Running A Profitable Business (In 11 Minutes)

What is the difference between Cost, Price, and Value? As a teen, Chris had a silk screening company making custom t-shirts. Because he didn't understand the differences between Cost, Price, and Value, he wasn't making a profit off of his business, and either broke even on the orders, or lost money. When you understand how Cost, Price, and Value work together, you will make PROFIT, and isn't that why you're in business in the first place?

This was one of the best whiteboard sessions.

If this entire channel was a course then it would be worth thousands and I would still definitely buy. Don’t spend money anywhere else. The Futur brings so much value and information all for free and it’s just a YouTube search away. Chris Do and his team are hidden gems. ⚡️

[Pewdieguey]

Chris always puts my day in a winning perspective🙏🏽

[kevinwang]

learned so much from your contents, no words can represent my appreciation to you~

[cinnatoastwhut]

Got so much value from this! As a creative, often times I find myself in a shrouded cloud when it comes to the "financial stuff" so I always feel like I'm not able to explain it well to others (or even to myself). Your videos always help dispel those clouds, and the value I get from them help maintain a clearer state of mind. Thanks for sharing all the insight, per usual 🙏🏼

[FreshyFrsh]

Love this video and the info given. Thanks for always providing REAL value in each of your posts/content. Looking forward to watching the longer videos of this series.

[brunopereira]

this gives me flashbacks of that Nike video that introduced me to The Futur a few years ago.

[nativitymusic]

if youtube was this helpful when i was in college i would have learned a lot more and prevented a lot of mistakes along the way. thank you for this golden nugget!

[departinGCyborg]

Really appreciate excerpts of the lessons you're putting up regularly. Teaches a lot to us creators.

[saraiqbal]

This is a great primer for all recent grads from Design programs that don't usually teach the business of design. What you said at the end of this video is the most valuable advice that'll lead to a sale for sure.

[vladolareanu]

I am still amazed on how this amazing content is free for everyone to enjoy. cheers you guys!

[Jonathan_Solomon]

Recently discovering this channel has been a true blessing.

Thanks for the content, Chris! Nothing but quality stuff.

[anime-wotp]

Chris because of your videos I was able to quite my job that’s minimum wage and began to freelance and now converting to an agency still learning to become one of the best in the MENA region

[rudravisual]

I love Chris Do’s presentation and teaching style. I’m in a different field completely but wish I could adopt this approach.

[bharatnarang]

Love it
I keep coming back to these videos just to learn what otherwise feels like corporate bs

[zuhaibsiddiqui]

Awesome Chris! I really like this short video and "in 11 minute" good tactics, I will use it :)

[alyssadriscoll]

Absolutely life changing channel. Thank you for producing valuable content that's really changed the way I look at business.

[tothag]

Good video. Sometimes the customer might ask what the cost is because for them, it is a cost. Meaning it is going into their budget to do business. Internally, each company should know how they define and determine Cost, price and Value 👍

[howlbeast]

Content so good that I had to restart and take notes

[reneosias]

Probably the most useful lesson I learned

Amazing 🤩
Thanks for teaching us freely guys ☺️
