A thick skin helps in this business
One of the things you probably won’t be ready for when you make a step up to freelance is the thickness of the skin you have to develop. Often you will end up in the middle of a poo throwing competition and doing a swan impression through the mucky water (calm on top, kicking for life underneath). Couple with that the releasing your design into the wild or wild clients and having them judged; you quickly learn a more fluid approach to stress and criticism. It’s not just being freelance though, having a thicker skin can help in a lot of instances and so long as you don’t become a rhino learning to cope better helps keep you off the window ledge.

Money is not the only currency
In the society we live in it’s often easy to assume money is the only thing that matters. We all have things we need to pay for and the system in place is financial. Whilst I don”t deny this, I also see the value in other non-money things. I also think these things are possibly far more worth than cold hard cash.
