Produktbeschreibung

You aced tests, crushed papers, maybe even walked the stage... and still woke up asking, 'Now what?' Welcome to the real final exam. It's graded on bills, bosses, and how fast you bounce back. 'This Wasn't on the Final Exam' is the no-BS field guide to adulting for ages 17-28. Money moves. First-job plays. Habits that survive Mondays. Emotional regulation when life punches you in the throat. All in simple steps you can run today... even if motivation is missing. Inside you'll learn how to read the room without losing yourself, write emails people answer, and set calendar blocks that actually happen. You'll build a simple money system you can stick with... 401(k) and Roth IRA basics, a starter budget you won't hate, and a radar for scams and high-interest traps. You'll practice quick resets that calm hot emotions and turn failure into data. Short chapters. Easy checklists. Real stories. Purposeful white space so your brain can breathe. The promise is simple... progress beats perfection. Every time. You're not behind. You're just early in the process. Open to any page and take one small win. Then do it again tomorrow. Russ Nelson grew up in the Midwest, joined the Army straight out of high school, and has been collecting real-world experience... and painful wisdom... ever since. He spent over a decade in the gaming industry, followed by over 15 years in wireless, leading award-winning sales teams, and now developing leaders nationally at one of the biggest companies in the United States. If it involves people, performance, or growth, Russ has the receipts. Along the way, Russ earned a bachelor's degree in business management and is currently working towards two master's degrees, proving that you're never too old... or too busy... to finish what you started. That blend of hard-earned experience and formal education shows up on every page of his book. Russ is certified in Executive Presentation Skills, influence & negotiation, CliftonStrengths (globally), ProSci change management, DiSC personality styles, The 6 Types of Working Genius, and more. This means he can easily spot potential, bring out the best, and make it stick. 'This Wasn't on the Final Exam' was born from two things: his own hard-earned lessons navigating adulthood and the struggles he watched his adult kids, and way too many others, go through while trying to figure it all out without a clue. He wrote this to be the guide he wishes he'd had, or his kids would have had, while growing up. With an S-style personality and Enablement as his top working genius, Russ lives to help people succeed. Not just to feel inspired, but to actually equip people to move forward with practical tools, clarity, and a nudge in the right direction. Outside of writing and his professional career, Russ lives for his 'littles', is an audiobook junkie, a fan of fiction and nonfiction alike, and lives by the mottos 'Change is inevitable. Growth is optional,' 'You never lose. You either win or you learn,' and 'Be curious, not judgmental.'
