1st Secret: Anything is doable and easily so • Most people fail to start because they feel “it can’t be done” or it’s too much to do…. • Accept challenges and adjust. “Failing to start” “Remember;a limit is only your imagination”
Secret 2: Know what’s available and needed on the market It easy with Tools Like: • Bootstraps; for great UI design. • CMS: SharePoint, WordPress, Umbraco & etc.. • Automated DB design tools like “Toad Modelling”. • Automated application development; Yee framework, Microsoft MVC & etc. • And it easy to start, with: • Platforms like Google app stores and other mobile app stores. • Free development studios. Like eclipse • Cheap hosting platforms. • Angular JS, Facebook Api and etc.
Secret 2: Know what’s available and needed on the market I have made it happened myself taking advantage of these things to produce desktop applications, Websites/applications of my own and now recently an android app you see on the left.
Secret 2: Know what’s available and needed on the market 7 Tips: • Avoid working hard, work smart… • Do not reinvent the wheel. • Research, explore and know what others don’t. • Don’t be a “repeater”, do what has not been done. • Or do a better version of what is available. • Be on top of your game; master it as soon as it is introduced. “like in trading; normally those that enter first make lot of money”
Set up your home environment & work • Self-marketing; get local customers • Make Some Cash “Start somewhere” Secret 3: Do it on your own That how you build your IT profile and get a Job easier and quicker “Have something to offer to the world for the world to offer something to you.”
Secret 4: Hunt for money not after money Don’t Job search and search you’ll get nothing, be frustrated and end-up somewhere else you don’t’ wanna be... Work, work and deliver then companies will chase after you and you make them pay. Don’t undermine any opportunity, take it and excel on it. Go extra-mile. Be a great team player. Apply the skills you have & what you know. Know one thing and master it, learn more things and know them. “if you’re well developed and you good in what you do, you don’t look for the job, jobs looks after you”
Secret 5: Believe in yourself, then get someone else to believe in you • To doubt it will work. • To always think worst of yourself. • To look too much at the back and end up being blinded of brighter things in front of you. Avoid this: Know this: • If you don’t believe in yourself no one else will. • You can do well with a mentor that believes in you. • ZaoLife believes in you.
