After a year, you might find yourself thinking, ‘What’s next? How do I climb higher? I want more responsibility!’
This is great! You need an insatiable curiosity and a desire to keep moving and progressing, because if you aren’t moving forward, then what are you doing? Many an artist has lost their way in the later sections of this journey; either a misstep has taken them off the ledge, or they got lost in the blizzard of discontent and burn-out.

Now it’s time to find out which skills are needed for you to level up, why they’re needed and what happens if you don’t acquire them.
These skills and strategies form the backbone of your personal development. These are the glory years, a time where your hard work can really pay off, but you already know what’s involved! Dedication, graft, and the desire to advance, and that's just the start of the leveling up game.
Instead of you trying to guess the rest and learn the hard way, let me give you a helping hand. Read on!
