E13 What They Don’t Always Tell You About Business and Money Wins 💰💯

Pollen: For Creative Entrepreneurs with Diana Davis

Do you compare yourself to other entrepreneurs? The grass always looks greener on the other side — if you’ve compared your business to a 100k or 200k business on social media, you are not alone!

What does it mean to have a 100k or 200k business?

In this episode of The Pollen Podcast, we’ll talk about how money, business, and revenue are often portrayed online. Sometimes, how people frame their financial accomplishments can be misleading. But if you have a firm understanding of revenue, you can build a 100k or 200k business, as well.

Listen to this episode to learn the truth behind revenue and financial wins.

[07:30] Becoming Money Literate

• Often, we compare ourselves to people with six-figure businesses.
• Just because someone has a 100k business does not mean that the 100k is going into that person’s pocket.
• Women should celebrate their accomplishments and empower themselves to create successful businesses.

Diana: “Because as women entrepreneurs, we don’t celebrate this stuff enough. So I want to celebrate this and show you and be an expander for you that you can do it, too.”

• Pay attention to your triggers and learn more from them.

[14:40] What Goes Into Our Pockets

• Diana Davis Creative makes at least 200k a year in revenue.
• You can hire staff without using a payroll or providing health insurance.
• For example, Diana’s employees are paid by the hour, and are paid each week.
• Rather than giving her hires a paycheck, they send her an invoice.
• Her business expenses will come out of her yearly 200k.

Diana: “Saying, I have a six figure business, which I never thought I would have, I never thought I’d put six figures in my pocket, I’m really not. Because there’s so many expenses coming out of it elsewhere.”

[18:29] Final Advice

• Be careful with comparing yourself to others.
• Don’t jump to conclusions.
• Let it be easy to receive money.

Diana: “The more taxes you pay, that means the more money you’re bringing in and your business, so we should be so stoked to pay more taxes.”

It’s tempting to compare ourselves to other businesses that seem more successful than ours. But the money that a business makes isn’t always the money that goes into the owner’s pocket 💰. So, don’t be discouraged by others that seem more successful; success is possible for you, too!
