Visuals increase the velocity of your message by an order of magnitude.
You can (and should) get better at writing, speaking, selling, etc. All brilliant skills with massive leverage.

But realizing that "design" isn't a skill reserved for art school or design specific careers, is a ridiculously powerful force multiplier for your ideas.
The barriers that used to exist: expensive software, tuition, certification, etc are no longer there.

Fire up YouTube, crack open Figma and experiment.

99/100 people will never do this because they aren't "creative."

An unfair advantage of a “creative” career - the table stakes expectation that you show up to an interview with proof of work.

“Hello I’d like a job as a graphic designer please.”

“Show me your work.”

That's an arbitrage opportunity.
The ability to spot arbitrage opportunities in a spreadsheet or a financial terminal ultimately results in the same outcome as identifying a need for a product in an underserved market:

Profit.

Sell your sawdust: (thread)
One of the fundamental ideas behind building reputation online is consistently generating proof of work.

The beauty of this idea is that most people are already doing it (they're just not sharing it).
Everything you do is valuable to two audiences:

1. Clients will trust that you can do it for them.
2. Customers will trust that you can teach them how to do it.

Mistakes are the price of entry.
I think it would be good if we collectively decided that the majority of things we categorize as mistakes are simply the necessary stumbling blocks between being bad at something and being competent.
Celebrate mistake makers, they fail so you don’t have to.
