It’s awareness.In this video, I break down:Why understanding your numbers is the first step to freedomHow pricing mistakes and team inefficiency are secretly draining your profitWhat to track daily so your jobs and days actually make you moneyWhy being "too busy" is usually the biggest red flagAnd how the Academy isn’t another cost — it’s your multiplierIf you feel stuck, broke, or burnt out — don’t run from this.
