In December of 2020 we had a HUGE milestone - We hit 1 million subscribers here on YouTube. It has been a long journey to get here, and Chris reflected on that journey recently on the Clubhouse app. In his talk, he went over nine guiding principles that got us to a million subscribers. However, these principles can really be used to grow your audience on ANY social media app.

If you have the Clubhouse app, you can connect with Chris at thechrisdo, where he'll be giving more talks in the future.

1. Put in the work, show up every day, be patient,
2. The longer you play the game the better you get, persist to resist
3. Ignore those who do not want your success, don’t give a stranger the ability to affect your life
4. Try new things, make mistakes, don’t be afraid to fail, failure is an opportunity in disguise
5. Done is better than perfect, perfectionist is a form of procrastination and is the enemy of execution, small steps
6. Be generous, help others
7. You are a poor judge of your own talents
8. Plans are overrated, paralysis by analysis
9. What makes you weird makes you wonderful, being different is a competitive advantage

    The Futur speaks the truth... All day... Everyday!!!
  • @brokenstudiotv
    This is one of those videos that after I watch, I just sit and think about the amount of value I just got in a short amount of time and feel blessed. Thanks TheFutur and Chris for all the amazing value you provide, God Bless!
  • @krisang_co
    Listening to you has made me be okay with talking normally and calmly. Unlike a lot of creators I see who are super excited while talking on camera. I can't.
  • @BrendanEvan
    Man I need these as a reminder on the wall, tattooed on my arm, everywhere
  • @UCCAWiditha
    I'm a musician and I truly think Chris Do's knowledge isn't confined to the design industry only. It can be applied to all areas of expertise. I'm thankful for The Futur.
  • @spmxo
    These words are not just for 2022 but for everytime.❤
  • on point no. 7 " you are a poor judge of your own talent" i recommend anyone to look up "obvious to you, amazing to others by Derek Sivers interesting point he is making, also great video !
  • @2mann1maus
    1:34 I come home after school and check your channel every day. I love you bro
  • @KamoreeLove
    0:53 Honestly just started this video and hearing that is what I truly believe I need. To really have fun to learn and STAY AWAY FROM THE NUMBERS. For beginners like myself making a post or a video in the back of my mind it numbers How many people will like this? Will I gain more subscribers or followers? Etc But the real question is am I having fun?
  • @flynndarko8684
    Mentoring at it's best. What resonates with what I hear from you is "focus on giving value and it will be reciprocated" ( in money, love etc) Trying to live it out. 💪
  • @NikkoNantone
    This couldn't have come at a better time for me. Just gotta start ⚡
  • @Paul_Greenwood
    “Move in a direction, adjust as you go” - did you know the space shuttle was off course over 99% of the time going to the moon? It was the small adjustment overtime that got the astronauts there and back. (Must of read that somewhere). Great tips Chris, I never tire of your teaching and wisdom. All the best. Paul 😎
  • @davidp9316
    Great pearls here for anyone doing something they've never done before. I'm not a designer and I will benefit from this. Thank you The Futur! I've been following for 2.5 years now!
  • @PelayoAF
    Who is here for the long term! 🤡🥲🥲🥰? Thanks so much for this advice, I feel its things that we “know” but its not until you practice them that you KNOW them. This really encourages me to keep going.
  • @sen4714
    Very true! When you stop mistaking failure with dissapointment & fear, and in stead see it as an opportunity to grow. Then nothing can stop you!
