The High-Growth Contractor:
The No-BS Blueprint to Go From $500K to $1M, $10M, and BeyondYou don't have a lead problem. You have a system problem.Most contractors aren't running a business — they're running a stressful job with trucks, missed calls, half-written estimates, and no idea which jobs actually make money. The High-Growth Contractor hands you the operating manual.Justin Smith built Contractor+, the operating system contractors use to run and grow their businesses. In this no-BS blueprint he shows you how to stop thinking like a technician and start running like an operator — and scale from $500K to $1M, $10M, and beyond.Inside, you'll build:The Two Pipelines — sales and production — so no lead, estimate, or job ever falls through the cracks.The numbers that tell the truth — the handful of metrics that reveal what's actually profitable. Revenue lies; margin doesn't.Speed-to-lead — why the contractor who answers first usually wins, and the 5-minute rule that makes it automatic.Estimates that sell — good/better/best, financing, and follow-up that turns quotes into signed jobs.Financing as a growth lever — how "as low as $/mo" turns more nos into yeses and lifts your average ticket.The Local Trust Machine — reviews, Google, and local SEO that make you the obvious, safest choice.Neighborhood Domination — the step-by-step playbook that turns every finished job into your next three.Plus paid ads without burning cash, the review & referral flywheel, production that protects profit, and who to hire, when.It closes with a 90-Day Growth Reset — an exact, week-by-week plan to install the whole machine.Part growth manual, part sales training, part wake-up call. If you're good at the work but tired of chasing jobs, this is the book that turns your trade into a business.Stop chasing random jobs. Build the machine.

Vanished Roads Vanished RoadsVanished Roads is a collection of 104 contemporary haiku by Thomas L. Vaultonburg, illustrated by artist Tré, that explores memory, loss, place, aging, solitude, and the possibility of renewal. Rooted in the landscapes and changing seasons of the American Midwest, the book approaches haiku through what Vaultonburg calls Prairie Zen: an informal, distinctly Midwestern way of paying attention to the ordinary world and discovering that the ordinary is rarely ordinary when we actually stop to look at it.

These poems travel through back roads, rivers, fields, birds, snow, abandoned places, moonlight, childhood memories, and the small encounters that accumulate into a life. Rather than treating nature as scenery separate from human experience, Vanished Roads finds the two continually crossing. Grief appears in weather. Memory inhabits roads and houses. Birds become momentary companions. Seasons remind us that disappearance and renewal are not opposites but parts of the same process.

The book moves through an emotional arc from grief and disorientation toward acceptance, attentiveness, and renewed engagement with the world. Its central idea is not that we can recover what has disappeared. Some roads really do vanish. People die. Places change. Childhood ends. Bodies age. The past cannot be reconstructed simply because we miss it. Instead, the poems ask what becomes visible when we stop trying to find our way back and begin paying attention to where we actually are.

Artist Tré’s eight original illustrations are an essential part of that journey. They are not merely decorative additions to the poems. His images create another visual language running alongside the haiku, giving the book the feeling of a small collaborative art object as much as a conventional poetry collection. The spare relationship between poem, illustration, and open space allows the reader to slow down rather than race through the book.

That spaciousness is deliberate. Vanished Roads is designed around the traditional brevity of haiku, generally presenting a single poem on a page and allowing each moment room to exist on its own. The poems are accessible without requiring previous knowledge of haiku, Zen, or contemporary poetry. They can be read individually in seconds, but the cumulative experience of the collection reveals a larger meditation on impermanence, resilience, and attention.Use the Link Below to Get Your Copy of Vanished Roads

Fragments of Wrath
Twelve-hundred years ago, the Bloodmoon shattered. Now, a single, wrathful shard has fallen into Skeltryal.

The Reckoning has begun.

On a night that should have been like any other, a wrathful shard comes crashing into the Astern Sea, igniting a clash between those devoted to the Blood gods and the worshipers of the Celestial realms. As the wrath of the gods stir once more, Skeltryal is threatened with a war that could reshape the world into a living Abyss.

Mysteries are unraveled and tensions rise between the four elemental kingdoms. Six must find their place. The astronomer, who will unravel the Blood gods’ dark ambitions; the assassin, bound to Insanity; the atheist, conflicted by belief when fables become reality; the Bloodkissed, discovering forbidden truths in the lands of the lost; the Scholar, who defies his sanctum’s laws to stop a looming war; and the Hollow, who begins a descent into darkness from which he may never return.

As fate draws their paths together, each must choose where they stand in the coming storm—beneath the Bloodmoon’s wrath or against it.Use the links below to get your copy of Fragments of WrathHardcover 32.99:

The Perpetual Raise: The Perpetual Raise:A Crowdfunding Strategy for Founders, Operators, and Investors Who Care About the Payday
Everyone celebrates the raise. Almost nobody asks the only question that matters.Did the capital create real enterprise value — or did the round just create a higher number on paper?The startup world worships the mega-round: raise as much as you can, as early as you can, at the highest valuation, from the biggest names. The Perpetual Raise is the opposite discipline — a capital operating system for founders who want to keep control and actually reward the people who backed them.The sequence is simple and ruthless: Raise. Deploy. Prove. Report. Reprice. Repeat. Exit. Raise the smallest meaningful amount that funds the next milestone. Deploy it fast into the highest-confidence use. Prove the result. Then — and only then — reopen at better terms.Justin Smith built Contractor+ on under $750,000 raised from the crowd and zero venture capital. In this book he shows founders, operators, and everyday investors how the new rules of capital actually work:The real legal lanes — Reg CF, Reg A, and Reg D 506(c) — explained at a strategy level, without the legalese.Raise-to-deploy vs. raise-to-survive: the moral line most founders blur — and how to write a use-of-proceeds you can be graded on.The Iceberg of Capital Cost — the platform fee you see, and the interest, dilution, investor-acquisition cost, and control you don't.Eleven real crowdfunding case studies — RAD Intel, Legion M, RISE Robotics, Miso, Gumroad, Monogram (crowd → Nasdaq → acquisition), Boxabl, Knightscope, Arrive AI, BackerKit, Solectrac — the wins, the warnings, and the line between a markup and a payday.The Investor-Whole Doctrine: customers first, investors second, founders last — and why that order is a point of pride.The Milestone Stack and a five-year architecture for building a company an acquirer actually wants.This isn't hype. It's a field manual — hand-drawn diagrams, honest numbers, and a doctrine you can run this quarter.Investors don't get paid from screenshots. They get paid from cash. Go earn your next round.
