If you’ve ever felt frustrated about starting each month at zero in your online business, this episode is for you.

In the early years of my business, most of my revenue came from live launches, courses, and workshops. And it worked. But once my business became our sole source of income after retiring my husband, the revenue roller coaster started to feel heavier.

In this episode, I share how I shifted from relying mostly on live launches to building layered, predictable revenue through:

• A focused membership model
• Aligned affiliate marketing
• One core cohort-style offer

You’ll hear how my revenue mix evolved over time, why trust-based income matters, and how designing your business intentionally can create stability for your family.

This isn’t about chasing passive income.

It’s about building a thoughtful revenue mix that supports your life and your impact.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why live launches built my foundation but not my stability
• How my membership became the heartbeat of my business
• The difference between passive income and trust-based income
• How affiliate marketing grew from 3% to 30% of my revenue
• Why one core offer is more powerful than constantly creating new ones
• The key questions to ask when designing predictable revenue

Key Takeaway

Predictable revenue doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens when you:

• Focus on one core offer
• Build strong relationships
• Layer in aligned income streams
• Design your business intentionally

You don’t need a huge audience for this to work.

You need consistency and connection.

If You’re Building an Online Business…

Ask yourself:

What percentage of my income depends on launching?
What percentage depends on trading time for money?
What percentage is recurring?

And how do I want this mix to look two years from now?

I'd love to support you in your journey.

Remember… clarity and impact come from action.
