What is a knowledge worker?
Info from Wikipedia: What differentiates knowledge work from other forms of work is its primary task of “non-routine” problem solving that requires a combination of convergent, divergent, and creative thinking. As an employee, knowledge workers spend 38% of their time searching for information. They are also often displaced from their bosses, working in various departments and time zones or from remote sites such as home offices.
A knowledge worker is anyone who works for a living (entrepreneurial or otherwise) at the tasks of developing or using knowledge.
Example: A knowledge worker might be someone who works at any of the tasks of planning, acquiring, searching, analyzing, organizing, storing, programming, distributing, marketing, or otherwise creating programs, products or services that help others.
Brawn Worker Examples: By-the-hour instructor, factory worker, manual laborer (trade worker), coach on the playing field, drone in someone else’s machine, any job that leaves you physically exhausted and unable to train how you want, etc.
Knowledge Worker Examples: App Developer, Fitness or Personal Development Software Development, Internet Marketer, Author, Speaker, Information Product Developer, Online Coach, Mentor, Expert/Guru

Thanks for helping the word get out. I think people have a hard time recognizing just how valuable the knowledge that they already has is. The difference between most experts and everyday laborers is experience or expertise. It’s the ability to package that experience and expertise into a system that works for others.
I first came across the term “infopreneuring” in a book I read 3 years ago. I’d already tried and failed twice in embarrassing forays into the blogging world. When i came across that term and the pages that followed it I realized just how valuable the information that I already knew was. That night started me on my journey into becoming a knowledge worker. I had no idea just how powerful it was. Well, now I’m 26 and work for myself on the net. I still work a lot of hours but it’s on my own terms. Oh, that and I do it in Hawaii.
What I do think all knowledge workers need to keep in mind is integrity. I’m in this for the long term and reputation is everything. I will never promote a product I don’t personally approve of and I go by my feel. If it stinks run. It’s easy to get tempted into making a couple thousand dollars the minute a minor reputation has been built. The true knowledge workers understand to hold on and remember why they love what they do in the first place.
So thanks for sharing this. I’m internet high fiving you from here. I think more people need to realize that the information contained within their brains is far more valuable than the brawn contained within their muscles.
