Hinweis der Redaktion
- Hi, I am Siang, and for this learnday event, I am presenting a topic titled “What is a slashie?”
- This is about a book I bought last year, and finally start reading at the beginning of June
- Cringeworthy and possibly inappropriate GIFs ahead
- Curious, bought it around the time where a couple of my friends were talking about this term Also there were multiple books published about this topic at the time
- ## What? If life is like an online role playing game, a slashie would be those characters specialized in multiple classes, eg. archer + mage, warrior + healer, etc. Starts with main class, then move on to develop skills in other classes over time People who are not satisfied with being good in just one profession Each slash means new skillset, persona Most of them - freelancers (according to the author) No, a slashie does not slash everything they see in life ## Who? Younger generation, or those who are adventurous - appreciate freedom To them stability and security is overrated, and they want a more exciting life ## Why? Development of Information Technology & Society - making new skill acquisition accessible (as well as discovery of new interests made easier) The ability to pick up skills quickly - mandatory for a lot of jobs these days Cost of living - driving force - motivation to the trend
- Rise of social networking - fast and easy way to connect and reach more people efficiently, find a niche market and service them Opportunities are not exclusive to cities Not confined to physical space, work can happen anywhere Bigger platform to present oneself to the world, to connect, hence: fan/follower economy: help with deliver tailored information tothose wanting them without suffering information overload Rise of sharing economy - uber, airbnb etc.
- About the person, about the skill as well as experience that may be interesting to some
- Be awesome in primary skill, focus and do not suddenly start building new skills before the current one is well developed Does not happen overnight, or in a snap
- Curiosity: discover new things Ambitious: want to see good in new found interests Self-disciplined: self control, freedom does not mean do whatever you want
- Author lists 5 things to do to start being an awesome slashie
- Define clear things to achieve in life, know what you want to do in life Try to get certified, gain experience, build portfolio, accumulate them over time (preferably in years) Try writing books, and communicate ideas with other people, train the ability to think critically, and write Thinking helps to find new way to define a problem, and come up with novel strategies Do personality tests, but do not believe blindly in them Soul-seeking does not always mean eating pizza all around the world
- In order to think critically, learn how to read effectively and efficiently Get information from diverse sources, helps to spark new ideas, and new solutions to problems Skill tree building - preferably dynamic, skills are acquired over time, and the tree grows over time too One way to get better: have better friends that push each other to improve over time Useful secondary skills for freelancers: human/resource management, client relationship management, financial, marketing
- Learn to say no in life (reject unrelated sidequests) Do not try to acquire multiple skills at the same time Discovery and exploration are great, but as much as possible focus on tasks to do (improve productivity) Reduce time spent on commuting
- Time management, self-discipline Be efficient & enable others to be efficient Love what one is working on - passion is the key to success & self improvement
- Keep challenging yourself, constantly push yourself out of your comfort zone Do not deny opportunities that might be unrelated to main skills - you can potentially be great naturally in the area unknowingly
- Authors lay 7 steps to become a slashie
- List down clear goals to achieve Which answers: What to achieve and how to develop and advance the branding What is the standard of having a brand in the direction defined in (1) Be expressive - communicate idea Be interactive - approach people Integrate - co-operate with other domain experts from various disciplines to help each other out
- Perform research to understand what others in the field are doing, read their work thoroughly, analyze and find your niche Propose original ideas - targeting marketing effort through social media to the right audience
- Know strength and weaknesses Present yourself professionally, keep portfolio design and service listing updated - suit purpose Get copy and profile professionally done if required Be knowledgeable, prepared in core strength, as well as other areas Work on financial and health security (as the authors are focussing on freelancing part) Psychology health - turn negative emotion as a motivation, strive to be the best
- Research on the successful figures in the field, know what makes them the best Do not try to duplicate their effort, even if you succeed in that, that implies you can be easily replaceable Do not stay out of touch
- 2 strategies: Find audience, communicate Learn how to approach target audience Make effort in maintaining relationships, be friendly and approachable Fully understand characteristics of users in all social media platforms, always stay updated about new platforms Be consistent and persistent in publishing new ideas, eventually quality content would get new followers
- Relatively more fixed plan to be carried out in 5-7 years with clear goals, follow through - requires strong will power Plan has to be realistic Do thorough research before setting the plan - helps to reduce anxiety in longer term
- Easy to validate and gauge progress
- Still long road ahead to be one myself, but will attempt to answer from what I read from the book, if I can recall them
