In this video, I’m sharing full transparency on exactly how much money I made in 2025 as an entrepreneur.

No fluff. No fake numbers. Just real business breakdowns.

Here’s what I cover:

My total income across bookkeeping, education, and real estate lending
How I made $550,000 from bookkeeping, $150,000 from education, and $400,000 from lending
Why I believe all three could become $1,000,000 businesses
And the real reason I’m choosing to focus on building a $10,000,000 investment fund

I also break down something most people don’t talk about:
👉 Time vs money

When you compare bookkeeping clients to private money lending deals, the difference is massive. The lending business is significantly more scalable and requires far less time per dollar earned.

This video is also a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m thinking about:

Scaling ZIP Capital
Potentially exiting or restructuring my bookkeeping business
Building a team and growing from $7M to $10M+ in assets under management
What it actually takes to go from a $1M business to a $10M business

If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or business owner trying to grow, this will give you a real, honest look at what’s working right now.

📈 My goal: Build a $10M+ business through real estate lending
🏡 Focus: Funding deals and scaling ZIP Capital
💡 Strategy: Less complexity, more leverage, higher return on time

I started as an Army officer, then worked as a warehouse manager before discovering accounting. Eight weeks into my first accounting class, everything clicked. That moment changed my life and led me to build a profitable bookkeeping business from scratch.

In this video, I walk you through:

• How I got started with less than $1,000
• Why learning the basics of accounting matters
• How I landed my first clients with only 300 Facebook friends
• The exact social media strategy I used to grow
