Rule #7: Stay Focused
Original Rule: “Worry about yourself!”
Sometimes the most valuable thing you can own is clear knowledge of your boundaries and responsibilities.
Everyone is on their own journey and everyone’s definition of success is different. From time to time I remind myself: “do the things that work for you and do not concern yourself with what everyone one else is doing.”
“Be true to yourself, stay focused and stay you, take advice from other folks, use what you can, but never mind what is not for you. For the most part, trust yourself and believe in what you are doing.

Stay focused on your goals and keep moving forward. This does NOT mean be self-absorbed and ignore others, but it does mean that every bit of office drama or gossip is not your concern. It also means that clocking someone else’s career trajectory is a surefire way to lose sight of your own targets, goals and ambitions.
