Funny how often the "jack of all trades" thing is seen as a detriment. My brother has gotten that label many times. He recently started his own business and commented that this is the first time in his life that he feels like being a "jack of all trades" is finally a strength. He's been able to handle most of the aspects of his business very well, without having to hire things out, which has allowed him to save a lot of money and make a profit sooner rather than later. I think we all have a role to play here on Earth. Some of us were built to be really good at one thing, other were meant to have skills in many different things. I adds a spice to life, methinks.

I'm happy to hear you got the spirit of what I was trying to say and were challenged by it. I know it's something I need to remind myself about A LOT. Thanks for stopping by! Thanks a lot Zeenat!

I'm not saying that it's wrong to have business cards printed in a traditional format. I have a fairly "normal" business card myself, which works well for us. My point with this post is just to challenge ourselves to step back to examine the various "norms" in our life to be sure that we're living on purpose and not just mindlessly going along with the crowd.

Just trying to give people some food for thought. But thanks for stopping by and sharing your two cents. Sorry if I came across as presumptuous or condescending, Tyler.

I was just about to give my cards for printing..but am going to hold it off to design something more cool like the suggestions here. I love how youre making us question our own assumptions. We have gotta break out of the mold of "supposedly" and start by going with what our heart tells us to do. Awaken the inner child :) Love your writing style!!!

They're presumptuous and condescending. Sorry, I'll return you to your chorus of "wow, awesome!" comments now.

And I laughed about the cards! I have left over cards in boxes from all the things I've done. Takes up a good sized cabinet, lol! Jack of all trades, master of none my dad would have said! It's ok. I've had a rollicking good time. I could never have imagined I'd do half the things I've done in my 60 plus years. There is something to be said for being open to the possibilities, isn't there? It's not limiting. Enjoyed this immensely! Keep up the great writing! Brilliant has been said – I’ll say it again Magnificent! And I laughed about the cards!

For example, this weekend I had a conversation with someone who's e-mail address was bouncing back to me, so I pulled out my card, tucked away in my billfold (try doing that with the above), and said e-mail me. I'm willing to share my Alpha Omega design. Well, I would still prefer to carry a “snazzy” card in my wallet over a balloon, figurine, clothespin or playing chip.

One of my favorite samples was for someone from an envelope company. The card was shiny gold, and it was a business-card-sized envelope.
