Free tools for building things, and for building wealth. Plus the small businesses launched one week at a time.
This is the hub for the weekly zero-cost business program: one new business, built with free tools, launched every Monday. The shelf below is the toolkit that makes that possible. Everything listed here has a free tier. Nothing here cost money to list, and nothing here costs money to try.
Low-impact martial arts training for stiff joints and busy days. Week 1 free as a complete PDF; the full 4-week Foundations pack is $14 once checkout is live. Launched November 4, 2026.
Frozen-food favorites, made from scratch at home. Six free recipes built to freeze and reheat well — pizza rolls, chicken nuggets, taquitos, mozzarella sticks, breakfast burritos, and potato patties. Launched November 9, 2026.
The public diary where each launch gets written up, along with one book a week. Run by Rocky, in public, on purpose.
Free books
The program reads one public-domain or free book a week and writes about it on the diary blog.
Week 1 — The Art of War by Sun Tzu, translated by Lionel Giles (Project Gutenberg, free). Read November 9, 2026.
The Builder's Shelf is maintained as part of the weekly zero-cost business program. Links go to the tools' own sites; free tiers change, so check the listing before you sign up. No link here is paid placement. The Amazon links on the business sites carry an Associates tag and are disclosed there.
