463: Why Most Entrepreneurs Stay Stuck at Six Figures (And How to Break Through)


Listen Later

Everyone online talks about reaching six-figures like it’s the ultimate goal, but what happens when you get there and realize you’re still overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid?

In this episode, Natalie breaks down why so many entrepreneurs get stuck at $100K and what it actually takes to break through. She shares the common myths keeping people spinning (like “just add more offers” or “wait to hire until you can afford it”) and reveals the real shifts, both strategic and mindset, that unlock sustainable growth.

If you’re ready to simplify, systemize, and scale in a way that actually feels good, this one’s for you.
