If I Wanted to Make My First $100K in 2026, I’d Do This

In this video, we're going to go over the five-step process that you can follow to build a $100,000 a year lifestyle business in under 12 months and which you can work through to build a million-doll business in hopefully around 3 to 5 years. So, if you [music] would like a step-by-step process that you can follow, let's dive in. All right, so this is what the road map looks like for building your multi6figure or even low sevenfigure lifestyle business. [music] Over here, we have a line of roughly what revenue is going to be. Everyone starts out at zero. Over here, we have an inflection point at $100,000 a year. Over here we have a plateau point at around 10 million. Over here we have 1 million a year. Over here is about 3 million a year. And you can see the graph starts to plateau out around about this level which highlights the fact that generally lifestyle businesses don't really scale beyond 10 million a year. So if you're okay with that, then we can continue watching this video. And then over here between 100k and a million, we've got about 300,000. And in general, every tripling of a business revenue is when things start to break and when like the paradigm shifts and when like things become a little bit different. So that's why we're sort of dealing in triplings rather than in other kind of units of numbers. This is what we call phase five This is where you have true financial freedom because you've got a business that's doing somewhere between 1 million and probably 5 million in revenue. Maybe it's somewhere between 50 and 80% margins. So you can do the maths on that. It's a pretty good place to be. Over here we have phase 4, which is leverage. This is where you're scaling from about a 100,000 a year to about a million a year. And this process takes about 2 to 3 years. Um some people do it sooner, quicker than that. Some people do it like slower than that. This phase, phase five, you kind of hang around in phase five forever because if you have a lifestyle business, then once you hit like the seven figure mark, you actually just kind of want to be hanging out in this range for the longer term. And so really, this kind of range here
