Exactly JScott.
Jack Of All Trades seldom get wealthy.
I prefer to specialize
and then if I need expertise in other areas,
to hire for it.
However, that is a very boring way to live
(building wealth is quite boring, isn't it?)
so most people prefer to jump around.
I was having this discussion with a writer friend.
Her first book was very humorous
(won an award for it, actually).
Her second book was the same.
Now she's bored and wants to do a "serious" novel.
Fine, I told her,
but don't expect any of the readers
from your first two novels
to buy it.
Expect to start from zero readers yet again.
So she has a choice...
Do the "fun" thing and make no money
or
do what she knows she does well and make money.
She's going for the first option.
