Be yourself. Be honest. Do your best. Take care of your family. Treat people with respect. Be a good citizen. Follow your dreams.

NOTE TO READERS

This publication contains the opinions and ideas of its author. It is intended to provide helpful and informative material on the subjects addressed. The strategies outlined in this book may not be suitable for every individual, and are not guaranteed or warranted to produce any particular results.

This book is sold with the understanding that neither the author nor the publisher is engaged in rendering legal, financial, accounting, or other professional advice or services. The reader should consult a competent professional before adopting any of the suggestions in this book or drawing inferences from it.

No warranty is made with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the information or referenced contained herein, and both the authors and the publisher specifically disclaim any responsibility for any liability, loss or risk, personal or otherwise, which is incurred as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the use and application of any of the contents of this book.

This book builds three central arguments:

Your life story, your knowledge, and your messagewhat you know from experience and want to share with the worldhave greater importance and market value than you probably ever dreamed.

You are here to make a difference in this world, and the best way to do that is to use your knowledge and experience (on any topic, in any industry) to help others succeed.

You can get paid for sharing advice and how-to information that helps others succeed, and in the process you can build a very lucrative business and a profoundly meaningful life.

If any of this sounds unbelievableespecially the part about your getting paid for sharing what might essentially be your message to the worldthen it is simmanply because you have been unaware of a fairly unknown and previously secretive industry that exists all around uswhat I call the expert industry.

The expert industry is a caring community of people who share their advice and knowledge with the world and get paid for it. These are the people you see on television and online sharing advice on how to improve your life or grow your business. They are ordinary people who have packaged their successes, research, or life story into advice for others and thus have become experts on a given topic, whether it is how to be a better parent, start a business, succeed at work, live with more passion, or any other topic. They are servants of wisdom, and they inspire all of us with what they know.

These experts, again, are just average people who have synthesized their life experience and have created products and programs for sale to the public. They have articles, blogs, books, audio programs, DVD home-study courses, podcasts, videos, and more, all of which are extremely easy and cheap to create thanks to the Internet. In many cases, they have become well known or famous simply for sharing their advice and how-to content. And they have made millions of dollars doing it. In effect, they have monetized their message, and they get paid more than you could ever fathom. They are millionaire messengers, the entrepreneurial experts of the Information Age.
