You did it. You hit six figures in your business. That magic milestone everybody talks about

six figures in annual revenue, $100,000, maybe more. So why do you still feel broke?

Why does your bank account feel tight? Your stress feels high. Your lifestyle barely is upgraded,

if anything at all. Today we're going to unpack this hard truth. Most founders stay

broke even after they start making real money. And today I'm going to break down why that

happens. I'm going to show you what to watch out for and what to actually do to fix it. So you're not

just building a business that looks successful on paper, but one that pays you

and grows your own personal wealth, and most of all, gives you freedom.

Welcome back to the $100 MBA show. I'm your host, Omar Zen Home, where I deliver practical business lessons three times a week,

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to help you start, grow, and scale your business.

I want to break down why six figures in business doesn't mean you're rich.

The first myth a lot of people have is when they're starting a business that when they hit $100,000 in business revenue that it's the same as $100,000 in personal income. It's not.

It's not even close. Those numbers don't mean the same. Okay. Let's break it down. Let's say your

business makes $120,000 this year. You might have like $ twelve thousand dollars in software and tools and

twenty four thousand dollars in freelancers and contractors you might be paying six thousand

dollars in stripe or paypal fees these are kind of like hidden costs we forget about

you might spend in a year twelve thousand dollars in travel and in conferences you might

spend three thousand dollars in office or co-working space expenses.

$5,000 in random stuff you didn't even plan for, things that just came up that you had to do.

And maybe $10,000 on ads to generate leads. Oh, and you paid yourself a modest $30,000 a year because you're

reinvesting in everything else. What's left? A business that's technically making you six

figures, but you don't, okay? And that's the first core reason most founders stay broke.
