Tutorials can teach you a lot. But building is where it starts to stick.

What's a random but important fact you think more people should know? I'll start: Most people overestimate what they can learn in a day and underestimate what they can learn in a year.

Security+ costs $404 but gives you DoD 8570 compliance. That one cert opens thousands of government contractor jobs paying $70K-$90K starting. Professor Messer's course is free on YouTube. No degree required for most positions.

I think a lot of people were smart for getting those free Oracle certs tbh. Even if they never work on a single Oracle system, it can still help jumpstart learning journeys and careers.

You’ll think nothing is working… then suddenly everything compounds at once. That’s success.

A hiring manager told me out of his mouth verbatim that your pay as a contractor is based off the labor charges which is determined by years of experience, not certifications. He told me once I get my masters to let HR know and ask for more money.

At some point you have to start using leverage in your favor wherever you can. Whatever edge you have use it to your full advantage.

Pick one thing. Be dangerously good at it. Repeat it everyday like your future depends on it. In a matter of a few months, you'll be unstoppable, my friend.

Anything you aren’t playing the long game in, is a waste of time. If it ain’t worth 10 years it ain’t worth 10 minutes is true, thats how you have to see everything. Anything worth having is worth building and compounding the benefits over a long period of time… Relationships, businesses, partnerships, health, communities, portfolios.. you name it. If it ain’t worth 10 years it ain’t worth 10 minutes is true

Certifications don’t get you hired. They just get your resume seen. What gets you hired? 👉 Projects that prove skill 👉 A portfolio that shows initiative 👉 Applying to jobs with strategy The cert is step 1. The job comes after step 20.
