Chris Do—Personal Branding/Business Coach

You’re not under charging because you’re unskilled. You’re undercharging because you didn’t believe your worth MORE. She used to charge $1,500 an hour. Someone changed her beliefs around that. Now every 3 yeses, she raises her price. @jodie.cook_ Her work didn’t change. Her belief did. You don’t need permission. You need proximity to people who normalize what you think is impossible.

Have you noticed how many people treat their personal brands the way corporations do? Aren't they the same? They share similar principles, but they're not the same. Here are several reasons on why they're different. Corporate brands play it safe—they don't want to alienate audiences. After all, one bad decision could cost millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue. Corporate brands are often bland, soulless and impersonal. So, is this a model you want to follow in building your personal brand? Whereas vulnerability is a liability in corporate brands, vulnerability is an asset with personal brands. People don't want cookie-cutter, glossy perfection. They want unvarnished, unrehearsed, real and relatable. As Kendrick Lamar raps "… I'm so f*in' sick and tired of the Photoshop Show me somethin' natural like afro on Richard Pryor Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretch marks" What do you think? Much ado about nothing? Do you see the clear difference? #contentmarketing #brandstrategist #socialmediastrategy #brandmarketing #onlinepresence #digitalbranding #brandingtips #personalbranding #personalbrand #brandlab #brandstrategy

Guten Tag. We are headed to Munich next for— Futur Meet Up. Saturday May 16 4pm CEST Wir sehen uns dort. Just RSVP.

So... @thechrisdo & @ronsimpson hosted “How to WinWin in The Futur” at @thesocialhub Amsterdam City yesterday and we loved every minute of it. It literally only took 1 post to fill this room in a day. With some people flying in or driving for hours and linking up with the local Amsterdam community of creatives, entrepreneurs and go getters. What a crowd. Ron had the honor of kicking off with a micro marketing keynote, showing all the tips & tricks that can be done to pull of some magical results. After that, Chris & Ron had a little conversation about the future of this business. Where is it all going? What role will AI play in our toolbox? And why is co-working and co-creating in the real world so important when everything goes digital? And to finish it off? We got to see Chris in live action, kicking ass and taking names during his Fireside session that was 100% pure interaction with the audience. It’s unreal how sharp, smart and on point this man is while adding a little spice to it too. A special shoutout to @thesocialhub.netherlands team for hosting us in this great media studio and for all the yummy bites and drinks too. You really are the real deal when it comes to connecting community and creativity. Very grateful also to @danidkn for surprising us with a custom pair of WinWin x The Future sneakers. You’re amazing. And thanks to everyone that attended, helped, produced, filmed and shared of course. We couldn’t have done it without you. Especially @korakk , @martijnbeen and of course @bykirstenvansanten for the 📸. Cheers to many more of these. See you at the next one! Let’s WinWin together. @thewinwinagency @thefuturishere

AI can help you make almost anything. But the real opportunity is learning how to make better choices. Better ideas. Better references. Better questions. Better taste. Taste isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you develop by paying attention. Study great work. Notice what moves you. Build your visual library. Train your eye one reference at a time. Because the more you expose yourself to excellence, the easier it becomes to recognize it. Your taste can be trained. 🎥 @drigo_who

I’ve been using Adobe Express for the last few years, and it’s easily become one of my favorite go to tools for content creation. And… it keeps getting better making it easier for me to sketch, capture, design and publish wherever and whenever I am inspired… all in one unified platform. Assets and projects are automatically synced across devices, so I can start something on my phone, edit on my laptop, adjust and publish on my tablet. The best part? I have access to 30k+ professionally designed fonts, textures (making it easy to distress and age my design), vector design elements, and the entire Adobe stock library (all keyword searchable and available at your fingertips). That’s not to mention Firefly integration for easy background removal, and unlimited still and video generation (including partner models like Nano Banana Pro). Try Creative Cloud Pro and get 50% off for the first 3 months, and level up your content game. #adobepartner @adobecreativecloud

The “Matrix Method” to understanding money. Most people stress over the client dynamic because they view money as a concrete law of nature. But when you strip it down, like seeing the code in the Matrix, you realize it’s just an agreed-upon system. Learn to manipulate the rules of the game. #freelancetips #businessmindset #entrepreneurlife #psychologyofmoney #designyourlife

Say Your Price On The Call

[INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS DO] Ahead of his DK2026 talk, the iconic Emmy-winning designer and founder of The Futur talks AI, authenticity, creative business and the three skills our region needs next. Read the full conversation in @jutarnji.hr .

Modern life for entrepreneurs usually means long hours of isolated work which can lead to feelings of disconnection and burnout. Last week, I was invited to attend the Founders House in Santa Monica by @incmagazine & @capitalonebusiness . I got to listen to some inspiring founders (SweetGreen & Pattern) share their insights and breakthroughs. Some of which affirmed what I was doing, and others were ideas I’m eager to implement. As an introvert I’m always on the fence about in person events. But afterwards I’m always glad I went. Saw some familiar faces and made some new friends. Icing on the cake— #capitalonepartner #incfoundershouse #yournextmove

Comment TLRS and I'll personally DM you the full conversation with @thechrisdo , on creativity and entrepreneurship. “The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give it away.” – Picasso Then @thechrisdo added something brilliant to that: “You are the gift.” Now, that's a real insight for personal growth. Think about it - when you start seeing yourself as the gift, you become more intentional with your energy. You start valuing your voice, what your pursue, how your pursue something and even the way you care for yourself. No matter where you are in your journey - whether you’re starting out, building a company, leading a team, changing direction or still figuring it out - discover your gift and give it away, this is what's going to make your life (and bank account) rich! #podcast #purpose #personalgrowth
