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 🤌🏼
"In order to be a good entrepreneur you have to be a good teacher" boom. Tons of value here, Chris. Thank you!
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.
The most challenging always comes down to sales and account churn. Award winning agencies have a mindset other than the quantity game.
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
Directly for gains ✍️📈..
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.
It’s a good book from what I hear.
Incredible insights as always 👏 Thank you for the amazing work you do!
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 :)
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.
Thank you
so much vaue in this channel. love it.
The value I get from your videos Chris is unreal. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Alwasy love the videos made by Chris!
Thank you for adding value with your content!

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
Hey do you mind sharing some tips ? I’m trying move from freelance to agency
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
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!
so much value. Thank you. Seoul, South Korea

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?
That’s okay. Some will leave. But you make money when they’re there.
Brilliant framework! I will definitely implement this to grow my team and studio. Thanks, and I am grateful for teachers like you Chris!
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.
I do... We do... You do... Chris do!
Thank you Chris!
haha. good one.
LOL
Always bringing value!!

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.
Such a fan of this channel, always learning something new. Thank you Chris!
Succinct and helpful. Another Futur masterclass on delivering good info efficiently.
Thank you
You are so encouraging Chris. Thank you so much for breaking daunting concepts.
My pleasure
Epic vid! Right where we're at right now in our consultancy. Thanks for a timely, and super well put together vid Chris!
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 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.
Thanks, Chris. This is useful for me as I try to climb out from under a mountain of projects so I can actually work ON my business.
It’s a great feeling. Getting a virtual assistant (my student from another mastermind) was one of the best decision I made in 2022. Best of luck getting to your next milestone.

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 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.
Thank you.
One of your best videos! Life changing!
Thank you
Y’all don’t miss! I will be utilizing this format as a blueprint to scale my business. Loving the content you’re producing!
Just the video I needed, sometimes you have things in your head and it doesn’t translate, thank you!
So much value as always! Thanks The Futur! Hugs from Lisbon🙌🏽
All your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work.
I've been waiting for an answer to this question for months! Exactly what i needed, its like you knew haha, thanks Chris :)
Always enjoy listening to you break things down and this is no exception.
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.
Great as always, Chris!
Cheers!
Thank you Chris! Your team has taught me a lot!

This is gold. I'm just starting my creative agency and taking notes.
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!
Incredible value, as always. Thanks!
Always appreciate your videos and this was such an excellent breakdown.
Loved this one, Chris!
You folks have meant so much to my growth and ....Thank you!
