1st and foremost you’ve got realize this process takes time. It takes a lot of time. Patience is always key.

Loyalty is next. Find a team that you can trust. View the field. Do your research! Know what you are trying to do with your career and find the best management to accommodate your needs.

Learn about the best ways to promote your product. Your team should have a plan for you from the gate. Remember this is a business. Know that you may have to make huge sacrifices in order to get to where you would like to be.

You have to be dedicated there is nothing that should ever restrict you from pursuing your goals (ie. personal problems, your “now situation” or critics).

Last, but not least, know that in order to make it where you would like to be industry you have to let go of things you may be used to having in your life. Some of the people around you can be liabilities that seem to just be with you for what you may be able to do for them never giving always taking. People that don’t understand you and your goals and why you don’t do things you use to do!
