Want to repeat my mistakes? Here is how.

I’m no different than you,
my beginning was rough. 
My UC skills were non-existent and I had to pave my way through the birth of my UC career brick by brick.

My mother always jokes (at least I hope she does) about me being a mule.
She might be right though,  I wasn’t lazy and my main skills were hard work and a lot of brute force.
Sounds pretty much like a mule to me..

And not a very smart mule either.
When troubleshooting faults I would try to read the logs, decipher it, look for logic and familiar words that would provide some clues and get me out of the mud.

Let me tell you, those bricks were heavy, especially when the faults were critical and the phone just wouldn’t stop ringing.

My progress was slow and I had to learn the hard way to use the smart way.

Once I started to take the time and effort, invested in my career and actually studied the technology instead of trying to reverse engineer it, my progress graph went off the charts. Fast.

I finished projects with ease and there was no troubleshooting scenario I found frightening. 
I gained the respect of my colleagues, my customers and my managers who were more then eager to keep me happy.
I was paid for my CCIE, got two salary raises in one year and today I have the privilege enjoy my work as an Independent Consultant and master my time, income and life.
Mastering SIP was clearly one of the quantum leaps of my career.

Don’t be mistaken though, it’s not going to be easy.

If you want to achieve mastery, you will have to work hard,
go through the course with focus and diligence and often repeat lessons in order to fully grasp
the concepts and reap the benefits.
