Get good at what you do

First in this idea is to know and claim what you do. Who are you? What are you best at? What passions guide you?

From Austin Kleon’s book Show Your Work!

Maybe “what you do” isn’t what your job is. Maybe it’s what your aspiring to do. Ramping up. Building into. Growing towards.

Once you have clarity of “what you do,” get good at it. Get better at it. Continue to hone.

Don’t get stuck in a single direction but as you refine, stay curious. Drive that curiosity into refinement.

We can’t expect people to follow us or to make the difference we dream of if we don’t get good at what we do.

For me, curiosity is a consistent catalyst in continual cultivation.
