19 - Being a Generalist and Mastering the #1 Skill For Online Success with Pat Flynn
b'
Today, we have the one-and-only Pat Flynn on the podcast. Pat is a self-described fitness minimalist, expert generalist, and business coach. He has built a six-figure monthly income as a solo entrepreneur, he has one of the top 500 health and fitness wellness blogs, and he\\u2019s an international bestselling author of three \\u201cFor Dummies\\u201d books! Pat also has his own podcast called \\u201cThe Chronicles of Strength,\\u201d which I was on a few weeks ago.
So he\\u2019s pretty qualified for this podcast. The coolest thing about this episode is that Pat has some interesting\\u2014and controversial\\u2014ideas about specialization. While many of us focus on becoming the best we can be at one skill, and focus on doing it better than anyone else\\u2014Pat doesn\\u2019t necessarily agree.
Pat is more of a generalist. And you\\u2019ll see that he has some really solid points on why it may actually be better to be decent at a lot of things, instead of being really good at one thing. Plus, Pat is going to share what he believes is the one thing you absolutely must master in order to be successful with your business.\\xa0
