How my brain became a product that makes money

Image
  The moment I realized I was both super smart, multi talented, ambitious and at the risk of the career confusion that special people like me face,  I ported from trying to get a corporate job to Learning digital skills to compliment my talent. - I turned my brain into the product. - I learn hard digital skills and simplify them in a way that "too busy" people or slow learners can understand at a glance - I test out these skills by "securing a job with it" or "making at least a $1000" through it to validate it. - Then I build a simple course around it to help these busy people get skills, as well as teach them how to get a job or make money with these skills. This is why DEXA exists.  Since I started towing this part, I've not had reasons to search for a job.  And I've probably had more job offers than most people searching for jobs. I'm more focused on building a global Unicorn out of my brain. Your brain is a gold mine. If you're like me

Getting your dream tech job is as simple as reading all the way to the end of this short article.

If I were to join a new tech company today, I'd most likely begin with the Sales & Marketing team and work in any of these roles : 1. Copywriting 2.Marketing management 3. Product Promotion 4. Creative/Brand 5. Demand and Operations 6. Digital Marketing 🔥 This is not only because I have seen the fat pay cheques that these roles can bring you if you know your onions, and it definitely is the life wire of ANY company in the world. This is the department that brings in the mints and coins into the vault. Some other reasons that might make my entry easier and necessary would be because I have garnered on-the-job experience as a : Copywriter Product Manager Marketing Manager Sales guy Operations Guy Customer service CEO (Chief Everything Officer) 😅 Etc... Name it!!! For my start-up, small start-ups, and some close friends' start-ups that I've assisted with sales or content ideas. And I've seen traction. It will be easier for me to say, "This i

Why being a Jack of all Trades is important

Image
 "Jack of all Trades, Master of none" Was an incomplete statement invented by a lazy man to cause friction in your mind and limit you in the things you can achieve as a human operating your highest potential. This singular statement has made a lot of people niche themselves down to poverty and mental inability, or something we call "Learned helplessness in Psychology". You need to stretch yourself the heck out. Explore your capabilities, run different businesses, learn different skills. Speak different languages. Work in different sectors and industries. Just stretch your mind. That is the only way you get better and discover your true self. This so-called jack of all trades was actually our decades old hero, William Shakespeare. The complete phrase is “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” This was a compliment, not an advise to limit yourself or an insult to curb your impulsive obsession to become badass a

I could have so much money, but I didn't make upto $100 from my first blog. Here's why - Mr Awesome

Image
My first hustle was blogging.   If you were at Imo State University when I was a student, you would have probably heard about my blog. I received an email yesterday informing me that my domain name registration, which I had kept since around 2017, had just expired, and I smiled.   I renew it every year and the last time I did was last year. I'm considering letting it go this year, as it hasn't been functional.   My last publication on that blog was in 2020. mrawesomesblog.com   I loved blogging so much, but when I entered the space, the market and my niche, saturation was just one of the problems I faced.   I wanted to do relationship and trend blogging.   I didn't succeed in blogging when I began because I had a passion to write but "limited knowledge" of the technology that made bloggers successful.   I just knew how to blog and how to do some tech-savvy things. not how to market it to a wider audience.    I didn't know where to go to find mentorship on tha
