1. Self awareness: possessing this will help you in the long run, so often people play to their weakness and try to force themselves down that's not right for their particular skills and interest. Do an inventory of your talent and turn them into skills and discover your core values and make them your decisions making guide.

2. Developing complementary skills: once you identify your strength, the next is developing skills that complements those strengths and in the long run it will help in extracting the values in them.

3. Hard work: perhaps the most important steps and attributes that can make an individual indispensable is to outwork those around them.in the bible on how apostle Paul said he was successful in the book of 1 corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. For you to be indispensable you have to do what is needed to be done and be willing to go the extra mile which means they give a little more than what is needed.
