Q2 2021 Income Report: The Unfiltered Story of Slow Growth, Low Profits, and $154,159 In 90 Days

It’s that time again! Let’s talk Q2 2021 and all of the wins and takeaways I’ve learned over the course of the last 3 months!

If you haven’t listened to my previous income reports, I invite you to listen to my past income reports first (if not all of them, at least my Q1 2021 report). These income reports aren’t meant to be consumed under the microscope of a single quarter, but rather build on each other to tell a cumulative story of my ever-evolving journey as a business owner.

I really believe in the power of talking about finances, which is why I am just so excited to be able to share with you about all the successes, struggles, number breakdowns, and lessons I have learned this quarter. As business owners, we need to have these kinds of conversations because it’s hard, and it’s REALLY hard when you’re doing it on your own and you have no reference for what’s normal and what’s not. So let’s talk about it!

Listen to find out what went on behind the scenes in Quarter 2 in making $154,159, how you should look at investments and their impact on your business, and why I’m NOT prioritizing my business this summer.
