Peter Vander Wall hit $40-50k monthly revenue but realized the business depended entirely on him. When he took a honeymoon in September, new sales stopped completely. He had recurring income from existing clients but no growth engine that worked without his presence.
Just seeing, like, a lot of close sales while I was sitting in Jamaica was pretty cool. I was hitting a plateau of like 40 to 50k a month, which doesn't sound like a plateau, but for me it was because it was so dependent on me being there. I got married in September and we were going to go on the honeymoon, and I'm like, man, how is this thing going to run if I'm not. If I'm gone for. Because up until that point of that honeymoon, if I wasn't there, the company necessarily wasn't making money, any new money anyway. We were making money on the clients and contracts we already had, but it wasn't making any more new money.
