Underrated life advice:

Decide who you want to become, and don't let anybody talk you out of it.

People will tell you it's unrealistic.

I've done this 3 times to get out of an environment I'd outgrown.

There's a sign in my office, right above my wife's desk.

It says: "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith."

Most people do it backwards.

The second things get hard, they doubt themselves, their plan, even God.

So next time you want to quit, question the doubt first

None of this is magic.

Companies are looking for these 5 things, and you’re checking them off one at a time.

If you’re still in the military right now, you can start on the first one before you even get out.

Talk to someone who's been coding for 10 years and they'll tell you they still feel like an impostor sometimes.

So if you're brand new and feel that way, it does NOT mean you picked the wrong field.

Powerful rule for work:

Never go against your morals just to get promoted.

You don't know the morals of the people at the top, or what's driving their decisions.

If you act out of character to climb, you can get the title and still end up somewhere you never wanted to

If I were leaving the military in 90 days and wanted to land a 6-figure tech career ASAP, here's exactly what I'd do:

Nobody told me any of this when I got out of the Air Force.

I didn't even know a guy fixing jets could move into IT.

If I'd known, I would have done it.
