[New Video] Buy Skills Not Gadgets: Best Cyber Monday Deals for Developers (2025)
I just realized something about Cyber Monday: Most developers waste it on gadgets. But the smart move? Invest in the 4 pillars that actually grow your career as a developer. A few years ago, I was stuck at a government desk job where I couldn't get hired anywhere else no matter how many applications I sent. I was grinding LeetCode daily, launching startups on the side, and making less than minimum wage when I averaged it all out. Then AI dropped at the end of 2022, and I realized: this is the biggest wave of my lifetime. But my current approach wasn't working. So I did something different. I assessed myself across 4 pillars: Beliefs × Skills × Awareness × Monetization = Your Developer Impact My score: - Beliefs: 10/10 (I believed I could do it) - Skills: 6/10 (I could build, but had gaps) - Awareness: 1/10 (nobody knew who I was) - Monetization: 3/10 (only knew a few ways to make money) My score: 10 × 6 × 1 × 3 = 180 Here's what changed everything: Going from Skills 6→8 would take me from 180→240 (nice, but not life-changing) Going from Awareness 1→2 would take me from 180→360 (game-changer) So instead of buying gadgets this Cyber Monday, I invested in courses and books for ALL FOUR pillars. Result? More than doubled my income and went from zero opportunities to way more than I can keep up with. You can watch the full framework breakdown below! Here's what you'll learn: ✅ My Developer Impact Score assessment (do this yourself to find your bottleneck) ✅ Why awareness was my biggest bottleneck (probably yours too) ✅ The exact courses, books, and programs I bought for each pillar (NOT sponsored—these genuinely changed my life) ✅ How to maximize your chance of succeeding during the AI revolution ✅ The mindset shift from "take" to "give" that opened up all my opportunities Plus, I'm giving you my complete shopping list organized by the 4 pillars: PILLAR 1 - BELIEFS 📖 Millionaire Fastlane → https://a.co/d/cmJdbTZ
