There is a quote in the book “Outliers” written by Malcolm Gladwell that says

“The 10,000hr rule is a definite key in success. The rule says to become world-class at anything, you have to put in 10,000 hours of practice.”

Over the past 5 + years I have invested at least 6 hours per day / 180 hours per month / 2,160 hours per year in learning marketing, advertising and sales. While I did take time off for rest and leisure, I was locked in and focused most of the time on developing my skills. I also spent a lot of time working on my soft skills like communication, writing, and leadership. As of today, I am happy I have invested 10,800 + hours into honing my skills. There is always more to learn and I believe in living a Kaizen lifestyle, meaning continuous learning.

Certifications are nice to have. But they are not a be-all-end-all. It is my belief that experience is just as important, if not much more. As such over the past 5 years +, I have completed projects for both large and small companies worldwide alongside pursuing my certifications.

Below you will see my list of certifications. This is just an indicator of my potential and my work ethic. I invite you to take a look, click on the certifications and you will be brought to a page where you can verify the companies who have issued certifications to me. At the moment, I am certified with Cardone University, Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Hubspot, and Linkedin.  Some certifications are only valid for 1-2 years so whenever they expire, I do re-sit the exams and get up to date with new industry changes and re-certify myself.
