Everyone wants to be able to retire comfortably and to achieve financial freedom, but a lot of people think that building wealth is an impossible task. They feel stuck in their 9-to-5. But as I said in Episode 99, you can break free of this and be successful. To take a deeper dive into this subject, and to discuss a formula for achieving this goal, I talk in this episode with wealth strategist and Marine Corps veteran Edgar Zavala, on how he did it himself and teaches others to do the same. In this episode you will learn: The biggest myth that people believe about building wealth? The first step to breaking free of the paycheck to paycheck cycle The 5F Formula for Success
