Data analytics is the ultimate career choice if you want to earn a high salary and work from anywhere.

I thank my lucky stars that I made the jump 15+ years ago and have stuck with it for all these years.

4 simple steps I'd take if I were starting today: ⤵️
🟢 Step 1: Start with SQL

Learning everything you need to know about data analytics all at once is impossible.

Instead, start with SQL.

Head over to (it’s free) and start working on practice problems.

Start at 30 minutes and commit to daily practice.sqlbolt.com
If you want to master the fundamentals of SQL in 30 days, check out Solving with SQL.

• Live group coaching sessions
• Mentorship and accountability
• Real-world business problems with SQL

Data analytics is a great career choice.

I’m so happy I made the jump 15+ years ago and have stuck with it for all these years.

Here are the exact steps I would take if I were starting over in data analytics today: ⤵️
🟢 Step 1: Start with SQL

Learning everything you need to know about data analytics all at once is impossible.

Don’t even try.

Instead, start with SQL. Head over to sqlbolt.com (it’s free) and start working on practice problems.

Start at 30 minutes. Repeat daily.
Unfortunately, many analysts won’t bother learning SQL first.

Instead, they:
• procrastinate.
• get distracted
• aim for perfection
• switch to something else

Don't let impostor syndrome set in and rob you of your future as a data analyst. Avoid it like the plague.
