No Excuses—Just Fucking Do It

Back when I worked at IBM as an Account Manager in Sales, my boss, Denis, had a habit of cutting through bullshit like a chainsaw.

Every time I explained why I couldn’t complete something, he’d look me dead in the eye and say:
👉 “Excuses!”
👉 “Bullshit!”

“Excuses” was his favorite. And, honestly? He was fucking right.

Every time I failed to do something, I’d build this long-ass explanation in my head. First to convince myself, then to convince him. But at the core of it, it was never a real reason—just my ego refusing to admit that I was lazy or that I simply chose to do something easier instead.

That shit was hard to swallow, but it was true.

And I’m grateful for those lessons because I still use them today.

“I’m Pregnant.” And I’m Unemployed. Fuck.

Let’s talk about real pressure for a second.

At one point, I was working a 1-month temporary contract as a Web Developer at a local hospital’s marketing department.

No future plans.
No next job lined up.
Just a 1-month gig, which (luckily) got extended by another month.

And then, one evening, my wife walks out of the bathroom with the most serious fucking face I’ve ever seen and says:

💬 “I’m pregnant. We’re expecting a baby.”

Boom.

The emotions hit all at once—like a damn train crash in my brain.

🔥 Happiness—because we were married for a while and trying to become parents.
🔥 Fear—because I was basically unemployed in a few weeks.
🔥 Panic mode—because my wife was on a temporary contract too, and soon, she’d have zero income for at least 12–18 months.

Shit. Got. Real.

There was no time for excuses. No time for self-pity. No fucking Plan B.

💡 I had to save as much as possible.
💡 I had to find another job.
💡 Not ASAP. Not next week.
💡 RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

No Excuses—Just Execution 🚀

Long story short: I landed a permanent Web Developer role.

But here’s the twist…
It wasn’t actually a dev job.

It was some half-ass “Semi-Developer” role where I did some web development, but most of it was random digital bullshit.

At first, I was happy to have job security. But deep down, I knew:

💡 This isn’t where I want to be.

So while working full-time, with a pregnant wife at home, I grinded like crazy to level up my frontend skills.

And after busting my ass—I finally landed a real frontend developer role at a legit software engineering company. A SaaS product, Agile Scrum, the whole software engineering bullshit package.

And you know what?

💥 Pregnancy, a newborn, a shitty temp job—none of that was an excuse.
💥 It was a fucking kick under my ass to move forward.
💥 To make things happen.

Life’s a Bitch, But You Still Need to Level Up 🎮

Look, life is tough as hell sometimes.
I know that from experience.

⚡ People come into your life.
⚡ People leave your life.

That’s the cycle of life. And you don’t really understand it until you’ve gone through it.

But here’s the thing:
💡 None of that should be an excuse to stop moving forward.

If life throws a pile of shit at you—fine. Take your moment of grief if you need it.

But then?

⚡ Stand the fuck up.
⚡ Pick up your broken pieces.
⚡ Assemble your mental armor.
⚡ And start doing what you do best—learning, adapting, and progressing.

Think of it like a real-life RPG.
🛡️ You grind.
⚔️ You level up.
🛠️ You get better gear.

Except in real life, progress is slow as hell.

You won’t level up overnight.
Sometimes, you’ll grind for months before you see results. That sucks. I know.

But guess what? That’s how everyone who gets ahead does it.

💡 So stop making excuses.
💡 Upgrade yourself.
💡 And move the fuck forward.

🔥 Your next level is waiting. Are you?
