Episode 08: Why you shouldn't have a million dollar business
In this episode, I’m unpacking the pressure so many business owners feel to scale to a million dollars — and why that goal might not be right for you.
We’re talking about the difference between profit and revenue, what it really takes to scale sustainably, and why your business goals should reflect your lifestyle, values, and version of success — not someone else’s. If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing a goal that doesn’t even feel good anymore, this episode is your permission to pause and redefine success on your own terms.
We cover: – Why the million-dollar business goal is often externally driven – How to define success on your own terms – The critical difference between revenue and profit – Why financial literacy is essential for sustainable business – The real cost of scaling (stress, lifestyle changes, and infrastructure) – The power of systems, automation, and team when growing – Why lean, simple business models can be the most powerful – Aligning your goals with your values, not just industry expectations
