> if you want to do something interesting and rewarding — be it writing a
novel, becoming a professor, or growing a successful business — you have

This means:
* Pick a single relevant venue to join at the entry level and work
to increase your standing.
* Make sure the venue offers clear metrics on your progress; use
these metrics to guide your efforts to get better.
* Forget all the other bullshit advice and mini-strategies people
offer for getting ahead in your pursuit. If you can’t master this one
venue, then you don’t yet deserve the world’s respect.
* Put your head down, and get it done.
