The Owner's Code: The Quiet Rules of People Who Build Things That Last (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798170746484)

Nobody handed him this book. Not growing up, not in twenty-one years of Navy uniform, not after. So Carlton James wrote the book he was never given: the quiet rules that let ordinary families build wealth that outlives them.

The Owner's Code is generational wealth stripped of the hype - ten timeless laws, each proven by the real families who lived them: the Astors, the Rothschilds, the Vanderbilts who lost it all in three generations, and a Japanese house that lasted fourteen centuries.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Cross from earning a paycheck to owning assets that pay you


• Build and protect wealth with the structures old money actually uses


• Raise heirs who keep a fortune instead of spending it


• Write your own family constitution - tonight


• Guard the one asset that outlives the money: your name

Built to be read at any age and handed down, it walks the Code through a whole life - from a child with a jar to an elder passing on a fortune - and closes with a letter to the next generation.

At its heart is one man: Prince Albert Jones Sr., an Alabama farmer and civil rights pioneer whose community still bears his name, and whose five words to the author changed everything - "Carry on your good name."

Timeless. Borderless. Built to last a hundred years. This is the book for anyone who was never handed one.
