References in this episode:

I used to believe if I focused on having great skill that was enough to attract clients. As long as I could prove I worked harder or produced better work then somebody else I would always be the client's choice.

This couldn't have been further from the truth. The truth is it doesn't matter how good you may seem if that is not communicated through how you present your work then you are diminishing your value.

You cannot control the fact that people are going to compare you to other designers. However, you do have the ability to influence their perception of your abilities.
