What does six figures in a coaching business really mean once taxes and expenses come out? Revenue and take-home income are two very different numbers, and confusing them sets women up for burnout or for talking themselves out of starting at all.

What happens to your financial security when your coaching business is the only plan? Business revenue and personal wealth are two different things, and one does not automatically produce the other.
