Episode 270 Ken Rusk | Championing the Blue-Collar Work
Thursday Apr 07, 2022
Thursday Apr 07, 2022
“To be able to understand what somebody goes through at the beginning of the process was valuable. I’m glad I kept my eyes open and worked my way up to the company and ended up on my own because now I can create a culture where people want to come to work.”
Ken Rusk never got a college degree, but he successfully rose through all the challenges and become the President of Rusk industries, entrepreneur, and author of Blue Collar Cash. He considered himself a professional ditch digger and a proud advocate of setting your goals and following your dreams. He dug his way to a successful life, a shovel of dirt at a time, and is now sharing his experience and teaching blue-collar workers to do the same.
Blue-collar jobs can be the path to success that may overlook.
“If you are a contrarian thinker, when everybody else goes this way, then maybe you should go that way. You’re going to make a great life, and you’re going to make a lot of money in the blue-collar world.”
Join us as we listen to another story of a successful entrepreneur and learn how setting a crystal clear vision can help you achieve your goals even without getting a college degree. Create your own path to success and fulfillment and take advantage of the blue-collar positions.
