Great post – I think as a designer it is far easier to be critical of yourself than to give yourself a ‘pat on the back’. Us designers can be so self-critical that it can be more harming to a successful freelance career. Thanks for the encouragement during my pessimestic time. I like the idea of the mentor Antwon! I must find myself one of those.

Thanks for the encouragement. I can definitely relate to a lot of what you said and I see how I’ve almost been reluctant to launch out into the deep and go all out as a freelance designer. I’m sort of at the beginner’s level with a few projects under my belt. I have so much that I want to learn and explore, and so much that I know but don’t fully understand yet in the world of designing. I am confident that I have something unique to bring to the design world and I am not going to allow intimidation of more experienced designers to hold me back. We all have to start somewhere.

I think one thing that has helped me the most is that I have an awesome mentor who is always challenging me and pushing me to the next level as a designer. I would recommend any aspiring design freelancer to seek out a mentor.

Great post!!!

Well, I’ll be darned. I absolutely love the talent Meryl displays in her writing and I wanna be just like her! Looks like Meryl and I both have to shake off those self-doubts. No doubt after jumping out of a plane tomorrow, Meryl’s gonna feel on top of the world.

@T.Blake – No problem. I had a feeling this article would ring true for many people….even if they aren’t willing to admit it. No one likes to tell the world that they feel inadequate.

At this point in my creative endeavors, I really needed to read this. It is really good to know that I am not alone. Of all the inspirational web sites I see and articles I read everyday, this article inspired me 100 times more.

Thank you so much for writing this article.
