Starter: it's ok to do work for cool clients for free/very little money.
I'm going to go ahead and disagree with that one...
It's because of free/ little money 'cool clients' that I was able to direct what area of graphic design I'm working at today. Of course, they (clients) don't get to decide when its free or not, that's up to you (designer) and after evaluating what are the benefits of doing that.

"Being nervous is a waste of time"...
I still get anxious and nervous when ramping up for a comp, before a pitch or during a presentation. Think it's just a part of the process that if I didn't get nervous otherwise, would prolly just produce crap work at a comfy gig. That nervous competition for success is still there :)
