Ari knew to get the right support to really grow her business, she had to leave Bali. Cue the head trash! Before she could get too far down the “what if?” path, she caught herself and deliberately chose a different strategy - more along the lines of “Let's try it and see what happens!” If all the things you're scared of failing at (like starting over in another country!) are keeping you at a standstill, this one's for you. Can't-Miss Moments From This Episode:Confession: I've gotten some surprisingly good business inspiration from TikTok. Before you judge, hear me out. This may be what you need to drop the self-judgment and keep going. Ari avoided the numbers side of her biz like the plague. It took one little question she couldn't answer to make her wanna bust out the calculator. Could you be a closet numbers geek and not know it? Bad news: growing pains and challenges will keep coming. Good news: You WILL figure it out if you keep going… and if you're not so sure about that, Ari and I have some monk-inspired wisdom to help you get unstuck. I don't need to look at your calendar to know there's a CRITICAL appointment missing from it. Ari reveals why this important time block is something you'll struggle to succeed without. Let's do a little myth busting… true or false: setting and enforcing boundaries means LAYING DOWN THE LAW and telling people how it's gonna be. If you suspect it's false (good for you!), here's why your instincts are spot on…This one is jam-packed full of advice.

Sadok Cervantes is a thought leader in the world of student entrepreneurship and leadership. He pairs students all over the nation with working entrepreneurs who help them create and launch a product. Mentorship and teamwork is the key to his programs success.In this episode, Shellee and Sadok discuss:Beyond campus preparation - how to prepare for lifeWhy is grit important? Learning entrepreneurship from experts Teamwork makes the dream work Key Takeaways:Seek training that doesn't only prepare you for in-campus challenges, but also for the real life outside of it. Grit is so much more important to take into the real world than grades or academic achievements. Academic achievements may get you hired but grit will let you strive better in your job. Entrepreneurship is a career path that requires a guided experience. Experiencing building and managing a business from experts who've been there is better than just studying it academically. Teamwork really makes the dream work. In fact, without a team or without other people, it's very unlikely that your business, or any other important project, will succeed. "No one in the history of the world has launched something important alone… to this point every student that has entered in that solo entrepreneurship model has dropped." — Sadok CervantesAbout Sadok Cervantes: He is one of FastCompany's "Most Innovative People". He received the Best Mobile Innovation award during the Mobile World Congress in 2020. He has led Product teams for iconic brands such as Wikipedia, Lufthansa, Allianz, TripAdvisor, and The MIT Media Lab, increasing their success metrics and user satisfaction through user research, user testing, branding, visual design, prototyping, A/B testing, and coding. Sadok also serves as an Instructor, Mentor, and Career Coach at several schools like the Interaction Design Foundation, DesignLab, CareerFoundry, and Springboard, where he has helped hundreds of students to be successful in the tech industry. He has shared his experience, knowledge, and ideas in speaking events like TEDx and conferences in Australia, USA, Mexico, Austria, and online.

Design is a job...and to get a job you need some experience, but you can't get any meaningful experience without a job, right? It's the classic chicken and the egg story...but does it have to be so cut and dry? Can you get a job in design without a college degree? Can you pull together the knowledge and experience needed to get a job as a designer? Yes, yes you can. It takes a plan to get educated and get experience, but that plan doesn't have involve costly college. You can create a path for learning that fits your needs and investment by creating a realistic timeline and smart investment into your education in design skills and business acument. In this episode I break down a path for self-initiated education for anyone who wants to become a designer (Visua, Front-End, and UX). I talk about the following: * Setting a realistic timeline to learn * Learning the foundations and strategy, then learning the tools and tactics * Practical application by working with clients * Taking time to reset expectations and pivoting as needed * Creating case studies to show your work While I mention a lot of learning platforms and tools, I don't advocate one over the other...your experience may vary (even with the bootcamps). I am also not sponsored by any of these companies either.

The post #209 Paper prototypes appeared first on UX Podcast.
