Dan, what do you think about radio advertising - radio marketing? What’s your opinion about it. Thank you! Your videos and stories are great!

Reminds me of a quote from Bruce Lee. "I don't fear a man who practiced 10,000 different kicks. I fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times." Meaning that man who practiced one kick over 10,000 times has become a master of it and is extremely dangerous. Same thing in the business world, just focus on one at a time. Good advice Mr. Lok.

It is true an entrepreneur is a generalist, but they can still specialize in a field at the same time

It reminds me of a quote that says " am not afraid of someone who practiced a thousand kicks but am afraid of someone who practiced one kick a thousand times"

Dan is like a refresher course... Years ago I knew all this and studied it and listened to all the tapes and read all the books and I applied all of this self-help knowledge to my life and when I picked one thing and focused on it I was very successful... But life happens and sometimes you get sidetracked and really off course... But listening to people like Dan I see myself getting back on course and focused again... It's never too late ... I'm 52 years old and I've seen and learned and know a lot... yes I got off track here and there but in the process of that I learned a lot and realized things I should and shouldn't be doing... I guess things aren't that bad because compared to most people I'm living a pretty good life, but there is always room for improvement... Adios from the mountains of Guatemala Lake Atitlan

Specialists will never have a new ideah that will make the old tools or prosses obsolete... when the new way is easyer, the one still doing it the old way will find himself out of work.

In my industry (Media) something I started to study 10 years ago, I had a focus to be one thing, but the University I went to and could only go to (Long story) did not focus on that in practicality, and I became a Generalist in all things it takes to "Make" the thing I wanted to be. It was years later I found I was a damn good generalist. But years later I found out people wanted a "Great SPECIALIST". 10 years on and I still struggle in trying to make money. Time is catching up to me and I need to refocus on what I go into all this in the first place.

I'm a jack of all trades and this enables me to speak multiple 'languages' in the software industry. As a result I am able to employ specialists to work for me. Specialists are mostly employees while Jacks are entrepreneurs.

Dan has the perfect combination of confidence and being down to earth. He is willing to show his weaknesses and speak about them with ease.

As a MASTER MECHANIC having to learn A/C,Electrical, and still learning I will say being a jack of all trades is Good because it Keeps the Mind fresh and Learning. That is what the mind loves to do. Knowledge is power

Dan spittin’ knowledge!

One this is true here: jack of all trades operate from a generalized perspective; masters of one, specialized.

Focus on mastering one thing at a time, and stack another one on top on it over time. Thank for Sifu Dan!

I"m after absolute mastery!.. on the road to mastery.. hope you'll do the same and add great value to this world! Happy 2020!!

Absolutely, this was my problem. I could not stick to one thing and thinking that dabbling in a lot would help me out. I was so wrong.

This really spoke to me . You know the truth Dan, thank you for sharing. This is what I really needed.

Great advice as always Dan!

I have always been a jack of all trades i can learn something new very fast but as soon as the first hiccup happens I bail out and try something new because it is hard. I have been superficial and shallow minded. I am finally seeing that. Thank you Dan.

I think there are skills that naturally stack with each other. For instance, public speaking and copywriting both benefit each other. If you can find a tree of high value skills that all benefit each other, you'll build your skills more rapidly than one who is working on a disjointed tree or latter of skills.

Thats why I need to stop listening to the people around me telling me: "Yeah.... but let's work on your weakness.."

This subject never gets old especially for us creative types of entrepreneurs. This is truly a golden rule. And I appreciate that you used yourself as an example Dan.

I teach you how to change a lightbulb and you teach me how to start a business. I love your videos man!

“Wealth is committing to one idea over time”. Hmmm. I have a few business ideas in mind, but I suppose I should explore them later after attaining success with my current business. Thanks! 😸

From fortune telling to ecommerce, to real estate learning to video marketing. I need to FOCUS!

Thank you Sifu Dan , love your value and meaningful talk in this video ! It makes me to refocuse again and i love the art of the master of one and what I called also "One Bite At A Time" 🙏

Dan I LOVE your videos, this particular one is as though it was directed to me particularly, I appreciate you Dan I really do,I really hope to meet you face to face one day.

I love your experience and your logic in changing the reality and I advise everyone to follow you |•| From Roma Italia 🇮🇹 With Love 💓

Sifu you are really amazing! It can be described in your own one line sentence and that is Position NARROW Reach WIDE. It's one of my affirmations.

There is nothing like doing business. You have the places to organize events, growing number of customers, business contact, bank contact, equipment, media presence. I mean, you have so much more resources than people who are working for others. You also bring in customers and help local economy. I am all for more business.

Wow, this is so true in everything. From even the age of 8 or so when I played videogames alot, I could tell that playing 10 different games made me bad at all of them.

You are the one and only that has inspired me more then any other guru or mentor on KZread you are genuine, straight forward and you give the accurate solutions of what I am looking for. Thank you sifu you are the only one who has shaped my mindset at such an early age I am just 16 now and you have gave me an clarity in life

This is a lesson I recently learned after a few business failures and now decided to stick to one. You're absolutely right Dan.

The full quote is "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one" - Meet Viktor Vicsek. You shouldn't condemn people who have abilities that's you dont. Michael Jordan was successful as a player, fashion icon-business owner/ and motorcycle and basketball team owner etc. Furthermore he was the most popular baseball player during his time in the league which equaled money for him and the league. Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo, Himotep, and Nikola Tesla are calibrated for the courage they used to be a "jack of multiple trades". Never let anyone tell you, "you cant be amazing at many things". If it only takes 10,000 hours to become an expert on a subject you have enough time to master At LEAST 8 disciplines if you take your time and live until 80. Just never stop learning. I'm a musician, singer, studio owner, custom studio builder, acoustician, composer, general contractor, electrician, hvac technician, plumber.... Brake the stereotypes 💯

Yes Sifu laser focus and stack on your success. Main thing is wealth and wealth is to master one thing at a time

Dear King Dan Lok, We love you!

This speaks to my problems. I was struggling with all the skill sets I have for being the jack of all trade only to realize that what was missing from me jumping from one skill to another skill was lack of process, framework, strategy, order, and the structure was my problem. especially me being raised in an unstructured country in Africa Nigeria. Now I'm in my 40s and I'm tired with nothing to show for it. Seeing your video now has given me a change of perspective but my problem now is I don't know where to start any and what to let go anymore because of the time I have invested developing these skill sets. I really value all of these skills especially now that I have realized that it was a lack of order and structure for all these years hence why I jumped from one skills to the other. I'm currently doing a course on Digital business analysis/digital Project management which was were i discovered how to manage control and monitor crate order processes and framework and structure in the UK and I'm still struggling to let go of my old skill sets especially now that I have created order and structure to them. but for some reason, they are still too many to me. The question now is how do I make a decision to drop them off and focus on what thing because right now, I'm so emotionally attached them knowing the number of years has invested without making much money off it as I never went to business school and now that have created order and structure to them, I'm now finding it difficult to pick one: These are my Jack of all trade as follows: Web designer, Music video director, a rapper which was the reason why I went through this path in the first place as I wanted to handle everything on my own all by my self . , so, Music producer, event, wedding, videography, Music publisher and / Music Digital distribution. Now I'm currently studying project management /business analyst and then specialize in business intelligence man, I'm so confused right now I need help.

Dan Please make a video on Communication Skills.

Thanks You My Mentor Dan Lok I Wish I Will See You At Canada.

*Did you read my mind and struggle rn??? THANK YOU SM SIFU* 😂😂😂

Sifu, this is a great video and I love the MJ analogy! If you want to be an expert at a certain skill it makes perfect sense to focus solely on that. As one of your HTC students I am truly grateful for your mentor ship. I am now laser focused on mastering this skill. As Master Electrician by trade, I would be happy to Mentor you on light bulb changology anytime!

Dear Dan and team, thanks so much for the content! My question would be, how do I know I'm doing the right thing?

I have seen you in numerous videos saying when you are young, you do this etc.. what about people who lost business halfway in their life and trying to stand on their feet. I meant who are in their 40s to 50s.. thank you for all the great videos.

You are talking to me sifu, I am learning a lot sir. I salute thee.

God speaking through you,thanks!

Dan Lok, thanks for the knowledge you are providing. You've helped me grow my biz, my social media, and my KZread channel. You rock!

absolutely love this

Dan, I have a question for you: Is FB Ads writing and targeting the perfect audience a skill? I mean making the perfect FB ads is a skill?

How do you find what skill or skills are right for you or what should you master?

"I don't know how to change a light-bulb" LOL this was great. Thanks for the video man, great points.

One of the best video ever made!!! thanks sifu dan, appreciate your effort and the video content....thumbs up

Changing a light bulb is easier than opening a wine bottle.

Im 10, I have mastered everything. I could speak 50 languages, had graduated from Oxford and Yale, took Nuclear Physics degrees, Electrical Engineering, and Astromy. Not just that, I am able to play basketball, football, tennis, ping-pong, karate, taekwondo, etc. Also great at math, science, linguistic, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and biology. It is all true, I am proud being a jack of all trade, unlike other peasants, I am great at everything! Don't get me wrong or jealous, I have IQ of 253, bet no one would be able to beat my score, lol.

Is making excuses sometimes good of us? Normally, I try to push myself a little bit. It puts a slight pressure on me. But sometimes when I make excuses or sympathize myself, I feel relieved, no pressure and it also makes me happy to go on as well.

Thanks, Dan Lok, for the video. I'll be meditating on this for a bit.

Hey Dan. I have been following your work for quite a while and i saw that you teach high ticket closing in your HTC program in 7 weeks. in this video you tell it takes years to develop a high income skill. i really wanted to do HTC but the question which my parents were asking was how can anyone give you such a skill in 7 weeks. It would be of great help if u would answer this question.

@andreassloth5130

5 жыл бұрын

That's a good question, Hussain. Most people are used to going to school for several years to learn something, so I understand your concern. The 7 weeks are very intense, and Dan will teach you exactly what you need to be successful with HTC, and it's up to you to implement what you learn. It takes years to master a skill, but by having a life-time access to HTC, you have the ability to constantly learn. If you believe you're ready to learn from Dan, click here to attend his free Masterclass - therichmindset.danlok.link

What would you do if for example, you are website designer/developer (solopreneur / freelancer) then you can't focus only on one skill, you also have to learn marketing and sales. It is really hard to learn and improve in 4 skills at the same time. What do you do?

Would anyone be able to answer this question? If one has devoted so much of their life towards one thing, is it wrong to abandon that practice if you believe your fate belongs elsewhere?

Yep same here I pretty much follow the same path now I have a track to run on

My business is specifically a Jack-of-all-trades style business. I offer everything from music production to dog-sitting to automotive work to full-service home repairs. I stand by my quality and professionalism... I can do it all on my own. I rarely decline rewarding projects, even when they're challenging. What about being REALLY GOOD at all trades, not just a "Jack"?

I see you have got the graphics depth with the animated text. Great work. Keep the videos coming.

Astounding and resounding advice directly from the one and only Dan Lok!

Such an inspiration! Love your contents and you are the reason I make my own sucessful youtube contents!!! You made me lots of money

Thanks for sharing! Great advice, very useful 👍👍🙂

What if while focusing the majority of my resources on mastering my "one skill" i'm making enough money to be able to set aside a small portion (not a lot). Should I be learning about investing to educate myself on what to do with the cash in the interim?

Thank you so much Dan 😇

Please Mr.Dan, can you upload a video talking about the problems within the company? ( how to behave with bad peaple etc ) I'm in need. Looking forward for it

Sifu, I’m running a office supplies and printing shop (paper + tshirt) and also doing photo and videography on the side. Does these considered “jack of all trade”? Or they’re in the same industry of multimedia?

This was something I had trouble with until a couple of years ago. I always wanted to be the best at everything so I spent my time being better than average at a lot of things instead of focusing on one thing that I'd be a master at. Slowly but surely getting there.

Your awesome Dan. keep doing what you are doing.

Focusing on HTC Sifu . HTC is my focus for the next 2 years and then i start learning copywriting and focus on it for 1-2 years and then public speaking

If you hadn't experience those different things you may have never been where you are today. Focusing has definitely its purpose in the right circumstances.

Waoo what a great video that is so informative,thank you so much Dan Lok for being so precise direct and truthful l you have really spoken to me today sir. I will definitely flow your advice. God Bless you

what if i just master doing real estate, study as much as i can to it, learn from others and just devote myself to acquiring it. Is that considered a skill? or is it a commitment? and do i still need to master a skill or just stay committed to it, will make things work for me.

This video actually open my mind to focus on my pharmaceutical competence. Very Good content!

thank you I want to hear that...

I feel like people are often missunderstanding what "Jack of all trades means". They think so-called "Jacks" are expert in every field, while they just have enough knowledge to fill empty spot when someone is absent, or proper replacement is not found yet. It is more of a backup option instead of designed role. Jacks are still experts in their topic, they are just flexible enough to take care of other role when you really need someone at least decent.

Much needed... thankyou 🤗

Very helpful video I'm currently in the exact same situation where I'm interested in many things and are now about to set the focus on one to become successful Thanks Dan!

I think it’s ok to try different things in your 20’s but after a while you have to pick something and go with it,because time is running...❤️✌🏻 thanks dan

I have a question! How do you start HTC if you have no experience who is going to hire you?

I'm grateful Dan.... Love from India 🇮🇳

Dan I really want to know where to find clients to do closing or copywriting on because most of them asks for high school graduates and have degrees with hours of expirience. But I am a none experienced 15 year old boy who wants to start making money early on

My problem is, is that they’re all so different. Since I was younger I’ve wanted to be an artist. I drew everyday and I can honestly say I’m pretty good and would love and enjoy art school and becoming a famous artist✨. but then I fell in love with biology, chemistry, anatomy. I watch surgeries, videos, and take AP biology and chemistry in school. I develop a true passion for health care and want to be a NP and that in and of its self is hard enough but I would love it, honestly. Helping people and learning how amazing the human body is 🤯 mind blowing lol. but then I also want to own my own business/restaurant and have many great ideas and think about it often. Like a restaurant on a boat, and no I don’t mean a cruise, cruise has entertainment and you stay for a long period of time. This is just a restaurant. You get on, the boat sails around the coast, doesn’t go far from the mainland, for about an hour while you eat, enjoy the view, talk then you get off, next set of people get on. I’ve searched and I haven’t found one I think it would be such a good idea ☺️. Making my own money and working for myself and all the hard work of perfecting a business that you grew yourself. Love it. And then I want to be a writer, I’m writing a book on wattpad. And just agghhhhh so many thing that I love and want to master and I wouldnt mind doing any of these for the rest of my life. I have passion and love for all of them. Rn I’m 17 and applying for colleges as a nursing major and minoring in art but honestly I’m conflicted. I would LOVE to master all of these to ✨absolute perfection✨ and make a career out of all of them, but it’s probably best to keep some as hobbies. 🥺😭

I noticed a lot of people talking shit about people like Dan, grant cardone, garyvee, etc because they don’t give specific instructions on how to get rich 2 reasons they dont 1. You can get rich doing multiple things different per person 2. They want you go be in it for more than the money so a formula that just gives you money will not last

Dan Lok I definitely agree with you. If your not focused, then you can't give something your all

Good job at distinguishing how to prioritizing things

Dan please tell what is the next big thing is coming years , like something new because all this skill are so competitive nowadays, I want to start my career with something different skill

Hey Dan, I'm not good in English. Can you tell me what is the fastest way to speak in English fluently ?

This arrived just in time. Thank you Dan.

Sifu dan talk about your favourite books

Hey Dan , I’m only good at business, marketing and selling things . How can I be more successful in what I’m doing ? Also I will invest in things but i don’t know in what could be in. What can you help me or recommend

Eventually the jack of all trades is going to hire those specialists to build his vision 😁
