Your revenue may look good on paper, but if your take-home pay doesn't reflect your effort, something's not right.
If that's you, you're not broken—you're trapped in the salary lie. Big revenue, tiny take-home.
Bad advice, such as "reinvest everything" and "keep your pay low to scale," is what probably got you here.
In this episode, we're talking about why, in 2025, just scraping by isn't safe and how it's time to flip the script: your salary isn't what's left over—it's the strategy.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
-
The real cost of just "getting by."
-
What it looks like to use salary as a strategy - not an afterthought.
-
Four practical salary moves for 2025.
-
Busting through myths about salary.
-
How to get started with a salary-first reset.
