Conquer your debt workshop

Does personal and/or business debt keep you up at night?

If you have the resolve to tackle the challenge but don’t know where to turn, the NMC Small Business Development Center, Saipan Chamber of Commerce, and USDA Rural Development Program have the answer for you.

On Thursday, May 25 at the Annex Room in the Pacific Islands Club, Dr. Ken Shankweiler, President of The Debt Busters Company, will deliver his critically acclaimed Debt Free workshop.

At a recent Debt Free workshop on the U.S. mainland, an AT&T executive commented, “This is an excellent workshop that taught me how to get out of debt and retire financially sound. Dr. Shankweiler did a nice job, was positive and kept my interest.”

Debt Free is designed to reach out into the community and target the general public and small business owners that want to live a debt-free, stress-free lifestyle that can lead to financial independence. The workshop will provide attendees the knowledge they need to pay off their credit cards, car payments and alike in 1-3 years, and then pay off a mortgage in another three to four years, saving over $100,000 in interest payments along the way. This can all be done on current income? This method is based on specific powerful and proven strategies that work every single time.

Dr. Shankweiler will encourage attendees to eliminate all debt and then to operate 100% on cash, never needing credit ever again. Participants are encouraged to bring a pocket calculator, list of personal and/or business debts with balances and monthly payments and during class develop their own debt elimination plan that can be implemented immediately into one’s lifestyle.

Dr. Shankweiler holds degrees in Psychology and Engineering and has spent 30 years in management. He has held titles of Vice President, General Manager and Director of Engineering. He is the former “Chairman of Continuous Improvement” for a $4 Billion Dollar Fortune 500 company. He is listed in “Who’s Who of International
Business Managers” and in addition to running The Debt Busters, Inc., serves on the Board of Directors of Junior Achievement.
