I need to retire in seven years and I currently have zero dollars in savings.

What do I do?

That's a real question I got from a listener called Vicki.

Vicki is 53 years old, former accountant, empty nester.

She's smart, she's capable, she's disciplined, but she's starting late.

And when most people hear that, the advice that comes fast and brutal all over the internet is it's too late. Just lower your expectations. Be realistic. Is this even possible? Yes, it is possible. I know because I did it. And if I wanted to retire today, I could because I followed a very specific five-step plan that I'm going to share with you today.

Now, I've got to warn you, this plan is not popular with cautious traditional thinkers.

It's not going to win you any applause from most of your friends and family

who believe that retirement only comes after, like, working hard for 40 years and sacrificing everything.

If you're starting late, saving harder and skipping lattes won't save you. The only way

is something most people never consider, building an asset you can sell. Let me show you how.

Welcome back to the $100 MBA show.

I'm your host, Omar Zen Home, where I deliver practical business lessons three times a week,

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to help you start, grow, and scale your business.

I got a quick favorite to ask.

If this show has helped you in any way, leave me a quick review.

You could do so wherever you listen to podcasts. This helps me and my team reach even more people

who need the same no-fluff practical business advice that you're getting from the show.

It only takes a few seconds, but it makes a huge difference. Thanks for being a part of our journey

to help others on their journey.

Step one of five steps is build an asset.

Not another job.
