Acerca de esta escucha
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 more than 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 multimillion-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.

Historia
Problem: Most Americans don't realize the potential gold mine in blue-collar business. By blue-collar business I mean a business providing a specialized service requiring a trained employee and manual labor. In my case it is chimney sweeping, but it can range from construction to gardening to plumbing and junk removal. There are literally thousands and thousands of opportunities, but many people don't consider blue-collar work as an option and are missing out as a result.

In 2010, Tommy Mello became the sole owner/operator of a single garage door service business with $50,000 in debt. Today, A1Garage generates over $30 million in annual revenue, with over 250 employees in 12 states. He shows home service business owners how he did it, and they, too, can in Home Service Millionaire. If you’re like most home service business owners, you are probably just scraping by. You can’t grow your business because there aren’t any more hours in a day.

We push ourselves into unnecessary conflicts when we should feel like we’re all in this together. When someone says “you can’t joke about that,” what they really mean is “this is a subject that makes people sad or angry.”

There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

Three Wall Street firms have quietly amassed more money than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Andrew Carnegie, and John Rockefeller combined. But the money isn’t even theirs. These asset managers have accumulated all their power through “passive funds,” as most investors no longer believe anyone can reliably pick stocks. Yet the Big Three have decided that they can reliably pick the right social policies instead.

Ive read hundreds of self-help/personal development books. This one will be among the top. I will recommend to my friends and colleagues moving forward. The author does a great job of telling stories from his own life to prove the points he wants to make in the book. I learned so many success principles, it’s no wonder the author is so successful in business himself!

This book should be required reading for everyone.
I loved this book. The topics discussed are extremely relevant in today's world. I own an industrial service company and for the past 10 years, I have had a terrible time hiring young people who want to work with their hands and become tradesman, Even though I did get a college degree, I grew up as a blue collar worker and I still have a blue collar mindset. We now have a society full of people who got college degrees and often took on a lot of debt, only to find their job prospects slim. There are limitless $100,000+ jobs out there for anyone willing to become a skilled tradesman and who is willing to work hard. This book has a lot of common sense content and advice beyond the merits of not going to college. Setting goals, budgeting, having balance in your life are key components of a good life. The author covers all of this. This book does not discourage going to college, it simply and honestly points out that it is not the only path to success. If you have kids, read this book. If you are stuck in your career, read this book. If you are having trouble keeping your employees happy, read this book. This is full of great advice, inspiring stories, and an optimistic view of the world and the opportunities for all of us seize.
