Hey,

Welcome back to The Level and our November update on the Road to $50K MRR with Amanda Goetz.

In this issue:

• We double Amanda Goetz's MRR in three months.
• Why this matters for creators in the trenches.
• Brand-new course that could change your business (and your life).
  
  

Why it matters: We’re sharing this journey because we believe achieving $50K in MRR is realistic—even for creators juggling tight budgets, multiple roles, or family responsibilities.

Transparency in a Landscape Full of "Sharks and Charlatans"

In a creator economy where many tout impressive revenue numbers without transparency around expenses or customer acquisition, we’re committed to a different approach.

You deserve a clear view, not only of our wins but also of the strategy and sustainable growth practices that make this journey possible.

Our Progress So Far: Doubling MRR in Just 3 Months

We’ve increased MRR from $12K to $25K by leveraging a strategic mix of offerings and partnerships, including:

• Quarterly product launch: Added $5K in MRR (prorated over three months).
• Long-term brand partnership: Locked in $5K/month for 15 months.
• Revived Office Hours with new upsell tracks: Back up to $10K MRR.
• Recurring marketing gig: Brought in an additional $5K MRR.

Our focus is on sustainable growth, where we keep expenses lean and profit margins healthy—something that’s essential for any creator serious about consistent revenue.

3 Takeaways for Building Your Own Sustainable Revenue

1. High-Value, Recurring Offers
   You don’t need a massive audience to grow substantial MRR. High-ticket consulting or coaching can deliver premium value without the need for brand deals.
   
   Try this: Identify one high-ticket service based on your expertise and reach out to potential clients this month.

2. Transparent, Strategic Marketing
   Forget the flashy ad spend; real growth is in high-involvement, strategic partnerships that drive sustainable MRR.
   
   Try this: Find a partner with an aligned audience and propose a collaboration. Just one can create lasting impact.

3. Profit-First Spending Discipline
   Keep profit margins strong (40-60%) by cutting non-essential expenses while scaling.
   
   Try this: Review expenses, trim the excess, and free up cash without sacrificing quality.

Why This Matters to You

You don’t need a massive audience, but you do need a clear strategy, a willingness to work hard, and experts who can guide you. 

So I've created our new course—Creator to CEO—with you in mind. 👇

This is what Amanda Goetz said to me about the way I empower creators to run their businesses with clarity and confidence.

You can stop barely making it and begin to build a business of generational wealth. 

It starts with you becoming a top CEO of your own creator business.  That's why I've created this course for just for you. 

Top CEOs are not born, they’re built.

This course shows you how.

No business experience is required.

I know you don’t have time to get the 20 years of corporate experience that I have.

But if you are willing to make a $129 investment and take the time to commit to this course and put it into practice, you will drastically change the trajectory of your business—and your life. Full stop.

Love it or your money back.

This is how YOU go from Creator to CEO.

Turn your business from barely-paying-the-bills to creating generational wealth.
