What came in
Pull every dollar of revenue into one place — probably for the first time. No analysis yet. Just the full picture.
Most solopreneurs know their best month. This section is about knowing the real number — the average, not the highlight. That's what we build from.
What went out
Make the invisible visible. Every expense — the ones you know, the ones you forgot, and the ones quietly draining your margin.
You're not looking for things to cut. You're looking for clarity. Some of these are investments. Some are habits. Knowing the difference is the first step to spending on purpose.
What it actually costs to serve a client
Beyond your time. The tools, platform fees, and support that go into delivery. This is what makes pricing sustainable — or not.
| What you charge | — |
| Tool & software costs | — |
| Contractor costs | — |
| Processing fees | — |
| What's left before you pay yourself | — |
This isn't about whether your price is too low or too high. It's about whether you actually know what you're working with. A lot of solopreneurs discover here that they've been paying to work — and didn't realize it. That's not a judgment. That's information.
Does the math work
Given everything you now know, is your business set up to support the life you want to build?
| Personal expenses | — |
| Taxes set aside | — |
| Retirement contribution | — |
| Business operating expenses | — |
| What your business needs to generate | — |
The retirement question isn't a bonus consideration. It's part of the math. You are your business's most important asset — and you deserve to be building toward something, not just sustaining what's in front of you right now. If that number felt uncomfortable to write down, that discomfort is information worth sitting with.
When the math doesn't work — what to do next
If your numbers revealed a gap, you're not behind. You're informed. That's the better position — now you can make a real decision instead of a hopeful one.
This is the lever most solopreneurs reach for first — and sometimes it's the right one. But more revenue only solves the problem if the rest of the math holds.
- Can I raise my prices on current or future clients?
- Can I serve more clients without sacrificing delivery quality or my capacity?
- Is there an offer I'm underusing that my ideal client actually needs?
- Do I know what I need to charge per client to hit my Section 4 number?
Not about cutting everything nonessential. About making sure every dollar going out is earning its place.
- From Section 2 — what did you identify as forgotten or no longer useful?
- Are there tools you're paying for that duplicate each other?
- What would you cut first if revenue dropped 20% next month? Start there.
The lever nobody wants to talk about — and the one that sometimes tells the most important truth.
- Is closing this gap realistic in the next 90 days?
- Am I working toward a number I actually want, or one I think I'm supposed to want?
- Am I measuring against a timeline that was never realistic?
You've done work that most solopreneurs never do. What happens next depends on what the numbers told you.
You can see the path. You need support staying on it.
Live workshops, guided financial rhythm work, and a community of solopreneurs doing this alongside you. This workbook is just the beginning of what we do together.
