Our education system is geared towards creating specialists. The more specialised and in demand, the higher the financial compensation and prestige.
If you are a generalist, it was tough to reach your full potential until now.
There is a movement afoot towards the single-person business model. It is called the creator economy – and generalists are thriving.
Why?
Because generalists typically are flexible and excited to learn new skills. They are willing to pivot quickly and figure things out as they go.
A most valuable skill during these fast-changing times of uncertainty.
As a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, I’m excited about this development.
How about you?
