Summary
You may be surprised by my message today. After all, I’m the first person to encourage you to be ambitious. But I want to warn you of the danger of trying to be good at too many things or, at least, the tendency to label yourself as an expert in too many areas. I give you a real example from my own life, and share a brilliant quote from the infamous Jameson (who you may know from my YouTube videos) that will inspire you to stay focused on your passion.

| 0:00.0 | Matthew Hussey here with Love Life. Have you ever wondered whether you should date more |
| 0:06.5 | than one guy at a time? Every dating expert seems to have a different opinion on this. |
| 0:12.2 | But what did Guy has really think about a woman who keeps her options open? Well I'll tell |
| 0:17.4 | you how to get the answer at the end of the show. First, let's get into today's episode. |
| 0:23.1 | I'm going to talk today about a certain type of person that drives me absolutely crazy. |
| 0:31.4 | And that is the person with a really vague business card or title. This annoys me. You say, |
| 0:38.5 | what do you do? And they go, oh, I'm an actor, singer, writer, director, producer, composer, |
| 0:47.7 | philanthropist. They'll literally give you a business card and it will have four different |
| 0:54.7 | things on it that they are. And as soon as I look at that business card, I'd stop taking them |
| 1:01.4 | seriously at that point. When we get too vague about what we are and when we start throwing |
| 1:08.3 | I'm this and I'm that and I'm that, it begins to make people take you less seriously. |
| 1:16.0 | Because you're not excelling in any one thing. That doesn't mean you can never change what you are. |
| 1:21.5 | But a key rule of marketing is to figure out who you're trying to appeal to and then do that |
| 1:27.6 | really, really well. You know, I know in my career, I knew that I was about more than just giving |
| 1:34.0 | women dating advice. I love giving women dating advice. But I also know that I'm more than that. |
| 1:38.9 | There are so many different things that I do. But when I, when I, and this was by the way, |
| 1:43.6 | this was a big dilemma I had. When I used to go on TV and they used to say, how do you want us to |
| 1:48.4 | introduce you? And I would hate, hate the fact that they would only call me a date in coach. |
| 1:55.9 | Because there were so many other things I do. Those of you that really know me, you know that I do |
| 1:59.5 | five day retreats where we focus on everything outside of dating. We focus on your life, your health, |
| 2:05.0 | your career, your finances, your confidence, everything. So to go on TV and for someone to say, |
| 2:11.1 | we have a dating coach, Matthew Hussey, which by the way, they still do is frustrating at the best |
