The Complete Technologist

You know that being a Complete Technologist is more than being a Geek. Hey, don't get me wrong, you need to master your technology just to get into the game. All I'm saying is the technologist with the most money and the most rewarding life is the one who goes beyond technological mastery, developing his other assets to compete and excel over the course of a long, rewarding career. You already know this if you've been in technology for awhile.

This book gives you three career and life accelerating tools to make you the Complete Technologist:

• Process Factory
• Skill Transfer Process
• Scan and Exploit

Process Factory

This is a process for making other processes. For instance, you can make your own process for quick database construction. Or a process to sell your skills. This is how I invented the Universal Troubleshooting Process. Armed with such processes, you'll run circles around your coworkers and be known as the authority.

Skill Transfer Process

This is how you outpace the pack, no matter how fast the pack is moving. It's a process to use skills, observed in co-workers, rivals, or just people you meet or see, to massively grow your own skillset.

Besides being able to import your co-worker's specific skill into your skill toolbox, you can also use the transferred skill for a completely different goal. For instance, you can observe a street artist quickly painting and selling paintings, and apply his skills to double the speed of your technical documentation writing (this is an actual true example). Or you can make yourself more likeable or more persuasive or more of a leader by using the skill transfer process to import the leadership skills of your user group's president.

This book teaches you two skill transfer processes: One for continuous improvement of all your skills, and one to quickly target a specific area of your performance. The former keeps you amassing skills over an entire career, while the latter gives you the quickness to grab opportunities as they arise. The former is endurance, the latter is sprint.

Scan and Exploit

You've always known that processes yield the best productivity, but sometimes you don't have that luxury. Sometimes you must attack tasks in real time, under pressure, with a deadline. Scan and Exploit is the way you do it. When the going gets tough, you'll be the tough guy everyone follows.

The Life of the Complete Technologist

Here are a few of the things you can do with these three tools:

• Become the technologist in demand: More and more, employers seek technologists with business and interpersonal skills. Be that technologist. Thrive while others are laid off or replaced with cheap overseas labor.
• Become the alpha Geek: Maybe you don't want to jump through all those suit hoops -- you just want to code. That's still possible, even in the global economy -- if you're good enough. Use these three tools to gain the overwhelming technical superiority to compete on technical merit alone.
• Get better jobs: Getting a better job is primarily a task of portraying yourself in the best possible light. That's a skill few technologists have. Use skill transfer methods to acquire that skill, and when you're in the interview, use Scan and Exploit to deal with the inevitable realtime difficulties.
• Kick unemployment in the teeth: The same skills for getting a better job are what you use to get that first job after a layoff.
• Enjoy your hobbies: Use the tools in this book to improve your photography, target shooting, rocketry, woodworking, bicycle riding, or almost anything else you like to do.
• Improve your home life: You know family relationships and responsibilities are challenging, with astounding rewards if done right. Use Scan and Exploit to feel your way through new situations, the Process Factory to make those new discoveries reproducible, and the skill transfer process to emulate anything you see that looks promising.

What People Are Saying

• "The Key to Everday Excellence is a wonderful addition to my library...I am always looking for ways to improve human performance or short-cut my way to Personal Freedom and Success"
• "I gotta' tell ya', this is one great book. I read about half of it as soon as I opened it -- I couldn't put it down. I know it's a novel but there is a lot of realism there. Scan and Exploit -- I'm doing that every day since I read the book. This book should get an award!"
• "Enjoying the book. I'm up to about Chapter 25."
• "I just started to read your book last night and so far its great!"
• " Excellent Book!!!!
  I love the story format, so far away from reading other self help textbooks. I devoured it while I was vacationing at the cottage. Even though I was in vacation mode it did get the mental juices flowing! I will have to read it again soon to see what I missed as my mind drifted toward the dock occasionally. Keep up the good work!"

Here's your boost your technology, career and life for just ten bucks and a few evenings of reading. Do it!
