[IxDA Discuss] what helped most in your career?

[Nancy Broden]

Besides failure and unemployment (which really forces you to decide  
whether this is something you *really* want to pursue):

Experience: design becomes more intuitive the more you mileage you  
have on you. Go figure.

Belief in oneself: coming from Canada to the US in 2000, I was under  
the impression that everyone here knew something I didn't and were  
better than I was. I was wrong. Finally realizing that a few years  
later helped me turn the corner.

I would have loved a mentor, but there was no one there for me.
