I’m on a mission to increase awareness of the global unsustainable macroeconomic forces and help concerned individuals take actions today before an increasingly likely currency crisis occurs. We will soon witness the greatest opportunity ever seen, as countries worldwide realize they need to revert to monetary systems backed by real money (i.e., the gold and silver). People who are acquiring gold and silver beforehand will not only have their wealth preserved and protected when existing fiat currencies collapse, but will see staggering increases in their purchasing power hence profiting from this opportunity.
Where do you get your ideas?
Predictable Monetary Cycle throughout History. Since the beginning of time, when a country deviate from real money such as gold and silver and start printing currencies like we are doing today, a new monetary system is introduced every 30-40 years based on real money again. Paper Currency is a form of money, but itself have no intrinsic value because it is not backed by gold or silver. When governments and central banks around the world practices with irresponsible monetary policies by over printing and deficit spending, this simply debase the value of paper currencies. Hence the transfer of purchase power goes from the common people directly to those in control of the financial system. At the currently rate of global printing, we will see inflation catch up at unprecedented rate as the global paper monetary system collapses under too many debts with insufficient real money (gold and silver) to pay. Eventually, history have shown numerous times, free market will let gold and silver will reevaluate itself to account for all the paper currency the world have ever printed. Just remember, Gold and Silver can never be printed and only finite among of these precious metals are available.
Most people take this subject of money for granted. That is simply dangerous and exactly what our governments and central banks want us to believe in.
Do you ever experience writer’s block and how do you overcome it?
I did come across a few writer’s blocks with respect to how to structure the book during the initial phase. It happened mainly because I had too much information and research to present as organizing into a logical manner and interesting format presents difficultly. I overcame it by identifying the top 15 questions that most people will have with this topic that is relevant to today’s economic landscape and use them as main chapter subjects. Once the chapter subjects are arranged in a logical flow, I would approach each chapter in 1 of 2 ways I’ve learned in graduate school and in practice.
1) Each chapter as its own research paper, contain abstract, objectives, methods, statistics, discussion and conclusion.
2) Each chapter as its own patient, SOAP- Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan.
What advice would you give to aspiring writers on the writing and publishing process?
1. Write something you are interested or have expertise in.
2. Know how you want to publish it.
3. Know your industry.
4. Hire a publicist.
5. Network with similar mindsets.
6. Have a marketing plan.
7. Hire a few editors.
How do you market your work? Have you found some avenues to be more successful than others?
I have started my first book with the mission of educating people on the global unsustainable macroeconomic forces and to help concerned individuals take action today before an increasingly likely currency crisis occurs. Therefore, I have deployed cross channel marketing, combining social media marketing and educational marketing in my pursuit towards knowledge driven investing, resulting in a potentially added value for my readers. Due to my strategic and analytical thinking, I believe that the objectives I have set for my marketing strategy are SMART and will help me transform my first book into a bestseller, emphasizing a successful tactical approach.
If your book was made into a movie, who do you picture playing each part?
I don’t know much about movie and celebrities; hence I cannot envision how my book will be made into a movie. However, I can envision Lisa Ling of National Geographic produce a serious investigation documentary movie and interviewing key political, business and bank leaders regarding the Critical Flaw of our monetary system.
