Author Kembala Evans on Her NEW Book: 'Get Your Money Right!"


I'm so excited to bring to you my fellow #FINCON pal and financial coach, Kembala Evans, the author of 'Get Your Money Right: The 7 Keys to Unlocking a Better Financial Future!'  Kembala's passion was evident as we shared our experiences as finance professionals and I knew she'd be a great guest for the #MoneyChat family. Enjoy our interview below and be sure to purchase the book at www.kembalaevans.com or on Amazon.com

Why did you write Get Your Money Right: The 7 Keys to Unlocking a Better Financial Future?
I wrote Get Your Money Right to help everyday people turn their finances around. As a financial coach and former banker, I’ve witnessed the challenges many people face managing their money. Especially when you’re trying to make it on less and everyday cost keep rising. There is a need to teach people about personal finance in a simpler, less intimidating and more meaningful way. I wrote my book to do just that. 


You mentioned your financial coaching and banking experience. Will you tell us more about your experience?
Yes, I have over 14 years experience as a financial coachhelping people achieve goals they never thought possible. I spent a few years working as a personal banking specialist. I also have nearly 12 years of business consulting experience at a leading consulting company, where I worked with Fortune 500 clients to improve their business performance. As a consulting senior manager, I held a number of executive positions and managed multi-million dollar projects/programs. But I left consulting to pursue my passion for helping everyday people improve their finances.

What makes Get Your Money Right different than other personal finance books?
Get Your Money Right simplifies the most important financial principles that can make the biggest difference in your life. It’s written in everyday language and breaks down each principle in an easy to understand and inspiring manner.

And it’s written from the heart. As a financial coach, I know behavior plays a large role in how we handle our money. So with that in mind, I used many of my financial coaching techniques to inspire readers to change. My book takes you back to the basics and focuses on the financial areas people struggle with the most. It has a positive message and includes real life success stories, words of wisdom and practical tips you can put into action now for a better tomorrow.

Who should read Get Your Money Right?
I recommend Get Your Money Right for people who are tired of living paycheck to paycheck, who need a money makeover or who want to learn the secrets of how the rich, stay rich.

What do you believe is the biggest issue people encounter after they decide to improve their finances?
They don’t know what to do or where to start. That’s where building the knowledge and finding a support system (e.g. financial coaching/counseling, mentor) can really help. If this is you Get Your Money Right shows you how to take control, eliminate debt, save money and more. Best of all, it’s an easy read, uplifting and packed with practical tips and information.

What can people learn from Get Your Money Right and put into action now?
There are many things people can learn and put into action now. In fact, every key gives readers an interactive experience. For example, in Key #2 Establish Your Vision and Goals readers discover how to create a vision and set goals. This key provides inspiring success stories, real life examples, and a step-by-step process to create your vision and goals. It also gives you useful tips to make your goals a reality.
