Group Roadmap

Here's what the Journey ahead looks like:

Step 1: Do a resume Audit

Step 2: Resume Reload

Step 3: Linked In Optimization

Step 4: Get 100 No's

Step 5: Interview Phase

Step 6: Offer Phase

Step 7: First 90 days

Step 8: Deliver Immense Value

A note about habits:

Reaching all eight steps is possible, but it's a long road ahead.

If you're only trying to get into this field beacuse of the work life balance — same!

But if getting rejection letters makes you not want to keep going, then you probably won't make it.

In the beginning, you won't get interviews. So you'll quit.

The solution is to fall in love with learning how to leverage this knowledge you have aquired. To solve problems around you out of intrinsic motivation. Because you enjoy it. And just the process of providing value fuels you.

A note about money:

Salary is important. But I don't think it's our end goal here.

Demand for value adding scrum masters rises daily. The pools of qualified candidates are scarce. The need for guidance becomes more important every single day.

Our end goal is to commit to solving the 'value deficit' full-time. Now that's a meaningful goal.

A note about 3x-ing your income:

It is possible to earn much more than this through this career path, but this is roughly the point where your happiness stops increasing as you earn more.

A note about Financial Freedom:

The goal isn't to sit on a beach and drink cocktails. To leave something beautiful for the other generations behind us.

A note about "Celebrations":

This community has exceeded my expectations in terms of energy and aliveness. I didn't quite realise how strongly being scrumbuddies would resonate with evryone. Thank you, sincerely, for your response.

I've added a "celebrations" post category. I think this will add to the energy of the group. Whenever you hit part of the roadmap, make a post! We will keep track of how many people are at each level.

Also feel free to post other celebrations not on the roadmap.

Final notes:

This roadmap is definitely not final. If you see any problems with it, comment below. If you can think of anything you think should be added, comment below.
