“This book will make you believe that you too can be financially free.”
About the book
Total Financial Awakening is a business fable. It follows Roger Alcott, a successful corporate professional whose career has given him a well-paying job, a nice home, and luxury cars — at the cost of long hours, high stress, and the time he wishes he had with his family. A chance conversation with a neighbor introduces him to residential real estate investing, and the rest of the book follows Roger as he learns the playbook that quietly built freedom for the people around him.
Readers get the same playbook Roger does: how to think about real estate as a path out of the grind, plus the practical tools — offer math, seller conversations, a purchase agreement template — packaged in the back of the book.

Frequently asked questions
Is this book for beginners or experienced investors?
Primarily beginners. The fable format walks a reader from “I have a corporate job and no real estate experience” through a complete first-deal cycle. Experienced investors will still find the offer-calculation framework and seller-conversation playbook useful as a reference.
Is this a how-to book or a story?
Both. It is a business fable: the lessons are embedded in the protagonist’s narrative arc, but the appendix includes the practical tools the characters use — offer math, seller questions, and a purchase-agreement template.
Does the book include templates I can actually use?
Yes. The purchase agreement template, the offer calculation method, and the questions to ask sellers are reproduced in full and are intended to be used on real transactions.
Where can I read or listen to it?
Paperback and Kindle through Amazon; audiobook through Audible. All three links are at the top and bottom of this page.
