Breaking Down My Revenue Streams (Real Numbers)
I believe in multiple aligned income streams — here's the breakdown of what makes up nearly half a million in revenue this year:
1. Consulting + Thought Leadership
💸 $175,000/year
I consult with companies and speak at events. This is not hourly coaching — it's strategic advisory work, often high-ticket, structured around value not time.
Why it works: I’ve built brand authority and relationships. This lets me command premium rates without being on calls all day.
2. Courses, Memberships & Digital Products
💸 $255,000/year
This includes:
Smart Girls Mastermind
Out of Office Club
The Unschool
Instagram to Income
Smart Girls AI Playbook
This is the core of my scalable revenue. Much of it is automated through digital funnels, which means I make sales while I sleep.
3. Ad Revenue
💸 Passive trickle
Comes from the blog I started 10 years ago. It’s not a focus anymore, but a few strong-performing posts still bring in residual dollars.
Note: With the rise of AI, I don’t recommend focusing only on blogs now unless you truly love long-form writing.
4. Brand Partnerships
💸 Selective and strategic
I say “no” more than I say “yes.” Brands like Flowdesk are a great match because we align on audience + values.
5. Retreats
💸 Nourishing, not scaling
Retreats don’t generate huge profits, but they deepen community. I host them for the connection, not conversion.
Let’s Talk Expenses:
Transparency is power. Here's where the money goes:
Payroll: I pay myself.
This is my full-time business. I’m on payroll. I don’t take all the revenue home — I get a salary, just like any CEO would.
Contractors:
Marketing & sales strategist
Virtual assistant
Community manager
Freelance design + tech support
Software: Roughly $10,000/year
Think: Zoom, Flowdesk, Canva, Notion, School, Voxer, ManyChat, etc.
Coaching + Training:
$10K+ this year in coaching and business events like Create & Cultivate.
CPA, Bookkeeper, Fractional CFO:
Crucial support for planning, taxes, and managing financial health.
📊 P&L Tips for Creative Entrepreneurs
Your Profit & Loss Statement (P&L) is your best business mirror. If you’re just starting out:
Track your sales, expenses, and profit monthly
Separate business and personal expenses
Open a business bank account
Pay yourself — even a little, regularly
If you’re not quite ready to hire a bookkeeper, start with a spreadsheet or tool like Notion. I did this for two years before outsourcing.
The Business Model I Recommend for Intuitive Entrepreneurs
There’s more than one way to hit half a million — but here's what’s worked for me and what I guide my clients through:
1. Start with 1:1 Work
It’s the best way to refine your offer and learn your people.
You’ll gain:
Real-time feedback
Language your clients use
Patterns in what people want (and will pay for)
Eventually, it becomes time-bound. That’s when you evolve.
2. Add Consulting or Speaking
Think: strategic advisory, not hands-on implementation.
Leverage your thought leadership with organizations or brands. It pays well and builds authority.
3. Launch Group Experiences
This is where scale meets connection.
Smart Girls Mastermind = done-with-you support
Out of Office Club = community-first, low-ticket entry
With the right offer structure, group coaching allows you to support more people in less time — and build deep community around your brand.
4. Add Digital Products
Your automated income engine.
These include:
Courses
Toolkits
Swipe files
Playbooks
Once the funnel is dialed in? You’re selling every day without starting from scratch.
