I've been busy with a lot of things but still keeping up with my classes @Leadherfoundation. Relenting on the learning in public thingy but being here with those thoughts is what consistency is all about I figured.

Hi everyone
This is my first time building a dashboard for my first data analytics project. I would really appreciate your opinions and suggestions on the title and presentation.

The fear of what to become and how to become.

There’s a weird stage in learning a skill where you know enough to follow tutorials but not enough to build something alone.That stage is frustrating.

[Becky_Data Analyst @BukolaSalau2]

When I was learning Data Analytics, the process often looked straightforward:

Get a dataset → clean it → analyse it → build a dashboard → find insights → present.

Real work is different.

You don't always receive a perfectly structured dataset with clear column names and a question waiting for you.

Sometimes, the first task is figuring out what the data actually represents.

My day-to-day work involves things like updating Sales and Finance data, tracking performance, checking targets and achievements, validating figures, reconciling numbers and preparing reports and trying to understand why two sources don't agree.

And I've realised that the analysis isn't always the hardest part.

Sometimes, getting the data into a state where you can confidently analyse it is the real work.

That's something portfolio projects don't always show you.

Another big difference is business context.

When you're practising, you can choose the question.

At work, the business gives you the problem and you have to understand the process behind the numbers before deciding how to analyse it.

So I'm learning that being a Data Analyst isn't just about knowing Excel, SQL, Power BI or Python.

It's also about asking the right questions, checking your numbers, understanding the business and communicating your findings clearly.

I'm still very much learning, but this first experience has already changed how I look at data.

In a portfolio project, you're analysing a dataset.

In the real world, you're using data to help solve a business problem.

And that difference is huge.

Learning SQL?

Don't try to memorize every function.

Start with:

SELECT → WHERE → GROUP BY → ORDER BY → JOIN → HAVING → Subqueries

Then practice answering actual business questions with them.

At this stage, there’s no “what if it does not work out”.

I’ve invested too much for it not to.

You can now check your emails to find out if you've been selected for the FSP 2.0 cohort and proceed with the next steps in your learning journey.

Congratulations to all the selected participants! 👏

I used to work in a coffee stand in a train station.

One day some poor woman threw herself in front of a train. She exploded everywhere.

I phoned my Boss to tell him I wanted to close the shop. And he asked:

"Why? Is there no one you can sell coffee to?"

Is it clear and easy to understand, or do you think there's a better way to go about it? I look forward to learning from your feedback.

I don’t go searching for Eric’s videos except the ones I see on the TL…

But I think of all of his videos I have ever come across, this is the most profound.

This just taught me a very very valuable life lesson I wasn’t used to.
Thank you @eric_gugua
