Synopsis

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 careers 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 invaluable career advice and 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 financial freedom and fulfillment. 

Blue-Collar Cash provides a commonsense blueprint for building a rewarding, debt-free life on your own terms:

• A True Alternative to College: Challenge the four-year-degree myth and explore the pride, satisfaction, and massive financial opportunities available in the skilled trades.
• Actionable Career Advice: Learn directly from the “million-dollar ditch digger” as Ken Rusk shares powerful insights from over 30 years of hands-on entrepreneurship.
• Your Blueprint for Financial Freedom: Follow a step-by-step, interactive guide to manage your money, create a budget that works, and build a future of comfort, peace, and freedom.
• Inspirational Success Stories: Get motivated by the real-life stories of people who have achieved their dreams by working with their hands and forging their own paths.
