Changing to a data field isn’t easy, and here's why:
The first weeks in data analytics can feel overwhelming with so much to learn and so many paths you can go with.
Spreadsheets, SQL, BI, coding, AI ... you name it.
This creates a sense of uncertainty that will activate your impostor syndrome, making you feel like every lesson you watch doesn't actually make you more skilled.
The uncertainty gets even heavier when you’re not sure when things will start to make sense.
And, when you find yourself during extended periods in a situation where you feel like you're not improving, chances are you might quit because ... life's too short to waste time on something you cannot understand.
But let me tell you ...
That uncertainty fades.
One Formula at a time.
One KPI at a time.
One Query at a time.
This is the message I have for today:
If you’re just starting out or feeling stuck, keep going.

Progress comes quietly, but it comes.
