Deciding that my job would not dictate what I worked on, but instead that what I wanted to work on would dictate my job. Years ago a particular technology really grabbed my attention, so I went all in on that technology outside of my work -- mastering the technology, answering questions about it online, delivering presentations about it, etc.. It took a lot of hard work and hours outside of my regular job, but that single decision led to more career advancement and opportunities than I have ever received by simply following along with whatever my current work wants me to do.
