Principles over tactics for long-term success

One of the most common dilemmas facing entrepreneurs today is what comes first: making the money or mastering the mindset to keep it? Much like the age-old "chicken or the egg" riddle, these two pillars of business are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a thriving ecosystem, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one.

Today we look at where you should start in terms of a self-audit, how the three essential skills of money help you identify exactly where you should be pouring your energy based on the current stage of your business, and so much more.

Whether you are a brand-new creator building from scratch, a seasoned pro looking to scale without burnout, or a leader trying to determine why your high revenue isn't translating into profit, this episode will light the way for what to do next!

In this episode you'll hear:

• Jenni's inspiring story of launching her dream membership that was 15 years in the making

• Why I have zero interest in hearing you're "bad at sales" if you aren't willing to put in the 15-minute daily reps

• The profit margin to aim for early on in business, and the specific reason I tell people to avoid in-person hires until they hit $500k

• Why your business will never actually give you financial freedom, and the one thing you must do with your cashflow to actually get it

• My personal philosophy on why money left sitting in a business account is a liability that will always find a way to get spent

• A scary realization that if you have to talk to every lead for an hour to sell a digital course, your business isn't actually scalable

• How to use recurring and renewable revenue models to stop feeling like you're only one bad launch away from your business going under

• Why "getting rich fast" is the literal death of financial freedom, and how to master the habits that actually build a portfolio

• What can help stop you from freaking out over every algorithm change that comes at us
