“I love you no matter what.”

by Belinda Rosenblum

“I love you no matter what.”

As I sit on my meditation rock by the lake, I can’t control the feelings washing over me. Sad, blessed, angry, peaceful,… each moment bringing a new emotion. 

I start to notice the nature around me in a new way. I am now hyper-present to…

The leaf that floats down from the tree and lands next to me.
The birds chirping and fluttering around.
The sun shining through the trees and seeming to make it’s way through just so it could warm me.

This week marked the 20 year anniversary of my father’s passing.

Some years, the day passes as any other day.  

But this year, with a 7 year old daughter, 9 year old son, and 22 year old step-daughter that won’t get to know their grandfather, or perhaps with the overlap of the Jewish holidays, the missing is more present.

Or it could have been the feeling of my Dad smiling down from heaven when the sky took my breath away with those dramatic angel rays coming through the sunset.

But as I sit staring off at the water, I hear a voice in my head reminding me,

“It will be ok Belinda. I love you no matter what.”

Again, “It will be ok Belinda. I love you no matter what.”

I remembered fondly when I would hear that from my father.

When I was growing up, my father would reassure me each time I ventured out into unchartered territory — whether it was a tough high school exam, my swim competitions, or my travels without parental supervision.

Whenever I got scared as I was about to take a risk, he would remind me that whatever the outcome, I had a forgiving smile, a warm hug, and a celebration waiting for me.

I was loved.

So I could return after the risk, tell the truth about how it went, and all would be ok. We would always find the lesson.

I want that for you too.

To know, in your heart, that it is safe to take a risk, to step out of your comfort zone, to learn — and you too will be loved no matter what happens. (Yes, especially to learn how to confidently handle your business money and own your CEO mindset, without any fears, shame, or uncertainty… because that can feel scary at times!)

What’s your CEO salary? 

You might think that, as the owner of the business, you are just stuck paying yourself whatever you can with whatever’s left from your revenue. You might not be thinking about a salary at all.

If that’s where you are, you’re not alone. 

(Today starting NOW and tomorrow at 12pm ET, I’ll be on Instagram live talking about this exact topic — watch me here.)

So many of the business owners I’ve worked with tell me they’re not sure what they can safely and consistently pay themselves, or they’re making way less than they want to or what they could make in corporate.

If you run a business that is making money, you deserve to pay yourself a living wage. And yes, even a real salary.

The question is… how much should that be? 

How do you determine the number and, more importantly, how do you make sure you have enough positive cash flow to maintain your salary?

It’s all about creating money management systems that make high income possible, even-higher cash flow the norm, and shorter work days a constant. (So you can get off the frustrating 6-figure hamster wheel — more on that on today’s live training.)

In fact, that methodology is exactly what I teach you when you join the Cash Flow CEO Accelerator, and the waitlist is currently open!

$100k in revenue doesn’t feel like enough because… it isn’t. 

This isn’t a “you” problem. We are all hearing “just make six figures and you’ll be set” but that just flat out isn’t true. 

The goal may not even be $200k or $300k. 

Yes, 6 figures in revenue is great. 

But that revenue means nothing if your SALARY or take-home pay is still not enough — whether you are paying yourself $0, $5,000, or something else per month.

If you’ve been working your butt off, way more than you want to (like even putting in nights, weekends, or 12-hour days), and watching your revenue soar but still not reaching your personal income goals… then just making even more money in the business won’t fix that.

Instead, let’s turn our sights toward a new goal.

A $100k SALARY PAID TO YOU. 

That means that your revenue is high enough you’re able to comfortably pay yourself a minimum of $100k per year. Sounds amazing, right?

Can I give you some real (and a little bit blunt) advice?

Your offers need to change as your business changes. 

I think of it like clothes. Our bodies change as we get older, have kids, exercise (or not!) regimens, or go through health challenges.

We can’t always wear the clothes we used to wear — and honestly, they don’t feel as good as clothes that fit our bodies as they are now.

The same goes for your offers.

Yes, even if that specific package or service got you to your first $100k year. 2022, and especially 2023, are nothing like 2020 and 2021. 

In 2021, we were still in the middle of a pandemic. Many of us saw heavy growth in the education space since March 2020 and throughout 2021, but are starting to struggle to keep that growth up through 2022. Now, the economy is right-sizing and our businesses are correcting from the big boom that so many of us saw in recent years.

But you can continue your exponential growth during this time if you know how to structure your offers properly. (Think of it like this: If you find offers that match the real current needs of your to-be clients.) 

The most important thing is having offers that match where you want to go or how you want to grow. We can outgrow our offers — and the offers that help us get to $100k (mainly customized, 1:1 services) don’t work to get to $300-500k+.
