- Travel more (both in number of places, and number of weird new things you try). Once you're in the throes of starting a family and settling in with a spouse, this becomes harder. A

- Learn new languages or skills (eg: music). The older I get, the harder I find this to do. I wish I'd started earlier. While this doesn't translate directly in your career, it can open new doors (eg: that assignment in Europe that requires fluency in Spanish/German that you might miss out on).

- Get more mentorship - find a group or person that has walked your path in your industry and learn from them. The higher quality mentor you can get, the faster your learning.

- Spend less on material things (eg: new car, fancy house) and use capital as a leverage. Learn to make money work for you and grow your investment base. Additionally, use capital leverage to cut-out mundane tasks in your daily routine (eg: house cleaning) and use the saved time to double-down on other life/professional skills. Time is money.
