Build relationships.
Be as interested, or more, about growing your client's bottom line.
Build value (profit, intellectual, leadership)
They know THEIR business better than you - listen to them.
Sometimes making the logo bigger, while argued against, is what's going to let them sleep at night. Build the work beyond a single assignment and you'll gain their trust to do it right the first time in the future.
Be empathetic.
Have a larger goal (freelance is great, running your own small shop is better).
Live beyond the critique, last minute changes and money haggling.
- Spot on. Apart from the bit about the Small Shop. This doesn't always suit everyone.breadlegz
