So one of my earlier mentors, she used to say, if I make $50,000 in a month, that's a bad month for me. And I used to be blown away 'cause I was like, wow, $50,000 a month's a bad month? So I was like, okay, I wanna hit that. I thought scale meant just do more, just grind more, just make more sales, just get more clients, just do more stuff. Well, my thoughts was that, well, if we wanna scale, we just get more clients, we just do more, you know, strategies to generate more clients. But I realized scale simply means duplication and multiplication. So scaling is all about how do I duplicate myself How do I multiply myself so if I decided to take a week off or go on a weekend vacation or 30 days off or whatever, the business could actually still run and grow without me?
