The Workforce Playbook
The Workforce Playbook is a no-fluff guide for young men and women stepping into real life after graduation. Written by career expert Larry Martin, it delivers the straight truth about money, mindset, and maturity — the lessons school never taught but life will demand. Packed with reflection exercises, templates, and real-world wisdom, this playbook is your roadmap from first paycheck to future success.
Stepping out of high school is exciting — and terrifying. The world doesn’t hand out participation trophies, it hands out bills, deadlines, and expectations. The Workforce Playbook shows recent grads how to face that reality with grit, discipline, and direction.
Inside, Larry Martin — recruiter, mentor, and proven professional — shares hard-won lessons from his own climb through the workforce: what happens when comfort kills growth, how to turn any job into a classroom, and why ownership always beats excuses. Each chapter includes reflection questions and practical worksheets designed to help readers move from paycheck to purpose.
Whether you’re living at home, renting your first apartment, or trying to figure out your next move, this isn’t another “feel good” workbook — it’s a field guide for building character, stacking skills, and finding pride in honest work. Real talk. Real tools. Real results.
