DO NOT Enroll in a CODING BOOTCAMP Until You Hear THIS

today i thought i would talk about how to succeed in a programming boot camp you know i've heard some good things about boot camps but can you really learn to code in three months can you really get a job without a degree without a resume right while that experience are you is someone really going to hire you for a good programming job uh the answer is yes but and the butt is what i'm going to be talking about in this video if you guys are just joining me for the first time i'm john from simpleprogrammer.com on this channel i teach you how to be a simpler programmer no what i do is i teach you how to develop the soft skills that you need to kick ass as a as a programmer to upgrade your career get a better job make more money and hey if you want to build a business and become financially independent uh you'll learn some of that here too so i have a book called soft skills software developer life manual i think you'll like that if you like this channel click subscribe but if you haven't already and i just have another book complete software developer career guide uh they're some of the best selling software development books so if you haven't checked them out go go check them out and uh yeah so we're gonna talk about this today this was something that had just come up recently i was talking to a guy that i was coaching from my other company bulldog mindset and he was wanting to get out of the job that he's in right now and he wants to become a software developer okay so he was looking at the boot camp as an option and this is sort of the advice i gave him right i said look here's the deal all right go ahead and enroll in a boot camp uh like you know you figure something around fifteen thousand maybe twenty thousand dollars is what it'll cost you now some of you say that's a lot of money not really not not concerning the investment not concerning how much you might pay to go to college you know even for a year or semester that's really not that much of a month of money to invest in yourself especially if you're gonna be able to get possibly a six-figure job right afterwards and you know i'm not selling anything not advertising anything here i'm not promoting a bootcamp but i'm telling you you know that i have worked with a lot of developers and so many stories i've heard of people just doing that now a lot of people get upset when i say that they're already software developers and they say well yeah yeah you can't just go to school for three months and then become developer only if you do it the right way all right so this is what i told them i said okay look here's what i want you to do alright i want you to spend the next two weeks researching boot camps okay find some good boot camps you know do do your homework find some good ones that will work that are full-time boot camps like a three-month program something like that you know don't worry too much about the price it's not going to matter that much look for something that's quality where people are getting good results that looks like something that you'd be interested in doing okay then enroll in the bootcamp okay and before you go to the bootcamp spend one month ahead of time looking at their course curriculum for the bootcamp what are they going to teach you and spending that month learning as much of it as you can on your own just go out there on youtube go out there on the internet maybe buy a course if you want whatever it is just go out there and start learning as fast as you can everything that they're going to teach you before they teach it to you okay and if you want to actually a course on on how to learn anything quickly i've got a course down below or you can click a link in the description or in the cards 10 steps to learn anything quickly it's it's one of my my most popular courses for simple programmer so anyway i told him do this okay and here's the idea behind doing this if you do this what's going to happen when you come into the boot camp okay when you come to the boot camp you're going to be one of those kids that comes to the boot camp and he's not a kid he was like 29 or 30 right and you're gonna be the know-it-all okay the person who already knows the answers to the questions who's gonna be able to help other people who's gonna be the teacher's pet all right now there might be someone smarter than you that's fine it doesn't matter but the point is you'll be at the top of the class at the beginning so you most people that fail and mess up in boot camps or don't get a job afterwards they end up in the bottom 50 of the class or they fall behind or it's too much work for them and they get overwhelmed you're buffering this to make sure that doesn't happen not only that as i told them i said when you go to the bootcamp it's usually going to be like an eight hour day maybe a nine hour day or whatever you spend 12 hours okay spend the eight hours at the boot camp and then spend four hours after the boot camp staying there helping other students okay studying harder working on your project talking to the teachers of the bootcamp and asking if you can help them if there's any projects you can help them with anything you can do to help them okay and do that for the whole three months you're there it's a lot of work it's a lot of effort but i can almost guarantee you as close as i can like now think about this logically guys all right what's gonna happen most likely okay the the person running the bootcamp the teachers running that boot camp they're all the time talking with the recruiters they're talking with companies that they they place clients you know customers from the boot camp in all right and so when they're having some talk right it's not just gonna be all resumes and and apps dude they're gonna have talks with these people and they're going to say hey actually i got this one guy he's really really good he's probably like the best guy in the class he's like already came in knowing all this stuff he works really really hard he stays after every day and he helps the other students he's just like an excellent that they're gonna you're gonna be they're gonna be fighting over you they're gonna be fighting over you to pay you probably a six figure job you're probably gonna have a lot of opportunity okay and and again it's it's not to say that you're not gonna learn anything because you're going to learn a ton just immersing yourself into something for three months especially if you're spending 10 12 hours a day working on it believe me you can you can learn a lot you can learn what takes someone 10 years to learn in 3 months if you're willing to put in that work i know that sounds crazy but it's not at all immersion is extremely extremely powerful let me let me just ask you like how many of you guys took a foreign language for four years of high school or maybe even into college and can you actually speak that language no okay very few of you can actually speak that language yet you can take someone who's never heard of the language before whatever language okay and you can put them in a merchant school for six weeks right where they're working on it 10 hours a day and then they're staying with a family that speaks that language only and they will become fluent okay in 10 weeks so that's that's the difference man so that's that's what i recommend okay if you really want to do this you really want to do a boot camp do it make sure that you're the top one percent of the class okay put in the extra work put in the effort to do that and then give it time right so imagine that after the bootcamp you're gonna spend the next six months looking for a job actively applying for three to four jobs a day okay if you do that it's almost guaranteed you're gonna get the result okay but so many people they don't do the thing that's guaranteed and this is just a little life hack for you guys all right i was talking to a guy on my other youtube channel on on bulldog mindset ryan magic and we're and he he has the same pro what do i say all the time i don't have the shirt on trust the process right here the same process he was talking about how he did he signed up to do seminars every week for three years okay he had no idea how to do a seminar he was afraid he didn't know if he was going to make any money but he but he said that by just saying i'm going to do it every week for three years he knew he would succeed if he did that okay it didn't he he took it from the micro to the macro it's the same thing here if you apply a certain set of steps and you trust that process right when you think about what i just told you if you do all the things i told you how could you possibly fail it's very unlikely right when i first learned to juggle what did i do i i went up to my room i took a white board took a marker i took three pairs of socks all right i took the pairs of socks rolled into balls i threw them up in the air tried to juggle okay and then i put a tick on the white bar board my goal was to put a thousand ticks on the whiteboard i didn't get there okay because i i was juggling uh pretty much perfectly by before 200. okay that's but but the whole idea was i had this process that could not possibly fail if i got to a thousand dicks on that whiteboard do you think anyone that's watching this video you think anyone wouldn't be able to juggle if they tried it a thousand times if you tried a thousand times you'll do it you'll do it right there's i saw this on this brilliant course that was being advertised on my instagram feed and it was called learn to backflip in 30 days do a certain thing for 30 days follow this program you learn how to do backflip everything in life is like that
