When I study or learn something new, there are always roadblocks.
I mean, it seems to pop up every time I want to move forward.
Tbh, my roadblock may not be the same as yours. Which mine is I’m so busy I need to make what I’m doing a priority within my day.
But the truth remains the same where we all have a solution to press through the roadblock.
For instance:
I’M SO BUSY
If we are busy, we can always find time to add this to our schedule if it’s really a priority to us. I bet right now, we are doing things throughout the day that waste our time that we can fill it with productivity.
FINANCES
If finances are an issue, there are some free or cheaper resources to help you learn and get some practical knowledge. You should never use finances as an excuse not to learn because the information is at your fingertips
MOTIVATION
If you are not motivated enough. Then you can simply just take action. Because you don’t have a motivation problem, you have a problem with taking action. Either you want it or you don’t.
There will always be roadblocks.
The question is, How Bad Do You Want It?
There are people that are facing worse circumstances than you and they are deciding not to allow their circumstances to be a roadblock to their success.
So what is your excuse?
So here are some tips to help you strategize and become successful!
- Write your goal or goals down for the week. I suggest breaking them into daily steps to reach the goal.
- Every day, speak your goals into existence. When you awake, say “I will accomplish this goal today”
- Understand how you are going to do it. Is it certain resources you need to read or tinker with? Then make it a priority!
Although simple, these are some steps to eliminate the excuses and charge into victory.
Ask yourself, “How bad do I want this?”
No matter where you are from, whom you come from, what you do, or whom you think you are. You have to GOD-GIVEN right to chase your dreams!
How will that affect your life if you were to land that new role as an engineer?
How would that change your life?
If you can see it, then you have a vision.
If you have a vision, then you have everything you need around you to become successful!
Use them!

3 年If your mind can conceive it , if it is what you want then you have the capacity to do it. The mind and the heart are aligned, the body ought to follow unless it is a day dream or just a wishful taught. You get what you pay for ,better yet what you deserve. The harder it is, higher the price the more value it has. the best seasoning to give life a good taste. I changed from after hour contract parking attendant for a club , to club owner manager, to music promoter, to IT Network infrastructure management. ( worked for the school for 3 years making $6.00 an hour 10 hours a week because my background was not to get a job in IT) Got a career , kept for 20 years. then to Real-estate and construction (painting, kitchen cabinet refurbishing ) then I got a job looking for a job (resume writing and updating) thank you for LinkedIn to get out of the misery, ( Never again i write a resume, do not want to learn either ) and introduce me to Capital Investment (stock exchange) . a trade never ever taught I could do. Life is good , water taste better , get out of bed when ready. I love my job with a passion ??
Start small if you are having trouble getting going until you find your learning zone. I recommend doing at least one 10 min HIIT a day. Some parts of tech are boring to learn. Push through it! Message to all aspiring cloud technologists: We need you and waiting for you! We can't wait forever! Fire it up! ??
