Frustrated for lacking the technical skills to build what I want to create, I have decided to roll up my sleeves, dive into the mud and learn how to code.
Thanks to Code Academy, I must say I'm enjoying learning how to code very much.
It's amazing how a single line of code can make all the difference.

Of course there are steps to follow before that can happen. You must learn how to read the code. It's an entire new system language!!! However, the learning experience thus far has been nothing but eye-opening.
I have already completed 15-hours of Introductory HTML coursework available at Code Academy and am now moving into CSS. side note: I was told this is the best place to learn coding for free. I can now attest it probably is. I give credits to The Hacker Collective for introducing me this platform.
Some key learnings today:
My skillset has always been about making things look great and just perhaps, coding is that skill that will help take my journey to an entire new level.
An entrepreneur often fights a chicken & egg scenario. You need people to believe in you to gain their support. However most of the time they can't see what you see.
It's both good and bad.
Bad because you are going to get a lot of rejection. Good because if the benefits were already obvious - it really isn't that much of an opportunity... do you agree?
