#15 When I STOPPED treating my business like a hobby and shifted into a multi-6-figure CEO
Jul 18, 2023Struggling to Break Through: My Journey from Hobby to multi-6-figure CEO
For the first six years of my business, I was stuck. Despite my efforts, I couldn't surpass $35k in revenue. I was running my business more like a hobby, lacking consistency and accountability. I didn't take charge of my finances, avoiding my bank account and revenue figures. I even stopped myself from celebrating any progress, feeling like I should be further ahead.
To make matters worse, I was given advice to limit my revenue to avoid tax obligations, which contradicted my desire for growth. It was clear that I needed to change my approach and step into the role of a CEO.
I realized that I couldn't continue with my in-and-out energy and neglecting my finances. I made a commitment to manage my money like a true CEO. By creating non-negotiable habits in my schedule and taking responsibility for my business, I was able to transform it into a thriving operation.
The reality hit me: as my team grew, so did my financial responsibilities. I needed to learn how to manage my money effectively, not just for myself but for everyone on my team. With this newfound understanding, I was able to build not one, but two multi-six-figure businesses.
I believe that managing your money is key to empowerment in both business and life. That's why I'm excited to share my journey and the lessons I've learned in my upcoming Money Magnetism Program starting on July 18th. Join me as I dive into the habits, strategies, and mindset shifts that helped me 4X my team, my growth, and my revenue.
If I can do it, You can do it too x
