One important lesson you should always remember is that in everything you do be confident in yourself and your work. If you do not have faith in yourself, why would anyone else? Although you are bound to make mistakes and mess up, do it with confidence. Make everyone believe in your vision or you are not going to get anywhere. Although in graphic design, the work should not be about you that does not mean you cannot put your own personal approach into it. That does not mean having the same style for every client, but rather using your experience and knowledge to help achieve the client’s vision. Get your work known and people will come to you for that approach. Get yourself out there and make a name for yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.
