10 Tips for Being a Successful Freelance Motion Designer

To mark the 10 years of freelancing I wanted to see if I could come up with one tip per year which might be helpful for new motion designers.
This list is 100% arbitrary and subjective, and definitely not meant as a definitive guide to freelancing in any way. I'm not a rockstar, haven't worked at top agencies, or built up a huge social media audience creating stunning animations (yet. Hey there's still time).
What I HAVE done is work steadily and make plenty of mistakes along the way, and also seen new designers make some rookie errors. Hopefully this helps others do likewise.
