Darcy asked a great question a couple weeks ago and I thought I’d address it in a post:

I wholeheartedly agree with this, but I am a jack of a lot of trades, but master of none. How can I have multiple streams of income when I’m not good enough in any one thing for people to pay money for it?

My answer:

First of all, my husband and I are both, “Jacks of a lot of trades”, and that is a big reason why we have the freedom to work from home. I’ll address that another day. ;o)

PRACTICE!

Focus on one or two skills for a while. Don’t strive to be a perfectionist, strive to do it well and always work to improve.

For example; I quilt, but I am not an “excellent” quilter, but I am better at it now than I was a few years ago. Most people that order quilts from me know nothing about quilting and they think they are perfect, where I can stand back and point out everything not perfect about it. The same thing applies to my cakes and catering, or anything else I do.

I am never completely satisfied with anything I make, there is always room for improvement. The important thing is to keep learning and keep improving. I started cake decorating 23 years ago, I am still learning new things.

You have to start somewhere and it is best to start small.

So start today, spend time reading, watching, learning and practicing what you enjoy doing. Start producing something, then find someone that likes what you have, because the truth is the majority of people are not willing to learn, create and produce. It’s up to us, the industrious ones to keep the economy flowing.
