"Yeah, but..." best quote. 😆

[cmonster]

Anyone else see a pattern of these video shorts of ending right after the person saying "But..." Nothing against Chris' advice, I just think it's damn funny.

[filmkreation]

Yeah, but.. [CUT] 😂
Great advice as always!

[talyahr]

For all the talk he does about never negotiating your price, this is refreshing

[elgrau]

A lot of people need a big wake up call thinking they can just go out on their own and run a business. If this is a question you have to ask, you don't have the experience or confidence to do it on your own. And that's all okay. Slow down, hone your skills and become an assassin. THEN go out and crush the game. Chris with the fire as always.

This guy provides some great insight on the business side of things in a straightforward manner.

[Keveta]

rule of thumb that i use is charge one and a half times my monthly living but... you adjust price based on what problem you are solving for the client...but...

[TheNefari]

the playlist will be called "Yeah But"
:D

[BillyOnYouTube]

I am loving the "Yeah. But..." endings! I love seeing the video in a perfect loop.
I was confused at first and I'm seeing some people in the comments express their confusion as well.
Maybe it would be better to record "Yeah. But (question)" at the very beginning of the clip and have Chris ask if the advice makes sense at the very end.
The video would still loop seemlessly but it wouldn't cut out at the very end and leave some people confused whether or not there is more to the video that they missed out on.

Whether u r starting or experienced i always believe your portfolio and number of followers on social media will have huge rule in deciding what to charge, if you really have a good understanding of just good vs great designs you will charge what you are worth finally, its all about self confidence and your personal / past work that should make client think this guy is worth more

[Michelle-qqsd]

Work that makes you feel happy and fulfilled.

Would love to watch the full version of this. What is it?

[lucidcannibal]

Futur's comment replies will be on fire yo!

[beforestartingabusiness]

Literally just used Chris's advice on negotiating/NOT NEGOTIATING on my price and made a few extra Thousands...thank you Chris. You'll be seeing me in your membership classes in theFutur😅 fr tho

[geewiz]

Can we just have a “Yeah, but” short series? 😂 I laugh but I’m quite serious 😆 👍

[creativeraven]

I like that these seem shot to loop. Listening twice brings it all together.

[nimeshkumar]

This is something that I was looking for thankyou so much Chris Do

[Flascoexp]

My understanding to the "but" endings are that no matter the advice there will always be disagreements to follow. At the end of the day its just a good recommendation.
