  1. Constantly improve yourself. You can take classes outside of work to hone your skills. Look for opportunities where you can get additional education and training. Work on outside projects. Attend conferences and seminars. Join online groups and forums. If there are licenses and certifications in your industry, you can get those. The more skills you have, the more valuable you’ll be to any company you work for.
  2. Focus on your strengths. Use them as a natural advantage to experience success more easily. Many people play to their weaknesses and try to improve on those. That’s important, but improving on your strengths will boost your career faster and provide more value to your employer.
  3. Team up with other people when you’re working on projects. Typically, more is achieved as a team than alone. Other people with complementary skillsets can add tremendous value and create a synergistic effect.
  4. Pursue work that’s interesting to you. You’ll devote more energy to projects you genuinely enjoy doing which in turn will usually make it more successful. You’ll go the extra mile when you’re engaged in a project. The additional benefit is you’ll feel happier and more satisfied during the day, making your all-around quality of life better.
  5. Surround yourself with people who have similar goals. Seeing other people’s progress will motivate you to continue to accomplish great things. If you hang around people who are complacent, you might end up the same way. People get comfortable where they are and stop trying to advance in their career. If you want to have a more successful career, hang around people with similar goals as well as people who’ve already accomplished what you want to accomplish.
  6. Focus on solutions. Bring ideas and new ways of doing things to the company. Go above and beyond in your job. If you want to get ahead, you need to find ways to contribute to the company. Sometimes that means doing work that is outside your official role but will benefit the company. The result is you’ll be given more projects and possibly promoted. Accept challenges that go beyond your comfort zone and try new things. If you always stick with the status quo, you’ll have a hard time getting ahead in your career.

Follow these tips to maximize your career potential. If you improve on these everyday, you’ll be on your way to accomplishing great things.
