I love the stuff that @annasabramowicz and Ryan put out, and I especially loved this one on Youtube on "6 Freelance E-learning Business Mistakes". I got some golden nuggets from it that will help me as I focus on the next stage of my eLearning business: youtu.be/ou8h1IUXuPw

This was posted by Tim and made me smile. You've got to be careful with what books you read and who you listen to, I guess. 😁

How do you know when a "thought leader" is credible? What proof do you look for?

Writing isn't what you do after you have an idea. It's how you develop an inkling into an insight. Turning thoughts into words sharpens reasoning. What's fuzzy in your head is clear on the page. "I'm not a writer" shouldn't stop you from writing. Writing is a tool for thinking.

I talked to a super smart 20 year old this week. All the potential in the world, but had a major major flaw in his thinking. This flaw is becoming the most common mistake I am seeing young people make early in their career. Let's break it down:

@DevByPowerPoint Oh my God Jonathan. Is this where you are working? I was there for a week last week with my family. We took my mother-in-law back from the UK to Gibraltar to be buried and 5 of us stayed at the Sunborn. It would have been great to meet up!

Another hard day at the office.

@EmiliaDudziak Thanks for sharing. There is only so much time in the day and I doubt if learning experience designers need both XD and Figma. I'm just getting into XD and can see the use. It's great to hear how others are using these tools. Thanks again. 😄

@elearningwzd I use Adobe XD for prototyping user flows and interactions. It's great for interface design as well and easy to share with the client. I'd love to get into Figma as well but since time is limited I take inspiration from Figma tutorials and replicate the UX ideas in Storyline. 😊

Do you create eLearning? If you do, do you use tools like: • Adobe XD • Figma in your workflow? I'd be interested to know how useful you find these tools and what you use them for? Visual design, prototyping, something else? How do they help you?
