It may sound a little harsh, but I think one of the reasons why people struggle so much to "make money" is that they ask the wrong questions.
Here's a little experiment to try for the next 30 days.
Everytime you think to yourself "how can I make money", change it to "How can I add value to peoples lives".
-What problem can I solve?
-What pain can I alleviate?
-What can I improve?
-How can I make peoples lives easier, safer, better, more comfortable, less stressful, more convenient?
Think about big, hugely successful companies and what they have done.
-Classified ads to Ebay.
-Boring old coffee shop to Starbucks.
-Slow money orders and checks in the mail to Paypal.
Always think about the end results. For organizational skills, people really want to be more productive, have less stress, have more free time. That might be a big benefit.
I would also agree about mastery vs dabbling. It's very hard to do much dabbling.
