I obtained the CCNA Security certification shortly thereafter. That career move helped justify a $3/hr pay … Read more

Aside from the experiences and the lessons in accountability and perception, I also obtained some useful insights about confidence, business, action, and persistence. These lessons did wonders for my life, and especially my ADHD. Lesson #4: A little confidence goes a long way. Confidence helps in … Read more
