Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

You only need three things to constantly advance your career. The first is attitude. Do you bring a positive atmosphere to work? Do your coworkers enjoy being around you? It might not affect the quality of your work, but it matters in the long run.

The second is effort. Are you willing to stay late, or do you look for opportunities to sneak out early on Fridays? What are you willing to do to make sure the job gets done?

The third is progress. How are you getting better at your job every day?

These things are easier said than done, but they're worth it if you want to advance your career. Click play to learn more about how you can achieve them in your job and keep moving forward.
