Think of your work as a career and not just a job. While you should certainly set daily goals and objectives for yourself, it’s important to always remember the bigger picture. What is the end goal and how are your short term goals driving you in the right direction?
Don’t Lose Focus
Your career is a continuum. If you want to be consistently successful, you can’t take mental time off for extended periods. It is okay to take a few breaks every now and again, but don’t let yourself get distracted from your long term goals.
Stay Curious
It’s important to invest in yourself, your education and your personal growth.

Work on your professional knowledge and skills every day until it is time for you to retire. Persistence beats talent!
