Business Insider spoke to a range of top-performing execs for advice on building a great career.
The most important takeaway? Perseverance! Keep at it, and don't quit grinding away.
Stay on the cutting edge of your industry. Be a trendsetter, and don't be afraid to blow your own home.
Similarly, stay open to new methods and new ways of doing things. Being a digital Luddite just doesn't cut it anymore.
But while building your career, be true to your own values.
