🎯 The Real Reason You're Stuck

• Most people think learning syntax equals getting hired—but that's like knowing basketball rules vs. playing in the NBA
• The YouTube "learn to code in 3 months" trap keeps you consuming instead of building actual skills

💡 Why Technical Skills Are Only 30% of Success

• Networking and market positioning matter more than perfect code (shocking but true)
• The psychology work most people skip is what separates quitters from career-changers who actually make it

🚀 The 4-6 Month Reality Check

• Even after breakthroughs, you're still months away from job-ready (here's why that's actually good news)
• The sequence of steps that reveals your unique path when done consistently
