Episode 20: Excuses
from Getting Hired in IT by the IT Career Guy Hosted by Darrell Wilkerson
Excuses are Dream Killers Excuse #1: “I’m too tired”. If you have a couple of hours between now and bedtime, then I’m calling you out! Excuse #2: “I don’t have the money to take the class.” There is so much free information available on the Internet, money should not be a factor. Also, if you cannot allocate $25 per month to learning the skills necessary for you to achieve your dream, then sacrifice something of lesser importance to you and your family. Like that cell phone or coffee habit! Excuse #3: “I’m not smart enough to do this!” I’m just an average student. It takes me twice the time and effort it takes an average person to learn something. If I can do it, so can you. What you’re probably doing is overwhelming yourself with too much at one time. This is not an overnight journey. It’s going to take time. Break your activities into small, digestible portions. You are smart enough! Excuse #4: “I don’t know where to start?” If you are having problems of getting off the ground, reach out to a mentor or even myself. I’m here to help you make sense out of the process and the details. Excuse #5: “I don’t have any experience!” Sure you don’t, but you have to start somewhere. Volunteer your time and get experience. Dive into the multitude of sample exercises online to help you. Need Help? Go to http://itcareerguy.com/contact and let me know what you’re challenged with, I’m here to help you. Reference: “The Spartan Way” by Joe De Sena — Highly recommended for getting things done!
