Why My Best Revenue Month in 15 Years Was Completely Unforecasted
In March 2026, I had the highest revenue and highest profit month of my 15-year career, and the most interesting part about it is that it was completely unforecasted and unexpected.
If you know anything about me, you know I am a planner and a control freak, and every woman I work with is cut from the same cloth. We want to see the numbers, map the strategy, and understand exactly how a result will be produced before we move toward it, and that is part of what makes us effective. It is also the part of our wiring that is being stretched right now, because my best month ever did not come from a new launch or a more complicated funnel. It came from the opposite.
Every single one of my private clients sustained or grew their revenue and profit in 2025, in a year where a lot of industries saw decline, and that is not a coincidence. It is a testament to the caliber of women they are, how ethical they are, how in integrity they are, and how congruent they are with their word. The more I reflect on the results in my own business and in theirs, the more I see the same pattern: remarkable results are coming from being more intentional, more data-driven, and more willing to trust ourselves, not from adding one more thing to the plate.
The Over-Complication Trap Every Ambitious Woman Falls Into
Inside Scaling Season, which is my three-month sales program that opens for a 48-hour enrollment window only following each City Girls event, I had a conversation with my clients this week that I want to bring to you.
Most business owners try to generate more sales by adding more things. A new offer, a new platform, a new ad set, a new lead magnet, a new channel. I have fallen into this trap myself more times than I can count, because creating is genuinely exciting for me, and building new offers and new spaces for my clients lights me up. And also, when I look honestly at where the results come from in my business, the answer has never been the newest shiny thing. It has always been the intentional relationships and the strategic foundation underneath everything.
The women I work with are capable of executing on almost any strategy, so the issue is never effort or ability. The issue is that we are constantly told the path to growth is to be omnipresent, to show up on every platform, to run more ads, to layer in more complexity, and most of us are doing that without ever stopping to ask whether any of it is actually producing a result.
What Your Data Is Already Trying to Tell You
In that same Scaling Season conversation, I asked my clients to pull their top three sources of clients over the last three to six months, or further back if they could go.
One of my clients owns a dental practice, and when she pulled her data, the overwhelming source of her new patients was Google search. So I asked her the obvious question, which was how consistently are you working on your SEO, and is there a blog in place to support that. The answer was no to both. She is already performing well in the exact channel that is producing the majority of her clients, and nothing was in place to pour gas on that fire. That is where we started.
I have another client who owns two chiropractic practices, and the franchise model she is inside of relies on running a significant volume of paid ads. The agency managing those ads was unresponsive, the messaging was off, and the spend was meaningful. We made the call to pull the ads entirely, and her practice is more profitable now than it was when they were running. That is a real number on a P&L, and it happened because we were willing to question an assumption the entire franchise model is built on.
The question I want you to sit with is this. What if, instead of asking what else you should be doing, you looked at what is already working and asked how you could expand and deepen in that specific area? Most of the women I work with are one or two structural decisions away from the result they are chasing, and they have been conditioned to look for the answer in the next new thing instead of in the data already sitting in front of them.
The Five Types of Wealth and Why Financial Alone Will Not Fulfill You
I am in the early chapters of a book called The Five Types of Wealth, and it divides wealth into five categories: time, social, mental, physical, and financial. I love reading other people's takes on things I already teach, because the different language and different framing always offers something.
Here is what I want to be clear about. We cannot devalue financial wealth, because you need to be in a position to comfortably make choices for yourself and your family, and a business that does not produce real financial results is not sustainable. And also, when financial becomes the only measure, the playing field collapses into a single question of whether you are making enough money, and the rest of your life becomes collateral.
The question I have been sitting with is whether I can succeed financially and also be healthy in my body, healthy in my marriage, healthy in my brain, and actually present with the people I love. That is the version of success worth building toward, and it is the only version that produces fulfillment on the other side of the revenue milestones.
When I trace back how my best month and my best quarter in 15 years were actually created, the answer is almost hard to believe. It came from being ethical. It came from being in integrity. It came from following through with my word. It came from prioritizing genuine connection and treating people right. If I laid that out as a business plan in a strategy call, it would sound like it could not be true, and yet I am watching it come to fruition now, after making hard choices, after shedding things that were not serving me, and after learning to trust the voice in my head that has always known the answer.
The Observational State I Want You to Build Into Your Week
Between the move to Texas, the house showings, the waiting to hear back from buyers, and running a business inside all of it, I have been forced to get honest about what I can and cannot control. And the practice that has carried me through is what I call the observational state.
The observational state is the time and space you give yourself to step back and actually look at your business and your life from the overview position. How much of what fills your days is actually producing a result? How much of what you are doing is draining you and taking away from your quality of life? How much of it are you doing just because you think you should? These are questions you cannot answer when you are heads down in execution, and they are the exact questions that produce the kind of reflection that changes the trajectory of a business.
Why City Girls Is the Room Where This Work Actually Happens
Everything I have been writing about in this post, the intentional relationships, the willingness to trust yourself when the data says one thing and the shoulds in your head say another, the space to see your business and your life from the overview position, this is exactly what City Girls is built to produce.
I want to be specific about what that looks like. You walk into a dinner on night one with 19 other established female founders who have all said yes to the same kind of work you are doing, and the conversations start immediately. The next day is a full-day working session where I am in the room with you, and the strategic conversations happen alongside the real ones about your team, your delivery, your marriage, and what you actually want the next year of your life to look like. You leave with relationships that turn into clients, referral partners, and friends, and with the kind of clarity that does not happen when you are heads down managing everyone and everything at once.
This is the same model that produced the quarter I wrote about at the top of this post. Intentional rooms. Real conversation. Women who treat their word as currency. The willingness to get on the plane, clear the calendar, and book the flight because you understand that the right room changes the trajectory of everything that comes after it.
We have four cities remaining in the 2026 tour and each of them is already about halfway sold. Women are flying in from across the country for every single one, including a client coming to Charlotte all the way from Portland, because the math on one weekend of the right room versus a year of trying to figure it out alone is not close. If you have been clicking the link and closing the tab, I want you to read that pattern as information. Something in you wants to be there. Trust it.
