It's important to know your skill-set for sure. Definitely agree with Mono that it takes time.
I can't say that 10 - 15 years ago I was thinking the same way - maybe more Gung ho - just make it pretty. Maybe with age I've become a little more strategic.
I know what I can do at this point on a professional level. Skills that I'm not confident with yet are more for fun/experimental projects like motion / 3D... Practice makes perfect as they say.
IMO, it's always good to let the client know your personal scope as well so there are no surprises down the line. It's just bad business and possibly bad karma if expectations are set too high.
I see postings for creative directors that only need 2 years of experience, but have to have expertise in a novel's length list of skills and I shake my head. Very disturbing.
