Surplus Stack

How I Plan to Make $300,000 in 2026


Listen Later

#003 - Eduek is sharing her full strategy to make $300,000 in 2026. She breaks down how she chose the number by reverse engineering her three-year goals, why 2026 is her rebuild year, and what it is actually going to take to hit that income goal without burning out.

You’ll hear how she is setting a non-negotiable get out of bed fee, tightening up her income streams, tying each stream to a specific financial goal, and why she is adding a nine-to-five for stability while she builds stronger cash reserves.

  • How to reverse engineer income based on goals, not current salary
  • The get out of bed fee and why her baseline is $3,000

  • The five income streams she is focusing on plus one new stream in 2026
