Are you one of those street smart people who consider themselves "jack of all trades" . Well you cant be jack of "all" trades but still, having knowledge in various fields can either make you a millionaire or drive you crazy .
But now the question is that if you fall in this category and you keep on regretting about the missed chances in X feild while you were concentrating on Y and considering yourself a guru in X as well . Well i used to be one of you ,i can't deny that i still am despite working for almost 10 hours a day at the office, i still want to learn other things which can make me rich.
I managed to get a job on the basis of what i believed and what i created,
Here are some brief tips from a guy who was all blurred until he discovered this .
Focus on what you believe the most:Currently i work as a full time video editor for an indian tech website. I believed in social media and the internet since i discovered it. It all started with me consuming content on you tube and dailymotion back in 2013 and eventually ended up by me making videos and editing them as a career. i have been working with clients all around the world as a professional video editor since the last 1 year and now got a job just on the basis of my editing skills.
Acquire new skills everyday:If you are into social media, learn video editing. if you are a writer, why not try to make a video on what you write. if you are a painter,go make that speed paint and get famous. no one is there to stop you,its just your own self which tells you not to entered so called unsafe territories. I say enter them and extract a lesson out of them.
Rinse and repeat until you get there : Nothing comes instantly and so does skills. if you want to professionally work in an industry,try to understand that industry and the problems that you can solve.
4.Try to document your madness:Gary vaynerchuk said this in 2013 that snapchat will be real big in the next 5 years and it became huge. Now if he was not documenting his words, they would have meant nothing today but being who he is, he did . If you document your views in the form of video,photo,text or even audio. maybe you will be able to make an impact on the people who didn't understood you just because you were too-much of a predictor
