Description
Throughout his career, Jesse James has been known as many things: star of Discover Channel’s Monster Garage, criminal, thrill seeker, husband, father, entrepreneur. With all these titles, Jesse has built his empire on one common theme—hard work. In an era of instant gratification, he knows the value of persistence and how discovering your passions can springboard you to success when you cultivate and pursue them with dedication, creativity, and care.
But success isn’t just about creating a successful business, the fame, or the money. It’s about seizing every opportunity to learn and grow. It’s about the person you are behind the scenes.
A business book unlike any other, The Art of the Craftsman gives a detailed, candid look at what it took to build his empire from the ground up, the value of hard work, and how he kept pushing once he reached the top. Featuring Jesse’s raw candor, humor, and decades of skill, this no-BS book provides practical advice and useful lessons that anyone can apply to their life or business by:
- Understanding the true value of craftsmanship
- Finding the confidence to forge your own path
- Taking care of yourself—as well as your business
- Building long-term relationships with customers
- Not settling for mediocre work (or expecting instant success)
With his unique perspective and hard-won wisdom, Jesse not only shares memorable stories, but leaves readers with a clear road map toward life’s work that is not only profitable but personally fulfilling—and reminds us all to never settle for anything less than the best.
