How bad do you want it?
Chris Do: Business Designer
Success requires all of you. I'll make the introductions. I help businesses grow their brands and brands grow their business.
I share thoughts on the business of design and creative entrepreneurship in the changing design landscape.
“Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.”
David Bowie
So how did we lose our way?
Why do stray from being our true selves?
My theory. We’ve been socialized to fit in, follow orders, and stay within the “norm”. And this is mostly the byproduct of the modern education system.
It wasn’t designed to create autonomous, free thinking and creative people. It was designed to build human computers to work in a factory or fight in trench warfare.
Completely anonymous and replaceable.
The 21st century doesn’t need factory workers. They’re replaced by machines and robots. We need thinkers. Philosophers. Artists. Poets.
This is your call to arms.
Be the person you should have been.
This is what it means to work on your personal brand—
To find your voice. Your identity. Your values. Your gift. To find yourself. Again.

In my teens I worried what classmates thought.
In my twenties I worried what my clients thought.
In my thirties I worried what my team thought.
In my forties I let go of the worry and started to focus on what I thought.
In my fifties I wonder what took so long.
Whose opinion matters to you?
Have you let go of what others think of you?

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.

You’re not underpaid because you’re unqualified.
You’re underpaid because you stopped investing in yourself.
fitnessofficial went from $150 an hour to $500, maybe $1,000.
Not by working harder.
By studying deeper.
Thousands of hours understanding people, communication, and how to transfer ideas.
That’s what separates a $150 expert from a $1,000 one.
Your competition isn’t more talented.
They just outlearned you.
The question is, what are you doing about it?
Why Charing by The Hour Doesn't Make Sense.

Your personal brand isn’t what you say.
From the moment you were born,
people started forming opinions about you.
Your friends see one version.
Your coworkers see another.
And that inconsistency?
That’s the problem.
Because trust isn’t built through what you say.
It’s built through what people observe—consistently.
Every time you show up the same way,
you build equity.
Every time you don’t…
you reset it.
If you want people to trust you,
you don’t need more content.
You need to show up the same way,
again and again.
