THAT AND A BUS TICKET

I hate to say this but certifications added to your name doesn't give you free meals or free rides on a public transport.

If you have a great personal brand with a million following but, posting  low-level content doesn't make you more attractive or entertaining to work with.

If you think that another course on top of the last will prepare you for your next assignment, this too will not be useful. 

If you have a double PhD, guess what you need to know how to use these degrees in the workplace and become an authority in your field. 

There's so many mediocre people playing mediocre games at the lowest level.

Get out there as fast as you can.

The higher-level playing field is never crowded.

Aim for the big game. 

Excellence, mastery, and more courage to take new stretch projects. 

You've got to provide value in your industry, fill the gaps,  and lead without asking. 

And never take no for an answer.

They just do the work and their resourcefulness brings them to the next stage.

Again, there's no perfect time, resources, circumstances to act on things that will propel you forward.

Quit getting ready, fire the cylinders.
