Having many choices is wonderful, but choosing one is powerful

If you have read my post from yesterday, you’d have noticed a glaring issue in my quest to make money on Gumroad: I have nothing saleable yet!

So, the first order of business is to fix that and have one item that can be offered for sale.

That one item needs to be of interest to at least some people who are interested in what it says. In other words, it should answer a question people have.

That one item should be something about which I can say something useful. In other words, I should know enough about that item or should have enough interest in the topic that I will be able to pick up on knowledge in a hurry.

So, what would it be? What is the one item that I need to create?

The trouble is, like most people, I have a wide range of interests and skills. Topics like travel, gardening, copywriting, stock trading, software programming, and interpersonal skills like relationship building, communication, leadership, and public speaking are all interesting to me.

That makes me a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none if I don’t watch it.
