Save Time, Save Money, And Learn
There are so many things you can do yourself which aren’t nearly so difficult as you may imagine. We all remember being kids, right? Dad told us to do some menial chore, like dig a twenty-foot ditch three inches deep for a water line he’s planning on running across the yard. Well it’s an hour’s chore; but it takes your ten-year-old self three or four days.
You hate every moment under the sun with your hands on that splintery shovel. That memory sticks in your craw for decades, and one day you’re thirty, and you have to dig a ditch, and your stomach knots because you remember that experience from twenty years ago.
But then you apply yourself, dig like a madman, and find the job done in less than an hour, a pleasant sweat on your brow, and a nice tightness to your muscles. What’s more: not only did you do the job, but you did it well. Suddenly you realize: many of your preferences are rooted in the initial experience, not the actual experience. What more can you do?

Cumulative Preparedness
Today’s economy is uncertain. Though it is on the rise currently—reaching record levels, in fact—everyone seems to have this feeling that “the other shoe” is going to drop at any moment. You need to develop the ability to make or do anything you envision. Getting that skillset is more simple than you may realize.
Simply put, to be a “Jack of all trades”, all you really need to do is give diverse things a shot. Sure, nobody is good at everything. But everyone can be good at more than they realize, if they only try.
