Every address above goes straight to the book, not to a search. Some of these shops do not operate in every country, Apple Books among them; if a link will not open where you are, Kobo and Smashwords sell almost everywhere, and Amazon and Lulu ship the paperback almost everywhere. Still stuck? Tell me and I will sort it out.
How to read it, on any device
The ebook is a standard EPUB file, the format almost every reading app understands. Pick what you read on.
- Buy the ebook from Smashwords. You need a free account there, and the file also arrives by email.
- On a phone, open the file, tap Share and choose Kindle; change the title to Business Rooster before you send. On a computer, drop the file on amazon.com/sendtokindle.
- The book appears in your Kindle library, on the device and in the app, usually within minutes.
Apple Books and Kobo open the book in their own free app, straight after you buy. Where Apple Books does not sell, Kobo usually does.
Bought the file from Smashwords? You can also read it right in the browser there, with no app. On an iPhone or iPad, tap it and choose Books. On Android, install the free ReadEra app from Google Play and open the file in it, or send it to the Kindle app as described above.
Not sure which shop? Reading on a Kindle, choose Smashwords. On a phone or tablet, choose Kobo or Apple Books.
Nothing is sold on this page. Every purchase happens at the shop you choose, under that shop’s own terms. The prices listed are each shop’s own, not mine, they are shown in that shop’s currency, and they can change without notice, so the figure at checkout is the one that counts.
Five rungs.
Find yours.
Almost nobody explains the ladder in order, so most people climb it by accident. One question runs underneath all five rungs, and it is the only test the book uses: who feeds whom?
Part I- The Egg · The Intern You pay with time to learn. Knowledge is the wage. You are here in your first job, or hunting for it, or starting over at forty in a new field, which makes you an egg again.
Part II- The Chick · The Employee You sell time for money, and the paycheck stops when your time stops. Most of the working world lives here. Nothing is wrong with it, as long as you know you are standing on it.
Part III- The Cockerel · The Manager You sell results, not hours, and you are paid for other people’s output. The costume ranges from shift leader to chief executive. The rung is the same.
Part IV- The Rooster · The Owner You own the system, and the system still needs you. The paperwork of starting is a country-specific afternoon. The courage is the universal part.
Part V- The Old Rooster · The Investor Your money works instead of you. The old rooster is not an age. It is a state, open to anyone whose money has started working shifts.
Bestselling author.
Twenty years in business, every rung climbed.
You do not read this book.
You work it.
Twenty-seven chapters, each ending in The Rooster’s Call: one action, doable this week, usually today. Five scorecards that tell you where you actually stand. And a plain-words glossary of the money terms school never taught anybody.
A promise is not money, and the only money you can trust is the money in your bank account.
Wealth was never the income. Wealth is the gap.
One word changes: build ON platforms, never INTO them.
Busy is not a rank, it is a confession.
Twenty-seven chapters.
What each one teaches.
Read it straight through, or find your rung and start there. Either way, every chapter ends in one action you can take this week.
Twenty-seven Calls
You have read what is in it.
The rest is doing it.
Paperback on Amazon and Lulu, printed and shipped worldwide. Ebook 9.99 USD on Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Thalia, Casa del Libro and seven more.
