Now, James Altucher is a successful entrepreneur, angel investor, chess master, and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of "Choose Yourself." You can find his best and most controversial advice in The Altucher Report, which provides you with James' personal research in business, finance, and entrepreneurship.

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Around 95 percent of success hinges on executing that idea well. The idea contributes only about 5 percent to startups and endeavors, while most of the outcome is determined by effective execution.
2. Pricing is vital for subscriptions, whether in your business or as an angel investor in others. The Choice Factory book is a great resource.
3. Reducing churn is crucial, perhaps even more than pricing. To lower churn, start by offering a fantastic product that engages users.

Devan Kline, former San Francisco Giants Player turned Co-Founder and Visionary of Burn Boot Camp and Burn Media Co. Burn is one of the fastest growing franchises in the US.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. The phrase “Eat dirt” means that you have to be willing to make sacrifices. It's sacrifice on your time, on your leisure, on the activities that you might want to do in your younger years.
2. When you have no resources, no mentors, no people. You can lean on books everyday, conversations, being curious, asking the right questions, reaching out to people that you think can teach you something, going on the offense and going to seek that mentorship.
3. Entrepreneurship was all about the craft of training, personal training, inspiring, empowering, transforming people's lives from the inside out, delivering them more value than anybody else could in your sector.

Greg Atkinson is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, leadership and life coach, consultant, and member of the Forbes Coaching Council. His newest book is The Secret Power of Kindness.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. When we are unified in the goal, in the vision and the mission of how we are going to treat one another with respect and kindness and we're going to treat our customers with respect and kindness, then the sky's the limit. Who knows how successful we can be, but it starts with unity.
2. Try to create kindness in the workplace and to have a healthy culture.
3. When we remain composed and stay calm, we are often better able to be heard and understood. When we respond in a kind way. We gain a better audience, somebody that will listen to us because we diffuse the situation.

Her vision is to raise the vibration of humanity through helping people consciously create freedom, joy and abundance through sharing the secrets of how to tap into the frequency of Infinite Receiving.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Infinite receiving is about knowing that you’re feeling full from the inside out. So, it's feeling good about yourself, it's knowing that you are whole, you are enough and you are complete from the inside out.
2. If every individual understood Infinite Receiving, and knew that it would change the fabric of society, there would be less racism, there would be less fighting, there would be less war.
3. Often, we grow up with an idea of what success looks like based on what our teachers have told us, what our caregivers have told us, what our parents have told us. It's not what we really desire.

Ben Jacobs worked at successful tech start-ups: Jet.com, Bird Scooters, and Salted. He has run a successful e-Commerce drinking game side-hustle biz. He left his full-time job to build new retail e-Comm venture.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Get out there and do it.
2. It takes years, a lot of mistakes, and a lot of time. Things don’t happen at the speed you wanted them to. Having an awesome co-founder, a buddy that you can stick through laughter and horrible times with, it makes it all worth it in the end.
3. Life is a constant battle between what’s good for you now and what’s good for you down the road.
