- Career Rule #1 – "I Don't Do That" – May 11, 2011 – Rule #1 in this list is so, so important. (Don’t do something that you don’t do) I have had to be careful over the years and I haven’t always abided by the rule — much to my detriment. You’d be well advised to know when to say you don’t do something and stick with it.
