Before the pandemic, remote work was relatively uncommon, especially outside of certain industries like IT. However, between 2019 and 2022, remote work saw a 540% increase. This means that you are now competing with more people for the jobs that were never enough.

To beat the competition, you have to become a unicorn - A talent that is irresistible and stands out by default. How do you become a unicorn?

You have to cross the T.

As a specialist, you are competing with thousands, if not millions of specialists like you. A reliable way to break out of that is to learn more specialist fields. For example, if you're a software developer, learning about UX design, cloud, and project management could help you reduce competition to a few hundred.

You can learn as many more skills as you want until there’s almost nobody with your combination of skills. But this is easier said than done. It takes years of hard work and commitment. That’s why we encourage you to lock into that No Distraction Zone, now.
