Lots of books have been written on the subject of creating wealth. However, these books are usually long on philosophy and short on the actual "how to" parts. Many well-known books on the subject of making money have presented insightful theories on "wealth mentality" over the years. In these books the writer almost always encourages the reader to have a positive mental attitude and set clear goals for themselves. Does this sound familiar? While J. P. Sullivan believes clear goals and positive mental attitudes are extremely important in the wealth building process; so is the part about "how" to actually make more money! Nevertheless, you are unlikely to find another book that will explain in clear, understandable detail how to make a real six-figure income by performing step number one (1); step number two (2); step number three (3); etc., and that is what makes this book so different.There are literally thousands of six-figure jobs available to everyday people, but most have never heard of these occupations. Nevertheless it remains a simple fact; people who learn the art of getting six-figure employment will have the ability to accumulate wealth much faster than those who do not possess this skill. Having a six-figure income can make it possible to pay off debts, take advantage of investment opportunities, and acquire income-producing assets, which can increase your wealth far beyond what merely having a normal job can do for you. In other words, it's a lot easier to become wealthy if you already make a six-figure income.J. P. Sullivan believes it is at this income level where life can really begin to change for most people. This book will focus on obtaining real, steady six-figure employment by knowing where to look for these jobs, and more importantly, how to get them. Congratulations! You are about to begin a journey that will change the rest of your life. Rest assured you have never read anything quite like this!

A Wall Street Journal Bestseller A prescriptive and timely guide to finding success and happiness without a college degree by Ken Rusk, the Ohio-based entrepreneur and “million-dollar ditch digger” who believes it is time to celebrate the possibilities and financial opportunities that a Blue-Collar life can bring. A BLUE-COLLAR APPROACH TO CREATING A LIFE YOU LOVE In a period of skyrocketing student loan debt without the promise of high-paying employment, and in an economy in desperate need of skilled tradespeople, many are seeking new paths. Ken Rusk, the “million-dollar ditch digger,” is here to show you that blue-collar trades are a source of pride and that you can—and will—find your version of happiness by pursuing a good old-fashioned craft. In Blue Collar Cash, Ken shares his insights from over 30 years working in blue collar trades as an entrepreneur, mentor, and life coach. Ken knows from his own experience—first as a young kid digging ditches, and then as the owner of a successful concrete construction business—that working with your hands at a job that takes skill and practice can be monumentally rewarding and life-affirming. Since then, he has built a multi-million-dollar business and gone on to mentor hundreds of employees in how to manage their money and set achievable goals. Using the stories of those who have discovered lives of comfort, peace, and freedom, Ken creates a step-by-step, interactive guide—including financial planning and savings advice—to creating alternative and realistic routes to success and fulfillment.

From bestselling writer David Graeber—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences. Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).
