All right, welcome to SQL for Noobs.
>> Noobs.
>> Welcome to the course.
We're excited to have you and
have you learn all this and turn from a noob into an elite pro.
>> Yep.
>> But before you start this course, we wanna give you a challenge.
Are you ready?
This is called the 30-second challenge.
And so, for the next two weeks, we want you to,
every single day, just watch 30 seconds.
That's all we ask, only 30 seconds a day.
I mean, you could do more than that, but at least 30 seconds a day, and that's all.
If on Tuesday, you're watching this course and
you watch it for 30 seconds and you have to stop, give
yourself a little pat on the back because you completed your task for that day.
But you have to do this for every single day for the next two weeks.
So if you can commit to that, get out a piece of paper, get your pen,
and write down how you're going to do these 30 seconds.
Because if you say, oh yeah, I'll do 30 seconds, sometime,
whenever I have time, it probably won't happen, so let's think of a trigger.
Think of a trigger, something you do everyday, so right after that
trigger happens you remember, oh, I need to watch my Sequel for Noobs course.
And so Pete, what's an example of a trigger that we do everyday?
>> Yeah, maybe it's after you come home from work, you come home,
you eat dinner, and then you watch some of the course.
Maybe you like to get it done on your commute.
Right when you get on the bus you tag on, you give them your ticket, and
then you watch on the Udemy app.
You just find a time every day to get in 30 seconds,
at least 30 seconds, of viewing.
>> Exactly, so the first thing you write down is your trigger.
What is it going to be?
We'll give you some time to think about, what will I do that, right after I finish,
it will trigger in my mind to watch this course?
So write that down.
Okay, next write down this statement, this promise to yourself,
that says after I do that, I will open up my browser and
start watching this SQL for Newbs course for 30 seconds.
Just write it down, just trust us, just write down.
It'll make your commitment more firm.
All right, so you have that.
We recommend maybe, to make it easier on yourself,
saving our course URL as a bookmark on your browser.
So everyday, for the net two weeks,
we expect you to watch at least 30 seconds a day.
And you know what?
What will happen is you'll start watching 30 seconds and
you'll end up watching five minutes, and you'll finish the lecture.
Soon enough, you'll be done with the course.
We hope this gets you working.
Keep an eye out, because we're gonna select winners to receive prizes for
people who finished our course.
Hopefully, that'll be an extra motivation for you to really finish this course.
So, go ahead.
We really hope you learn a lot from this course, and we'll see you at the end.
>> Good luck, good luck.
>> Peace.
