Just read an article at smashingmagazine.com. The subject is: ”How to become A Web Design Expert”
What I’ve learned from this article is:
- All the experts are not very well known
- Being an expert is more then about getting people to listen
- Being perceived as an expert can be helpful when working with clients, and it does create the potential to attract better-quality work.
- To become an expert, you need time and experience
- Proficient at overcoming problems
- Without passion, you have no desire to learn new things or push boundaries.
- I believe that an almost obsessive passion for Web design is required to be a true expert.
- Experimenting and making mistakes are crucial if experts are to establish their credibility.
- I have to make mistakes, not hundreds or thousands. Billions of them.
- Success is going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill
- The definition of an expert is someone who knows what not to do. - Charles Willson
- We need to learn to face our failures
- stop insisting that you are an expert
- Not that context is everything. It’s also about what you say and how you say it.
- Have your own books, presentations, blogs and podcast about your experties
- If you want to be perceived as an expert, know yourself, be relaxed and present with confidence.
- present evidence/reference to support your positions
- Your expertise should always be about serving others
- You become an expert so that you can do a better job for your clients, provide more value to your organization and help others establish best practice in your industry
