"The Wise Investor" Author Explains How "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Meets "The Alchemist

“That was their dream back then – going places. Traveling the world. Now, twelve years later, he was forced to admit that they hadn’t gone anywhere.” - excerpt from “The Wise Investor”

If you’ve longed to improve yourself, to reach greater heights, to have more freedom and more money to pay for it all, this book is for you. “The Wise Investor: A Modern Parable About Creating Financial Freedom and Living Your Best Life" by Rich Fettke is an inspiring parable about building what author Rich calls Real Wealth. It tells the story of Ryan Brooks, a husband, father, and hard-working employee who, with the help of a new friend and mentor, finds a different path to financial security for himself and his family and becomes wealthy in more ways than he thought possible.

In this episode, Rich joins his wife, Kathy on The Real Wealth Show, to talk about his new book -- why he wrote it, what it might teach you, why it’s so powerful yet so much fun to read, and what it could potentially do to change your life.

Rich oversees the business development at RealWealth. He is passionate about developing the RealWealth team and systems, and is always looking for new ways to bring good people into the RealWealth family. As a licensed real estate broker, experienced investor and Master Certified Business Coach, Rich specializes in helping the team stay aligned and inspired to fulfill the company’s purpose, mission and values.

Twenty years ago, he wrote “Extreme Success.” His latest inspiration is a new book and the topic of this episode: “The Wise Investor: A Modern Parable About Creating Financial Freedom and Living Your Best Life." The kindle book is available now at Amazon. The hard cover and audio versions can be pre-ordered and will be available in late August.

TRANSCRIPT

Kathy Fettke: I'm very excited to interview today's guest on The Real Wealth Show. He is a best-selling author with a new book called "The Wise Investor." And this has come out almost 20 years since his last bestseller called "Extreme Success." I actually know a lot about this book already because the author is my husband Rich Fettke. Rich, welcome back to The Real Wealth Show.

Rich Fettke: Thank you, Kathy Fettke. Good to be here.

K: A lot of our listeners know who you are, but we have lots of new listeners. So I'm just going to give a little bio on you. You're a master certified coach from the Coach Training Institute.

He has coached people in business and in their personal life for years. He has coached us at RealWealth. He has been our Co-CEO and now CEO of RealWealth and I get to just be a Founder, which is awesome. Thank you for taking all those details off my plate, Rich! And, now he's published a new book called "The Wise Investor."

So let's talk about that. First of all, why did it take so long? It's been 20 years since your last book.

R: Yeah, well, we've been running RealWealth over the last 20 years. 20 years ago, when "Extreme Success" came out, I was touring all over the country and doing morning news shows and radio interviews and books, bookstore signing events, when they used to have bookstores way back then. But then I was diagnosed with melanoma and told I had six months to live, as many of your listeners probably are aware of. That was the impetus for you to say: "I have to find a way to make ends meet if Rich dies so I will learn about real estate investing." And that led to RealWealth being created.

So over the last 20 years, we've been really focused on running RealWealth and growing it and building it and helping members acquire investment properties and educating members. So, it's been my coach kind of knocking on my head saying: "When is your next book gonna come out?"

It wasn't until about four years ago when we started to apply story branding to RealWealth. It comes from Don Miller who wrote a book called "Building a Story Brand." It's all about seeing the customer as the hero of the story and you, the business, being just the guide.
