Learning to Prosper: Financial Success After Your Mission

Written for young returned missionaries, Learning to Prosper argues that the discipline, social skills, goal-setting, and salesmanship developed on a mission translate directly into financial success. Dustin Robison walks readers through education funding, starting a business, e-commerce, sales, taxes, real estate, stock investing, leverage, and saving—while urging balance, righteous priorities, tithing, and continued gospel service. Practical exercises close each chapter. Part motivational pep talk, part personal-finance primer, it encourages debt-free graduation, entrepreneurship, and dreaming big without letting money become an idol.

• 'The mission shouldn't be the best two years of your life'—applying missionary discipline to build lifelong prosperity
• A returned missionary's playbook for graduating debt-free and starting businesses
• Reframes money-making as a righteous extension of gospel service
• Practical exercises turn motivation into action—not just another finance lecture

“the mission was the greatest two years of my life.” I don’t apologize to anybody when I say that it shouldn’t be!”

Perfect for a recently returned LDS missionary, likely a young man starting college, who wants to build wealth and avoid debt while staying faithful.
