Commit to ongoing education, in everything.

Make it a daily habit to learn something new about your industry, about marketing, about the world around you, and about yourself. Industry-specific news will keep you abreast of not only the current trends – you might spot the harbingers of things to come and get a competitive edge over your competition. Never allow yourself to become complacent or too comfortable.  The moment you stop growing is the moment that you start taking steps backwards.
