Before I share with you my answer, are you new to the podcast. Maybe you are simply overwhelmed and not sure which episodes you want to listen to first. I bet you there are a few episodes you’ve missed that pertain directly to you and can help you with your business right now!I’ve got the answer for you. You can get a customized playlist of Ask Rezzz episodes based around you, your business, and your experience. This playlist is made by minifigs and gremlins directed by me of course, that are handpicked especially for you.I’m always going to suggest you niche down. Let’s get that out there straight off the bat.It’s just a matter of how fast you specialize to that niche and how strongly focused you stick to it.Regardless of your situation, you should always be working towards that niche. In the end, that’s where you’ll want to be to avoid that feast or famine cycle.With that out of the way, I’m a realist. I know you’ve got bills to pay. They will never stop coming in and how well positioned you are on being able to pay those bills will guide my answer to this question.The only time where you’ll here me suggest taking on generalist projects is when you don’t have an income coming in or a nice nest egg of savings that can support you while you structure your specialized business.Let’s face it, when you niche down, it will take longer to get a few projects under your belt than it will as a generalist. That’s just the way the world works. You’ll find way more $15 bottle of red table wine than $250 50-year old bottles of Merlot. I have no idea if that’s the thing, but you get my point.There are more low revenue generating projects out there for many different businesses than there are premium revenue generating projects.So if this is your situation, then go get yourself a generalist project or 2. But all the while you should be spending at least half the time targeting the niche you want your business to serve.Now, if you have a severance from a position you once held, or a savings, or you are even working full-time, go straight for the niche.You have a cushion to sit on for a little bit. You can be a bit selective. You don’t have a HUGE urgent need to bring money in to pay bills because of that cushion.Build yourself some constraints, especially when starting out and you don’t have a full-time job. Tell yourself that you are going to give yourself 2-months of dedicating 100% of the effort towards the niche because you’ve got 6-month cushion. If you can’t get a project or 2 within that timeframe, then dial back the focus to 50% and get yourself some income.And finally if you are working full-time now, there’s no excuse to take on a generalist project. You’ve got income coming in. No doubt you want to leave your job for something better, why would you waste your time on building a reputation in something other than what you want to leave your job for and live the kind of life you want?I hope these scenarios make sense to you. There’s a lot of gray area in between each of them, so please take what I say as a guideline, not gospel, and apply it to your own personal situation and comfort level.But always keep at least half of the effort focused on the specialty.
