Resilience is a key attribute of a design business owner. Learning a new skill takes time, and for new designers it can be hard to be patient.
I remember my early years as a designer. I was impatient when I didn’t get the contract or shop I wanted. “No” was something I got used to hearing.
For new designers who are just getting started, normalize “no.” Continue forward by making your design work better and learning what kinds of designs the marketplace needs.
Your style will develop over time and your designs will be unique to you. Let the process be a teacher for you.
