Lessons Learned
How to build a Nest Egg and Revenue Stream
Built from 20 years of mistakes — dart-throwing at news-driven stocks, then chasing unsustainable high yields — and a decade of refinement, Lessons Learned walks through the Total Growth Investing methodology from first principles.
Why high yields fail. Why price growth alone isn't enough. How a ranked watchlist changes the way you make buy decisions. How to think about the journey from building a portfolio to living off one. Written for real investors, not Wall Street professionals.

If what you read helps you build a better portfolio, the Kindle edition is how you pay it forward. The royalty goes back into the work. Until IPFS Sats makes Lightning zaps a thing, that's what we've got.
An updated edition is in development. Version 0.3 will incorporate the Living Civilization framework that underpins the TGI strategy structurally — explaining not just what works, but why. A paperback edition is planned alongside the Kindle release.
