If You’re Making Less Than $300,000, WE NEED TO TALK

$300,000 sounds like a big fucking number, doesn't it?

But I have to tell you, that with the tools we have nowadays with the Internet, there's almost no reason why you shouldn't / can't be making this in your business—WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A POMPOUS THING TO SAY, I REALIZE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, #TOUGHLOVE + #TOUGHSHIT + #ENCOURAGEMENTFORTHEWIN.

(If you are making more than $300,000, fuck you on behalf of everyone who hates you. Not me, though. I would never hate you. #MONEYFORTHEWIN.)

Anyway, if you're not doing that kind of money, or you want to make more but can't seem to get there, there's a reason why, and it probably means that you need to pivot.

Pivot your message.
Pivot your angle.
Pivot your pricing.
Pivot your entire business.

Because it's really easy to sit there and be like WHYYYYYY???? Why isn't it WORKKKINGGGG? Why is no one BUYYYINNGGGG? I hate ALL THE THINGGGGSSS!

Oh my God it's so easy to fall into a pit of despair and convince yourself that you are actual shit and this is just proof and the rest of the world thinks you're dumb and that's clearly why you're not having as much success as the rest of all the other big fancy fucking bloggers, etc. (Listen, I don't mean to call myself a “fancy fucking blogger” like a real pompous asshat, but I'm going to anyway because I hit $300,000 eleventy bajillion years ago before Netflix was even a thing and that's not because I'm smart it's because I learned how to use the Internet like a wise little grasshopper, and if I can do it, YOU CAN, TOO.)

Instead of chanting along the lyrics to “You Must Whip It,” we need to sing, “You Must Pivot,” and I really wish this song existed because I would absolutely link up to it here.

Do you know how many times I've tested, experimented, tweaked, changed, re-aligned? It's an ongoing part of the process.

And it must be done when you're getting less than optimal results.

LOVE YO' FACE!

XO,

Ash
