    About this ebook

    The Coach: Winning at Personal Finance is a simple yet powerful and beneficial book for those wanting to improve their personal and family finances. It is densely packed with fundamental defensive money management techniques, including establishing the all-important emergency fund, eliminating debt, and preparing for retirement by becoming financially independent. These money-management techniques, along with eight others, are shared by the Coach, David G. Giese. The educational process used by David aligns the eleven proven financial techniques with each of the eleven defensive positions on a football field. The theme in the book is that wealth is achieved by what you save and invest, not by what you earn.

    Though money management is complex, lets remind ourselves of some basics of the topic. David believes that we all want two things when it comes to money. One, we want to enjoy today, our lifestyle, and the things money can purchase. Two, we know someday we want to stop earning and have enough money to carry us throughout retirement. The interesting challenge about those two universal desires is that one objective pulls from the other. Therein lies the challenge.

    The keys to successfully navigating those two desires around money are balance, discipline, and fundamental money-management techniques that David shares in this book.

    To have money for our future, we have to save some today. Thus, we have to spend less than we earn. Invest in this book and learn how you can achieve both a pleasant lifestyle today as well as financial independence in your future.

    David G. Giese

    At eighteen, David G. Giese was introduced to his first book on the subject of personal development and the concept that you do not have to be sick to get better. After this brief introduction to personal development, he took some of the basic concepts and utilized them while earning his college degree. Though only an average student in high school and challenged with a learning disability, he graduated from college in four years with honors and earned the business school’s top management student honors. His professional, high-tech career includes seventeen years at IBM and fourteen years at Dell in many roles, including twenty-five years total in management and leadership positions. He is a loving husband of over thirty years; a proud father of two Aggie sons; and a picture of health, participating in sprint triathlons for over twenty-four years. David became a certified life coach and opened his coaching business in 2006, positioning himself to pursue his passion of helping others reach their goals and objectives through the development and practice of fundamental skills.
