Today I'm sharing an interview that was originally published on The Screw The Nine to Five Podcast, where I chatted with Josh & Jill Stanton about how to keep the money you make. Josh and Jill are the co-founders of Screw The Nine To Five — their slice of the Internet where they help transform unsatisfied employees into dangerously-successful entrepreneurs. When they're not CEO'ing they can be found traveling the world with their little guy, Kai, laughing at pug memes, or indulging in a tall glass of something stiff. Top 3 Value Bombs: 1. Always keep an eye on your bottom line — how much money do you actually keep at the end of the day? 2. Make sure that every dollar that's being spent and received is meaningful. 3. You must have a system in place to make sure that the ROI is working in every part of your business.

John is one of the leading mindset and behavioral experts in the world. Top 3 Value Bombs: 1. We don't sabotage ourselves. Our brain sabotages us. 2.

We resist change not because we don't want to grow, but because when the brain is experiencing change, it has mechanisms just like a thermostat that keeps the room temperature constant.
