Updating your skills is imperative for any profession and photography is no exception. Do not become irrelevant. As a professional, never stop learning and never stop refining your existing skills. In your quest to acquire or update your knowledge, you will discover new ways of doing things and these new ideas always light a spark that can re-ignite your career. Experimentation is key!

This is by far the most important aspect of becoming a better photographer. The more you practice the better you get at the craft and as you gain experience and learn to differentiate between a good photograph and a great one, you will see how far you've come in your journey. Expensive Gear, mandatory bokeh etc which people stereotypically believe to make a good photograph is nothing but crap. Bokeh is not necessary and does not even look good in some pictures. With expensive gear, sure you can print your pictures in large sizes and have more control over your pictures and it'll make the process of clicking pictures much easier but it will not make you a good photographer.
