Lauren Bateman recounts her business journey in the music industry, explaining that as she developed skills and systems (e.g., guitar lessons, a website, producing music), her income growth accelerated. She notes concrete milestones: earning a first $100,000 which made subsequent six-figure and seven-figure earnings come faster as momentum and skills compounded.
When you skill up in life, your ability to make money happens so much faster. When I first started in business, it was just me. I had a little website. Guitar is getting my leads, I was getting my students. And it took me time to build up my clientele. And then when I got started in the music business with the music, schools were like, I made that first hundred thousand dollars. That second hundred thousand dollars came so much faster than the first hundred thousand. And then you make your first million and then your second million and things start kind of snowballing.
