You may not believe it, but you already have a pot-of-gold within your reach right at the present - sitting, waiting to be turned into products you can sell online.



Packing your knowledge, experiences and stories into digital Ebooks, booklets or even your own course or workshop, you have the foundation for a very beneficial small venture.

What have you done or experienced in your life that has demanded you study, research, explore or learn by working through it?

What changes have you gone through that have made you stronger?

What challenges have you faced that have taught you what only someone who has been through your experience would know?

At first, illustration may not come flooding into your head, but think a little longer and you should be able to come up with dozens.

SOME BRAIN TRIGGERS

Lets go back in time, at least for a lot of of us to the time you came out of school and began your work life. What did you study? What challenges did you have? Do you remember taking personality tests, working with counselors to help you find your aptitude? How about researching different kinds of careers to find a match? How simple was that experience?

In my case, I had completely expected to work through a law degree after University and become a lawyer. I recall working with our career counselors - even in high school, that had some truly neat methods of discovering strengths.

Next, I remember having a very challenging time trying to understand, first-hand, what it meant to work as a lawyer - to even meet and talk with other lawyers in the field.

What could I learn from this?

Moving from school to the workforce is an important time in a woman or man's life. Everybody wants you to succeed, many people want to help - but there are frustratingly few resources to help.

Could you package some research on personality and aptitude testing with a range of first-hand profiles about many ordinary careers? You could solicit a few pages from several career choices to give an "insider's" approach to particular fields of work.

How about other experiences you went through:

- Wedding advice including who to marry, advice on relationships leading up to marriage, how to organize your wedding, handling budget and family issues with weddings, etc...

- raising children, you can't tell me you didn't learn a great deal for those of you who have raised children

- Changing careers or advancing in your career. It seems we all go through many life lessons as we work through career development. If you had to look back, what advice could you provide that would really help if you had it all to do again?

- How about Fitness. Were you able to try and find methods of stress relief, ways to reduce pain or suffering from illness, methods of losing weight or increasing overall fitness? You may think this field is highly competitive, and it is, but there is always room for added tips and strategies based on real experience

- Travel, do you have some hints or tips on traveling?

There are dozens upon dozens of examples where you can take life experiences, research or knowledge you already have to launch your own information product publishing business.

You may begin slowly with a report, 40-page Ebook, blog, newsletter, or you may jump right into seminars, workshops, and a manuscript for a published book.

However you choose to start, you will find that you can build your knowledge into a hot business with some determination, persistence and an action-oriented approach.
