So when we were making 30K a month in profit, my partners and I were only paying ourselves $2,000 a month.
But that was important, because even to this day, we still do that.
What's important about the lesson about the 30K a month is that 30K a month went to less than 5K a month because we got demonetized on Facebook.
And that's why it's also important that as a content creator, you do not own the content that you post once you post it on that platform.
Instagram owns it, TikTok own it.
They can decide at any time to ban you and your content.
That's why that diversification piece is very important because you, again, you can't control what happens to your content if you get a content violation or a strike.
So you need to understand that and realize that you need to find a way to monetize.
Like you can't build a business off of just ad revenue.
Um, but what that lesson there did was because we were so good and diligent during those couple months of making only 30 grand and paying ourselves two grand just to cover our expenses and put everything back into the business is it gave us a couple months to go back to the drawing board and then figure out an appropriate way to kind of like monetize that made sense.
And, you know, even to this day where our businesses do one to 1.5 million a month in revenue, we do about seven to 800 K in profit.
I still pay myself less than 20 K a month, you know, and everything else is going back into the business, hiring, expanding, buying, you know, and investment, you know, cash flowing, appreciating assets.
So that's it right there.
Thank you.
I appreciate you having me.
