How to Unleash the Power of the Blue Collar Brain
Mar 13, 2023
by Dr Ruth Allan | 13 Mar 23
Ken Rusk joins Dr Ruth Allan on Episode 069 of her show 'Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain.' Ken Rusk is a Blue Collar construction entrepreneur and best selling author of the book 'Blue Collar Cash.'†
Ken spent his younger years digging ditches and working in construction. He never went to college. Instead, he made goals, planned, and worked hard for thirty years. Ken is now a very successful entrepreneur with multiple businesses and revenue streams
Over the last 30 years he's created and built construction businesses, showing that there's no degree required for comfort, peace and freedom. His mission now is to help inspiring entrepreneurs see their way to success
Ken talks about his passion of cutting the learning curve, and helping people find their 'why' so that you can manage your life rather than life happening to you
He shares the statistics on people having clear goals and how this manifests into becoming successful, as well as how you can achieve comfort, peace and freedom in life, irrespective of where you are at in life or what level of education you have
He talks about the power of anticipation and how this can push you along like the current in a river, which is a power that most people go untapped with, leveraging the power of the current of life, rather than being a victim to it
I loved this interview as it reminded me how much you can learn from the grit and determination needed in the construction business. Ken applies practical advice as a ditch digger to provide simple, life advice
