It's not about design...

To be a successful freelance graphic designer you have to remember that it's not about "pretty pictures"... it's about helping someone with their "problem".

There are thousands of graphic designers out there that can do "pretty pictures" but that's not what it's about. 

It's about selling their product or service. 

It's about getting an ad to the magazine on time. 

It's about making things SIMPLE for your client.

It's about educating them.

It's about becoming a member of their team.

It's about making them look good.

It's about helping them.

It's about SALES.
