How do I make people care?
Big question ... But that is what I am pondering today. How do I make Canadians want to engage and include Indigenous people? And if they do engage or include, how do I make them want to do that in a more respectful way? Do I describe their business without us? Their community without us? Thoughts appreciated from the amazing marketing and sales peeps in this group. @Jerry Fletcher @Kevin Marius @Drew Brania @David Corsini @Crystal Wright

hmmmmmm. I'll give this some thought. It would help to know what's worked, is working, or hasn't worked.

I love this. I knew about the POD option, but I didn't have a recommendation of which one to use. Thank you. I'm going to use it with my other book on Amazon as well. I'll be looking them up on Sunday. Thank you so much.
Publishing with Amazon
I have helped about 200 authors get published and have 10 books that I have published. Early on I was frustrated with the idea that these so-called publishing resources would end up with $10 of the sale of a book while only giving me $1 when I was the one that put in all the work in writing the book. Fortunately, because I had spent 20 years in the printing/publishing industry, I created a simple process to flip the results so that I ended up with $10 and Amazon only gets $1 when selling my books. I found www.TheBookPatch.com early in 2001. I uploaded my .pdf version of the books. I posted my books on Amazon using the "Self Fulfillment" option. When someone buys my book, Amazon sends me a notice with the details of the purchase. I post the sale on thebookpatch.com with the address of the buyer and they print the book and ship it typically within a week. Then for a $20 book, I earn $10 while Amazon only receives $1. I don't have to keep a stock of my books and a major benefit is when I have speaking engagements, The Book Patches will print and send as many copies of my books to the location where I'll be speaking, making it so much easier to avoid having to transport the books myself.

Today was such an inspiring meeting. I've been thinking about Integrity, trust, and imposter syndrome. Why is it that we often get stalled in our own progress or feel like fakes. I pondered that our inability to trust ourselves with the commitments we make to ourselves promotes imposter syndrome–that space where you're always telling other people what to do when you haven't/aren't taking the advice you give to others. Just a thought.
