In this video I talk about the master versus the dabbler mentality.
I believe that mastery is the path to living an extraordinary life. If you look at the most successful, happy and fulfilled people in the world, they are masters.
A dabbler is somebody that starts something but they never finish it, whether that’s a business, a goal, a course, or a relationship. They love the initial excitement and rush of starting something new.
When the dabbler hits a plateau and they get challenged, they jump ship. They move onto something else because the initial newness has worn off. Sure enough, they repeat the same cycle, again and again.
The master is somebody that commits to everything. If they cant find the way, they make the way. There is no plan B. They burn the boat, so they have to take the island, and they understand that there is a process to everything. They view a plateau as an opportunity to grow and find a new answer.
Bruce Lee once said, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times”. Mastering that one kick, as opposed to dabbling with many different techniques and strategies, is a lot more powerful.
The Master vs. The Dabbler? Which one are you? One way to find out is to look at your life and your results.
Choose to be the master. Commit your life to mastery, because this is the path where everything becomes available.

#MASTER #DABBLER #MINDESET #MOTIVATION #LIFEMASTERY
I like you video it’s very helpful thank you
thank you for your advice
It’s like you’re speaking right to me! My wife always tells me I don’t stick to things long enough. Thanks for your wisdom!
Great video Stefan! I see myself as the Master. I used to be a Dabbler because I hanged with other Dabblers.
Thanks!
I also wear a wrist band! But it says ‘Never Quit’.
That’s a super good point. I didn’t think about that. You definitely are who you surround yourself with.
Good video
Thank you for this , needed this so much. Currently going through your K money mastery program and needed that motivation to push through. Thank you please keep doing what your doing 🙂
Thank you so much for posting. I have definitely been dabbling lately. My vision has been blurry lately and its easy to look elsewhere for an easier route. I appreciate you. I am going to stay true to my vision as hard as it seems to accomplish i know if i am going to make it happen i have to focus on it every single day. bless up. -Zoe 🙂
I have to say, I have been a dabbler for a very long time, but I’m pushing myself every day to commit to mastery.
Funny thing is the more you commit the more life throws at you… like it’s saying “so, you gonna quit yet? You normally do.” and that’s tempting, but you just keep building your skill, sticking with it…eventually you’re going to be valuable.
I used to pride myself on being sort of good at a lot of things, but commitment is the only way to build a bridge.
Amazing content 🙂
how do I break out of the dabbler role?
I am a dabbler. I start things and like you said..i build that bridge but never get to cross it. I never see the other side because of excuses, situations and my reasoning. Honestly, I’ve come to slightly understand myself a bit more and I’ve become my worse fear. I hate it. I choose the easy way and ignore the right way. Dabbling has become a huge part in my life and it’s consumed my integrity. The first thing I’m going to change is choosing the right way, no matter how long, exhausting, time consuming it may be. I’m going to choose the right way because I am on the way to mastering myself. Nobody else is going to do it, right?
I am a dabbler
I’m a dabbler honestly just got back into playing the guitar this summer as well as having realized I need to begin making passive income and try to make it to the millions and enjoy every moment I’m starting to hate my laziness and my tendency to lay about honestly
I completely agree . Just want to ask one question to you Stefan. I have seen some people started 25 to 100 business in their life time. But they are master at only few of them. some of them are millionaire and billionaires.Many of them went through bankruptcy multiple times. Are they Masters or Dabblers? Or just using their own formula for success?
I confess, I am a dabbler…I’m gonna change. Thank you Stephan!
i predict this channel will go from 115K subcribers to more than 1 million in less than 3 years
Unfortunately I’ve always been a dabbler… I love the energy and excitement of starting new things, though I’ve always been reluctant to commit to something completely. This video was helpful in forcing me to admit this and begin to move on. Thanks! : ]
Being very honest, I am a dabbler for the longest time. After going through the ups and down of life, I have found the one thing that I am mastering. Forex trading.
Initially, I dabbled into Kindle Publishing as it looked interesting. Now, I’ve told myself that these are the two things. But like what you said, after hitting a plateau, I started again to dabble on to other things.
After realizing that mistake after this video. I will be heading back to doing the only two things that I am mastering. Forex Trading and Kindle Publishing.
Thanks Stephan, if there is a way to have this video recorded down. I will keep it with me 100% and watch it every time I feel like i’m starting to hit that plateau and start dabbling again.
It’s motivate me to be perseverance…. I’m a Dabbler before I became Master….
thank you .i will become master of one thing at a time
I was the tabbler..now I’m willing to change..I was reading all 3 of your ebooks on kindle publishing..I have some short stories and other ebooks written..I didn’t know where to start…now my goal is to purchase the k mastery kindle program and set up my website..stick to one thing…I have a empty bank account..I mean as for $!!!!$$$.so I use to jump from place to place…jewelry making..eBay …I always write everyday..I never settled on the first two…After being near eviction and my boys are grown and gone…I want a car .I’m changing my ways of thing…thanks..great information in your ebooks.
thanks for the information. I realize I have a few areas I need to fulfill and press forward in and make more of a commitment. thanks
Stephan can I have two or three projects at a time? Meaning I organize my time and give each project some time. Is that too dabbling?
This video has so much value for me. I see myself as a Dabbler at the moment but i WILL become a master. Thank you Stefan!
I’m ashmed to say that I used to be a dabbler, but I’m not anymore and I don’t want to be one anymore!!!!
Hi Stefan,
I was a dabbler.
I’m not ashamed of telling it publicly.
I always wanted me in a better place in my life.
Enjoy my life.
i started searching for ways online.
Came across your blog.
Now I’ve bough your K money mastery course.
I’ll started mastering this online platform.
i’ll surely get back to you in kindle full disclosure membership after my first book release.
This is my goal.
I’ll see you soon #Stefan.
I used to be more of a dabbler but I’m becoming a master. I like your idea of having a wrist band to remind yourself to always choose mastery 😉
Hi Stefan. I know your a blogger yourself and I have recently gotten into blogging! I am a product design student and I usually blog about my own products and other cool products/designs I see. I use tumblr but I am not sure if this is the best platform to use as I am quite new to blogging. I aim to talk about other subjects I am interested in as I start to blog more frequently. I would appreciate any tips you have about blogging in general. Is there any other blogging platforms/sites you recommend?
Hello. I found this topic very interesting. I was saying as a young man I was very athletic and master at that craft. Then I got a little older and I couldn’t physically do what I was doing before and spent the next couple years dabbling. Now in my early 40s I find myself hyper focused. I have been an automotive technician for the last 20 years and with the help of people like you have found ways to take it to the next level. I am building a Brand/business called How to Automotive. I have not slept much in the last eight months , working on and molding this business . Thank you for help and motivation!
Just started watching the video and Oh My Goodness I’m A Dabbler!
Awesome video, the bridge idea was inspiring
Thx, I’ve been dabbling some time now with school work and never really stuck to anything, I realized sometimes when I had set myself a time to learn, I would make a silly excuse and not commit to it. I will to try to change this now! 🙂
Amazing! Inspiring! Thank You Stefan…
Great and true information.. You have a lot of different streams of profit from the internet and stock market. At what point did you feel you mastered a profit stream before moving on to the next one ? Thanks !!
Sadly, I am a dabbler…
I use to be a Dabbler and one day I said fuck that! Now I give myself 100% everyday and I love it!
I am a master dabbler!
Hey Stefan, I am a dabbler in certain areas, such as gaining my financial freedom/starting a business/certain personal projects: I find you very inspiring. I did master a number of things, I know what it takes, I play an instrument, I know what it means to practice the same routines day after day and then give one concert, one shot. I mastered relationships. In some areas, I draw a blank: I start a website, run into issues populating it and then it just sits there. It is very frustrating, it feels like I am all by myself battling the world around me. Just needed to get that out.
Thank you! You just change my life for ever!! I will always remember you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
You have changed my life, Stefan! thank you so much!
I can REALLY use those wristbands .. Every time you look Down at them you’re reminded to keep pushing
I gotta say it! I am a Dabbler!! And I don’t like it.. Makes me sick to think I don’t finish things. I hate it.. I will work so hard to never feel these emotions anymore! I will become a Master!! Thank you very much Stefan!! I really appreciate the energy and the time you put in in making your videos!
Mastery by Robert Greene is a great book too.
I’m a dabbler before so I definitely agree that one should just master one thing basing from the lessons I’ve learned. Great video btw, thanks!
Thanks Stefan, I really needed to hear this. I’m not a dabbler in that I don’t keep changing my project. But I have felt that I’ve been drifting lately and your video was a real inspiration to get me out of my funk. I need to remember that every day I get to choose to master my craft or to dabble with it. Thanks for all your videos, I really appreciate them!
Full dabbler here. I was asking myself why I always jump from one idea to another. I never really got anything done, because I used to jump the second the initial excitement went away. Thanks for clearing things up Stefan! I’m going to go back to the core and figure things out before I’ll abandon anything again.
I must admit that I am definitely a Dabbler. Very inspiring video, I had not thought of it like that before. I could definitely relate to many of your analogies. Thank you for this knowledge. I am currently working on myself, and eliminating those things that are not truly important in my life and focusing on those things that I have chosen to master.
I am the dabbler, but I am learning how to become a master instead of a dabbler
I have a master mentality, I am sticking to K Money Mastery before any other course. I must master it before I move on- and achieve my goals.
Wow so happy to have clicked that video!
after watching that video, I must say, although it’s hard for me to really admit this, when I look at my results I can definitely say that I was a dabbler, DAM, I am, but I must chance that, I guess I’ll have to find the way to do so, because I’ve learned that change has to take place outside as well as inside, so I have multiple beliefs and habits that’s just supports my self doubts and laziness, it’s sure won’t be easy to change them, but I have to make it fun and enjoy the journey otherwise what’s the point? I mean I want to be successful but as long as I won’t be aware of my obstacles and won’t know what to do about it, then I can lose my time.. for nothing, so as I’m writing this I get a bit overwhelmed with how much energy should be invested in this massive change, I can see how massive it is, I have to find the way to make it doable and pace myself, It was always hard for me to stay focused and motivated long run. little by little, I can see really why I have the results that I get. Hey thanks for the video I appreciate your work!!
powerful speech Stefan
I’ve been stuck in a loop. Writing down goals then pushing them to the next month, self-discipline is non existent. This video made me realize that I’ve been a dabbler but not anymore. Time to stick with it and finish what I start!
Greatness
I’m a master dabbler and this video talked right through me. Goddammit. I gotta be a master.
I get this, I really do and also you just reminded me of something important, that your friends can also distract you from your purpose, my example as an artist with one of my friend had once asked me don’t you have any unfinished paintings, and I answered no, she gave me a look of disbelief, but I enjoy finishing something I start and I have great satisfaction when I am finished, unfortunately I did let myself be persuaded to dabble in many things with her influence and have many unfinished works but I am going to finish every one now. Thanks so much.
Many young adults have sports heroes, rappers, actors but to me youre my hero and role model! Thank you su much! You described me perfectly in this and im going to change my habits for the better
Fucking Dabbler but soon a master
First step is awareness, next is committing to it!
Thank you for being here. You are awesome.
I’m currently a dabbler. This video really made something click within me. Thank you so much. I’ve watched several of your videos and they’re great. You come across as being very authentic!
Got 4 minutes in and i already recognise I’m a dabbler……Grrrr!!! In fact today is the scariest day of my 45 years. I have -£1.87 in my account and have nothing coming in. I have children to feed.
I have truly been a dabbler! Man I was brought to tears watching this video. Because I know I have the ability to be great but I get discourage so easily its ridiculous. But today I make a stand and commit to being committed NO MATTER WHAT1
Iam a dabbler and it’s a pain in the ass but I promise Ima going to change now Bro💯
I was a dabbler almost all the time I remember. And always ask myself disempowering questions about why I can’t finish nothing in my life. Even a small things and big stuff too. I was really can’t see this problem in me. And wonder every time – what’s wrong with me? It’s looks funny but sad too. Much later I start to understand that problem in my dabbler mindset. Thank you so much for this video and insights about changing my mindset!)
I’m definetly a dabbler. But I will put all my strenght to change that
I was I dabble before I wrote this comment. Now I will stick to my actual project (grow my YouTube channel) and I will become a master !
Stephen, your videos are amazing and it’s changed my mind set in so many ways. I’m currently starting an online business and I always come back to your videos for inspiration and motivation.
I have to mention that a percentage of Dabblers may have ADHD (if it has caused dis-order in their lives).
I was diagnosed last year and my life makes far more sense now. Medication has helped a lot but you need to find a balance that works for you. A little ADHD can be a good thing, I’ve come to learn.
I’m going to fight my brain and commit to my upcoming business. I fear I’ll lose my spark..but I’m going to try one last time to commit to this for good, maybe I’ll have a chance now that medication reduced some of symptoms. Wish me luck!
I used to be a dabler… But then I bought your K money mastery program and saw your video on the master Vs dabler. That was when I understood who I really was and who I wanted to be. Thank you Stephan! You changed my life!
I am a dabbler, I want to change and be a master. No more dabbling!!
I am currently a dabbler, subconsciously I have known this for awhile. Now watching this video you articulated what I have felt. I need to finish my bridge.
I’m a 100% dabbler. I need to change. My life is miserable because of this. Thank you for this video
Love this, thank you Stefan. You are so incredibly full of wisdom and passion.
Appreciate it Stephanie!
I am a dabbler and I promise, I will take charge of my life from now, and become a master at something.
i NEED HELP ON THIS ONE GUYS: I have many varied interests and I want to learn almost everything I come across. By nature I am very inquisitive and curious. But I am not able to figure out what is that one thing that can fire me lifelong. Sounds weird, but there’s so many things people are good at all their lives and they make successful careers out of it, but I cannot figure out what’s the ONE thing I want to be. I want to be many things, but sadly most of things do not pay well financially. Oh this is such gibberish I have typed.. i know no one would understand this dilemma. Anyhow, I’ve put it out there in the YouTube universe, hopefully some soul will answer it someday!
Most valuable channel on YouTube by far.
Definitely a dabbler. On a side note, thanks for not having a music background. It’s more impactful to just hear your voice and the silent pauses to take in it.
I am a dabbler but now not anymore . Thank u bruh
I am a dabbler, you are opening my eyes, & unfolding my made u walls. Thank you
Ive realised that im a dabbler, a constant repetitive dabbler 😫 i really want to be a master, but i need to find what to master in, i cant pick one thing 😟…
I have been both a dabbler and a master at different times. So say a way to be a Master always
I am a dabbler and have been stuck in it for years
I have been a dabbler, but have also achieved many goals, it’s crazy because the goals I have achieved have been some of the most impossible things when I first thought about them, however there are other goals I know I am supposed to achieve and have an extremely difficult time keeping at them, lose some weight, get in shape, I am a drummer and I want to keep developing that talent, I also need to start creating additional streams of income as I don’t want to depend on a job forever. I struggle with keeping up with so much, my family depends on me and I can’t keep going the same way. I need to do something to get us out of debt and job depending life style.
I am a dabbler and addicted to information. I start things up then after a while that newness wears away and I start up another thing . I now know you have to be a doer not a dabbler
This is so true…it hurts!
I am trying to change starting today I hope 🤞
i wish i would see it 3 years earlier back in 2017!
i wasted 3 years of my life doing chatting on messenger!
Stefan, you and Tatiana ALWAYS give us such value!!!!!! I will forever be grateful to you both!!!!!!
I believe I have watched this video more than 40 times. Anytime I feel bored and want to quit, I come back here to watch this video.. #masterpiece#
Thank you so much
BIGGEST NEGATIVE to being a dabbler is the more you don’t stick to your word and finish what you said, it’s only harming yourself because you actually lose the belief that you can get anything done. you start to lose trust in yourself. you don’t even trust your own word. bad place to end up.
