Thank you TMS. I've started my video production business around two years ago. I remember watching your videos and getting inspired every time! Nowadays thanks to you, I have brand deals with companies like Lamborgini!!! I'm so grateful!

100% agree on the "don't give a discount today for the promise of more business in the future". They NEVER come through for you. NEVER. Some people just seem to do this to new businesses to see if they'll be a sucker and fall for a low ball offer. Don't be a sucker.

Thanks for the tips! It's awesome that there are 3 of you guys working to grow your company. I'm an army of one trying to go from a freelance to a video production company. Sometimes I wish I had a business partner but I'm learning a lot each day!

[ChuckTaylorixonmedia]

I appreciate the information and the promise of more work is exactly what happens to me and why I don't budge on the price. Because the bills don't stop while I'm waiting for the prospect of future work

These are soooo good. Landed in my notifications at the right time!

[sweetie_piexox]

I love all your videos! especially the photo battles you guys do. I am wondering if you could film a video about testing out an ilford sprite camera

All great tips....but would have tossed 1 big one in as well...get *everything in writing!* Don't know if you've come across it yet but eventually you may end up having to drag someone into court for lack of payment or some other issue (hopefully you don't). In the end...all you have is what's in the contract and spelled out. Knew early on you guys would work with some big named companies....keep up the great work! Oh, and another tip (from previous video) for a 'side-hustle' (and making some extra$$). Easy money if someone needs a "2nd Shooter' and a wedding gig (wife's been crushing those

Jesus...I can't wait to try this...I'm trying to get out of my box but...I'm nervous...maybe next year..😊😉👍
