Key quotes:

“I think that what made a huge difference was being on the same page about it. 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
