Even in a career you love, excelling is difficult. The 80/20 Principle shows us that a very small percentage of people working in any given field will dominate the pay distribution and achievements for that field. This small percentage is what you’re aiming for. If you can position yourself there, you’ll be indispensable.
As we’ve said, the first step to excelling in your career is picking a career that will give you happiness. You can work to be great in any field, but you’ll perform best in a field that gives you the level of leadership, organization, and freedom you want, as well as the opportunity for achievement you desire. For example, if you’re an ambitious, group-oriented worker, you might enjoy being an entrepreneur.
