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.

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

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 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"?

Guys, you’re wrong ………. People are neurologically wired to see the future more positive than it actually is. Committing means the risk of failure in the future. This provoces subconsious anxiety. 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!
