Whistleblower Police Officer Turned Educator

May 11, 2015

Dear Cathy:

I am a whistleblower and former police officer and would like to set up a business educating the community on abusive law enforcement practices?  How do I get started? Law Enforcement Educator, Washington, DC

Dear Law Enforcement Educator:

First of all coming from law enforcement you have what they call “specialized knowledge.”  Many people have “general knowledge” but not everyone has specialized knowledge so I applaud you for wanting to share your knowledge with the world.

Other fields that have specialized knowledge are the education field, mortgage industry, healthcare field -- amongst others.  Anyone with specialized knowledge can write a book, become a speaker, teach a class, give seminars, workshops, webinars, consultations and educate the community. 

In order to be successful in these fields though, you will need to create a product such as a book, booklet, CD, DVD or some other product. 

To learn more about how business works, you can read my business book “How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide To Starting Your Own Business" – available as an e-book or paperback.
