Why Hitting $1M in Revenue Can Change Everything
Lesson: Aim for the Million-Dollar Mark
Many “business owners” are really just employees of their own creation, working longer hours with less freedom. In all honesty, I’m in that stage myself, leaning on my operating system to break free over the next two years. After coaching and building dozens of small businesses, I’ve realized that the majority don’t reach that $1M annual revenue mark—which is exactly why it should be your first big milestone.
Insight: Options Open at $1M
- Build a Team: Once you have around 15% free cash flow from hitting $1M, you can afford to hire the right people to handle tasks you hate or simply aren’t good at.
- Step into True Ownership: With systems and teams in place, you’re no longer trapped in every detail. You move from “fancy job” to genuine business owner.
- Create Personal Freedom: Whether you want to take a real vacation or focus on the part of your business you love most, that revenue milestone gives you the choice.
When your business finally serves you, that’s when the real magic happens. It’s about more than money—it’s about designing a life you want to live.
Action Item: Reevaluate Your Goals
If you’re stuck working 80-hour weeks in your own venture, ask yourself: “Am I aiming for the milestones that free me, or just staying afloat?” Set $1M as a target, and plan how to get there—then watch the world of opportunity open up.
