It's all about who knows you! Every day, you need to focus on being relevant. Build a network of people who want to work with you and know what you do. People aren't going to know what a resource you are if you're sitting in your office alone. Get the word out about yourself. Don't be ashamed of self-promotion! Be great at what you do, and let the world know!

It's easy to think that if something is successful, that's it, you're done. Wrong! Don't ride the wave of comfortability. Being comfortable is dangerous. You're not paying attention to what's going on. You're just letting things happen. You need to be in charge and make things happen for yourself. You should always be thinking "what else can I be doing to move forward". If you're not growing, you're dying.
