The obvious path of advancement is to do the job, check the boxes and deliver on your promises.
The not-so-obvious, but ultimately the fast-track of advancement is to do the above PLUS lighten the load for others.
It’s likely not often that the buck stops with you (or the final product gets shipped by you), rather you influenced the project with your expertise and now it’s the next person’s turn to keep it moving toward market. (Even as an author, you have an editor and a publisher and maybe a promoter you’re working with, too.)
The real artist thinks through what can be done now to make it easier for the next person. (She hits spellcheck, perhaps.)
Do your work and do it with intention, but then consider how to make it easier for the next person.
Help enough others and you’ll find that you’re also helping yourself advance more quickly.
Stay Positive & Help Another Out
