The Biggest Mistake I Made My First $250k+ Year (and what it cost me)

January 17, 2025 by admin

The first year I made more than $250k was in 2022 - and I hit $365k.

My business was thriving. I’d been fully booked for over four years at that point, I crossed a million in lifetime revenue, and I was paying myself multi-six-figures from a 1:1-only model.

AND… I also made one of the biggest mistakes of my almost 9 years in business that year.

It cost me.

It took me over a year to unwind and correct.

But, it also became one of my BEST learning experiences as a CEO - and it helped me improve my marketing, service, and deliverability. This lesson has been key to sustaining my success and supporting my clients to do the same.

It’s something I see almost every scaling business owner struggle with, which is why I’m taking you behind the scenes to unpack: The biggest mistake I made my first $250k+ year - and what it cost me.

I’m diving into:

  • The truth about fast growth and big results no one talks about - and the exact impact this mistake had on my business.

  • Why this is a “mistake” most business owners chase and how it can cost you long-term - plus, what you really need to focus on to sustain your success.

  • The high-achieving mindset pattern underneath this challenge and why breaking this edge is essential if you want to increase your revenue AND keep your results year after year.
