Your small business could be the key to financial independence, early retirement, and more income than your W2 is paying you. But, most small business owners don’t understand the best way to grow their income stream. With a DIY mentality, you could be stuck doing the skilled work, answering the emails, picking up phone calls, bookkeeping, and spinning ten plates at the same time while your business fails to grow. Instead, you must step out of the “solopreneur” role and into the “business owner” mindset that can help you quickly make a six-figure income while working for yourself.

Today’s guest Amy took a big risk, leaving her job to start her physical therapy practice. She’s been slowly building up her income to a stable monthly amount but wants to spend more time on money-making activities in her business and less on administrative work that she could easily hire out. With a few quick calculations, Scott and Mindy devise a scalable way for Amy to start bringing in six figures while outsourcing all the work she doesn’t love.

And even though Amy wants to make more income, she’s not obsessed with hitting FIRE fast. Instead, she wants a slow path to FI, one where she can focus on raising her son, spending time with her family, and helping the patients that need it most. So if you’re stuck in a small business or side hustle that takes too much time while making too little, stick around for some stellar advice from Scott and Mindy!
