Instead of trying to accumulate as much as I could like a little squirrel and getting this big number that I would then just whittle down over the years in retirement. I really wanted to buy assets that would pay me over time, and create that passive income.” - Ryan Daigle “Just because I did something once, doesn’t mean I have to put a system or a process in place. You need to do it a few times before you can actually identify what are the parts of that process that are useful and valuable to systematize.” - Ryan DaigleResources Mentioned:Flywheel EquityConnect with Ryan, visit https://flywheeleq.com/.
