it is not your call, do not pick it. You do not have to take every call. Every job is not meant

for you, and you are not meant for every job.

So, how do you avoid the temptation of jumping everywhere? It is simple! Before you
commit to any trade, take your time to do your research, gather credible intelligence and

make worthy findings. Let your decisions be based on facts, and proofs that you can
thrive, not just on mere emotions or ambitions. Make sure you have your strong reasons

for taking the job or taking into the trade. Those reasons will keep you from looking back

or sideways.

Again, do not jump into anything without thinking it through in your head. Do not jump

before you leap. Even in paid employment, sit down first and count the cost, ask
questions. Will it give you money and rob you of your time, peace, joy, and privacy? Does

it worth it? Will it demean you and make you less than human? Find answer to these
questions and base your decisions on what you come out with. Most often, people who

rush into things also rush out of them. They are the ones you see floating everywhere,
trying out every trade. They are the true Jack of all trades and master of none.

However, being a master of your art does not mean you should be a dummy or a one-way
traffic person. No! There is a difference between multitasking or having multiple streams

of income and jumping everywhere doing everything goes. You will work yourself out
and end up with frustration. When a business or a job is doomed to die, there is no need

flogging a dead horse. You should know when to walk away and when to hold on. That
does not mean you are not a fighter; it means you are smarter. Call it quits when you

could have a glorious exit, do not wait for ignominy and shame. That does not make you

a Jack of all trades.
