Who needs a degree when you can build an eight-figure business? In No College, No Problem, Phillip Lanier shares his unconventional journey, proving that grit, strategy, and real-world learning can outperform a college diploma—no student loans required!

“You have to go to college . . . unless you want to dig ditches for a living!”

That was the warning Phillip Lanier’s high school teachers gave him. Little did they know he would literally turn digging ditches into an $18 million, multistate construction company!

In No College, No Problem, Phillip shares his unconventional journey from barely graduating high school to building—and eventually selling—an eight-figure business. His story proves that a college degree isn’t the only path to success.

Part memoir, part business manual, this book reveals:
  • The irreplaceable power of grit, determination, and hard work.
  • How to identify and seize opportunities others overlook.
  • How to turn someone else’s problems into your winning solutions.
  • The value of growing a business strategically—with minimal debt and calculated risk.
  • Practical strategies for managing finances and navigating economic challenges.
  • How to create a real-world business education through books, podcasts, and mentorship—often outperforming a six-figure college degree.

Whether you’re considering skipping college, questioning your career path, or determined to build a thriving business on your own terms, No College, No Problem is a must-read. Phillip’s journey will inspire you to rethink success and take control of your future—no diploma required.
