An Author Wednesday Interview with Brett Kitchen and Ethan Kap, authors of “Safe Money Millionaire”

Say good bye to the worn out advice that has you on a financial roller coaster.  Contrary to what the Wall Street media machine promotes…you don’t have to risk losing your hard earned money to grow wealthy. There is a simple, clear plan to get wealthy without worry. This book is the blueprint to help you become a Safe Money Millionaire.

• How you could increase your wealth by $700,000 to over $1,000,000 with a safe, simple, predictable blueprint.
• Why the world’s first Billionaire John D. Rockefeller said “If I had to give any advice, it would be to keep out of Wall Street.”
• The Truth about 401(k) taxes and fees that could end up costing you tens of thousands.
• Financial Guru’s Exposed: Does Suze Orman practice what she preaches? Does “Mad Money” Cramer’s advice work?
• How to participate in the ups of the market…without losing a dime during crashes.
• How to “Finance Yourself To Wealth” and reduce or eliminate interest paid to banks and credit card companies.

Q. Thanks for the interview. Can we begin by having you tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you’ve been working in and writing about this topic?
My business partner and I have been in the business for over a decade. We’ve seen the good times of the economy roaring, and we’ve seen these most recently terrible times. We wrote this book because we see so many people losing their life savings when the market drops…and its crushing them. Plus, it’s totally unnecessary.

Q. What’s your new book about? Why did you write it? What main message will readers take away from it?
Our new book is about building your finances on a strong foundation…so when you need your money the most, it’s there for you. The wise man built his house on a rock…so when the rains came it stood strong. Most Americans are on the razors edge financially and when the rains come, it crushes them.

Q. What inspired you to write this book?
Several years ago we both had money in the market, when it dropped we lost a substantial amount of money. It was right during this time that we discovered a better way to grow our wealth so when the market crashes, it won’t hurt. We know so many people don’t know about these principles and that’s why we wrote the book.

Q. What were some of the greatest discoveries, lessons, or findings you came across while doing research and writing this book?
The big ah haa for us was the fact that financial education in this country is actually very very poor. Most people follow pop culture investment advice that really isn’t designed to make them wealthy, it’s designed to keep them in the system. To keep stuffing money into 401(k)’s that aren’t safe, or keep them in debt, because they are looking for ‘low interest rates’ when in reality, they should be adopt a whole new set of ideas about money.

Q. What do you feel sets your book apart from others in the same genre?
Our book is a renegade. It gives a totally different take on finances and actually shows why you may not want to listen to the guru’s on tv or read the  money magazines if you want to make a positive change for your finances.

Q. What are 5 things everyone should know in your area of expertise?
Everyone should know…

1. The first step is to get your house in order. It’s to take a look at your income and make sure you are putting part of it toward building your financial foundation. Even if its just 50 bucks a month.

2. You must have a goal for where you are trying to go. What are you trying to accomplish with your finances? Do you want to retire? Do you want to quit work and do service?

3. If all else fails, do you have  a safety net? If all your dreams of making money don’t come true, will you still have a great life because you’ve been building a safety net?

4. You don’t have to risk your money to grow it. Just because you have a 401(k) it’s not guaranteed against losses, in fact you could lose it all!

5. There’s nothing like going to sleep and night and waking up in the morning knowing you are on the right track financially. It’s better for marriages, families, self esteem, health, and even work. When you have this problem solved in your life, life is good!

Q. What does your typical day look like?
I get to the office, check my email, then shut my door, and write. I write a lot either for our newsletters, next book, blog, or videos. Then I usually end up filming something just about everyday for our businesses, we put out a lot of video, and I’m also interacting with the staff regularly.

Q. If someone were a complete noobie when it comes to the topic of your book, what are some steps they could take to dive in and get more educated in this area. (Besides reading your book of course!)

I would highly recommend checking out the short videos on our site. We know not everyone has time to read a book, but everyone can watch a 5 minute video online. So we’ve created a resource for people to learn what they need to fast.

Q. If you could write 1 Golden Rule to take away from your book, what would it be and why?
It would be to build your financial future on a strong foundation. When the economic rains and storms come you will be fine, if your only savings or investments are in the market or even in real estate, you may lose it all.

Q. What other resources in addition to your book would you recommend to people to learn more about this area?
I would recommend they go to our website and use the tools there, grab a free membership and watch some of the videos we have for you there. It’s full of free information that can help people get started to becoming a safe money millionaire.

Q. What are some of your current projects you’ve been working on in this field?
The biggest is Safe Money Millionaire, we just got the book trailer finished, and are now gearing up for the launch of the book this summer.
