In today's episode, Kelly tears down one of the biggest myths in the online business world: that revenue is the ultimate marker of success. She explains why revenue on its own is an incomplete (and often misleading) measure, and why retention, reconversion, revenue quality, and gross margin are the real drivers of a sustainable, profitable business.
You'll learn how two businesses with the same revenue can have a 5× difference in take-home income, why so many entrepreneurs unknowingly sabotage their profitability in pursuit of "more," and how to set deeply aligned, purposeful income and impact goals for 2026.
Kelly also breaks down "The Four R's," the levers that expert-level business owners use to increase margins without increasing workload, and why this is the path to more peace, more profit, and more purpose in the coming year.
