Hi my name is Muktar Usman

@FortuneDataGuy @MAKHACHEVMMA Haha

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

@FortuneDataGuy @MAKHACHEVMMA Ah you’re here too ? Nice

Today’s win: finding the top-performing country and the average order amount of each customer. Easy task yes, but Consistency in practice = confidence in results. 📊💡
What did you query today?

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

30 days in.
Some days I was locked in.
Some days I had nothing in the tank.
I showed up anyway.
That’s the real win.
Not perfection. Just consistency stacking quietly in the background.
Challenge might be done… but the work isn’t.
Next round, I’m coming back sharper.

@her_voice76438 Glad you do. Mistakes are actually the bread and butter of every budding data analyst.

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

Got some honest feedback today… and it stung a little 😅
I showed a friend a dashboard I created and he said:
“I don’t get what I’m looking at.”
That moment made me pause.
I had built something technically solid — but completely missed the point:

[Fortune || Data Analyst @FortuneDataGuy]

It’s a new week, not for perfection, but for progress.

* You won’t know everything.
* You’ll make mistakes.
* Some queries will fail.
But that’s the process. That’s the growth.
Show up anyway. Learn anyway. Try again anyway.

Small wins every day = big results over time 📊🚀

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

Data isn’t just analysis — it’s communication.
You can have powerful insights, but if people don’t understand them, they don’t matter.
Grateful for real feedback. That’s how you improve.
On to Day 29.

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

If someone with zero context can’t understand it, it’s not effective.
So I went back and:
Simplified the visuals
Removed unnecessary metrics
Added clearer labels & context
Focused on the story, not just the data
I learnt first hand what most senior analysts always say..

Day 26.
Fell Ill for the past two days.
Times where you realize health is wealth. Everything had to pause, but I am back building and I will be stronger then ever

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

@FortuneDataGuy Real talk!

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

Day 24 of building in public.

Another day, more applications sent out. Still showing up, still putting in the work to secure an internship.

It’s not glamorous, but it’s progress.

Brick by brick. Day by day. I’m getting closer to the goal.

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

@her_voice76438 Thank you 🙏

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

Day 23 of building in public 🚀

Locked in and doing my part on the ACE project.

Data sourced ✅
Data cleaned & prepared ✅
Collaboration with the team 💪

Now handing it off to the next phase as the build continues.

Grateful for the process. Excited for what’s ahead.

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

@FortuneDataGuy Great work champ

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

@her_voice76438 That is all that matters. If we wanted to do it only when we enjoy it then we probably wouldn’t do it at all

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

Day 20 of building in public 🔥
Still deep in the trenches with the team on the ACE project. It’s messier than I thought… but man, I’m actually enjoying the chaos 😂
Progress > perfection.
Who else out here loving the grind?
#BuildInPublic #ACEProject

[Fortune || Data Analyst @FortuneDataGuy]

Progress in data analysis isn’t loud, it’s built in quiet repetitions
• Every bug fixed is a concept understood
• Every query written is one step closer to mastery.
From struggling with basic SELECT statements, to writing window functions, CTEs, and actually understanding them

[MotivationGuy! @ogmookhtar]

@Halosznn_ Kfb then 🙏
