Featured Interview With Author Patrick Kowalski
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
A bit about myself and our family. The struggle for the family was 100% present in the early years. The process of financial progression I witnessed was definitely a sequence of painful financial moves aimed at always improving the family income, starting from literally nothing.
Born to 2 Polish parents, who immigrated to Thunder Bay, Canada in 1982, Patrick Kowalski's upbringing was mostly in the city of London, Canada, a city that lies about halfway between Detroit, United States and Toronto, Canada. His two freshly immigrated parents came to Canada with nothing but sponsorship, and not even knowing the English language. Within a year of working multiple jobs in Thunder Bay, they saved money while learning the language through English courses and they then chose to relocate to London for Patrick's mother to take up nursing training.
The little bit of savings put away every month were eventually enough after a couple of years for the two of them to buy 2 businesses simultaneously. Two cleaning businesses.
One parent evolved into a working nurse, and Patrick's father evolved to business owner and property investor. These hardworking 1st generation parents were influencers in Patrick's life. They encouraged him to get an education and to get a good paying job as a base to always fall back on. This took Patrick down a technical path of engineering in the robotics field.
By a similar approach of working a few years while also having flipped a couple homes, he was able to take capital funds toward investing a little more seriously on his own.
Patrick had been living for some time in the cute and picturesque town of Port Dover, Ontario when he had finished setting up a successful replacement for his former job. Since then, he has continued the passions of drumming, riding motorcycles in his free time, and water sports.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
As a young child, I got first hooked hard into books and late night reading because of the child horror series Goosebumps in the 1990's. These days, the fiction books I read are typically in Polish, specifically so I can practise my home language, which is somewhat challenging to maintain while living in English speaking lands. The fun part in that is as a grown adult I realized I had so many gaps in my vocabulary, that even at the age of over 30, I had to go back to grade 4 books to help fill in vocabulary gaps before coming back to the young adult books!
This novel, which will be a part of investing series is meant to be a way to provide a step by step roadmap on exactly the steps to do. It took over 6 months of writing and numerous edits, but is my first official publication.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
On the business side of my life, my life's business directions have been not only shaped by my parents, but also by the podcasts and books from a couple of well known financial gurus Robert Kiyosaki, and Dan Lok. They teach sound financial concepts on earning money, and what to invest in. You will find their teachings align with my book series.
Within the realm of fictional works, based on story lines and my own personal interests, Eve Jagger has to be my favorite author lately. This latest series that I've been reading is coincidentally about an entrepreneur but the series is a bit more of a steamy adult version! The series is called Sexy Bastard, whose main character Cash is a boxer figure who starts and operates several nightclubs, with secret underground fights. As he opens and operates these nightclubs, he has a few steamy romances while navigating his businesses and also unravelling love at the same time. Quite relatable for an unmarried entrepreneurial man!
Tell us a little about your latest book?
How did this book come about? It started with a nagging, growing pain point. A fear really. What happens if I lose my job, how long until I find my next one? Holding on to savings was an uncertainty. Will I have enough savings to tie me over or will my savings get murdered?
Have you ever felt, or do you ever feel that your monthly income needs a boost just to help make ends meet? Or to have some extra to save for something special? Have you ever wanted to be able to ditch behind the regular job? Or at least have that OPTION to? This book will give you the power to have another source of income, to have machines working for you, providing either a supplemental income, or replacing all your income, all while you go about your day doing other things. After you read and digest this book, you will have the power to setup these cash flows just by talking to people. WHEREVER there is a need for cash, YOU can get paid for people using your cash machine there. This knowledge, truly is power. Put YOU in control of your finances.
In my search to setup additional cash flows, I was looking for something that could be maintained, and grown in my spare time. Something that has that flexibility. And WITHOUT crazy insane learning curve or insane technical knowledge needed.
Through the knowledge outlined in this book, you will have all the years of industry experience plus the 6 months time it took me to write this book, in one complete resource you need to confidently grow your income. The 8 Checkpoint roadmap, numerous websites and dealers for various equipment, where to find locations, sample contracts and even the contact who will be your frontline troubleshooter in case anything technical should go wrong, and SO much more. Without this book, it's not easy to navigate setting up this business! With this book, you can do it. You will be the next one leaving words of praise as people will be using your cash machines, and YOU be the one getting paid month after month for the amenity. By implementing and developing this income, you take off the dependency off a single employer and their paycheck. Now, doesn't that sound comforting and reassuring?
