~ Having a laser focus on your goals does not mean you stop learning or prevent you from offering new services. Adding new services that take your skills into a deeper space, not one that is not related to your current offerings. Adding foley sound to your audio service would be going deeper, but travel would spread you in a wider direction.~ Having conviction in your work and your offerings is important. Don’t go into a situation where you are more confident than your skill level should allow you to be, but also stretch yourself just enough so that you have to grow with the project.~ Create work, even if for free, that you want to keep doing, again and again. This way you do not get stuck in a position where you have to continue doing things that you hate because it is what pays the bills.
