I think that ideas, specifically original ideas are what will set you apart from your competition. Always being receptive to new things and then being able to act on those ideas is key. The catch is that the ideas that you pursue should probably be at least a little similar to your main career path or you will run the risk of being too scattered and your career will become unfocused.
I just started a new video project last week that will probably not be complete until early next year. It is unlike anything I have ever done before but is still within the bounds of my main career path. It is exciting and scary all at the same time and there will undoubtedly be a steep learning curve that will need to be conquered. Learning new things is exciting to me and I can’t wait to dig further into this project. More details to come….
