For example, if you learn a new feature on C# 12, you probably want to share that by writing a blog or post on a platform like C# Corner, Medium, or LinkedIn. You can even go further and speak about it via a Webinar or make a video.
- Invest in yourself. The best investment is to invest in yourself and your growth. Putting aside a couple of hours each week (if not more) is important just for learning. It's better to have the same schedule so you are mentally prepared.
- Put yourself out there. If you want to be in the game and be the best, you must go out there, network with professionals, and learn from them. Attend events and meetups and not only listen, participate, and speak at these events. By doing so, you will establish yourself as a thought leader.
