    Let’s Talk Profit | When $130k Per Year Isn’t Enough

    Imagine pulling in $130,000 a year as a freelancer… And still struggling to make ends meet. Sounds crazy, right? But it’s happening. And I’ll tell you why. The truth? Income is just one piece of the puzzle. If you’re not focused on profit, that big income number means nothing. In the latest episode of 6 Figure Creative, we dive deep into why chasing revenue alone can actually sink your business—and how to flip the focus so that what you keep is actually worth your time.
