Sometimes I know we make internet business and information publishing more difficult than it really needs to be…perhaps part of this is the number of guru’s who tell us what we should be selling or developing as information product entrepreneurs.

In fact, a good portion of the Ultimate Information Entrepreneur’s Success System is about UN-Learning many of the bad habits we may have picked up in past instruction and re-learn the proper way to discover ideas, topics and products that are appealing to your customers and fascinating to you. 

I came across this posting earlier today "What Kind of Book Would You Write" where the writer asked kids in Grade’s 1-3 what their writing topic would be and without hesitation received some of the most intelligent and best responses I have heard. 

Guaranteed if I had asked a full room of adults this question — the room would be silent for the first 5-minutes, and after the book ideas started to flow, there would be patterns based NOT on imagination and love of the topic, but on what they THINK they should write about.

One child mentioned their favorite pass-time – skateboarding and justified it by saying he was really good at, had been doing it for a longtime and knew others would benefit from his knowledge…hmmmm…couldn’t we all learn from hearing how that idea came about.

Kids live in the moment, are incredibly passionate about what they do, know others within their interest area well and totally immerse themselves becoming experts in whatever they do…after all, if you want help with the latest feature on a video game or your computer, your child will know before you do.

So, collectively as information product publishers…let’s learn from these kids and become more in-touch with what we know, what we love and what we are good at when thinking up ideas for our own books and infoproducts.
