    Living in Brazil, it's not that "I do work for cheaper prices, so I wanna get more clients!". I work cheap because I still can't reach bigger clients and get paid on a "first world level" of paycheck.
    It has been a work in progress, I'm currently building my own support, so I can work properly and then grow my business. The Futur has brought a new light in my life since I discovered this channel, and I'm thankful for that.

    I am not your target market. I think. Found you guys when searching for logo design rules after I drafted some passive-income-idea course content (completely different field) and decided to brand it up. And now I'm playing with Illustrator and perspective exercises and thinking about typography. Thank you?!! (Also -- Robert: Seriously awesome stuff. Make time. You can do it!).

    My Dad is in his 70's and he is still an active professional photographer creating images that generate passive income. And even though he makes more money from his actual photography images, there are young photographers who have a large following on social media but don't actually make an income or much of one from their actual photography BUT because the younger photographer is doing tutorials on youtube they have a large following and therefore would be able to sell actions, templates etc. You know that many of the photographers that even have time to post images to social media are not being hired for their photography is why they have that much time to be so prolific with on social media.

    38:14 I can tell you, working in vfx, that novelty wears off rather quickly too. A movie becomes just another project too, and yes, even if you work on a star wars movie. I totally agree with you. I've spent weeks and months working on shots, which had may be 1-2 seconds of screen time in the end. No one cares, it's not important.

    Dude, that "Mental Fitness" idea you're developing is genius! Success or failure first start in the mind. This looks like a great way to train your mind to go on the right path. As a fellow designer, I know it's tough to show something before you've polished it to perfection, but this concept looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

    I was taken into your videos while searching videos about learning graphic design. It took me some time to understand who you were and what you were doing though and fully watch a video. Maybe because English is not my mother tongue and also because I didn't want to spend too much time watching videos on the internet unless they are absolutely worth it. Now I take the time to fully watch every new videos you add on youtube. You are very prolific!

  • @davidweeks1997

    Nice and thank you both. Time is why merchants make more than workers. Their income isn't tied to time, but adoption. The short version of this is to manufacture "widget" product that is in demand, affordable, and easy to buy.
    Intellectual property is a replicable service work, that is widgetized for ready sale. Books, programs, art, music, video-these are our common examples. Each are subject to the limitation of their media. As new media emerges, new means of distribution present themselves, the Internet being our greatest contemporary example.
    In economic terms, we compare fixed costs versus marginal costs. Fixed costs over time tend to reduce to zero. Marginal costs overt time tend to blow up and never approach zero. We can apply the same to revenue.
    Iterative work is a fixed revenue, which in the long run reduces to zero. In this case we have produced a thing to meet a need. It is a one to one relationship.
    Widgeitized work is a marginal revenue, which in the long run blows up to what you call passive income. In the widgetized case, we have produces a thing to meet ongoing needs. A one to many relationship. And so long as there is that need, and your solution well meets that need, you will continue to earn "rents" on that solution.
    While the widget is complete, and does not require further work, letting people know about it is the unavoidable marginal cost of doing business, you have to promote your solution. With that in mind, recognize that even passive income does require regular (marginal) work, but results do not have a linear relationship to your time, and in fact, promotion often does not even involve your personal attention, once produced.
    All of this is a restatement of the obvious, in fancy terms. But for me, I am prone to overlook the obvious, so it helps me to review the obvious from time to time.

    Another amazing vid! I hope Robert does something with his skills as he is super talented. I'll definitely be looking out for the check in at January.
    I have a question, "Do you think as a graphic designer you are needed to go to a university to get a bachelors degree?" I only have an associates in graphics but I want to improve and become more confident in my skills. Recently my focus has been on purchasing courses online as it is easier and more accessible but somehow not going to study my bachelors I feel like I'm missing out on something important. I love and enjoy graphic design and arts and I only want to give and produce my best. I want to start my own business but I also want to study and I feel like I am running out of time.
    P.S. I also watched the vid on Pricing your work which change my perspective on it 100% ... I can't say I've been putting it into practice as yet but it is a part of my plan. Watching that first video made me watch more and then I subscribe and its been a great help.

    • @RobertHranitzky
      @RobertHranitzky 5 років тому +2

      Hi and thank you for the kind words. I‘ll try to help here a bit, as I get asked this question quite a lot after talks and such. In my opinion, it is not mandatory to have a degree in graphic design - no one is going to bother about what grades you had, which courses you took or what kind of degree you have if you are not doing and showing good work. I certainly helps for some credibility, yes, but the main thing that matters is your work, your attitude and you. I can‘t speak for people that didn‘t study, but I know quite a few that became tremendous designers even though they did not study. During my time in university, I did enjoy learning a lot of basic things, especially things that are hard to teach in tutorials. But what I liked most was the team work, the connections and the friendships that were established. Not to mention the good (social) times while studying :) Even today some of these connections lead to projects.
      That said, I would generally recommend going to university AND learning by yourself on top (I did that too, just by books as there was no UA-cam, etc back then). So it is actually a pretty crazy time now, having all these wonderful resources like The Futur and such accessible at your fingertips.
      In terms of age: I don’t know how old you are, but I think it is never too late for anything if you believe in it.
      What are The Futur‘s thoughts on this?

      @@RobertHranitzky thank you for the honest reply. I do want to go to a university but at the moment the funds are not available. It's a work in progress. I do agree that in school that is where you make networks and meet like minds as I too have met many others with various skills at my community college. I am still young as I am only 22 so in truth I do have time but I don't want to let myself become complacent. For now I'll keep taking online courses like Udemy that offers a certificate. Once again thanks for advice. :)

    About ideas coming to you in the shower: Here comes the answer:
    Theo Compernolle explains this in his book "Brainchains: your thinking brain explained in simple terms".
    We have 3 brains: the lizard brain, the active thinking brain and the archiving brain. It's the archiving brain that produces the "shower ideas". When your lizard brain isn't reacting to a life threatening event or to clickbait and your active thinking brain isn't active, then your archiving brain gets to work. Your archiving brain starts to connect every new information to the allready present information in your long term memory. It's the process of shifting info from your short term memory to your long therm memory. This activity is happening every single time the other two brain systems aren't working. A clear example is when you are dreaming. A dream is nothing more and nothing less then your archiving brain trying to find connections between what happened the previous day and what you allready know in your life. That's why you have sometimes weird dreams.
    If you realize this, then you realize that your archiving brain needs time to process new information. Theo Compernolle tells you to stop whatching your phone and social media stream when you have a break. It's better to do some meaningless stuff or walk around or drink a coffee or have fun with your friends. During this leisure time your archiving brain gets the time to process the new information you've got before the break. Be it in a course, be it in a meeting, be it doing grafic work.
    The best ideas come when you don't think about them. Don't think.
    e.g.: Try this: Take a problem in your mind. A problem that you seek a solution to. And then stop. Stop thinking about it. Do something else. No matter what. But not a thinking activity. So no social media. While you do this other activity, your archiving brain seeks the solution. And after a couple of minutes: tadaa: the solution pops in your mind.
    Hope this is helpfull to someone. It surely helped me.
    And to Chris and his team: keep up the good work! You're truely inspiring!
    Regards, Kurt Kerkaert.
