Ep 221| How to find out what brought you to field of design ? LIVE Challenge

When it comes to real time implementation of the design skills, people don't know whether even when they're exploring design as a field is even more larger than that. So only a few amount of people go into the design field and then they are successfully growing over there. What is the reason for that? Let me break down for you. The very first reason is they don't know whether their fantasy is matching with the real world. They have not given enough time or a chance or a moment to even check it out. That's the very first thing. Second is their expectation is really, really high compared to what is reality over there. Okay, how to overcome it? Let's come to that. But this is the second reason. Okay. Their expectation is way far higher. Maybe they would have got fantasized by some YouTube video. Maybe they would have seen some designer. Their lifestyle, all these things will actually impress them. I've seen a lot of people coming into the design field by seeing car sketches. I was also one among them. But all the time I. I realized I recognized next person tell that you're doing a project, you're trying to revive this craft. Because this craft is dying. So maybe your input can really help me to improve the best outcome for this particular artist or a craftsmanship. They'll be more than happy to help you out because you're trying to help them genuinely, right? Yes. So try to spend one hour with them. Take photos, videos, audios, whatever you want. You can take permission before you record something and come back. Perhaps once you're coming back, then try to make a detailed case study out of it. Try to make a detailed analysis out of it. What did you observe? What did you understand? What did they say? What did you observe? What did they not say? What is it making them do? Become innovative in order to create something out of nothing and then they sell it as a product. What kind of a mindset they will have, what kind of a creativity they had, what kind of a problem solving ability did they exhibit? Who taught them user Persona? Who taught them user flow? If you ask them who is your target audience? They'll exactly tell you. If you ask them whether that person will buy your products walking in the road, they'll tell you exactly. They'll buy or not. Because they have seen hundreds of people, patterns, user Persona, geography, whether this product is affordable or not. They know the pricing strategy, everything. Okay. They are the big entrepreneurs in India. They have developed inbuilt ability and skills even without having an MBA and sales and marketing and knowledge. Okay? So okay, Jagdish still you have not come to why it is. Let me tell you guys, the moment when you step out of your house, the moment when you wear a hat of observing, asking questions and listening, you are trying to find something which is not there, which is not seen by obvious people. That's your first quality. The second quality is you'll be more curious to understand how they solved it. Empathy. The third is you will be able to relate with what they are doing. And that ability will. That ability will trigger your curiosity to also go and create some kind of a product, service, solve problem or maybe monetize it in the future. I will tell you guys, most of the people will not do it successfully, okay? If you're not doing it successfully, I would say that is the one way you can jump out of this field right now. It's a good option. Maybe this field is not for you, you can find something else, that's totally fine. But if you're doing this field study successfully, you definitely have a great interest in it. I will tell you, I told you the three relevance of it, okay? The fourth relevance is that shows how you're absorbing, how you're curious, how you're able to get to the problem, to really understand in detail. The fifth ability is this will create an overall system on the ecosystem, kind of a thought process that from the end to end, how you're visualizing a problem where nobody sees that as a problem. You're just randomly going out of the house, finding out some craftman, talking with them, taking the data, coming back to the home and summarizing it. Let me tell you guys, this activity has more than 100 different benefits. If you do it right, as I said, exactly in the sequence and the steps. Take one hour of your time. Go out of your house. Share your report with me in this video below. Let me tell you how much passionate and interested you are in design. If you're not able to do it, then probably you need to rethink. You're just mumbling here and there. And then you come into this design field, not sure whether to stay here or not. One or the other way. You are wasting your time here. Over the time you will realize it. By the time one or two years would have been grown and six months, you'll be still searching for the job and you will be not getting it. Okay? There is a huge correlation in how you initiate something and how you do the other things. Because how you do anything, how you do everything, my mentor, Blair Singer always says that. So this one activity will determine your own interest. This is to validate yourself. This is to make sure what has really driven you to come into this design field and what is going to take you further. And telling you guys, you will get a lot of insights when you do this live. Okay? All the best. And share me that report, whatever you have created. Okay? Make sure you drop your contact as well. I'll be giving you a personalized feedback and insight, guys. Don't worry. I'll be reading each and every video, each and every summary, and then I'll be sharing you the insight of it because you have taken time. Right? I will be definitely more than happy to validate that.
