In this episode, I’m answering that question and sharing four big reasons why your business is not profitable, and how you can combat them with actionable advice. If you’re struggling to make a profit in your business and you feel overwhelmed and unsure why, this is the episode for you!

Some key takeaways on what might be keeping you from profitability:
One of the very first things to address is your money mindset. Talking and thinking about money can bring up a lot of emotions like fear of success, self-doubt, and scarcity.
Your prices might be too low. Pricing depends on so many variables, but to put things into perspective, calculate how many clients you need to hit $10K in revenue in a given month or quarter. If the number you get feels overwhelming, it’s time to raise those prices!
Spending all your money in the name of growth. Focus on setting up strong financial habits in your business so you know exactly how much money you have available to invest back into your business after you pay expenses including your salary.
