- Expand your network. Do you know of a local event taking place where people you admire professionally will be speaking? Make every effort to make it to that event. Have you recently read an article written by someone in your field and have further questions? Drop that person an email and make a new connection. Attend as many seminars, trainings, and activities as possible where you can meet new people who have a great track record in your industry.
- Deepen your knowledge base. If you can acquire additional certifications, take a few classes, or go back to college for a year to open up your professional options, do it. This is also a wonderful way to network and build relationships with people who can help challenge you and inform you of new opportunities.
- If you have an image of where you want to be professionally in five years, make a plan devising exactly how you are going to do it. Make a list of everything that you need to accomplish and develop a timeline that you can realistically follow.
