From the Book
The massive cathedral doors EXPLODED INWARD. And filling the entrance — Black Ember. Fire poured from the dragon's mouth, not at Robin. At the CROWD. The first three rows vanished in flame. Just… gone.
You might be wondering what this has to do with business (lol!).
Well, it does in a major way. As you can see, this book is just really… different.
From the Author
Why I Wrote a Business Book
With Dragons
Let me get to the point — when I sat down to write a business book about making money online, I didn't plan to include Viking ships, floating islands, or a dark lord who hunts dreamers through the mist.
I tried writing it straight. Just the facts. Just the six skills and thirteen principles that actually work.
It was boring and lifeless.
And worse — it didn't stick. People read it, nodded, and forgot everything by the next morning. But dragons I could get into (and I'm guessing you might also). So I wrote this instead.
A story about a man named Robin who failed forty-two times before he found the real path. Just like I did. Just like you might be doing right now.
A tale of floating islands and ancient wisdom, of traps that destroy dreams and mentors who show the way through (or take all your money).
And woven through every chapter — the actual skills, strategies, and principles that took me from broke and burned out to building something real.
The Heart of the Journey
The 6 SCROLLS
In the story, Robin discovers six ancient scrolls — each one containing a skill that separates those who succeed online from those who don't.
The Scroll of Vision
Knowing what you actually want — and building toward it on purpose. Most people skip this. Robin almost did too.
The Scroll of Connection
How to build real trust with real people. Not funnels and tricks — genuine human connection that creates customers for life.
The Scroll of Value
The art of giving before you ask. How to create content that helps people — and makes them want to follow you.
The Scroll of Traffic
Eyeballs. Attention. The lifeblood of any online business. How to get the right people to actually see what you've built.
The Scroll of Conversion
Turning interest into action. Not with pressure or hype — but with honest communication that makes people feel safe to say yes.
The Scroll of Duplication
Building something that works without you. Systems, not hustle. Leverage, not burnout. This is where real freedom lives.
Why This Book Works
Most Business Books
Get Forgotten by Tuesday
Here's something I learned the hard way: information alone doesn't change behavior. If it did, everyone who read a diet book would be thin.
Business books are the same. You read them, highlight a few lines, feel motivated for 48 hours… and then nothing changes.
Silver & Scrolls is different because stories stick. You'll remember Robin standing at the edge of the floating island, deciding whether to jump — and you'll remember the business lesson that moment teaches. Because you felt it, not just read it.
That's the whole point. Lessons wrapped in story become part of you.
"The path to freedom isn't paved with shortcuts.
It's paved with skills most people never learn."
— from Silver & Scrolls, Chapter 4
Chapter One is completely free. No email. No catch.
Just a really good story that might change how you think about business.
Inside This Book
Real Marketing Principles
From the Best in the Business
Over the past 25 years, I've invested over $17,000 learning from millionaire mentors and top-earning marketers. But more importantly, I've invested thousands of hours testing, failing, and discovering what actually works.
Every principle in this book comes from battle-tested strategies that create real results.
Mentors I've Studied Under
These mentors have generated millions in combined online revenue:
Alan Cosens • Jeff Aman • Rob Fraser • Jeff Mills • Michael Price
Max Steingart • Franco Gonzalez • Gregg Davidson • Mike Hobbs
Paul Hutchings • Ryan Gunnings • And Many More
- Mike Hobbs and Paul Hutchings have collectively earned over $2 million from home through their home business ventures. Both founders have impressive track records as seven-figure earners.
- Ace & Rich Guzman: from "Motel 6 to Puerto Rico". Went from welfare and struggling just to get by... to running a six-figure affiliate business from Puerto Rico. Their team has generated over $250K in sales in under 6 months.
- Ryan Gunness – Multiple 6-figure years
- Gregg Davison – $7+ million earned online
- Shawn Powell – Built 3 different businesses to $10k-40k/month in first 90 days
- Jeff Mills – Over $7 million in product sales since 2003
- Max Steingart – Mentored hundreds to million-dollar incomes
- Rob Fraser – Paid off $100k+ debt in 9 months, sponsored 10,000+ people
- Michael Price – Sales Rep of the Year, Fortune 100 company
- Franco Gonzalez, Steve Gresham, and many more
These aren't theories from business school. These are battle-tested strategies from people who've built real businesses, made real money, and taught others to do the same.
I didn't learn these skills from textbooks.
The six skills in this book? I learned them from these legends, tested them in my own journey through 42 failures, and wrapped them in a story you'll actually remember.
