Scaling Smart

You've built a profitable business. Now it's running you.

Rich and I wrote Scaling Smart for entrepreneurs who are ready to get their time back without giving up growth. It's more than twenty years of what we've learned building and scaling companies, distilled into one practical guide.

We share how to align your personal and professional vision and bring your team along with you, why scaling and growth aren't the same thing, and the systems that keep you from burning out. You'll also learn how to create passive income that lasts and use technology to free up time for you and your team.

Growth should give you more freedom, not less. This book shows you how.

Retire Rich with Rentals

Most people dream of retiring comfortably, maybe even early. But the traditional path of saving and waiting is slow, and inflation quietly eats away at whatever you manage to set aside.

I wrote Retire Rich with Rentals because I believe there's a better way. Cash-flowing rental property can give you steady income and a real hedge against inflation.

In this book, I walk you through how I choose markets, spot solid deals and build passive income, all without fixing toilets or getting your hands dirty.

It's actually quite simple when you follow the rules.
