You may be feeling frustrated and stuck in your current situation, as you are not making the income you want. You may also be unsure about what steps to take to increase your earning potential, as there are many conflicting opinions and advice out there.

You know you want  a high-paying career in tech, but it seems like so many doors have been closed in your face. You’ve been told that you don’t know enough, or you’re not connected to the right people. They never called you back for an interview.

The anxiety can be crippling as you have bills to pay, goals to achieve, and dreams to fulfill. You may also be feeling overwhelmed and lost, as you may not know where to start or what to do next to improve your tech career and income.

2023 is coming up. Make this the year you put an end to ALL OF THAT SHIT.

Listen to all 13 minutes and 9 seconds of this episode as I go over the game plan that gives you the clarity, purpose, and consistency you need to finally stop letting people deny your time to shine.

This episode is sort of a follow-up on a couple of recent episodes. I have some recent episodes about tech sales and tech apprenticeships. So I figure I breakdown a paid tech sales apprenticeship that you can apply to so you can get paid while learning the ropes.

By the end of the episode, you’ll know a little of the pros and cons for going the apprenticeship route vs trying to land a tech sales job on your own.

Also I’ll add my thoughts on how you should approach either route. If you have any questions about anything from this episode or any other episode, message me at  https://www.tekordie.com/contact/.

Every day we get bombarded with the negativity of the world. On the news, on the street, and on our phones. It feels like the whole world is going crazy. Sometimes, we can barely convince ourselves to get out of bed. 

Once you add on all of the problems that life throws our way, it can be too much to bear. And that’s when it’s time to get away. Disappear from the world, and find your peace. 

I invite you to take a trip away from the insanity. Log-off from the matrix, grab your shades, and switch your mind to Incognito Mode.   

By the way, did you figure out the code?

Gas station credit card scams (also known as credit card skimming) can affect anyone who uses their credit or debit cards at ATMs, gas stations, restaurants or retail stores.

A skimmer is a device installed on card readers that collects card numbers. Criminals will later recover and use this stolen info for fraudulent purchases. In this episode, we talk about how this scheme works, how thieves make money with the data, and what steps you can take to hopefully avoid getting your card information and money stolen.
