This
is the second article in a series of seven written by Gary A Scott. He
is an amazing entreapenur that has taught Mark and others how to live
their dreams and make money.

The secret is to have fun with your work. Is your occupation fun? Here is a secret.

It should be. Self publishing skills make life more enjoyable and
lucrative as well. That’s because you become the client hiring
yourself. The client who can publish information about anything you
choose.

This is the second of seven secrets (the first is to use the multiple
effect) that I learned about a system for integrating work, wealth,
fun, fulfillment and service all into one satisfying lump. These
secrets have generated regular six figure income and some years seven.

The secret is “turn your passion into profit”! Sad but true, most of us make money for the sake of making money. Many
spend their lives working, just to have a few precious hours having
fun.

A vital fact I have learned in my self publishing business about making
and keeping wealth is that those who were richest absolutely loved what
they were doing! Money is of secondary importance to their effort. And
as things are, not chasing money means they actually ended up making
more money!

My wife, Merri, and I have gained all the physical possessions we desired.
We have had all the cars, including sports cars, two Mercedes, a BMW,
Bentley and Rolls Royce, more houses than we could use, (two tropical
beachfront homes and a cabin in the mountains overlooking a roaring
creek).

More importantly, we have fun every day! We
are doing what we love. We have learned that through publishing we can
accomplish far more important goals, gaining self fulfillment and be of
service to our community.

We even have a foundation (Land of the Sun Foundation) to help the
indigenous learn how to get work. www.landofthesun.org In short we are
really satisfied as we enjoy working at making the world a better place.

What do you love? Rare cars? You can make a fortune publishing information
on them. Do you prefer fine art? Or do you love beautiful jewelry,
coins, gems, real estate, furs, model railways, dolls, scientific
equipment, war memorabilia, old and rare books, or whatever? Do you
prefer social subjects rather than objects? Are you concerned with the
environment problems, with crimes, war, poverty? Would you like to help
wipe them out? Each of these offers opportunity in publishing. Are you
a golfer? Do you love to travel? Why not make the kinds of money I’ve
just mentioned publishing reports about golf courses all over the
world? Would you like to help the world be a more spiritual place, help
people get along better together? You can do something good for the
world, increase your income in the process and live wherever you please!

Whatever
your passion, you can learn how to make a fortune by self publishing
information whether in the form of books, tapes or through the Internet. Your own self publishing business will have an extra advantage. You
already have copywriting skills. This allows you to create publications
that follow your dreams and sell them as well. This is the secret of
success…to be able to create….to be able to sell and to be able to
follow your dreams.

You do not have to create your publications if you choose. I do, but I know
many copywriters who publish other people’s publications and books.

The process of publishing other’s work is very satisfying if you are
pursuing your passion. You’ll likely to get to know experts that you
admire and surround yourself with fascinating people. For example I
have always been fascinated by the struggle between the Soviet Union
and the USA . My self publishing business allowed me to involve myself
in this knowledge in ways I could never have imagined. Here, as part of
our research, are Merri me and our daughter, Francesca, with four
musicians from the Ukraine who visited with us. They were all a part of
the Kiev Symphony.

Later, my research led me to meet Andrei Kozyrev, the foreign minister of the
Russian Federation for Boris Yeltsin from 1990 to 1996. After the
failed Soviet coup attempt of 1991, he found himself in Yeltsin’s team
of young reformers, which included Yegor Gaidar and Anatoly Chubais,
and shared their Western liberal-democratic ideals. This was one of the
men who helped dismantle the Soviet Union . Merri and I enjoyed meeting
him and having dinner with Kozyrev.

This
was an incredible treat in itself…worth the entire trip….to have
several hours with this man who represents so much living history. At dinner we shared with Kozyrev one of the most memorable moments that our writing and self publishing has created.

Yet think about the money side as well. If you self publish, as I do, you
get 100%…a percentage that’s hard to beat at the bank…but even more
powerful than the cash is the fact that you also have 100% of you in
the publication. When you are creating a publication you love, why not?
Work like this is fun!

For example, Merri and I love the history of Baron Von Humbolt…the world’s
first environmentalist. We went on a research trail. Here we are at
Hacienda La Cienega, where we were allowed to stay in the room where
Humbolt had lived while he was discovering Ecuador , the Galapagos and
the Humboldt Current.

There is one more important point about doing what you love. Your passion
leads to profits and helps you focus your publication as well. Learn
why when we reveal the third secret, which is to have a tight focus,
next in this series.

When you pursue what you enjoy, you do it better with less stress, fatigue
and risk. This is why I am most excited about sharing these seven
secrets. Your passion and self publishing…magic, wealth, happiness.
Until the next secret in this series, may all your business and copy
multiply!
