Take ten minutes to picture yourself living one of the Life Design Models for Jacks-of-All-Trades. Both of them are described in the chapter. What would be great about it? What would it be missing for you?

Now do the same, for ten minutes, with one of the Careers for Jacks-of-All-Trades:
- Contract work
- Multiple income streams

If you are an unsatisfied Jack-of-All-Trades, create a Backward Planning Flowchart for moving toward one of these careers.
