    IT Infrastructure Q & A

    AMA 
    I rarely post on the forum at the moment but I'd like to answer this for you. I have all three of those certifications (among others). Those are reasonably simple certifications to attain and I knocked them all out in ~6 months, maybe a couple less IIRC (was not working full time at this time)...

    To Study Or Not To Study?

    Whatever you do, never stop studying. Ever. But study the Fastlane, not the Slowlane. I'm the same age as you, and I'm a college student as well. I'm an IT student and I plan on riding this through to graduation. However, I give the studies my teachers assign me minimal priority and give my...

    You think about money too much!!

    MINDSET RANT 
    I actually came into this thread expecting a rant on how you need to shift away from thinking of money and selfish desires and shift towards adding value to people's lives. Same concept nonetheless. I don't think there's ever a reason to stop increasing the level of value you can offer to the...

    I need to talk my way into this workplace

    I mean. The building has locks. I could drive down to Detroit and beg for them to look at my app? Hahaha.

    I need to talk my way into this workplace

    Hey guys, As maybe a few on this forum know I'm an (aspiring?) software developer who's looking to create a business based around software. Anyhow, there is a specific role at a specific small business located near me that would accelerate my mastery of my niche. But I just don't know how to...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    A lot of jobs can help you further yourself using the knowledge of people who choose to spend their whole lives in a certain line of work. I feel like certain sales and dev jobs can be useful for a newbie. And community colleges are useful for the right people. You know what classes I've taken...

    Build an execution framework

    EXECUTION 
    Hey guys, just thought I'd share a mindset I find useful on a daily basis, and see what people think. When you go through the education system in the US, it sets up a framework for you to work for others. Companies know that not everything you learn is useful, but the framework of your skills...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    There's 0 parties. I mean people party, as always. But nothing organized. Go to a school with prominent Greek life if you want that. There are people of all ages. I'm 20 and it's not hard to relate to people even in their early 30s for me but you'll get people in their 40s & 50s and...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    HAHAHAHA. Glad you asked. It's absolutely terrible, by default. In my case it's not as bad as it could be. If I was anywhere near shy it'd be a nightmare socially. Fortunately, when I was 17 I got tired of being terribly socially awkward and closed off and made it a goal to become an incredibly...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    In my case it has been more than worth it. Maybe skewing my particular case is that my county is an affluent county that can afford to hire the most talented professors that stack up with major universities. Not saying that professors at other CCs suck but I'm just saying that it potentially has...

    Competitive... too competitive?

    EXECUTION 
    It's not based in anger. It's based in fear. Fear of your competitors stealing away everything you ever wanted and loved. I would never step over somebody else who has shown loyalty towards me for my own interests. I guess I'm speaking of a scarcity based mindset that I find it hard to come out...

    Competitive... too competitive?

    EXECUTION 
    I'd be interested to see what kind of responses this post gets, especially from the more seasoned of fastlaners. As I progress in my endeavors in the Fastlane there are a lot of people who want to emulate my success and are inspired by it. I want to help these people out but I also feel...

    I can't stop! (Momentum is everything)

    MINDSET 
    One of my favorite quotes has to be from Richard Kiyosaki. In response to when people ask him "Gee Richard why do you work soo hard?" His response is "I don't know, why do you sit on your a$$ so hard?". Perfect response.

    I can't stop! (Momentum is everything)

    MINDSET 
    I'm addicted to writing code, reading about marketing, and going to the gym. I can't stop working and learning... even when it's the weekend! I am so insecure about my skills that I spend the majority of my time trying to improve them. I can't stop eating healthy... even at Thanksgiving dinner...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    BINGO. This. Every time. It's not the degree that makes the person, it's the person that makes the degree. Even in the slowlane, fastlane rules still apply. The slowlane is almost a smaller-scale fastlane for the masses. If you're not busting a$$, learning new things and learning the hidden...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    I'm at a community college right now for a Software Engineering undergraduate certificate and I'm perfectly content with that. I have skills that I can use to be successful in the Slowlane AND in the Fastlane. Guys, if you're going to go to college, go for a major that gives you bang for the...

    Is it really THAT hard? Can I do it?

    EXECUTION 
    Suggestions? Not a fan of how you addressed me to say the least, and I'm not asking to be spoon-fed. I know what I want. It's what we all want, a sense of freedom and contribution. What purpose do you have that's extra special? I'm searching for mine, and I'm going to find it. I've had my ups...

    Is it really THAT hard? Can I do it?

    EXECUTION 
    This all rings perfectly well with me. I'm not lazy. I perform at the top of my classes, take leadership whenever possible, get involved, and haul a$$ in general in every aspect of life. I love to get ahead, don't get me wrong. I guess I just misinterpreted the concept of the Fastlane. I enjoy...

    Is it really THAT hard? Can I do it?

    EXECUTION 
    Good response, and I applaud you for seeing through all of my bullshit. I suppose this is more of a philosophical question for my own entertainment while I ignore my slowlane mindset. Curiously enough, once you can see through the slowlane it never feels like enough. I suppose I'm just begging...

    Is it really THAT hard? Can I do it?

    EXECUTION 
    Absolutely wonderful reply! I'd love to have more like these. I'd like to clarify some things. I don't watch TV, no subscription, no cable nothing. I can barely get myself to waste my time on the fast food kind of media that TV is. I'm not big on vacations either, not to try and justify myself...
