One of Ohio’s Top Business Tax Reduction Consultants, Ken Byers, Co-Authors New Book on How to Avoid Costly Retirement Mistakes

PR Newswire

CINCINNATI, Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Building a successful, closely held business is one thing. Successfully preserving, protecting and passing on that wealth is another, according to Ken Byers, ChFC^®, AEP^®, CLU^®, Co-Author of the book, "Retire Abundantly."

Business owners will gain wisdom, principles and practical advice on how to enjoy a great retirement and leave a lasting legacy.

Byers shares, "Only three percent of all Americans have been able to accumulate one million dollars or more, which makes that group extraordinary, and many of those are closely-held business owners. Most don't understand that building a successful business is not the same as getting the money out of the business. We are on a mission to show first generation closely-held business owners how to move money out of their business on a tax preferred basis."

Successful business owners with accumulated wealth face little-known mistakes and missteps that can prove very costly. Lack of understanding can derail the retirement lifestyle that many have come to expect, as well as spoil their best-laid plans for a legacy.

"Closely-held business owners face very different tax, wealth and retirement obstacles than the average population. As a result of popular myths about money and wealth, many are unaware of very expensive mistakes they are making today, even those with a team of well-meaning advisors," continues Byers.

For example, Byers says, running afoul of IRS retirement account rules can cost a bundle and many are unaware of the impact. The IRS levied over half a billion dollars in fines in just a two-year period for missed retirement plan withdrawals and contributions that break their rules.

The easy-to-read book is not laden with theory or jargon. Rather it is filled with practical principles and actual examples. It begins by exposing how and why the financial planning industry, and many financial advisors, have left many people confused. It goes on to expose common misconceptions that popular financial media, TV shows and internet sites have led most people to believe.

Another interesting and informative feature of the book is its collection of real-life stories of failure and success sprinkled throughout. The book ends by showing readers how to take the next step for making informed decisions about retirement planning and legacy goals.

Ken Byers continues, "We are on a mission to help first generation business owners how to preserve, protect, and pass on their hard earned business wealth, while enjoying more freedom. That's why I want people to read this book."
