Here’s how I did it ⤵️ But 1st save this post for later 💾 so you can use it on days you feel like giving up. Alright here are the 3 steps: 1) I DECIDED TO BE MORE EFFICIENT WITH MY TIME Making the decision that I was going to run a 6-figure business part time, meant that I had to be significantly more efficient than the average planner. I realized that I could get the same work done in 3-4 hour days that took others 8-10 hours. This allowed me to hit six figures BEFORE leaving my day job so I had a soft landing. (Many of my @plannerswhoprofit clients have done the same) Lesson #1: You don’t need more time, you need a better process. 2) I UNDERSTOOD MY NUMBERS. I took the time to keep a personal budget, which revealed that on average, I need 5K/month in living expenses. Then, I tracked and forecasted my income so I could decide on a FIXED monthly salary for myself (after taxes + expenses) that remained constant for 6-12 months. I gave myself a raise until I exceeded what my day job was paying and then left when I was ready. Lesson #2: You don’t have to wait to get fired/laid off to figure out your business finances. You actually give yourself options by doing it early. 3) I INVESTED IN MYSELF & MY BUSINESS After a few years, I realized that I wasn’t getting any extra credit or extra pay for doing everything manually or figuring things out myself. If anything, I was losing time that could be spent serving more clients. So I invested in tools that made life easier and intensives that could shorten my learning curve. Lesson #3- invest in yourself to fast-track your growth. Ready to learn the behind the scenes of each of these steps?
