"Golden rules for career success: 1. Specialize in a very small niche; develop a core skill; 2. Choose a niche that you enjoy, where you can excel and stand a chance of becoming an acknowledged leader; 3. Realize that knowledge is power; 4. Identify your market and your core customers and serve them best; 5. Identify where 20 percent of effort gives 80 percent of returns; 6. Learn from the best; 7. Become self-employed early in your career; 8. Employ as many net value creators as possible; 9. Use outside contractors for everything but your core skill; 10. Exploit capital leverage."
