    About this ebook

    ADDRESS TO: The One, who has an insatiable craving for acquiring new knowledge, developing new skills, or nurturing existing talents...

    You are here "reading this" right now because you want to be able to learn all sorts of things in a short amount of time, whether to further your understanding of the world, master your craftsmanship, or continue your never-ending quest for learning.

    By being knowledgeable...

    * You will be able to impress others with your wide array of knowledge, as a walking human-encyclopedia.

    * You will excel at whatever work you do, by being the smartest and brightest among your co-workers, colleagues, and peers.

    * You will move up in society and be ahead of the pack, as success is a proportion in relation to knowledge.

    Indeed, knowledge is power, but everlasting applied knowledge is omnipotent - as a "Jack of all trades." Being a "Jack of all trades" is not about being skilled with minimal superficialities, but with multiple specialties across all boards of platform.

    Now why would you want to opt for "Jack of all trades"? For the simple reason - never put all your eggs in one basket. You want to diversify and become well-rounded in your endeavors; however, on the other hand, you only have so much hours in a day to do things...let alone learn everything under the sun.

    Yet throughout history, there were those fascinating individualists of worldly culture, vast interests, myriad skills, remarkable erudition, and unfathomable capabilities - who we've come to know them as the "Renaissance men," who seem to not only KNOW everything...but DO everything as well. Now that's applied knowledge at its finest!

    What these polymaths could do is very real and obtainable, but the secret question is...how?

    Contained within "Jack of All Trades" - is everything you need to know about improving your learning and mastering your skills quickly, and what it takes to be a modern Renaissance person, or in this case "Jack of all trades."

    * How to hack the learning process that would normally take 10,000 hours minimum to master any skill (to go from apprentice to master) into only 1 week, so you're not limited to only able to master on average 7 skills in a person's lifetime.

    * How to properly pursue multiple things at once, which most people do completely wrong and end up getting nowhere, but do it right and you will not only find effective ways of doing things but approaching life as well.

    * How to read faster, listen better, and learn effectively with synchronized speed learning, that will take your learning experience to a whole new level.

    * How to develop a photographic memory to grasp and remember things at a glance and retain them with ease, so you won't forget anything.

    * How to get into teaching and be a great teacher yourself, to not only be more of a master of your crafts but leave your marks upon the world as your immortalized legacy (like the great Renaissance men of the past).

    ...and that's only barely scratching the surface - being compacted with tons of information to ultimate learning, studying, teaching, and mastering.

    Become the rare breed who is multi-talented with your multiple masteries and endless knowledge. Become the contradicting enigma other people are drawn to by your mysterious aura, attractive charisma, and refreshing ways of thinking, doing, and being. Become the multifaceted modern Renaissance man or woman.

    Who am I? I am the YOU that you shall soon to be.

    Until we meet,
    - Mr./Ms. Jack of all Trades

    Your New Wild Ace in the Hole

    The Pursuit of Life, Truth and Knowledge

    The natural desire of good men is knowledge.

    - Leonardo da Vinci

    Want to hear a sad sob story about life and education? You can expect around 80 years of living it up, and then follow an infinity of nothing. But let's be frank - you won't be learning the mysteries of the universe when you're a teenager or when you're bedridden.

    Assuming you start actively seeking knowledge around age twenty and decide to intellectually retire at 70, you have around 50 years to pack as much of the universe into your brain as you can. Fifty years sounds like an ample amount of time...until you stop to consider the sheer amount of information floating around the cosmos. Everything from the names of constellations to how to play guitar...do you have a thirst to know everything?

    When comes to fully mastering any skill, such as playing the piano, going pro in golf, or even knowing how to act in various social situations, the general consensus of most experts is that 10,000 hours are required. (*That's equivalent to about 417 days per skill.)

    Since it's physically impossible to pull something like that off, let's say that you spend 4 hours a day on your chosen skill. This translates to 7 years’ worth of work for one skill. So you can expect to master 7 skills in your lifetime (around 49 years).

    Obviously, there are variables of cards at play here. You might be a child prodigy, you might live to be 120 years old, or you might possess enough talent that the 10,000 hours generalization doesn't apply. Still, these possibilities are the outliers.

    What you need to realize, right now, is that you can't just rest on your laurels for thirty years and then suddenly decide to make something of yourself when you hit midlife crisis. (If you've already bought the little red sports car and hired someone half your age to wash it suggestively, never fear.
