My name is Jabar Brown and I didn't write this book to get an applause. I wrote it because I lived it. I lost money, time, relationships, and opportunities by doing things the hard way — over and over again. I wrote it because I was the man it was written for.

I knew what it was like to earn a good living but feel lost, to know better but still sabotage, to be told I had potential while privately drowning in patterns that never got corrected. I didn’t need another motivational quote. I needed a mirror. A system. A strategy that didn’t lie to me when I wanted to lie to myself.

“It wasn’t life that was hard… it was me that was undisciplined. That’s what Hard Way or the Highway is."

This book isn’t for the faint.
It’s for the man who knows it’s time.
Time to confront the behaviors that silently drain his bank account, his confidence, and his ability to lead.

I wrote it for the man who’s not afraid of the truth — only afraid of wasting another year hiding from it.
This book is a declaration of war on every self-sabotaging behavior we normalize as men — procrastination, distraction, avoidance, over-spending, under-planning, blaming, numbing, and (my personal vice) overthinking.

I wrote this for the man who’s tired of watching life happen instead of commanding it.

If you’re done being motivated by struggle and finally ready to be led by structure, this book is your starting point.
