And show you how I overcame that by building a six-figure passive income business and become a self-made millionaire at age 26.

Hello, just give me a heart
I run a very successful writer development group in CLE, not braggin' or sellin'. I see both 'fear of failure' as well as 'fear of success' all the time. What Sean says here is 100% true. Lastly, is the fear of having your idea stolen. Don't be afraid of that. It takes too much effort and cost on the part of some one else to take your idea as an unknown and make millions from it. More likely is your 'content' will get ripped off, 'iterated' etc., once your content is making money.... get a business card that says your name, with the title 'Author' and put it everywhere. You have to 'own' this. If you want to be a Pro Golfer, you gotta show up and do the work, and invest in your skills. Listen to Sean.
You’re right. I have stalled by watching videos non stop. I’ve just been sitting here toiling away and accomplishing nothing. I AM terrified of failing because I just can’t take failing any more. I’ve never succeeded at anything in my life and I’m just so tired of failing. It’s gotten to where I believe success is something that only happens for other people and will never happen for me. I think your video has helped me realize how paralyzed I am by fear and that I’ve lost hope. I think my biggest fear is starting to get some momentum and then having my store shut down like so many others have and then I will literally have no options left to make money from an at home business.
You got this, I was the same before.
this is so me rn
same is happening to me
You're better off doing your own advertising on transit systems. tarins, buses, bus shelters, etc. Its better than wasting your money placing your books on a ad budget with amazon. As I explained above, its nothing more than a scam unless you're Stephen King or martin Scorsese. And I'm not the only one who found this out. I read tons of other similar comments from other writers the same night I suspended my ad account with amazon. Instead of wasting 1 to 3,000 on amazon you could get 30 days of ad space for 2,500 or 3,000 and have millions of people see your material. And remember, people do not read much anymore today like they used to.
@benicio1967 ...... I wud suggest you to plz read the book "The power of subconscious mind" by Joseph Murphy..... And see the change in you...... Your fear will turn into brave and success. You need to practice training your subconscious mind with positive affirmations everyday. Hope this helps🙏
I'm so happy that I came across your video. I've been skiing just that, consuming and not being intentional. Thanks for the boost.
Gracias Sean, Jamaican boy in Spain saying BRAVO! Great videos. Keep helping others with your skills and knowledge! God bless. Thanks for the update!
This video was really helpful to remind me to just focus on making my books instead of switching to a new project after every book I finish
Thank you for this awesome piece Sean, planned taking that bold step into Amazon KDP and am so glad I found your page. Thank you for the inspiration.
I apprieciate you. You've opened my mind and set my sights on the right path to go .
Sean you're the best and I hope to be as successful as you. You really inspire me to keep on going ✨️
When I am watching your video, I aiways think you are very honest and sincere.Thank you for your information!I learn a lot from you!
I can honestly say that this is the best video that I've seen in a long time. And you don't even advertise it as motivational, but that's what you're doing. Thank you and I will move my b**t asap from being a consumer to being a producer. I'm definitely subscribing to your Channel.
You’re so right! I have been a consumer for years, but now I’m taking action!
Thanks for the encouragement. You are right we want instant results and instant gratification...kudos to you. I will start mine now. It takes me forever ... i just keep on watching UA-cam doing nothing.
This is tremendously helpful and insightful. Thanks so much, Sean.
Appreciate your presentation. You get right to the important points and tell it like it is. Sincere, practical and professional approach.
Thank you so much for this information. Thanks for being my guru in publishing books. Thanks! 🙏
I will say this my brother! You are definitely different in a good way all of us special minds think alike. You hit it dead on the nail I think and talk about it all the time ,To my family and friends’ the transition from studying and learning to action! . We all have to make that decision at some point and some do and most don’t” And I’m still practicing that transition. Thanks the video
Just letting you know that you have now gained a HUGE fan from Staffordshire UK, what an excellent video, lot's of passion and boy has it got me wanting to get off my backside and do something, 10/10, thanks and really appreciated :) Best wishes David

I love KDP. This video was very helpful. Thank you.
thanks! this lesson was amazing! thanks for helping me understand what to do to sell more books!
You really spoke Sense to my ear
God bless you
Great and insightful input. Thank you from Germany 🇩🇪
Love this content! Thanks so much.
Excellent!!!
Probably THE MOST IMPORTANT video online right now that gets down to the nitty gritty of what it takes to be successful.
I’ve been stuck in a very comfortable, even cozy, no risk, “research zone” for about 30 days now. I’ve been aware of my procrastination to jump in the big pond, and hire my GW. I’ve even rewritten some KDP course outlines by hand, putting them in 3 ring binders to make them easier for me to follow 😝. And then there’s my addiction to office supplies to help me stay organized better ☺️.
But enough of that, it’s time to take the leap of faith.
I’m researched up
I’m organized
I know what my next step should be
And anything I don’t know yet, I’ll learn it on the way! 😉
Thanks Sean, for helping me redirect my focus back on the forest. 🌳🌲 🌳🌲🌳❤️
KDP is actually good business model as long as you are in amazon good side, but once you make even a small simple mistake your account can be suspended one sided in an instant, thus there will always be a weary feeling dealing with this kind of business. just a heads up before all of you try this business.
Just want to say Thank you thank you so much for making this video and spitting facts. I don't no what i m going to do in life because i hv alredy failed miserably you are doing so much great work just by saying only true things. Thank you and may god bless you.
Thank you sir, your videos inspired me a lot.
Superb video, Sean. ❤
Like the pace & content
Loved the ending ❤
Thank you for your valuable content. It's great😄
This has to be the best video I’ve watched this year
Thanks for all these honest information
I love you bro, more grace❤
Great teaching Sean, thank you for sharing. I'm a newbie just learning with low content book right now. I am one of your followers. Thank you for the training.
Thank you Larry
New subscriber here.. Thank you for this Sean.. I'm about to publish my first KDP
Thank you for this, it really found me at the right time! I do what you said about getting stuck in the consuming phase, I think for me it's the fear of wasting my time. I find time very valuable, more so than money and I hate the thought of wasting it. I've also done some projects that I worked hard on but never made me a dime, which in turn made me feel like I wasted all that hard work and effort. In reality, I probably gave up too soon to actually see the results that could have been. I'm learning to be more patient and still continue working even if there's never any rewards because I feel like sometimes the accomplishment is your reward. If you put a good product out there, it's not always about money. If you can help even one person improve their life, it's worth it. Great video and very inspiring!
I’ll soon have enough saved to join your program. I’m so excited
Thank you so much for reminding me
That was the kick in the pants that I needed. You are a sensei Sean and I thank you.
You're killing it in KDP bro!! 💪I'm getting started with medium content books.
How is it going?
@@_herzensoase 4 books out. Now at the stage of running Amazon ads!
What you said is exactly what I've been doing. I'm good at planning, from Plan A to Z (in case the first plans won't work), but I was never good at executing. Because I never really executed them at all. 😅 I already realized everything that you said a long time ago, but somehow, I still didn't make a move. And watching your video, I thought, "It's really different when someone says it to your face than just talking them all to yourself." Thanks, man 😊😊
Out of all of the videos ive watched. I feel like you are a tually quite genuine in your message
Excellent advice Sean. Many thanks. Libby
thanks Libby
Sean, you are so right. I've been researching opportunities online for months. I decided on KDP and have been watching more videos for months. I watched this video and I stopped. Instead, I uploaded my first book today! Thanks for the advice. You're right on target. Now I want to see your videos on selling your books!
I love it, great job taking action!
how is it going so far?
How’s it going bro
Did you get any sales
@@SeanDollwet Hello, I am a 15 year old author of Fantasy Novels on KDP. I have published one, and am about to publish book two. Do you have any tips?
thank you Sean!
Thanks! I might get into it.
Great stuff, thank you.
Thanks very informative Great content 👍
Sean I like your videos , very informative
Great ideas
Thank you 😊
Dynamite! You are right on target Sean. It's a life choice.
Excellent video!! No doubt, this is the best video I have seen! I love your straightforward approach and your clear and calm demeanor. The information was so much easier to digest compared to the highly caffeinated videos I've watched! Thank you! Your systematic approach, as you take us from a to b, c to d, and so on, is very much appreciated especially by those from the "baby boomer" era!
Great info. I have a few contents in KDP. Bunmi Ajagunna. Will love to see it grow as I have not had much luck with them. new sub!
Thank you so much for your good advise
Thanks a lot; that was very helpful.
I needed this.
Thanks, Sean! Please would you consider doing a vid on how to effectively market a new book, and re-market a dead book in 2024? Thanks so much
great video! remove fear and execute
Very nice idea!
It always seems the most challenging step in all of this is starting...ive watched so many different videos from sooooooo many different individuals with completely different results and yours seems to be thr most honest.
During these times of uncertainty, it tough enough trying to decide between feeding your family and paying a bill. Nevertheless, I'm happy I came across your video as well and looking forward to finally taking the first step towards financial freedom and security in 2024. All the best to you and yours...😊
I appreciate your knowledge and you sharing your experiences. Thank you.
I appreciate that
@SeanDollwet no doubt. We all had to start from somewhere. What I appreciate about your channel is that you take the time out of your day and give us constructive advice on how to build a following, better book covers, and get reviews with links to actual websites. In my opinion your are one of the realest people on UA-cam and are a model figure for those of us who want to give up because we're not seeing immediate results but continue to grind on then we say to ourselves, " If Sean can do it, so can I." So again thank you for the content and your powerful messages to us.
When you talked about the distractions I felt like you were talking to me! The hours I’ve wasted on SM and then kick myself afterwards! Thanks for the push!
This is great. Setting my goal to start doing my research. Will post later with updates.
Curious too? I'm curious how much it costs to publish a physical/digital book?
I have actually created my first online book today and Its under review. Thank you for your honesty.
Congratulations!
You are AWESOME! I'm so glad I stumbled onto your UA-cam page, Sean!!
I just published my first novel on Amazon and this video was VERY inspiring and practical.
Of course I subscribed, and I can't wait to see more of your content!!
Hey Harvey, how much does it cost to publish a novel on AMAZON & do you have to publish large quanity of books at once,GOOD LUCK , HONESTLY
I'm just a writer. If you search that on UA-cam or GPT or Google, you'll get an all-points answer. For me it was cheap.@@horror_punk_gamer9932
Sean you're my biggest productivity problem. Your videos are so great, your knowledge so impressive that I can't stop watching your content! However I find you to be an excellent problem to have! 🤔
Great video
It’s like you are speaking right to me. Thanks.
Very frankly explained 🎉
All Great. I am looking at this for 2024 Expansion, All in at your advice. Couple of Caveat Questions. 1. Whats more profitable? Making/Selling the books, or Building a publishing CO like you did with Exit plan OR Selling the system via courses, how much do you make? 2. Is the KDPSpy you showed in the video the best Spy Tool? Thanks man, Subbed !
my cookbook will take forever to finish but at least i'm sure it will be a good product even if it doesn't sell
It must sell
I wanna read your cook book 😊😊
Show me your cookbook
Let us know when it’s done, I’ll buy it 👍
@@carolinesoar5431 oh thank you very much for the kindness!! i surely will :D
I trust you. I am persistent. I have just started it.
Thanks Sean for the video, so true about content consumption. It doesn't make money for me. Need to stop and take ACTION!!!
You are so right brother I want to be your student 😊
Finally, an honest business presentation on self-publishing with KDP. I am sold!!
Speak to me directly…”I’m the one you are talking to, I’ve paid for courses and haven’t finished them. Consumed lots of UA-cam how to videos and never started or didn’t last long enough” I need to take action.
This was helpful.
Thank you so much Sean for this helpful info! I think I am going to give this a consistent fair go!;) it sounds like I will enjoy it! New sub! Thanks!
Thank you for the video. May the UA-cam algorithm gods smile on your channel.
I like your business frame of mind! The ABC principle: Apply Butt to Chair...and doing the work. You certainly deserve your great income!
I have seen other versions of this online, where it is not how good you write, but how good you sell. The persons who promote this type of thing will go so far as to tell you 'it is not selling', but that's what it is. Being self sufficient and making money online is commendable to those who 'supposedly' are doing it, and almost anyone would love to achieve the figures Sean professes to be making, but he does not do it by being an excellent writer of best selling books. To make a living from writing is what we as writers wish to achieve and if you have done so then congratulations to you and your determination, because I believe that is what it takes. Sean is promoting sales, but not by anything he has written, because he is a salesman. Good luck.
You are awesome 😊❤
Good stuff man !! Basically, get off my butt and write the book ~
Sean, I appreciate all your videos and truly think they help a lot of us. Thank you for that.
I started my publishing journey 11/23 and work on it everyday. I have a total of 25 books published. I haven't made a lot of money at this point but I do believe that if I continue doing what I am doing I will succeed. Just thought I would share with others trying to self publish.
Could you share if you’ve taken any prep courses on KDP and what type of books are you producing (High, Med, or low)? Thanks!
how much did you make?
You are so down-to-earth.
Accurate. Fear failing to try. Don't fear trying and failing.
Thanks Sean
