Avoid the $100k Months Trap for Entrepreneurs

$100k months is the biggest trap for entrepreneurs.. It sounds sexy and that’s what most business coaches sell you on. ✔ “Hire a team so you can focus on sales!” ✔ “Automate everything and make money while you sleep!” ✔ “Just scale, bro!” My company went from 0 to 7 figures in 22 months but I made a major mistake.. In my stripe account, it looked like I made.. In reality? Some months my employees were taking home more than me🤦‍♂️ I thought scaling meant making as much money as possible because money fixes everything, right? What I failed to realize? Scaling, by definition, means growing revenue and operations WITHOUT proportionally increasing costs. Seeing those $145k months on stripe were a great stroke to my ego but I should have never let my emotions run my decision making… I should have prioritized profitability & control. So before you chase “scale,” you need to first determine if you’re actually profitable now, And how can you sustain that so if any volatility in the market happens.. (Which it will) You need a real system that you can depend as opposed to just working your ass off to get as much cash in as possible. Most people chase a 7-figure business because it’s the ultimate “Humble brag” you can add to your linked in profile.. Few do it because their business is actually ready. You don’t need a bigger business.. You need a better one.
