The numbers alone never tell the full story. Behind every milestone month in business lies a tapestry of decisions, priorities, and unexpected moments that shape not just the revenue, but the person creating it.
September 2025 marked my highest revenue month in business at $82,000 - the exact monthly amount that annualizes to a million-dollar cash year. This wasn't about grinding harder or sacrificing everything at the altar of success. Instead, this month included 75 miles of running, international travel with my kids, masterminding in Denver, receiving awards on stage, and forgetting picture day at school. The month that changed everything financially was also the month I lived out of laundry baskets and let my plants die.
Listen in this week to hear the exact breakdown of my $82K month. Whether you're aiming for your first $5K month or your first $100K month, this episode will show you what's possible when you approach growth from a place of alignment rather than force.
