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. If you keep focusing on ‘I’m stuck’, your brain goes ‘OK’ and keeps you in that stuck state.

3. 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.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

Ramit, author of the New York Times bestseller I Will Teach You To Be Rich and has become a financial guru to millions of readers in their twenties, thirties, and forties. He started his website, iwillteachyoutoberich.com as a Stanford undergraduate in 2004, and he now hosts over a million readers per month on his blog, newsletter, and social media.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Use psychology against yourself. There are so many areas in life where we think we should do something, yet if you’ll look at your behavior, you’re probably not doing it.

2. The key is to stop waiting for the perfect idea and just look around at what’s going on. People who are successful entrepreneurs know how to seize opportunities.

3. Money is typically a thing of guilt and anxiety. Reframe the way you think about money.
