    "The better your work, the less you have to market and sell" 8:20
    Even though I'm nowhere near the peak of my career yet, I realised people started reaching out to me themselves when I put in more effort to improve my craft.
    This is very true!

    Whenever I see a new The Futur video like this, I click and watch it 3 times in three ways:
    1st - Hear the content/conversation for the first time and spot the valuable parts
    2nd - Take notes and absorb the lessons more
    3rd - Find inspiration with the colors, fonts, and video elements for my own content
    As always, thank you Chris and the team! 😎

    The only thing I don't like about videos from the Futur is that you can't binge-watch them. Each video is packed with so much value, that you have to sit down with a pen and notepad; pause, write, ponder and scheme. Best thing I've discovered in the past year.

    This is a phenomenal video. Saved to favourites to watch a few more times. I want to develop “supreme confidence”. I’m coming from a place of lack and bad habits. To shake the stagnation and to start building the first blocks of confidence I feel I need to work on my body. To start feeling stronger and in shape. I’m also listening to/reading the work of Joe Dispenza to help shift mindset and perspective. From this I’m learning that negative thinking can be an addictive habit.
    A big takeaway from this video is actually dedicating the time to do the work. I have more to say - but I will leave it here for now. Thank you.

    I have definitely found it to be true that re-wording the way we approach the client about your services without asking them for the sale. I can see the anxiety in my new prospects' eyes. It looked like they wanted to say yes to whatever the ask may be. At the very least accept some good value that doesn't feel salesy. Empathetic Selling is the only way to win deals more effectively

    I really loved this video. I recently actually spoke to a client and I thought I was about to get them and everything seemed good and they agreed to everything but they didn't get back to us. My partner said the person who we spoke to was not the person who makes the decision whether they take us on or not. How do we communicate to someone who isn't the contract "decider"?

For the brain it is more save to remain in the realm of positive future dreams than actually introducing the risk of future failure. Thanks for all the business advise!

    I AM TO THE ROOF RIGHT NOW WALLAH 😂.
    I tried to launch 2 businesses and failed, but now I am on my 3rd trial and OH MY GOD Chris you always pick the best words to touch the no BS points which answers all my questions, thank you from the bottom of my heart buddy.
