In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm diving into what happens after you hit those big, exciting goals in your business. We often hear about the milestones and the celebrations, but what about navigating the feelings, the pressure, and the unexpected shifts that follow? As someone who has built a seven-figure business and 3x'd my revenue in a year, I'm pulling back the curtain on my journey and sharing the nuances that most people don't talk about.

I'm sharing my experiences, from writing affirmations for 20K months while making $70 to hitting my first 100K month and the surprising aftermath. I'll share why I believe your inner game is your business growth plan and how a commitment to your personal well-being is just as important as strategy. This isn't just about the numbers; it's about the whole picture – and I'm sharing it with you because I know that you, too, are meant to build a big, delicious business and live your yes life.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

Why hitting a big goal doesn't change you at your core, and how to navigate the "now what?" feeling.

The common question of "can I do it again?" and why it's so normal to wonder if your success was a one-time fluke.

The pressure I put on myself after my first 100K month and the lessons I learned about outsourcing vs. trusting my intuition.

How I came home to myself after feeling like I sacrificed my well-being for scaling.

Why associating hard work with sacrifice is a flawed belief, and how to invite growth in a different way.

How my focus has shifted in 2025 to "raising the floor" instead of just chasing the biggest months.

My philosophy that your business grows as much as you do and why the inner work is just as crucial as strategy.

The important analogy of leaders as bridges and how to navigate challenges as opportunities to strengthen your foundation.

How I'm going into 2025 with my feet on the ground, but with my eyes on the horizon.

This episode is packed with my personal insights and real-talk about what it's really like to grow a business. I hope it will resonate with you, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Ready for a candid conversation about what it’s really like to reach those big milestones? Tune in now!
