31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 18: "Share"


"Blooms in Burgundy" - Crochet

II Corinthians 9:7 - (KJV) Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.


 
One of the biggest frustrations for us creatives are people who will not share knowledge and information.  There are a lot of "experts" who are willing to say that what we do isn't right or good enough, but won't offer any help in correcting it.  Actually, creatives aren't the only ones who deal with this; unfortunately, I've seen new Christians subjected to the torture of an "expert." 

"An expert is a little spurt away from home."  Pastor T. R. Harper

Why this rift?  I think it's insecurity covered with bravado; they must dangle the carrot of their vast superiority in front of the young Padawan in order to look like an important Jedi.  Seen it, and, unfortunately, done it.

The best models are those who share some information without cost, yet earn revenue for more focused information.  Public television programs are a great example.  You can learn the basics of a craft or skill by watching, but to get the detailed instructions and the deep "how to's" you'll need to lay out some cash.  The same holds true for many of the webinars I've taken.  I get enough information to get a good start.  If I feel I need more and budget allows, I'll purchase a book or product.

Thank you for sharing.
