“like in trading; normally those that enter first make lot of

money”

• Avoid working hard, work smart…• Do not reinvent the wheel.• Research, explore and know what

others don’t. • Don’t be a “repeater”, do what has not

been done. • Or do a better version of what is

available. • Be on top of your game; master it as

soon as it is introduced.

Set up your home environment & work

Self-marketing; get local customers Make Some Cash

“Have something to offer to the world for the world

to offer something to you.”

That how you build your IT profile and get a Job easier and quicker

Don’t Job search and search you’ll get nothing, be frustrated and end-up somewhere else you don’t’ wanna be...Work, work and deliver then companies will chase after you and you make them pay.Don’t undermine any opportunity, take it and excel on it. Go extra-mile.Be a great team player.Apply the skills you have & what you know.

Secret 4:Hunt for money not after money

“if you’re well developed and you good in what you do, you don’t look for the job, jobs

looks after you”

Know one thing and master it, learn

more things and know them.

To doubt it will work.To always think worst of yourself.To look too much at the back and end up being blinded of brighter things in front of you.

Avoid this:

Secret 5:Believe in yourself, then get someone else to believe in you

If you don’t believe in yourself no one else will.You can do well with a mentor that believes in you. ZaoLife believes in you.
