16:00 - "You are good enough when the client calls you. When they call you, you are already qualified for the job. Something you have done, your reputation, your body of work; Something you have done and got you the call to begin with, the game begins. Game is not about proving yourself to that person. But the person is already a good fit for you. So if you already have success in the work you have done, and people keeping praise upon you. Next time out, when anybody calls you including the same client, I want you to double the price. " 16:51 - " Don't take into consideration what's school you have been to, what degree you got, what city you live in, and how many awards you won; because none of that matters. IT'S THE INTERNAL BELIEF THAT MATTERS." Oh gosh!! Chris and Ben's sharing session is priceless. The Futur never want us to devaluing ourselves. This a true form of self-appreciation and self-love, and I think its one of the most important part of being an artist. We often get devalued by our society as they always want you to "lower the price" and say "It's easy to do that". But I am so grateful your videos teach so much about how to value yourself, because WE ARE WORTHY. Love you Chris, thanks for being who you are and change to the world !! This is truly a psychotherapy session that I don't deserve :')

Ben. You’re awesome and you’ll only get better as you continue to solidify you’re greatness. Please always share what you’ve learned. It’s extremely important. Chris, you are a real Guru. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you, then applying the lessons you and your team are sharing. I’ve of late have been feeling the Imposter Syndrome, and I’m 50. I’m now either relearning or learning for the first time, the many things I’ve missed during a decent career. But I need to remind myself, as Ben probably has, that he was born with raw talent. We just needed to learn the business and how to speak to it, so we could could sell it and be trusted. To be looked at as experts. Thank you guys. Keep up the good work, education and empathy. La Paz.

The interview is easy to listen to because of the soft and clear tone of the conversation. It's obvious that both of you respect each other. I guess one could tell that even without sound, because of the body language. KZbin is full of speeches and interviews were in the end you think.... I just wasted 30min of my time.

Like Ben, I didn't know what to charge clients and I let them decide what they wanted to pay. Ben is right, clients on Upwork want to pay pennies on the dollar for creative work that literally takes hours of your time because there are freelancers out there that will accept that. I'm going with the advice of "keep pushing the ceiling until you hit your limit". Thank you!

Confidence. It really all comes down to confidence. I appreciated that point on the "impostor syndrome". I've had some insecurities around that, because I don't have a certificate/diploma/degree in graphic design. My background and formal qualifications are in urban/city planning, but I've been a self-taught graphic designer for 14 years. This discussion really helped to give me some new perspective to move past feeling like an impostor or poser. Thanks!

The Futur I got into freelancing about a year ago. Took time off it as I got jealous of how well other great designers and agencies were doing and I took that very negatively. It's been a month since I revived my brand and found your channel. I watch the videos about pricing, confidence and CORE everyday. I'm still new to design game and my financial status atm does not allow me an investment into the CORE workshop and toolkit (paying off my parents bills). Studying the customer diagnosis and the trojan storage case study carefully It helped me literally say to myself: "you know what, f*ck it" and pop in a range with 4 zeros to potential clients. All of them had a bunch of designers in mind. First 3 rejected my offer as I proposed the diagnostic phase and my services and I was well above their budget - I honestly thought the rejections would drag me down to giving up again but I felt good about them. I know I was heading in the right direction and that the right client has not yet found me. So I am currently sticking to that price because I totally believe in myself and the way I can form a team. If I can trust a client to trust me, it may look like a risk to them but I'm so ready to tackle it. I feel like something just clicked. I stepped out of my (very big) comfort zone and took a risk, my mum doubts I'd get any clients asking "that much" and that I need a degree to back it up but my mentality has completely changed and I won't be stopping trying to hustle and inspire others. (it's 3:30am HAPPYY NEW YEAR!)

I didn't want to "lose my time" watching these two videos, but more of gained time instead of losing it, I gained confidence in at least trying to start to sell my knowledge. I never believed in me when it came to designing, because everything I ever created was always jury rigs, improvisations of how to do something that sometimes made everything harder and/or bizarre to work with. However, after watching these two videos, I want to at least try to have a start, even though I am kind of in this point. I'll learn what I need and don't know and become better, while finally having a start. Thank you so much for these videos!

Wow, really on point video. I'm going through the same things as Ben, and I feel like we have the same mind set and personality on charging people for work. I didn't major in design and have always had that impostor feeling ever since I started doing design seriously. And because of school, most of my friends are business and computer science majors, it's really great to see the mind sets of designers. When talking about making design into a successful business, a lot of videos out there will teach you how to earn passive income selling icons and t-shirts. It's refreshing to see this video taking another point of view, putting the emphasis on quality other than quantity.

Created my first logo a while back after I graduated and asked for a $500 price tag. The research that I had to do, the branding, the logo styles and it's application to merchandise through a few mock-ups and a month's worth of work; seems to have been a lot for that price range now. Watching this and a few videos prior, about valuing once work and having that confidence to go along with it, really does help all of us here trying to get our feet wet within this industry.

I follow your channel for a long time, I love your videos and the value they bring me, but these two videos are the best!! I feel totally identified with Ben, I just found out about Fiverr and I was thinking about joining that platform to get clients, I live in Bolivia and here people don't have much culture to make a logo for their brand, companies are very informal and they don't even pay $50, but after seeing Ben's life, he inspired me to want more and to be able to charge more for what I do, thank you for everything and God bless you for sharing your experiences.

I just found your videos today and have watched alot of them. This part 1 and 2, really spoke to me as im that modest guy. Doing other hand skills work for 20-30 hours and catching $150. I felt horrible but could have got more. Now im looking at logos and packaging and was trying to figure out pricing. Your videos really put a fire in my confidence and will hold my artwork in alot high regard than i have. Thank you!

I identify a lot with what you guys talk is amazing how little sometimes we believe in our work or what we do. And and how hard is to put price on our work. this help me to a lot of points congrats for sharing this.thanks a lot.

I'm a graphic designer/an aptitudinal artist/an artist from the womb! (LOL) I really, really appreciate this, The Futur... I no longer fear to ask the price my design work is WORTH! Tonight I happened to be on YT viewing hairstyle tutorials and since I'm subscribed to several graphic design tutorial channels, Ur video pops up on my "Recommended" list! It's like magic! Ur Part 1 & 2 videos were definitely meant for me to see! I've been contemplating going back to school to enhance my design skills and achieve a higher degree just so that I CAN CHARGE MORE FOR MY DESIGNS, albeit I already do great design work because my clients tell me! And I always feel like I've cheated myself in the deal! Hmmm.... (I just recently sold an awesome logo for $60! I even had to do some extra work on it and didn't even charge extra after the client offered. Because like Ben, I "set the price" for $60. SMH)

Super glad I've come across this video. I'm a student and have done one logo design so far for £50. The guy was a nightmare and had to revise the design so many times. After watching this I can really see my value to a client as a designer. And I'm going to keep this in mind in future. This information is so insanely helpful, my teachers at University are never going to help me as much as you guys are. Thank you

I showed this channel to my entire class today. I had to do a presentation about my plans when I finish my degree in a few months. I added in the value of this channel and the way it is helping me understand the business side of design. The lecturers thought it was great and asked me to send the links to the channel so they'll be checking you guys out, hopefully they'll implement some of this advice in the future. I'm from a small town in South Wales in the UK, and the fact that this channel is here helps so much. Keep the content coming, its awesome
