Stop people who wish to make you feel inferior




The reason why someone should make you feel inferior always exists. The roots could be deep in his personality, in his character, or in competition.

If a woman wants to steal your man, she will gossip about you. "She is ugly, stupid, poor, promiscuous."

If someone wants to steal your job, he will try to make you humiliated. "He is lazy, unable to do this job, and his skills are zero."


If someone denies your talent, he will say that you need help from an expert or minorize your values. Also, the person will ask for money to develop your talent. 


Success is not for weak people. As Dostojevski said: "Don't stand to hit every dog in your path with a rock ." No, you have no time for this. 

Envy and jealousy will make your opponent weak. He will slow down his progress, while you will go faster. 

Success is focused on progress. We are going toward the future, not toward the past. Don't look back, you are not going that way. If I would think about all the mean people in my past, I would never sleep well. These stones someone throws at you are just alerts, on how to pick up your company. With whom you are hanging out?

A real friend will never try to make you inferior. He can criticize you and your work but in a professional way. He will not try to take advantage of your weakness or failures to earn money for you. He will not try to make you less worthy and treat you like an immature kid.

Unfortunately, working with amateurs is the most expensive work you will ever have. They interfere with emotions in their judgment, they are sharing lectures instead of useful tips and you are wasting your time with them.

Thanks to people who read me and comment on my posts. I am glad to see you after such so long time.

Should we respond to negative reviews?

Recently I had a discussion in my social media about negative ratings. There was a situation in Goodreads, where I got two negative reviews on my two books. The point was in the way how the ratings were set up. First rating for my book "Body in the waves" was placed under 5-star review from another reviewer. While the reviewer praising my book, the troll came under to say "This is really bad book." Second rating was described as " Poor author needs writing lessons." Both reviews broke standards of reviewing, because there is no visible evidence that book was downloaded in Kindle unlimited or purchased. It was a clear troll act from a new page, without a profile photo and with a nickname. I reported this to Goodreads and they responded me they are processing this. Meanwhile, I heard from other authors that Goodreads failed to do anything about trolling.  In these terms, Goodreads should delete such profiles and forbid the access because of breaking rules. T...

Why the refund is damaging indie authors?

I understand someone can be disappointed with a book. It is like I was disapointed with my trousers online and returned it. What makes a difference, my trousers were 40 euros. The book was 2.49 cents. This makes return funny, because what can you do with this money? Some readers don't understand story behind the refund. The author will get minus royalties. - 0.13 c in my Kindle report, that will vanish when someone else buy the book. The situation happens. Someone accidentaly clicked and bought a book. A random customer wants a refund. Maybe it was not a random move. Maybe the customer clicked, bought and did not like the book. When you don't like the book choose another options, instead of damaging authors. Write a negative review. Write negative one star rating. Don't purchase another books from this author. Or, maybe to reconsider and read it, again? If you write negative reviews or rate it with 1 or 2 stars, you are making a favor to authors. You are moving algorithms i...

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...
