Prioritizing Skill Development

If you’re considering a career change, remember you’re not obligated to stay with any particular job or company.

Focus on pursuing tasks that align with your life goals. This may require patience and acquiring practical knowledge for sustained success. To ensure you’re improving, keep track of the hours you spend each month researching problems related to your field.

Instead of finding the perfect job, work on honing your skills through deliberate practice, stepping outside of your comfort zone, and adopting a craftsman mindset.

Career success requires more than passion; it requires consistent effort and improvement.
