Build a respected and well-paid career in tech with Momentum Academy

My story — 3 years ago

I felt stuck in my job. Unable to move forward in my career.

Life in a big organization can be frustrating.

So can transitioning into a new role.

I always loved solving problems with technology.

I could see solutions to all kinds of problems in my workplace every day. If only I had the tools to work on one or two of these problems.

I wished there was a path where I could realize my full potential.

What I believed

I thought that path was all about working harder and studying harder.

Taking online courses in cloud computing and full stack development.

Getting more skills.

I hoped that with enough effort, maybe a company would pick me up as a software developer. Then I would spend 3–5 years learning how to build web applications with code.

Then get promoted.

Or maybe, I would have a great business idea, convince my wife to let me pursue it, live on some savings we had built up, and build a company.

The discovery

Then I found the platform Bubble.io.

I paid $800 (USD) and took a Bubble Bootcamp.

I worked around 30hrs per week on learning Bubble and building a minimum viable product.

Within 5 months, I’d left my job and started Momentum Group.

It was just me, doing short consulting gigs and teaching Bubble to anyone who wanted to learn!

What struck me was the huge demand for people who:

• knew Bubble
• could communicate effectively
• could build a digital product end to end

There was a huge demand for people that could create value for the organizations, solving problems with tech.

Now

Fast forward 3 years.

I’ve built a consulting business with over 20 full-time team members and over $1mil (USD) revenue annually.

As the Managing Director at Momentum Group, I’m helping a number of businesses scale up their products or services — while developing my own cohesive product team.

If I wanted a job, I could land a well-paid CTO job at any number of progressive startups embracing Bubble and no-code low-code (NCLC) tools.

The results

I’m no longer stuck, wondering “What if”.

I took action and made the leap into a new phase of my career.

My journey hasn’t been an easy one, but I really love the work I get to do, and the impact I get to make.

I’m 100% satisfied in my role as a Bubble Developer and product leader.

Momentum Academy

In our Momentum Academy program, we teach everything you need to be an end-to-end Bubble developer and product manager.

But most importantly, we teach you how to make the same journey that my colleagues and I have made.

Free online resources are good for learning specific skills, but Momentum Academy teaches you what you need for success, including:

• how to talk about your solutions so that people will take notice
• how to estimate work, price work, and negotiate your rates
• how to go from step one in a new industry to reaching your career goal

We do all of this with a deep knowledge of product building on Bubble and the current state of the industry, based on over 30,000 hours of collective team experience using Bubble.

Our course is 100% up to date with the latest in the Bubble world and will help you adapt and transform into the successful Bubble Developer that you can be.

Other courses focus on the basics. We’ll take you all the way to your goal.

About me

During this time, I’ve also taught Bubble and digital product building to over 150 students as a:

• Bubble Bootcamp Instructor (Bubble offered Bootcamps until mid-2022)
• Bubble Immerse Instructor
• Director of our own Momentum Academy program

I love teaching and mentoring.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned as an educator and built a program that is next level.

I’d love you to meet my team and I, so we can help you on your path to success with Bubble!
