Welcome to part 5 of a 5 part series about Getting Started as a Designer. Let's talk about our behavior today! over the course of this series on designing, we have talked about learning, projects, portfolios, and landing clients... All of those topics are important but none of them are possible unless you have the character and behavior necessary to accomplish all of this. Let's make this simple... if you want to be successful you're going to have to start acting like successful people. Notice I didn't say millionaire, or famous, or winner or any other word. I said "Successful" and Success isn't about winning but giving everything you have.

The behavior I mention in the video is not something I am perfect at, please understand I am speaking from a place of imperfection. They are things that I desire to embody and when I have had success in them, success has made its way into my work life as well as other areas. Here they are

1. Hustle
2. Don't quit your day job
3. Stay humble
4. Give back
5. Be truly creative
6. Learn to rest

This series is geared towards people who have an interest in becoming professional designers but don’t know where to start. In this series, I’ll be covering topics such as:

1. What to Learn
2. Projects to Make
3. Portfolio Building
4. Landing Clients
5. Behavior

This series is great if you are interested in design and is not limited to a certain facet of design. Whether you are interested in graphic design, web design, product design, logo design, etc... I cover basic steps that are distilled down in the hopes of helping people make less of the mistakes I made during the process.

My goal in making this series is to answer the flood of questions I’ve received by email and twitter asking to get started? What projects to pursue, how to find clients, what to do if you have never had a paying client etc... I really hope you enjoy the series and watch it all the way through. I really tried to answer as many of those foundation questions as I could.
