How to find right business connections?



When you walk on the hard path of betrayal and disloyalty, it will frustrate you. Everyone will be the same for you, the face you can't trust. Someone who will screw you. Another one who will use you and take advantage. 
This is not the right way if you want success. 

The first step to recover from traitors is to forget the past.

Don't look back, you are not going that way. It means:

If someone rejected you in the past, let him stay there. Don't beg for a return and don't accept if he changes his mind. 

If someone called you after the century passed, don't accept this call. Ignore and go forward.


The second step is to stop comparing people. We are different, and if someone reminds you of the bad person in the past, this is not a pattern. It might look like this, but you will not repeat the same mistake twice, or you will fix it faster than before.

The third step is to accept changes. Don't afraid of changes, even it looks worse than your previous condition. Fear means that you are in a good way. 

The fourth step is to recognize real from fake opportunities. A mixture of illusion and hope is a dangerous thing and beware of people who are promising too much.


How to recognize fake people on your way?

They hesitate.

They delay their decisions.

They make excuses for why they did not do what they promised.

Their promises are big, like "the world will hear about you".

They use too many sweet words.


What makes a difference from amateur toward professionals?

Professional people use short and effective sentences.

They act on time and offer concrete things.

They say to you in forward what you can expect in some projects.

They don't involve themselves emotionally. They don't call you darling and sweetie.

They have examples and names behind them, which is proof of how their strategies work.

If you can look at someone's profile on social networks, it will tell you more than you thought. You want a  review for your book? Someone promised you to publish and edit your books for small money or free?
Just look. If you see a blank site or site slammed with tags and many avatars without links and a real photo, this is the impostor. Also, they ask for donations for their funds, and your vision is not interesting to them. They use me, not WE in conversation. 

Everyone wishes for success nowadays, and it makes spaces for frauds and manipulations easier. You can spend money in vain, or lost time for something that will not work out. Someone can offer you money if you invest money and then you will go through a complicated process to return your money back or you will get robbed online.

The business world is cruel, but the point is to find real connections and eliminate fakes. Time will show you the way, and intuition will show you where is the illusion and where is the reality.

The book based on true events

  A paperback version is on Amazon.  Genre: Contemporary romance, young adult short novel Place of action: Croatia Alert : based on true story The blurb:   Valentina lives in a small town. The priorities for women are to get marry in twenties.  Fighting with prejudices, Valentina has an open relationship with a local hooligan. The love story will develop in a wrong direction. Valentina will learn important life lessons. The review: Clear, sharp, legible, written in Kristina's recognizable style. An interesting, powerful, instructive story - when an intelligent woman falls in love with a bad man. This is a real-life story that happens to many women. The story shows that intelligent women and common sense are not immune to falling in love with bad men and the thought that they can change them. A love story that is not really a romantic story. Love is one-sided. Love is stronger than reason, but until a moment when everything has changed. Purchase link:  Seduced by...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...

Five myths about promo sites

Recently I asked for a featured Bookbub deal for one of my books. I got response that my book should be free priced and my expense would be 230 dollars. This is really funny, because I could expect people grab my book for free and give me one star (as it happens when books are available for everyone). To pay such amount of money would be waste and without a purpose. I am mix of traditional and indie author. Having a publisher, but not bestseller books, I am looking for ways to increase my book sales. Promo sites like Bookbub are very expensive and they offer their deals for 25% books from authors who applied for this. I had an insight to author's books who grabbed Bookbub deals. It works will authors who are already selling a good amount of their books. In general, promo sites are not working for favor of indie authors. These are five myths about promo sites: Promo sites give many readers. It is not true, because you will get visibility and many trolls, but not readers. Promo sites...
