No matter where you work, no matter what you do, you are in business for yourself. Keep building skills and knowledge faster than they become obsolete by developing an obsession with learning. We live in a tidal wave of information and knowledge becomes obsolete very quickly. How you learn is more important than what you already know. Anchor yourself to individuals instead of institutions.
Institutions are in constant flux and individuals are in constant motion.
Cultivate authentic bonds with people who can help you and over time they will become the most reliable institutions in your life. Constantly identify and seize opportunities to add value wherever you can find them and then sell yourself into those creative challenges. Work hard, but don't burn out. Balance your working life and nonworking life. Make detailed plans and live by them, but always monitor the world for change and be prepared to revise and adjust your plan as necessary.
