We both wanted to see that number increase and it was tangible." - Lauren Keys.   "Being financially independent gives you this new perspective. Instead of designing a business around how do I ring the cash register on day one and get people to pay me, it's how do I design a business that creates the life I want. And if it works, well that's great! It's a win-win. And if it doesn't work, that's fine too, because we're good money-wise and we don't need the money anyway." - Steven Keys   "I'm actually buying my freedom. I'm spending my money every month on freedom. That is so much more exciting than the deprivation mindset." - Justin David Carl  Full Show Notes w/ Links to resources: www.fitrichlife.com/podcast/ FIT RICH LIFE NEWSLETTER Get fit, get rich, and live your best life in 10 minutes a week.
