Make your ordinary work difficult to criticize.

Most work is ordinary work, and it is where reputations are actually made. If your routine output is solid enough that there is nothing obvious to complain about, you have built something more valuable than an occasional impressive result, because it is what people meet most often and what they come to expect.

Take a typical piece of your work and look at it as an unfriendly critic would. Fix the two most obvious weaknesses. Doing that regularly on ordinary work moves your standing further than any single exceptional effort.
