"There are no 'shortcuts' to success, but Juan Carosso has given you the next best thing… If you or someone you care about wants to live the American Dream, has a strong work ethic, and can follow simple directions, Juan has given you a roadmap to making that dream come true. In his phenomenal At Your Best series, he has carved out in painstaking detail an easy-to-follow plan to tap into one of over 6,000,000 well-paying jobs out there, that go unfilled every year. This should be a must-read for everyone already in, or about to enter the workforce."

A Bit about the Author
My family came to the US from Argentina in 1963. The Skilled Trades set the foundation on which my family was able to realize our American Dream by providing us our pathway to success in the US.
I'm 100% committed to helping close the growing Skills Gap that is threatening our economy and our quality of life.
I launched At Your Best and the AYB Playbook series as a way to give back by helping others realize their American Dream through successful careers and small business creation in the Skilled Trades.
