It's almost as if we have two lobes in our brain. There's the consumer and investor mode, and we're doing better and better at that lobe. But at the producer and seller mode, we have to work harder and harder.

One follows from the other.
I remember someone once saying, "Pete, you know you really should take voice lessons."

If you focus on one of your gifts, that one gift will be the catalyst to open up opportunities for the other gift.
