No project is wasted
No project, no matter how bad the ending or the client, is ever wasted. Every project you do is a form of practice. And that's powerful.
Every project you do, client or otherwise, is a form of practice. Good, bad, or indifferent, that project is teaching you something.
A project is an opportunity to:
Get better at your skills
Hone your client management (or ability to collaborate)
Learn from peopling
Develop your style
Declutter your brain
Borrow from someone else’s experience
Give yourself an excuse to stretch, learn, and grow
Work through good and bad assumptions
See what’s on the other side
Test your processes
Take calculated risks
Get stronger
Grow your confidence
Understand your weaknesses
Bridge your knowledge gaps
Eliminate possibilities that don’t serve you
Embrace the ones that do
Find something out
No project, no matter how bad the ending or the client, is ever wasted. Because it is a stepping stone to somewhere else.
