This is your 100K wake-up call AKA why six figures needs to be the floor (not the dream) Are you building your business like a real business… or are you secretly gambling your time, energy, and money away on what-ifs and maybes? In this foundational episode, I’m breaking down exactly why $100K is the floor of what your business should be aiming for next year. Not the ceiling. Not some wild, distant dream. The goddamn baseline . This is the wake-up call that I want everyone in my audience to hear — especially if you’ve been treating $5K months like a goal instead of a stepping stone. I’ll also share the big change I’m making in 2026 (starting with a free live workshop on December 3rd), what I mean by being "profitable and boring," and why your business isn’t a hobby, a hope, or a gamble. Here’s what you’ll learn: Why six figures isn’t luxury — it’s dignity The mindset trap that’s keeping you stuck at $2K, $5K, even $8K months How to stop building from the past and start planning from the future Why a $100K plan isn’t just possible—it’s your responsibility The exact math behind what it takes to pay yourself well Why reverse engineering your revenue is the smartest move you can make 🎟️ Get your free ticket for the live workshop: Reverse Engineer Your First 100K Year (Dec 3!) https://courtneychaal.com/100k-workshop 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned: Book your $100K Roadmap Call with me!
