It’s all about me!
One thing I have learnt since going freelance, is that the only way I am going to move forward and progress in my career, is to be selfish! In other words, I can’t worry about what others think of me or what I am doing. I have to pull my finger out and produce the best design, no matter how long it takes or what hours of the day I work.
