This week , I was honored to give a session about hacking your career. Here’s the abstract:
This is not yet another career session that tells you to be friendly and network. Forget that – this is about using your IT skills to reinvent the way you get paid. I’ll explain how I went from DBA to MVP to MCM to business founder.
I’ll show you simple techniques to build a blog, a brand, and a business without that pesky personal networking stuff. I’ll explain why you have to give everything away for free, and why you cannot rely on the old methods to make money anymore.
It will not be easy – and that is why this session is level 500. This session is about radical methods that achieve radical results.
Here’s an abridged version of the slides:
