1. Always work for the next job you want

I always tell people in employment that I never just do the job that I am doing. I work as though I'm working for the next job I want to do. This means that at every point in time, I am doing extra because I won't get my next job doing what I did in my last job. For instance, I worked in the British Council for many years. I was there for 14 or 15 years. I worked eight or nine different jobs, and each of them was progressively senior.
