Feeling Discouraged by Income Comparisons? Here’s How to Stay on Track and Achieve Your Goals

You might hear, “$20K a month isn’t a lot of money. Just wait until you’re making $20K a day!” 

But here’s the thing… to the womenprenuer struggling to hit those high-figure months, hearing this can be discouraging. It’s easy to let comparison steal your joy when you’re working hard but still not reaching those big sales goals.

And if that’s you sis, know I see you and I understand. Please remember, that comparison can often lead to self-doubt and frustration. 

Just because someone else is making $20K easily a month doesn’t mean you’re not doing enough or you’re doing something wrong. Your journey is unique to you and your experience. What really matters most is your progress and growth. 

Comparing your current income to someone else’s larger number can feel like you’re not measuring up, but that’s not always the case.

So let me give you some solid advice to help you get in position. ⤵️

Before you set your sights on those high-income targets, focus on building a strong foundation. Something we can scale up. This includes knowing what’s working in your business, address what’s not, and build a reliable cash flow. 

🧡 Learn which parts of your business make you revenue (what are your money generating activities?)

💜 Know your weak areas so you can improve them

🧡 Strengthen your cash flow (diversify your income, up your pricing strategy, manage expenses better, etc)

🩷 Break down your goals into achievable milestones (for example: if you’re currently averaging $1K/month maybe you should make $3K-$5K your next goal not $20K) 

💜 Celebrate your achievements to keep you motivated and focused on your goals

🩷 Track your sales, review your marketing analytics, and adjust your strategies based on what the data shows, not how you feel


If you’re struggling to reach your income goals, consider seeking help from a mentor or coach who can provide guidance and support tailored to your needs.

When The Truth Get's Twisted & You're Left To Drown

It’s incredibly exhausting when you’re drowning, flailing, barely keeping your head above water, and people can’t see it or don't want to.  Like you’re out here fighting for your life, and instead of throwing you a lifeline, they’re either telling you to figure it out on your own or asking why you didn’t save them . Like… how? I can’t even save myself. And let’s not pretend this isn’t a thing .  How many people battling addiction, struggling with mental health, or even unaliving themselves were treated this same way?   Does anyone ever wonder how they got to that point or did they just detach and judge them?  Were they left to fend for themselves because, apparently, helping them wasn’t anyone’s “ responsibility .”  If it’s not our moral obligation to help each other—especially the people closest to us—then what’s the point anyway? Yes, there are situations people need to handle on their own.  Yes, there are lessons they’ll only learn through struggle....

Sis, It’s Time to Rebuild and Step Into That Confidence You Deserve

Over the last few years, life has been giving me lessons I didn’t even ask for. I was married for five years (we’d been together even longer), and recently, my husband and I decided to part ways. I’m not gonna lie—this new chapter has been uncomfortable. Like, really uncomfortable.  But it’s also been the kind of discomfort that forces you to grow.  For so long, I felt like I wasn’t fully me in that relationship. Now? I’m rediscovering who I am. Which I guess is perfect timing because I’ll be 30 next year.   I’m focused on rebuilding and showing up for myself again. 🫶🏽✨ And let me tell you, it feels so good.  I’m starting to see myself in the mirror and recognize the woman I’ve always been.  If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or like you’ve lost yourself, sis, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too, and I’m here to help you find your way back to you.

Would You Take Your Own Advice? Be Honest.

You ever notice how people will give advice like it’s the key to life, but when you ask them if they’d follow it in your shoes, they get quiet real quick?  It’s like they’ve got all the answers until the spotlight’s on them  and it’s giving ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’  And, honestly, I’ve been there too. I'm no better. I’ve had those moments where I’ve given advice I wouldn’t even take myself.  But self-reflection teaches you a lot about how and why you give advice and why sometimes, we need to check ourselves. Let's unpack that!
