My 5-Step Plan to Redefine the Future for Power BI Professionals (Thanks Mom!)

I had shared earlier, how my Mom had inspired me to define what I want my life to be about. Our Mission Statement 🙂 :-

"Be the Thread that Connects and Empowers Others"

I have been thinking about how do I now live the mission in the way I support you and all my students & followers inside LearnPowerBI and the Power BI Consultant Program.

Sharing my thoughts with you, because I would certainly need your help in fulfilling this mission.

#1 Empower New Members in LearnPowerBI Program

It takes the most effort to get a car from 0 to 10mph. How can we best help our new members, just when they are getting started with the program?

How can we

• Really be there for our new members
• Provide them support, hold their hand, guide them
• But more importantly, have them connect with each other & support each other

#2 Empower Existing Members in LearnPowerBI Program

How can I support our existing members?

• Can I take all the Power BI Questions I get and create a Library of Power BI Real World Exercises?
• Even better, can I recruit our existing members to create that content?
• Can I teach them how they can create their own content? YouTube Videos, LinkedIn Articles or Blogs?

#3 Empower Power BI Job Seekers

The more I teach people Power BI, the more I realize what they really want is to excel in their careers.

They want jobs!!!

• How can I support folks seeking a Power BI related job? From interns to veteran Power BI Professionals?
• Can I teach them all the hard earned lessons from my own career struggle?
• Can I bring together and connect job-seekers and employers?

#4 Empower Power BI Business Leaders (Pioneers!)

I have ran a program to support "Power BI Consultants" for many years. But can I support the aspiring Business Leaders who want to grow within their company (without leaving their job)?

#5 Redefine the Future for Power BI Consultants

This is a big one 🚀. I believe the world is moving where the lines between "Employee" and "Consultant" are going to be blurred. This was already happening, and COVID-19 has simply accelerated the change.

All this is a good thing, because it's a WIN-WIN. Done right, this would lead to more choice and flexibility for both the employer & the consultant.

But there is one problem for the Power BI consultant. We want to be independent, but we don't want to be alone!

• Can I build a community for Power BI Consultants/Freelancers?
• Can we work together and put collaboration before competition?
• Can we create a Power BI Village I had dreamed of many years ago?

Impossible Goals?

I realize that my Mission Statement and my goals are too lofty, too big.

It may take me years to make progress on all my ideas.

There will be setbacks and failures!

There is no guarantee that I may even achieve any of my goals.

But this is my Infinite game*. I could use more players though 😀 (* Don't know what an Infinite Game is? Check out this incredible video by Simon Sinek)
