Knowledge For Sale - By Sean Michael Paquet

So a fellow writer asked me this question “Why are you giving away all of your knowledge and experience for free? You could make a course and sell it.” 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Let me regale you with my opinion on people who sell knowledge and experience. I feel that ones knowledge and experience are priceless. Therefore I don’t subscribe to buying “Get Rich on Kindle by following My Nine Step Program.” Schemes. I feel that it’s the wrong way to go. I prefer to put my knowledge and experience out there where everyone can benefit from it. I learn about writing and the business behind it everyday. I have a lot of knowledge and experience already when it comes to writing, marketing and promotion. I look at knowledge as more of a free exchange. I give you my knowledge and experience. In return I learn from you also. In my opinion the knowledge and experience I gain daily from readers and other writers far outweighs the amount of money I could make by putting together a program that is usually comprised of 75% common sense and 25% practical application. If people wanna know how to do something in this business just ask. If I don’t know, then chances are I know someone who does. Bottom line...save your money. Most of the get rich quick programs are bullshit anyways.

The Balance - By Sean Michael Paquet

Hello everyone. One of my fellow writers asked me today why I always say "Blessed be the Balance." That is a very difficult question to answer so perhaps an excerpt from my new Work In Progress titled "The Jarl's Shadow" will lend some insight into part of what the Balance is all about. “What you have done is nothing to be proud of.” Amra’s eyes opened wide with shock and incomprehension. “Master Shivnr, I did everything you said to do. Everything you taught me! It was so easy.” At this, Shivnr slapped his hand upon the table causing the playing pieces on the board to jump. Amra jumped as well. Shivnr never displayed emotion. Often he was so cold that Amra wondered if he was even human. “There is nothing easy about what you did! You snuffed out two lives! It is nothing to take pride in!” For the first time in as long as she could remember, Amra felt tears welling up in her eyes. What had she done wrong? “If you wish to be proud of something, be proud of the skil...

Pay Attention To Your Product - By Sean Michael Paquet

Hello everyone. A weird thing happened today. Another author by the name of Jennifer Shepard told me she loved my book and that she had bought it just today on Amazon in E-Book format. I was of course elated because I thought my E-book was finally available for purchase. So what did I do? I contacted BookLocker (my publisher). They informed me that my book was not yet available in E-book format. So I of course asked Ms. Shepard if she could provide me the link she used to pur chase the E-book or at least the transaction of purchase receipt. No answer. Nothing. Bottom line folks. I check on my book several times a day on Amazon because like you I am waiting for the E-book to become available. That means I know whats going on with my product. Same as when I found out that  californiabooks.com  was trying to sell my books at a higher price than advertised on Amazon. I also contacted them, and told them to knock it off. The paperback is $20.99 new + shipping and handling. Period. ...

What is Your Value - by Sean Michael Paquet

What makes you Valuable?   OK, this post will be a little more about the self than it does about business, but the concepts still apply.  What makes you valuable? What do you value about yourself? What do other people that know you appreciate about you? Value. We can go on and on about friendship, love, partnership, and other similar concepts, but at the end of the day, it all boils down to value. What is your value to yourself, to other people, to the community? We all want to feel valuable. We want to know that we matter. Not just to ourselves, but also that our presence is valued. We want to know that somehow we contribute to the communal consciousness. What makes you valuable are your strengths. Those qualities about you that make you stand out from the slowly moving herd of humanity around you. Your strengths are what make you unique. That is your value. Firstly, YOU must see YOU as valuable to YOURSELF. This requires a great deal of self-reflection. You have to take a ha...
