“Everyone’s chasing 7 figures — but what if that goal is quietly ruining your peace?

Everyone’s chasing the 7-figure dream — but is it freedom, or just a fancier trap?

In this week’s episode, Becky and Ruth get honest about the obsession with hitting £1M and what it really costs freelancers, founders, and property investors chasing the next milestone.

They share their own early-career “7-figure fixation,” what they learned from scaling too fast, and why boring wealth might actually be the kind that lasts.

Key Takeaways

• Bigger isn’t always better — growth without intention leads to burnout.
• Revenue ≠ profit. Don’t confuse shiny numbers with real wealth.
• Over 50% of UK business owners report poor mental health from financial stress (Simply Business, 2025).
• Diversification and slower, more aligned growth create sustainable freedom.
• Your “enough number” is probably smaller — and closer — than you think.
