IT skills are a marathon, not a sprint!

January’s gone. If you’re still lacing up those shoes and dodging puddles, we applaud you!

You may have noticed we ditched New Year’s resolutions for long-term growth this year. Forget the short-lived sprints; it’s time to prep for something longer-lasting.

Here’s to the marathon mindset.

Set the pace.

We've become conditioned to expect quick results. Instant gratification is strong, pulling us toward those quick fixes for self-improvement. But, let's face it, lasting change doesn't happen overnight. Skills, personal or professional, take time.

All-terrain.

Marathons go hand in hand with challenging terrain. Similarly, getting new skills under your belt isn’t always smooth sailing! The road will be filled with bumps, hills, and probably a few wrong turns. Remember, every step forward counts, no matter how small.

Community

In the world of marathons, runners have a sense of camaraderie that helps them push through. The same applies to personal development. Surround yourself with a community of like-minded individuals who share your goals. Whether it's joining a coding Bootcamp, language-learning group, or even a book club, your support system can make all the difference.

Discipline

It could be the weather, or maybe there’s something great on TV tonight. You know your weaknesses. Practicing discipline and being honest with yourself can help you commit to a long-term training plan. You know when you work best. By suiting your learning to your unique lifestyle, you’re bound to see results.

On your marks, get set, go!

Whether it’s a short and sweet IT Bootcamp or a longer Apprenticeship, the marathon mindset is a winner in 2024.
