In my first intervention, I try to create a brochure about how to create a business account by interviewing successful people. I successfully interviewed three people (my previous classmates who did very well), while other famous artists who didn’t know me didn’t reply to my email.
Then I realised that it was a failed intervention. Because I didn’t change anything and successful people won’t tell you their secret.
From this experience, I learned that what is real intervention. Interviewing could be background research or secondary research because it only knows something from others rather than your own experience.
Why it happened? firstly, I think I didn’t understand the meaning of intervention. But it was a good failure, at least I learned what intervention is. Secondly, I think I lack some life or work experiences. I even didn’t notice that successful people won’t share their secrets. I need to be more thoughtful and have more logical thinking. Next time, if I want to know some ‘secrets’ from others, think about why they would like to tell me, what I can offer them, and what profit they can acquire from me.
