An exciting financial planning book for future and current baby booming retiree’s who want to get the most out of life.
Bend financial planner David Rosell has just released his first book, Failure is Not an Option, Creating Certainty in The Uncertainty of Retirement, that outlines clear ideas for your investment strategies and planning for your senior years.
Rosell likens successful retirement investment to first climbing a mountain and then Descending Safely, which is necessary to fully enjoy your accomplishment. He says only then can you enjoy the success in your retirement years coming from a sound financial history of wise investment.
Author Rosell describes retirement in chapter one as he explains. “The same can be said for the second half of one’s financial journey. For years, people have focused intensely on accumulating enough assets (i.e. climbing to the top of the mountain).
However the biggest risk facing retirees occurs during the second half of their financial journey, once they retire and begin to live on their retirement savings (i.e. climbing back down the mountain). This is also the phase that requires most of the planning and entails most of the risk. Retirees need to come down the other side safely—no matter what the future brings.”
In reviewing this book Charles Schwab Jr. states that, “If you’re at or near retirement, this is a must read. Failure is Not an Option provides a compass for making the most of the second half of your financial journey. After reading David Rosell’s book, you’ll want to explore all that life has to offer.”
Rosell explains, “Most financial books educate the reader on how to accumulate wealth or how to get out of debt. However few resources teach what to do once you have reached the top, even though you are faced with the unique and potentially devastating risks as you begin the second half of your financial journey.“Currently In this age of financial instability anyone with a diminishing investment portfolio is searching for new ideas.
This book fills that gap. Failure is NotaAn Option lays out the eight fundamental risks every retiree faces during the uncertainty of retirement. In the process it will help the reader achieve what everyone is really after -peace of mind.”
At first one might think that this is just another of the many financial planning books that inundate the market with typical investment ideas that are currently popular. But Rosell has gone two steps further with this insightful book combining life stories of travel, accomplishment, camaraderie and adventure with sound financial principals that resonate with his life’s journeys and his successful financial planning career as owner of Rosell Wealth Management in Bend.
In the current world financial picture there are many questions on how to best manage and preserve ones wealth, all with no guarantees that any one system will work and protect your retirement funds. Rosell explains, “Nothing in life is absolutely certain. What I do know is that in today’s new world economy there is so much doubt in people’s retirement. Failure is Not an Option will help one create more certainty in the uncertainty of retirement.”
Rosell is a world traveler and he has been keeping journals on his travels throughout his life.
He has many stories to share and this is why he has combined the book to be full of his travel and life experiences while sharing his financial knowledge. When asked why he felt a need to write the book Rosell explains, “My life has been shaped by years of international travel and adventure. My book combines my two passions by unexpectedly melding travel stories with important financial lessons.”
As his writing began to take shape Rosell wanted his book to be different than a strict wealth building guide to the future. He wanted the book to be educational and entertaining. He began writing the book blending his travel and life experiences with financial knowledge and says, “My intention was to create a financial planning book that is actually FUN to read while educating the reader with prudent financial lessons.
Each chapter transports the reader on a true life adventure from being one of the privileged to partake in tearing down the Berlin Wall to spending three weeks climbing the infamous peaks of the Nepalese Himalayas that then leads to a profound financial lesson.”
As Rosell progressed through his life he has listened to many mentors and learned some of his life’s lessons from the planets most accomplished and distinguished financial planners, life coaches and personal development trainers.
To create momentum for his new book Rosell personally wrote many of the people who influenced his values and ideas as he grew from an impressionable youth to a successful businessperson.
These motivational speakers authors and financial planners, such as Charles Schwab Jr., Dan Sullivan (president of The Strategic Coach Inc.), Denis Waitley (author Seeds of Greatness) and Roger Dawson (author and Hall of Fame speaker) have all written positive reviews for Rosell’s new book.
However the review I like the best describing the book comes from Gary D. Fish, CEO of Deschutes Brewery Inc.
“Through engaging real-life travelogues and practical advice, David Rosell charts a clear and defined course to successful retirement. Entrepreneurs like me understand that the failure is not an option mantra is a necessary component of survival. David’s book provides the recipe for financial success that we all need to not just survive in retirement, but to thrive. I’ll lift a glass to that.”
