The 401(k) Wake-Up Call Helps Readers Avoid Costly Mistakes and Create Stronger Retirements

ATLANTA, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A newly published personal finance book, "The 401(k) Wake-Up Call: Critical Mistakes and the Plan to Fix Them," offers practical strategies to help everyday investors steer clear of common 401(k) mistakes and build the retirement they deserve.

Co-authors Brad Ball and Victor Wilkerson, founder and president of Bison Wealth, wanted to create an easy-to-follow resource for anyone that may be missing out on a more robust retirement by keeping their employer-sponsored plan on autopilot.

"The 401(k) Wake Up Call" presents hard evidence that a "set it and forget it" mindset may come at a significant cost. The book outlines how seemingly small decisions such as relying solely on your employer's default funds can have a lasting impact on retirement outcomes.

After just one sitting, readers should have clear next steps for optimizing their retirement accounts and accessing broader investment opportunities without leaving their employer-sponsored plan.

"Too many hard-working Americans set up their most important financial asset and ignore it," said Ball. "The best time to change that approach is long before retirement – because the compounding clock is always running."

"The 401(k) Wake-Up Call" is now available for purchase on Amazon in paperback or digital download.
