Friends,

It's no secret that we're facing tough economic times. And yes, that includes blue collar workers. Everyone is struggling and people are losing their jobs all over the country in so many different sectors. But, I still maintain, that blue collar jobs are NECESSARY jobs. We can't do without electricians, plumbers, auto mechanics, or welders. We NEED people to repair our bridges and roads and tunnels.

Check out this article from The Wall Street Journal that talks about how repair shops are doing quite well during this economic downturn. If you can't afford to BUY a new one, well than FIX whatever is it that is broken... Read more here.

As I like to say, blue collar workers built this country, and we will rebuild it again and again.

And, if you're in the mood to listen to me on Cincinnati radio, you can hear me here talking about my book Blue Collar and Proud Of It. (Just scroll down 'till you see my name and then clicm on "LISTEN") Thanks to Mike McConnell for having me on as a guest.

Hang on 'till next time... and thanks for reading.

Joe

Good Morning!

Today is an incredibly exciting day for me. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, my book BLUE COLLAR & PROUD OF IT; The All-in-One-resource for Finding Freedom, Financial Success, and Security Outside of the Cubicle is released. For years I dreamed of being able to share my message and encourage others to follow their passions, their desires, and their dreams into the blue collar workforce. The skilled trades are a necessary part of society. Where would we be without our plumbers, car mechanics and electricians? Nowhere!!

It's time to restore pride in America's blue collar workforce. It's time to make sure that every kid in America feels good about what he or she is doing even if they don't go the college route. There is more than one path to success. And that's why I started this web site. Now, my book will give you first hand info on how to get into one of these skilled trades. It will introduce you to dozens of amazing skilled tradesmen and women. And it will hopefully inspire people all across the country to do what feels good and feels right for them. Remember, blue collar is America's backbone.

Join me today in celebrating the skilled trades and the blue collar men and women who keep this country running.

Oh, and pick up a book at your local bookstore, or on www.amazon.com.

Thanks for your support,
Joe
