MFP 018: Interview with Ben Uyeda- Homemade Modern

Interview with Ben Uyeda

Today we’re changing it up a bit and interviewing our friend, Ben Uyeda from Homemade Modern.  We are excited to have him as our inaugural guest interview talking about using design, Networking, the creative process, and self awareness to grow your business.

Key Takeaways

  • Design – Design can be used as a differentiation point for any skill set. You dont have to be an artist in order to be a great designer, focus on your strengths and apply those to design
  • Networking – Use tangential markets as an opportunity to broaden your circle. Find markets near or next to what you do, and branch out there
  • Self Awareness – Catalog your strengths and weaknesses. Know what your most lucrative and dynamic assets are as a creator, and use those to your advantage
  • Creative Process – Do not be afraid to use client work as an opportunity to be more creative on someone else’s dime. It’s difficult to set aside time when you’re not making money to push your skill sets, but it is doable.

Homework

  • Check out Ben’s channel and get some inspiration
