When Business Gets Hard: How We Turned a $60K Month Into $180K in Two Weeks

Listen Later

September felt like full-blown chaos. From unexpected setbacks to revenue nosedives, this month tested every ounce of resilience we had. But instead of crumbling, we decided to step up — to think, act, and lead like the future version of ourselves who could handle anything.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the hardest (and most transformative) months of our business. We share how we went from a 40% revenue drop at the start of September to finishing the month at $183K, and what exact strategies helped us turn things around.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

  • How we reframed a “failure month” into an opportunity for creative problem-solving

  • The promo strategy that brought in over $120K in just two weeks

  • Why re-engaging your “pay-per-visit” clients might be your biggest hidden win

  • The mindset shift that helped us stop spiraling and start acting like our future selves

  • Lessons in leadership, team morale, and staying grounded when your business feels chaotic

    • This isn’t about sugarcoating the hard stuff — it’s about choosing who you’ll be when things go sideways. Because growth doesn’t happen in comfort. It happens when your back’s against the wall and you still choose to show up.

    Takeaway:

    When everything feels like it’s falling apart, you can still create your reality. Be resourceful. Move fast. Stay creative. And start being your future self now.
