In any profession, that you want to be successful in, you must stay informed on the current state of the industry, the technologies used, the state of the market, and what’s coming in the future.
You’ll want to make educated decisions on which direction you may need to focus your efforts/energies/time. You may have to pivot, and/or expand what you’re doing, or change all together. Don’t stay stuck with a limited skill-set.
