So a couple of my friends and I all like hit six figures within like a 12 month period. And I remember us like talking about like we felt guilty, because it felt so easy. Now, to let me fool you. I think I forgot about all the pain, you know, because I wasn't thinking about it. And I wasn't in the pain. And I
wasn't in the struggles. And I wasn't in all the issues that we deal with to get to that number, right? All the mindset, all the money blocks, all the things that have to do that. But we were like, Why does it feel so easy now. And then it started feeling so we started feeling so guilty because it actually felt easy. Like to, to get there and then to continue to increase our revenue. And I believe in my heart that is truly that breakthrough feeling.
Not that I forget because when anyone is in that headspace or they're in that scarcity, or lack mindset, I go back. And I remember that feeling and I remember it. But it's kind of like the good outweighs the bad, right? Like I there were so many hard moments, but the growth and the journey that I got to go through was all worth it. Right? Even though I don't want to go through that again. And I don't want to experience any of that again, all of it was worth it and having that feeling.
And most people declare six figures when you have 10k months, technically, it's like 8000 Something a month that gets you to six figures. But most people in my industry in the service based industry, they will say 10k months, right? And I'll never forget, and I've said this before, my friend Megan Flanagan, who I just love the pieces. She was somebody I really connected with when I first joined the mastermind that I've been in for four years. And so I I had a call with my one on one
coach at the time. And we I was done and she goes What do you guys talk about? And I was like, Well, we talked about like, you know, hitting, you know, 10k months? And she goes, Okay, what's so special all 10k months? Why natural? Okay, why not? 15k? Why not? 20k. And I was like, You're right, what is so special about 10k months, it's just because everybody else wants to do it, right. And so funny thing is, I never actually hit a 10k month, I went straight to 15.
And it was because of that conversation that I kept saying what is so great about 10 10k Just because everybody else is doing it kind of thing, right? Um, so whatever it looks like for you. And I think that's important too, and not really what this podcast is about. But 10k may not be what you're
striving for, right? Maybe you just want to cover expenses, maybe you just want to pay off bills, maybe you just want to help out, help the family out, whatever it is, like, that's your I'm doing air quotes right now take a month, right? Whatever is whatever that looks like. But the breakthrough feeling is like no other, right? Let's think about every hard thing that we've overcome.
whether we've went after it as a goal, or we did it was something that landed on us or landed for us that we didn't necessarily want to go through. So for example, and 2014 two crazy things happen. Very stressful things happen. My father in law passed away and we were fighting over the state. And also I was being audited by the IRS. okay to not fun things. What do they say Death and Taxes are like the two worst things, and I can honestly tell that's
how I felt. That's how I felt because it was not a fun time at all. In my house. In my business. Like everything was scary. Everything was their city, everything was unknown. There were so many fears wrapped around this right? Like, oh my god, are they going to take everything we have? Oh my god, we didn't know what you were doing. Oh my god, you know, like all these things. And it was a previous business. It wasn't the business I'm at
now. But it was just it was very unknown is very scary, right? And although coming out of it owing money, yes, because they're gonna find something coming out of it owing money, it was like, Okay, we just make payments, right? It's not the end of the world. It sucks. But we just make payments. Like, that's what you do. And, you know, obviously, you know, fighting over an estate is something that isn't fun,
either. But we ended up working it out right, and still had to pay a lot of money, because that's what you do when you get attorneys involved. But at the end of the day, it ended. It ended better than it could have. Could it have happened better, even better, possibly. But we ended in a good place. And that was the most important thing. You know, all these things that I've went through, going through, not believing in myself believing that I deserve things that I didn't necessarily
deserve. And I don't even know if that's the right way to say it. Not necessarily deserve but that I did, I wasn't ready for I wasn't ready to handle, I wouldn't have the capacity. I didn't have the energy. I but I in my head. I thought I did, right? Because it's just like on the playground, you want to be picked for everything, right?
Nobody wants to be rejected. And so as I look back at all of those things that I have overcome, right, and the breakthroughs that I've had, obviously, don't want to repeat them. But I didn't die. I made it through. I learned from it. And you know what else, if anybody else is ever going through that, I can be a support system for them, I can help them, I can walk them through it. I can give them hope that it's not the end of the world, that better things are coming. And sometimes we don't see it
that way in the moment. But being able to see people go through all the things that I went through, right, like all the pains, all the fears, all the troubles all the owing big chunks of money, right? We we got through it, and other people besides me have gotten through it. And knowing that you can get through like right now in this moment listening to this podcast, I don't know who says the quote, but you have 100% made it through all your worst
days. You have 100% made it all through your worst scenarios, you have 100% made it through now. Maybe you just barely made it through. Maybe you didn't make it through the way you wanted to make it through. But you are here alive listening to this podcast right now. So you made it through whether it was a result that you want it totally different story, right? But you made it through, you grew from it. And if you look back deep enough, you will learn something from it too.
I learned a lot of things getting audited. Don't mix business and personal accounts, because it just gives them permission to go into your personal account. Right? Obviously, make sure that you're very adamant about all income. If somebody writes you a check in your personal account for your birthday, make sure it says birthday on it so that they don't think that's additional revenue for your business. Like all these things I learned, right? I had no idea going in. We didn't keep receipts for
everything. I know that now. Like I've learned a lot. And the only way I would have learned that would have been to go through the way I did or somebody to teach me. But if somebody told me you should be doing this, you should be doing that. What I've listened as much as if I had to go through what I had to go through and had to experience it. Probably not. Probably not. But now that I know, right? I know. I have an accountant took way too long to get one of
those. Because I went through all these I went through major anxiety every time I had to do my taxes every single time I do a taxes I had probably lost 10 years of my life every time I did my taxes until I got an accountant because it was so stressful. And I still have fears around that like that I get to work on right. Anytime anything comes in the mail from the IRS, I get anxiety and like what is oh my god what
happened now, right? But I also know that staying in abundance that staying in the belief that I all my i's are dotted and my T's are crossed, right. I'm doing the right things. I am paying somebody to support me with this. I know that if I get in the situation again It's good to be nowhere like it was last time because I'm at least prepared, right? I don't want it to happen. But I'm prepared, I have an account that will be there right by my side. And we'll make it through.
And so when you think about your breakthroughs, when you think about the things you've gone through, you don't probably want to deal with them again. But if you had to, you got this my friend, because you made it through it once, right? You can do it again, you may not want to do it again. But you can do it again. And you can reflect what, what did I do? Or what should I have done better? And what could I have done better? What shouldn't I have done? Like, what did I do
that I shouldn't have done? You have that knowledge, now you have that education, that real life experience. And that is priceless. And, again, maybe it's not something you're wanting to we don't none of us want to go through break downs, none of us want to go through failures, none of us want to go through any of those things. But it is part of life. And we will, we will be disappointed. But it's how are you going to bounce back.
And the thing that I have learned more than anything is fill the fields filled the emotions, but no, and be in abundance. And it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. You're gonna make it through, you're gonna grow through it, you're gonna learn from it. And whether you want to be or not, you're going to be an expert. In that situation, because of your experience going through it, and you could help other people. This business journey, Life is
not easy. Life is not easy. But having the knowledge, having the feelings, having the experience and knowing, am I lowest lows, I've made it through 100% of the time, gives me hope that anything that comes to me, whether it's a recession, or economy, or less revenue, or whatever, they will make it through. I believe that for myself, and I believe that for you. You have made it through 100% of your worst case, you are here, right now.
Put that on your phone, your lock screen, put that on something, actually, you know what I'm gonna, I'm gonna like literally make you a lock screen, I'm dropping it in a Canva template, I'm gonna drop it in the show notes. Grab that lock screen, show me tag me. Because you've made it through 100% of your worst days. And that means you're gonna make it through the day, you're gonna make it through tomorrow, and you're gonna make it through next weeks, whatever happens.
And that gives you hope. And when we have hope there's will. And when we have a Will we take action. And when we take action, we're in motion. And when we're in motion, things don't seem as bad because we're doing something about it. We're not sitting on a what is it? The worry is like a rocking chair. And we're rocking back and forth. And we don't get anywhere, right. And I think some I think it's Rob dial said this, and I don't know where he
got the data from. But a percent of the things that you worry about never happen. 80%. And if you're going through something, why do you sit there and keep worrying about it? Because it's happening, right? Take Action, do something about it, move forward, cry about it, then put your big girl panties up and move forward. And that's what I love about us. We're all resilient. We're all motivated. We all know how to take action. We just have to pick ourselves
up to do the thing. So that we can feel that breakthrough feeling. Knowing that life is ebbs and flows, and we'll probably feel the breakdown again. But how long we stay in breakdown mode, how long we stay in failure face plants, flops mode is totally up to us. Feel the feels, work through it. You've got this my friend. And I'm always here.
