Chris... pound for pound, one of the most concise and spectacularly solid explanation given by any creative professional in my 17 years working in the creative services ecosystem!
I liked the way how the whole process is presented. I have been doing the same but what was missing is this '3 step process' framework. I read a book called The E-Myth, which is about 'why a business needs a system'. I believe this video and the book can be very helpful for any aspiring Entrepreneur who wants to start his own business. It is very easy to start a business, but it is very hard to maintain it.
I'm Tim Hally, I'm the Co-Founder of Munq Creative out of Massachusetts. I started this dream two years ago and I'm super zealous about helping others realize their vision. The Futur has been the single most important resource to growing my business. I'm at a stage where I'm learning that I need to teach others and this video came at the perfect time. I didn't realize how much f a bottleneck I was: delegating has been the single most important thing I have done!
Thanks Chris! I love these condensed, but not shorts-level content. I'm currently a solo freelancer trying to begin job outsourcing, very hard to let go but you adressed it many times and I know this is the next step
This is perfect timing, man. I've almost deviated from my vision and dreams of making our agency work, but I've decided to stick with it, and now I'm watching you again, Chris. You've been helping me take my career and the agency to another level. And this is coming from a high-school dropout kid who didn't have much going on other than art until life clicked! Just a few months before the world flipped with covid 😅. Much love, man. Keep up the excellent work, and may god bless you and your team for all you've been giving back to the community.
Been subscribed for years. This channel has helped us scale from a graphic design agency to a to a full blown business Institute. Sacramento, California
Michael, I’m definitely in the scale mindset. Last year I went from freelance to a more agency mindset. So this is right on time as I prepare for next year. Mance Multimedia, LLC in Anderson, SC
Don't. These companies make money selling you courses and info. Not agency work. Don't believe the lies man. Agency space is SOOOOOO freaking saturated is not even funny. Probably the most competitive space in the world. Why? Super super super low barrier to entry. No cost to startup except $10 for a domain and hosting. Everyone and their mother's grandma has an digital marketing agency
Been building and growing my agency, The Futur and it's affiliates + products have really been helping!! Recently had to make a few changes, but I and the company are growing... Slowly but surely. Thank you, from Durban, South Africa!
Really helpful, Chris. I've been following your channel for a while now, and been trying to include a few tips into my own consulting firm. I look forward to more content from you.
Extremely lucid, instructive and clear. Definitely exemplifies the adage at the beginning of the video about how creatives and business people are great teachers first and foremost.
Thanks Chris and the team. Amazing video editing and presenting skills. What to do to prevent the 4 phase, when they start theirs own agency after learning everything?
The Futur is great! Their concepts have helped me go from hobbyist to on track owning my own company in the new year. They’ve opened my eyes to the business side of art and I appreciate their thoughtful videos.
I’ve been watch these podcasts since 2020 and I can say I’ve gained so much more value from implementing the actions taken from watching these. Thanks to everyone over at the Futur
I did this exact thing, and then she got poached by a bigger agency just as she was becoming autonomous enough to manage accounts herself. 250 hours of one-on-one training down the drain. The other agency could offer more money, a nicer office, bigger clients... If she'd asked me for advice I would have told her to go and work there, as she was in the early stages of her career and it was a level up for her. But those other factors the other agency could offer are missing from this advice. As an agency, you are competing in an employer market.
My name is Alida, from Cameroon. I don't have much to say, just love what you do. I'm not even from the graphics field, I'm in my 5th year marketing school and your content is applicable to every field 🥰
I like how your video intro was almost identical to those "Grow your startup to $1M fast with this simple process I outline in my $600 online class!" scams, but then you dive into a pure concentrated value delivery.
I'm an illustrator/designer in New Hampshire working for the govt and hoping to build my own business. Your videos are very eye opening and inspiring. Thank you for sharing such valuable information!
I really like how you put the core of your business around your persona and how you like to work, your own comfort. The step out of comfort zone in your case is bringing people in your comfort zone.
I'm an accountant and work with startups. One that I was an early adopter with had been so great that I've already been actively endorsing to all other accountants I deal with. So much so, that I'll be doing that with then at a conference. When the product is that good and the fit is right, it just works.
Hey, I'm moe from Cairo Egypt, this video made me understand that am not ready yet to pass on the torch... there is so much more to learn out there before teaching!
Hi, this is Dee from South Africa. Great agency and the team, I've stared following your work guys since I have started a consultation company most recently. I am learning a lot from your content. Big Ups!!!!!!
Very comprehensive and condensed, thanks a lot! The final part of the video cannot be neglected: let those young people go, don't be jealous and don't put your sticky fingers on the client during this process. The client and the young follower will even respect you more and will reach out to you only when things get interesting.
Good point about how to multiply yourself. Clearly you are supposed to hire people to do some of the work, and the principle "I do, We do, You do" will enable you to pass on knowledge and also filter people on their competence area and their dedication level. I remember reading these things from other sources, but didn't put the pieces together like this. Thank you!
Love this form of content! Thank you Chris and The Futur Team! I've been watching videos from The Futur for 6 years now and it's amazing to see how they've adapted their content over the years to cater to their followers/subscribers forms of learning. From the long-form 1hr conversation/presentation style videos, to the mid-form tutorial/explainer/video essay style videos like these, to now shorts. The Futur arrived where they are today, becoming the model for all design agencies, because they built a culture where personal growth & development is at the top of their manifesto - not only for their clients, but for us the audience and, most importantly, their team. They should be the North Star for not only design agencies but any business looking to scale and grow. Thank you for the impact you're making :)
I've recently moved up into a management position at my job and leading my first team. This is incredibly helpful on how to better help my team become independent.
Thanks a lot Chris... I've just started my design career and I've been working in an agency in Nairobi Kenya for a year now. What you've just said has enlightened me on how to also grow as a junior employee in regards on how I can work my way up to whatever I want to be as my career and skills develop. Ty Chris.
Thank very much Chris. You know what's becoming more and more clear.. It's that what you've been explaining on your channel, is what's all around us when we're either in our homes or outside in public or nature.
This video is so important to understand. As someone who is still in the "shadowing" phase of their career (in a large corporate setting) I appreciate the managers who take time to follow these principles because it gives me a chance to learn how to think like a leader/manager/executive. Great content as always.
I recently introduced my team your company and content. We are a digital design lab focused on the rapidly evolving web3 space. This channel has helped tailor my process over the last two years. Thank you for all you put out here.
This is extremely useful perspective, Chris. I especially appreciate the part about having your prospects silently shadow you. Definitely something I'll implement straight away.
As a recent college graduate and someone looking to find a role as a Jr Designer I still found value in this video as you touched on best practices for people in that role too.
I'm struggling to find in myself, that "sauce." But every time I listen to yopu and your team communicate, it feels that much closer to being understood. Thanks for videos like these, Chris. Applicable, insightful direction.
This transcends to any other agency as well. Like me, I'm launching a Virtual Assistant agency in January 2023 and this video just helped me understand where to focus my energy on and what not to do to move forward much faster. Thanks, Chris!
crazy, Always saw your videos in my recommended but never clicked on them. i've been looking for this kind of knowledge and man is this exactly what i was looking for. Goat
Lloyd Carter from Leicester, UK. Love the video. Ive used the i do, we do, you do method before, without your level of insight and guidance. This video has massively helped to get more out of the method. Thank you!
This was so educative and eye opening for one like me trying to grow his business and getting to train others too in his video production company. Thank you so much for this.
I always remember when we were in a live stream and we were waiting for suscriptions to go 50.000 (or 100.000 maybe), I rembember guys joking about suscribing and unsuscribing just playing with Chris. And Now look where you guys are! And as always... BEST INSPIRATIONAL CONTENT right here, Thanks!
Wow. This is really good. I hope to be able to build a team like you do. In 5 years time, I want to have built a confident and winning team. Thank you once again Thank you for sharing. This is very insightful.
Chris... pound for pound, one of the most concise and spectacularly solid explanation given by any creative professional in my 17 years working in the creative services ecosystem!
Took the words out of my mouth 🤌🏼
Whole lotta corporate word jumble omg...
"In order to be a good entrepreneur you have to be a good teacher" boom. Tons of value here, Chris. Thank you!
"I do. You do. We do". Such a simple, practical and excellent way to grow people.
I do. You do. We do. Chris Do.
The most challenging always comes down to sales and account churn. Award winning agencies have a mindset other than the quantity game.

It’s a good book from what I hear.

That’s okay. Some will leave. But you make money when they’re there.
The Futur is great! Their concepts have helped me go from hobbyist to on track owning my own company in the new year. They’ve opened my eyes to the business side of art and I appreciate their thoughtful videos.

Thank you.
The value I get from your videos Chris is unreal. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Every time I see Chris talking about leadership I feel it my soul, like a calling if you will. You are doing GOds works, my friend!

Hi
I feel like I've been stuck here for ages. This is the light in the tunnel I've been waiting for. Thanks.
Listening from New Brunswick Canada
Thanks for your knowledge ♡
I really like how you put the core of your business around your persona and how you like to work, your own comfort. The step out of comfort zone in your case is bringing people in your comfort zone.
This is gold. I'm just starting my creative agency and taking notes.
I'm an accountant and work with startups.
One that I was an early adopter with had been so great that I've already been actively endorsing to all other accountants I deal with.
So much so, that I'll be doing that with then at a conference. When the product is that good and the fit is right, it just works.

This goes beyond Design. It applies to any business! Many things learnt and reinforced here. Thank you!
