    So I've been at this entrepreneur thing for over a year, plus the couple of years before that fixing my mindset and habits. It's been tough, I've learned a lot and I've had many challenges along the way. A couple of weeks ago I bumped into an old high school friend who owns a local cafe with...

    Are you a Multipotentialite/Polymath?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think this is where I put my twist on the definition. I develop a goal and a reason for pursuing and learning something. To master something, in my mind, would mean you have found something that you consider your life's work or that would consume a large portion of your life. That isn't to...

    I think though that's why there are so many words floating around for this phenomenon. Polymath is quite specific and has it's definition, same for all the other titles that have been made for it, they differ slightly in definition. I guess where I'm coming from is the need to fulfill the...

    Thanks for the reply. Didn't realise Steve Jobs did calligraphy, but his reasoning is what I'm talking about, because he was interested and for no other reason. I love that quote too, " I collect hobbies". I will probably actually use that one :rofl:

    I see what you are saying. When i start learning something new, I always have a goal to achieve, whether it's to produce something to a certain standard or gain a certain level of understanding or ability. I never have to many new challenges on the go at once, I always try to focus on one...

    You're a model example of what I'm talking about :) that cake is pretty impressive. And I'm pretty sure that dog is loving his bed.

    I like it, a lot of things in there that I'm interested in, I'm mainly getting my hands dirty with metal work at the moment. Can I ask what kind of airbrushing you have done?

    There's some great points here that you've made. I agree people see it as spreading yourself thin, but for me I feel it's what I need to do to function, to keep my brain ticking over. As for taking the new skill, developed out if interest, then going out to sell it, fundamental sales skills...

    This is a big part of it I think.

    Yes! I think we're on the same wavelength. There's a particular sense of satisfaction that comes of it but I just can't quite put it into words.

    Yeah I completely agree, you need to be able to do various things in business, especially when capital is lacking or you are just starting out. I'm talking a little more generally, not business related though, more lifestyle/way of life.

    Hey I absolutely left a lot out, the things I want to try or things that I knew I no longer wanted to pursue is an endless list. Thanks for sharing though, you seem to share a lot of similar interests.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    In this case I disagree. I'm not chasing all of these skills to further my career, make money, keep up to date or turn it into some business idea. It's purely out of interest. I discover something that really draws me in, I learn all all about it, set a goal and have a go. That goal is at...

    Are you a Multipotentialite/Polymath?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    So I stumbled across this term last year some time, while it sounds corny at first, I realised I fit the definition. "A multipotentialite is a person who has many different interests and creative pursuits in life. Multipotentialites have no “one true calling” the way specialists do." The term...

    Thanks for the reply @MJ DeMarco , I appreciate it. I hope something like this can be developed during my time on the forum. This is exactly what I mean. It's not about people with money, that would be for the wrong reason. People who are supportive and inspiring, living and loving life are...

    I shed myself of my dead weight "friends"

    PEOPLE 
    Thanks for the reply. It's good to hear from someone else that what I am doing is contributing positively to where I am going. I guess for me I'm thinking more about the now because there are so many changes happening and not thinking as much about the end game and what comes with it.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I looked up my local jaycees and it looks interesting. I will likely get in touch with them to find out more. As for other groups, that's something I will have to go and figure out, but it's a start as I hadn't even thought about it.

    Trying to increase art sales to help fund another business. I need some feedback?

    Art is absolutely possible to bring in a little cash to keep your head above water while you work on your project. The biggest issue is what you are charging for your work. Average people can't justify spending lots of money on art or don't understand why you charge what you do. I am an...
