Are You a Jack of All Trades?
November 26, 2012 2 Comments
Well, then, you get to be a Master of None. Congratulations!
Imagine that title on your business card: Master of None.
Instead (as an individual and as a business), specialize. Differentiate. Be narrow-minded.
A jack of all trades has no unique identity. A JOAT is never a top-of-mind go-to resource.
“Jack of all trades” is not a compliment. Instead, Find Your Two Things. Or, even better, be the Master of One.
(very similar themes in the blogosphere this morning: John Jantsch and Christopher Penn)

About Steve Woodruff
Excellent way to start the day, and a great lead into December, often a month of retrospection and definition. I’ve been reading a good bit about finding common threads in your work/life activities, and the differences between a generalist and a versatilist. Your post and the ones you reference highlight this perfectly. Thx!
