'21 REASONS WHY YOU'RE NOT YET A MILLIONAIRE BY AKIN ALABI' @akinalabi
1. You Haven't Made A Decision.
Make a decision! People don't become millionaires by luck. Usain Bolt didn't become an eight-time Olympic gold medallist by accident. He made a decision and you should too.
Write it down and set it as a goal! Set a time limit to it. Know the money vehicles to help you achieve it. Don't limit yourself by your current circumstances but be determined and begin to act on your decision.
They won’t bring you a scholarship or a job but this will.
If you think an Online Course Certification from platforms like Coursera, Edx, Udemy or any boot camp certificate will get you a scholarship or a job, then you are wrong.
No employer cares about a certificate.
They only care about your meaningful experience or skills that you learn from those specific online courses.
This is far better than just grabbing the certificates without gaining any significant knowledge from them.
While searching for a new employee, different employers look for different things. But they are all trying to answer one overarching question: What value will this individual add to my organization?
As a strong potential candidate, its your job to help them reach the right conclusion. Although setting yourself apart from the crowd is a rigorous process, showcasing your completion of relevant courses is a great starting point.
But mind you, as you proceed in the quest for developing a skillset that you've developed, be always prepared to answer these questions:
• What drove you to enroll in these courses and further your education?
• What knowledge did you gain from the courses?
