Review By Jack Campitelli, J.D.
No Job Needed! Millionaires wanted! A complete guide about making money fast with information you carry only in your head that you can take with you if you move and can feed you in your new location immediately. No licenses, no degrees required. Perfect for the unemployed, underemployed, freedom lovers and PT’s.
This is the only book I’m aware of whose whole focus is to help you get the skills you need to “just go” if you need to and never miss a day of making money. It is not a survivalist guide that tells you how to raise chickens and sell eggs at the local farmer’s market. It is a guide for prosperity that you can and should start using right where you are. If you have no job, it’s your primary money making venture. If you have a job, then you start a second front. Sometimes the “second front” money surpasses your primary job.
This is the kind of book that can change lives. For the better!
Portable Trades and Occupations is a classic, originally written in the 1980s. No longer available in hard print. It was originally written by Peter Trevellian (note the initials are “PT”) while he was residing in Panama, I believe. The new e-book has been freshened and available for instant download at www.AscoliBooks.com, an authorized distributor.
The advice the book gives, the examples and the information, works anyplace in the world. Yes, even third world countries.
It gives the reader hope that he or she can achieve a modicum of freedom in their life – freedom from religious or political oppression, or a terrible job, or painful poverty.
I’ve lived in many places. And one of the things I’ve noticed is that the need to earn a living keeps one glued to one place more than any other reason – except perhaps the demand to live close to your spouse’s relatives. And often keeps you glued long after you should have been gone. Some folks want to move from the countryside to the city for more excitement and “freedom”. But their rural skills don’t translate to anything more than menial jobs in the city. They work hard just to be as poor as they were in the countryside. Conversely, some folks want to leave the grind and noise of the city for a more peaceful living in the countryside. Their job as director of operations of a big IT company have little use in the countryside. They’re going to need an income generating plan that works from wherever they are.
Anyone moving to a new place or a new country has immediate income problems. The faster you learn to do things where the knowledge base is in your head, the faster you’ll be able to have some sense of freedom, let alone survival.
And keep in mind that sometimes the decision to move is suddenly forced upon you by political upheaval or a natural disaster. Just having a “job,” where you work for someone else, is NOT a survival skill. It feeds you. Never forget that! You might as well be wearing an electronic monitoring device on your ankle – you can only move so far from the “job” before you’re unemployed. And if the employer fires you or the business falters or dies, so will you. Having a job has nothing to do with survival except for the day.
All of us need to learn to fend for ourselves. You need to teach the skills you learn to your kids. You need to make sure that at least one of your skills is totally “portable”. Our schools, including our colleges, prepared students for the job world. Not the real world. The real world includes economic disruptions where your “job” disappears; as well as other situations that make it undesirable to stay where you are any longer. Your survival and that of your family depends on your ability to pack a bag and leave, knowing you will have no trouble earning money somewhere else or that your business resides on the internet.
This book is about a whole new way of looking at life. One that is the start of real freedom and security because you carry all you need right inside you.
I’m going to make a suggestion. Buy this book first. But afterward, re-visit www.AscoliBooks.com and buy “Production versus Plunder” by Paul Rosenberg. This book should be required reading in every school in the world. But it won’t be. Because it tells the truth about how economies and politics really works. It’s an easy read and a fast moving story that starts where human history starts and moves quickly to the present. Mostly, you discover that you and I exist for other people (the plunderers) to use and exploit. As soon as we have accumulated something, someone takes it from us: taxes, expropriation, out right theft. In early history the plunders stole anything valuable and burned the village to the ground. However, like a good parasite, it has learned to suck what it needs from us without actually killing the host – us.
To be free and have money, we need to break this cycle. Portable Trades and Ocupations does this perfectly. You can purchase Portable Trades and Occupations from www.ascolibooks.com
I arranged with the publisher for my readers to have a sneak peak at the book. You can read the first few pages at http://www.ascolibooks.com/preview-pto.html

I am still considering this book as a purchase. I was wondering, have you ever heard of Trivita?
