Hello everyone!

I've decided to change my life track. In the past I was extremely unmotivated in what I was doing, I was a slacker, and I was never interested in anything I did.
I want to change that. Desperately. I want to start by studying for the Security+ exam.

I have all the resources I need. Professor Messer, Comptia Practice Exams, a Sec+ Study book. What I don't have... the motivation. Every time I go to pick up the book--- i'll just say, there is little to no studying done these days. I would love some help to get out of this rut. Taking this exam will help me in my career. It will help me be a better employee and a better person.

Nice to meet you all, I hope I can learn a thing or two from you all!

 

Welcome, to help you stay motivated book the exam as that will give you something to work towards.

 

Hi, what’s your experience with IT? I don’t think it wise to jump straight for the Sec+ without the A+/relevant work experience at a minimum.

 

Hello Juelz,,
I'm actually not sure whats on the A+ Exam, but I've seen around that A+ isn't worth it. Whats your stance?

 

Thanks brother! A few people have said that actually. I'm thinking I will take the exam in April/May. I will try to schedule that soon.

 

Thanks brother!

 

Welcome to CF!

As Rob says book the exam then you know the date to work towards. If it helps I hated reading books but I read a book for about 30 minutes before I went to bed or when I got up in the morning for another 30mins. After about 2 weeks I gradually increased this to about 45 minutes. Now I can read a book for about 2 hours without a break.

I did the same with online videos and gradually started to watch longer ones.

Hope this helps a bit

Kind Regards

Rob

 

If you really want it, only you can make it happen. There's always time for studying.

Stop playing video games, watching TV, going out with friends for 6 months and you'll have plenty of time.
