A nine-week, bootcamp-style coaching program designed to help you attract the right clients and grow your business.
Next Bootcamp Kicks Off Fall 2023
And yet, great businesses are built. How do they come out on top?
When you’re building something bigger than you, that’s when the growing pains kick in. You feel like you’ve hit a wall—hard. You’re stumped. Every hurdle you’ve crossed before seems like pure luck, and every obstacle in front of you is plastered with Stop Signs. What's keeping you from getting back up?
Where do you even find clients? Why haven’t clients found you? Your website is up, you’re publishing content, and you’re networking at every opportunity. You’ve crossed your T’s and dotted all of your I’s to put yourself out there, but for some reason, it’s just not working.
Revenue isn’t growing—or worse, it’s staying in the same place, month over month. The growth you’ve sought just isn’t coming to fruition. But how? You have clients, projects, and you’re still in business, so you must be doing something right. What could you be missing?
You’ve tried to go for bigger, better projects, but that’s proven to be easier said than done. Other creative entrepreneurs, who provide the same services as you, are charging double, triple, or even quadruple what you’re charging, and landing those projects. Does the thought of attempting the same feel paralyzing?
Dream clients are either worlds apart or just unapproachable. What do you have to do to break into that next tier of clients, work with big-name brands, and separate yourself from your competitors? You know that it’s possible for you, but how can you tell if the first step is even the right step?
Finding and keeping great people has been taxing. Maybe you’ve met candidates who look great on paper but are the complete opposite at work. You know there are team players out there who are talented, have a vested interest in your business, and mesh well with your mission. You just don’t know how to refine your search.
Every roadblock under the sun—you name it—I’ve crossed paths with it. From hitting revenue ceilings to feeling trapped in a dying industry. From struggling to finally hire a great team, to having to let go over half my staff. I’ve been there. I’ve felt stuck, too. But throughout all of these challenges, there’s one thing I’ve learned that can prevent all of it from happening to you. One secret to growing your business with as few bumps as possible. It’s the one thing I credit my success to, and I’m eager to share it with you.
Going from where you are now to where you want to be is as simple as building a roster of great clients. But it’s not easy.
Imagine working on the projects you’ve always wanted. Or consistently landing high-ticket clients and not worrying an ounce about revenue each month. Where your confidence may have been lacking before, it’s now sky-high. Dream clients that look like Nike, Snapchat, Google, or even Coca-Cola don’t seem so out of reach. And a portfolio you thought only a global agency could have, is bursting with great work made by you and your team. All of this is possible with better clients, and a bullet-proof process to land them.
What you put out into the world comes back to you. Every word on your website, element in your brand’s identity, and piece of work in your portfolio all need to match in order to attract the right clients. When you make it easier for potential clients to find you, you’ll see a steady, consistent influx of quality leads—and get this—you can be choosy.
There's nothing more painful, more soul-crushing than sending a proposal to your dream client, only to watch the opportunity completely slip away. You want to make sure you can close the deal, so the next time your dream client walks through the door, they become your client.
Cashflow is your business’s lifeline. If you’re not pricing your projects accordingly, your business will take a hit. Value-based pricing, as opposed to charging by the hour or per project, is what will make all the difference in growing your business. When you’re profiting from every job, your revenue increases with each passing month, and you can scale smoothly.
Great clients expect great work. The quality of work you deliver, your ability to meet deadlines, and your communication with the client all impact the relationship from the start of the project all the way to the end. Make sure you and your team have the processes in place to keep all the moving parts aligned and on track.
Over two decades in the industry, plus tried and true processes, systems, and mindset tips.
You can navigate this roadblock on your own, but our experience is here and available for you. We want you to learn from our mistakes so you don’t lose the same amount of money, or miss any one-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Either path you take won’t be easy. But we’ve posted every red flag, warning sign, and instruction manual throughout this entire program.
This is what makes Business Bootcamp unlike any other entrepreneurial program out there. We’ve actually been there, done that, and have the awards, certificates, and clients to prove it.
Catch yourself every time your internal narrative turns negative, and build an unshakeable confidence.
Reel in the high-quality leads you want. Position your business as one clients won’t want to work without.
Speak clearly and confidently with clients and team members to negotiate, delegate, and always be on the same page.
Your client doesn’t always know what they need. You’ll be able to surface their biggest challenges to provide the best possible solution.
Finally know what to charge. Understand what value-based pricing can do for your business, confidence, and quality of your work.
The days of surrendering in negotiations are gone. With the right negotiation tactics and active listening, you’ll turn every objection into a ‘yes.’
Establish an airtight closing and onboarding process to help your clients feel comfortable and excited to work with you.
Make hiring a one-and-done, stress-free deal. Find talented people who align with your vision, mission, process, and personality.
From feeling stuck, to the continuous pursuit of what’s possible.
Our Bootcamp alumni consist of designers, architects, strategists, and creative professionals from around the world.
This course has been a game-changer. Amazing teachers and group of students who I am keen to stay in touch with. For me the positioning, diagnosing and delegation parts have been instrumental in me already making positive changes, applying and seeing results.
Reached an agreement with our first client in our new target industry. Diagnosed and had the value conversation...No pushback whatsoever. It felt really good to put the things we’ve practiced into play. It was validation that we’re doing the right thing, and that this hard work pays off if we keep pushing through.
We landed our first strategy and design project over $10k. I would have never had the confidence to land something like this before. It ended up with us working through a few client objections when they were comparing us with another agency, but I kept all of the Bootcamp stuff in action and it worked so well. My whole mindset is changed and I'm never turning back!
For all these successes to be happening is in a sense a miracle...I’m more confident than ever in my own skills & abilities, which translates into more productive & fun conversations with current & prospective clients, vendor partners…just about everyone! Business Bootcamp has been truly transformative for me. Besides starting my own company 10 years ago, it's the best business decision I've ever made.
Positioning has been nailed. Successfully and consistently selling strategy. Successfully and consistently being seen as an expert and not as a commodity. People are starting to take my consultancy seriously.
I was able to identify bad clients and send them away using the techniques from the course. It seems like a tiny win, but I used to take any project that came my way; now I'm able to be a bit more selective.
Thanks a million guys, the transparency in everything that you guys have done to get to where you are has been so valuable! The Q&A sessions have been great and the honesty you bring to each session is so much appreciated. Thank you!
Having just completed this, I highly recommend y’all jump on this. It's easily 20x what I paid for the course – meaning I charged that much more than I would have for the same projects in the past. All under 10 weeks of starting the course. Stop reading this and sign up.
Invest in it. The concepts, strategies, and insight you will learn require you to show up and put in the work. It will take more than money to master them.
We can’t guarantee overnight success (but let’s be real—that doesn’t happen for anyone). What we can promise you is that your investment in Business Bootcamp will save you more time, money, and effort in the long run. The material we share in each module took us decades of bumpy roads, skinned elbows, and financial flops to learn. This is what we want you to avoid.
You can’t pay someone to do your pushups for you, but a good trainer will keep you from getting hurt. If you’re ready to take your business to the next level, it’s time to commit.
Eight modules, nine weeks, nine coaching calls with The Futur™ CEO, Chris Do, and COO, Ben Burns. Welcome to Bootcamp!
We recognize that slow and steady often wins the race. But there are times when slow and study are trumped by massive action and accountability. Business Bootcamp was designed to do just that so you see results sooner rather than later. Because sometimes in business, being a hare pays off (without the extended naps).
Even if you tend to work at a tortoise's pace, Business Bootcamp will push you to make the changes your business needs to not just survive but thrive. And after the nine weeks are over you'll still have lifetime access to the online alumni community on Circle and the coaching materials. When you need advice, coaching, or general questions, our alumni are always there for you.
You read that right! Sign up for Business Bootcamp before June 3, 2022 and you’ll also get one year in The Futur™ Pro Group after you’ve graduated from the program.
That’s 365 additional days of coaching from Chris and his team of subject-matter experts, along with hundreds of hours of archived Pro Group Calls.
JOIN THE WAITLIST
Bootcamp isn’t for anyone. But if your business is checking off these boxes, we want to see you in the program.
What’s the value of one new client to your business? What’s the value of being able to close at a higher percentage? Imagine for a minute what it would feel like to be more confident talking to clients, to be more respected, and to be paid what you’re worth. What price would you put on that? How much longer do you want to wait? How much longer can you afford to wait?
All this said, if the cost of Business Bootcamp is 10% of your annual income or more and you have less than two months of financial runway, this is not the program for you. This program is for agencies ready to scale that have the time and money to invest.
Well, the ProGroup is a smaller investment, and a smaller commitment. And for good reasons. The Pro Group is like drinking from a fire hydrant. All the content is there, you decide what to watch, what activities to pursue, and how much you participate. The Pro Group is also pretty big- in the hundreds and approaching 1,000 members by the month. While we love the Pro Group, it’s just not going to give you the access to Chris Do that we know you want. And with so many choices of content in the Pro Group to choose from, how do you know you’re going after the strategies and tactics that will really move your business forward?
Now Bootcamp is a highly organized, step-by-step, linear roadmap to success in a small, intimate setting with Chris Do and Ben Burns. You’ll move through the program in a cohort of driven entrepreneurs who will be going after the same goals as you. If you have a question, it will be answered. If you have a challenge, Chris and the gang will be there to help you tackle it.
How much do you value something that’s free? How do you know if what you’re consuming online is what your business really needs to crush the goals you’ve set? How often do you take massive action because of a YouTube video? Because there’s a big difference between binging Chris Do’s content and having him hold you accountable for actually making progress and receiving weekly coaching around your particular needs. And if you think his free content’s good, just you wait until you experience what’s behind the paid wall of Business Bootcamp.
Do you earn more that $2 million a year? Do you close more than 50% of your leads? Do you know how to question to understand, bid correctly, and lead a sales conversation? Do you know how to smoothly overcome objections like, “you’re too expensive,” “you don’t have the experience doing what I need,” or “your team’s too small”?
If you answered no to any of these questions, Business Bootcamp is not too basic for your business.
Business Bootcamp is a nine-week professional growth program. Each of the eight modules are unlocked every week. You'll go through the material on your own, meet up with an accountability partner to review homework, and join a live coaching call with Chris Do and Ben Burns each Friday at 8AM PDT.
There’s a kickoff orientation call on 6/24/22 at 8:00AM PST with Ben Burns and Chris Do and the coaching calls start on 7/1/22 at 8:00AM and last for nine weeks.
You’ll also be a part of our Bootcamp community on Circle. There, you’ll get to connect with your coaches and peers for advice, guidance, accountability, and much more.
We're confident in the growth the Business Bootcamp can help you achieve, that's why we offer a 14-day money back guarantee. If after watching one module you're not convinced it's right for you, just shoot us an email at support@thefutur.com within a 14-day window of purchasing. Let us know the module you watched and why it's not right for you, and we'll process your refund. Your feedback and your success are of the utmost importance to us.
Business Bootcamp is not for everyone. But if you and your team are struggling to land new clients, meet and surpass revenue goals, get organized, or build the business you’ve always wanted, you might be in the right place. If you’re still unsure whether it’s right for you, click here to take a brief quiz and find out.
We aren't going to sugar coat this. Business Bootcamp is work. Along with the eight live coaching calls and over 12 hours of video content, you'll need to set aside at least 2-3 hours to a week to complete the homework and meet with your accountability partner.Once you dig in to the modules, you might also find that your website needs a makeover or your service offerings need some fine tuning. Think of it as necessary business development work that you'd need to do anyway- only this will lead to better clients in the long run.
Business Bootcamp is not a band-aid. It's a program that requires your time, effort, and energy to improve your business. Every business is different, and the challenges you and your team are facing can't be solved with a template. The problems you're facing can be solved when you put in the work.
We believe by the time you're finished with all 8 modules, you will have more clarity and confidence to tackle areas of your business you might not have before. This masterclass won't give you all the answers to build a solid roadmap, but it will give you the guidance and encouragement to find them on your own.
