris thinks about stuff. It feels sound, but I have a tough time understanding the path forward sometimes. The logistics matter when it comes to sales funnels, lead gen, etc. Any tips for how to get guidance on building lead generators?

Hello. I catched the fraze " We all whant more clients" . And in my current pozition of developing my first business I'm thinking for me haveing x amount of stable clients that would be able to sustain my teams good life picture would be really enough. Im thinking how the exit point in the business looks like end how example of healthy work envirenment looks like with x numbers that doesn't need to grow anymore .
Chris! I know how to solve that problem! Entrepreneurial Summer Program for Pre-Teens (they’re still cute and the parents are scared of the adolescence age so they’ll pay $10k for - Summer Workshop Series. Even better, integrate communication and affect regulation skills building into the project base learning projects. Teach the children how to make the video content introducing the communication and the adult translation to affect regulation skills is…. Wait for it….. RELATIONSHIP SKILLS. Thats the workshop series you can deliver at the summer/ start of the new school year. Ultimately, this sets a strong intention to ground the new school year. (This was how I would scaffold resilience building and scaffold skill development when working with high achieving parent and their families- no video skills just the communication, affect regulation and collaborative family engagement. I’m in the accelerator- if this makes any sense I can elaborate on this in the next call.
Honestly, the terms 'agency' and 'studio' are used interchangebly. An agency is going to usually be bigger while a studio is going to be a bit smaller of a crew. Either way, they both offer specialized creative solutions. Agencies can oftentimes have more capabilites (a broader range of services) where studios may be niched into a specific service like design, animation, video, etc. Again this isn't a hard rule. Chris Do's studio, Blind, covers everything from brand strategy to video production, animation, and website design.
Excellent question, this is my two cents so take this with a grain of salt, but the terms for agency and studio can vary depending on the amount of services offered and number of employees. From what I have seen, a studio is smaller in terms of what it can offer whereas an agency is much larger. That being said, there are exceptions to this generalization. Hope that somewhat helps!
on the subject of music.. if you like a band or musician PLEASE make a point of getting some money to them somehow through donations etc.. it's SO hard for musicians to get even pennies for the ads on their videos and people get joy and comfort from their songs they spent years building the skills to record and write etc.. please show some love to them.. and SHARE links to their work.. some songs i write get real big reactions live but no one finds them online so please tell your favourite musicians that you value them, and try to donate them a few dollars if you've not bought their releases but you listen to them thanks..x
No disrespect, he just said basic things in a slow and unique way. Sometimes, folks think they are getting something deep, when in reality, they just needed to go back to the basics (which is a good thing).

Let's assume the designer charges an average of $50k per project and can complete one project per month. Total Debt: $216,000 Average Fee per Project: $50,000 Number of Projects Needed: $216,000 / $50,000 = 4.32 projects Granted this is simplified, realistically it’s showing just how much you can make and it’d be paid off the same year.
@tilosobelman3114 upper end of average designer earns about 50k a YEAR. So yeah, you're missing a few steps if you think an unexperienced is gonna make 50k a month, first year out of college.
