Worth the read!
Incremental-growth mindset is my takeaway! This is especially for people juggling finances, family, and side-projects (like me) Instead of chasing big, risky leaps, the book shows how smaller, steady wins change into sustainable growth. Great find!

Great read on how to regroup and rebuild after things fall apart.
I enjoyed the “how to” element to this book which works well with the way I’m wired. It’s easy to read and easy to follow. I do enjoy hearing people’s success stories but sometimes we need a “this is how you get there” manual and this is exactly that.

Raw Lessons, Real Growth
I’m a little over halfway through Stacking Bricks, and I keep having to stop because there’s so much I want to highlight. Nearly every chapter hits on something that resonates with me. I really appreciate the openness and vulnerability Jordan brings when sharing his hardest lessons learned. It’s rare to see a seasoned entrepreneur be so candid about the realities behind the scene and that exact honesty is what makes this book stand out.
The pacifier I was sent was completely wrong, bulb and type. The description doesn’t match the product type at all- beware –
Excited to read!
Looking forward to reading this book about an entrepreneur who doesn’t let any adversity win!

A must read for anyone building their life and business
Stacking Bricks is one of those rare books that’s both simple and powerful. Jordan Tampien breaks down success into practical, doable steps — no fluff, no ego, just real experience and real lessons. What I love most is how actionable it is. Every chapter gives you something you can apply immediately, whether you’re trying to grow a business, improve your mindset, or build a better life overall.Jordan’s story, perspective, and honesty make this book stand out. It’s motivating without being cheesy, and direct without being harsh. I walked away feeling clearer, more focused, and genuinely inspired to start “stacking bricks” in my own life.Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a grounded, proven path to long-term success.

Powerful Little Mirror
What struck me most about this book wasn’t its guidance but the clarity in how it’s presented. It reads like a mirror held up without judgment. It asks you to slow down and look at the parts of your life you don’t always see clearly, don’t always want to face, or have learned to look away from. The structure is designed for your own insight to unfold, giving space to pause and engage with your own patterns, not just the author’s ideas.One insight that resonated was that failure isn’t a bad thing that trying, being seen trying, and learning through the “failures” is what actually moves you closer to your most aligned path. It’s a meaningful resource for anyone needing a bit of clarity when life feels blurred or heavy. The kind of book that doesn’t tell you who to be, but helps you hear yourself more clearly.
