Today my CPA’s office called. The secretary asked if I was sitting down.
She proceeded to tell me I’ll have to write a check to Uncle Sam for the same amount of money that used to be my pay for 6 months.
SIX. MONTHS. 💰
A few years ago, that would’ve made my stomach turn.
Today, I was excited.
As you read this you might think I’m crazy but follow my train of thought.
Entrepreneurship is seen as “sexy” right now, and let’s be honest, it kinda is. But it’s also a huge risk and LOTS and LOTS of work!
I’ve been doing my own thing for years now and the fact that I’m to the point where my business brings in enough that I have to pay taxes equal to what six months of my pay would’ve been in corporate America, to me, that says, “Girl, you’re making it! You’re doing it! You’re work is paying off!”
I look at writing that big check not as a negative thing, but a very positive sign showing my business is successful!
Writing that big fat check is a blessing.
It makes me feel abundant!
It makes me feel empowered!
It makes me realize banking on myself was the best risk I ever took!
I hope my entrepreneur friends get to experience this feeling! I hope you keep betting on yourself! If I can do it, so can you!
