6. Have Goals that You Constantly Strive For There's always a new height you can achieve and new goals you can reach in your
career. The key is to identify those goals, and then put together a plan to achieve them.
Instead of coasting along in your job, you should always have short- and long-term goals
to push your career forward. 7. Always Be Prepared for the Next Step One day, you might look around your office and realize that you've completely
maximized your potential with your current employer. Does that mean that you've maxi-
mized your career? No, it means that it's time for you to move on to that next step in your
adventure. You should always keep your employment options open and never be afraid to
take that next step in your personal development.
