Matt’s Answer
Honestly, I would tell you that you need to do a couple of things. First, you should have an idea of what problems you want to solve when it comes to identifying what kind of career you want to have. The second thing would be to never stop learning. There's an old saying that states, "Leaders are readers." The more you know, the more you're willing to learn, the better off you're going to be. Lastly, something that ties into both of the previous two statements, be comfortable being uncomfortable. Solving problems, whatever they may be, isn't always going to be easy. Neither is continuing to learn, because you're going to end up in some positions where you know absolutely nothing, but you're going to need to learn how to do whatever it is to get ahead, and don't be afraid to ask for assistance.

Know what you LOVE to do and learn what it takes to be great at it. Then create a plan to get great. There are likely a number of resources available to you both in your current role (in your current job) so talk with your manager about that. Let him/her know that you want to continue to develop and ask for help in where they think you should focus.
