How Your Mindset Impacts Your Wallet: Insights From Brands By Robin
While many designers focus on honing their skills, perfecting their portfolios, and staying updated with the latest trends, there's a fundamental element they often neglect - their mindset and its direct correlation to financial success.
It's easy to dismiss mindset as a fluffy concept or something reserved for life coaches, but the truth is, it's pivotal for every profession, especially in the world of design. Why? Because mindset influences how we approach challenges, how we present our work, negotiate our worth, and even how we interact with clients. If designers don't understand this connection, they might find themselves stuck in a creative rut or, worse, undervaluing their unique contributions.
