Three books. One ladder. Same one you already climbed.
Apprentice, journeyman, master. Every chapter written in the language of the trades — no jargon without a translation, no math without the work shown.
APPRENTICE
Pay yourself first with the 10/20/30 system, plug the big three leaks — trucks, tools, toys — and build the backup generator that holds when the hours get cut.
JOURNEYMAN
The snowball effect, your investment tool store, retirement as a plan — plus feast-and-famine money for seasonal work and getting your family on the crew.
MASTER
Side work that pays twice, 1099 and self-employed money, real estate for people who can actually fix a roof, and the exit — retiring when YOU decide.
All three books. One order. Nine bucks off.
Apprentice through Master, $27 instead of $36. Start at stage one even if you think you're past it — most people find a leak in chapter two.
THE FIELD GUIDE WORKBOOK
The pencil-and-paper companion to all three volumes: worksheets, checklists, and the worst-month budget grid, sized for a clipboard.
