My contractor makes $1M a year and can’t afford lunch
Amy Greene Financial Coaching
“It’s a write-off, so why not?”
That’s what my contractor said yesterday as his brand new truck idled for hours while his team worked on our house.
He burned $50 in gas to save $15 on taxes.
When they finished, he anxiously asked for the final payment.
This man owns five new pickups. Pays $10K/month in vehicle payments. Over $1M in sales last year…
Yet still racing to the bank to make payroll.
My contractor will gross $1M this year and net…anxiety.
Meanwhile, I know entrepreneurs doing $400K who take two-month vacations.
The difference? It’s not revenue.
Here’s what nobody tells you at $1M: You can gross seven figures and still check your bank balance before buying lunch.
He spends like he earns $1M, but he doesn’t.
Running that hard when you’re already successful? That’s not hustle, it’s a broken system.
The entrepreneurs who actually sleep at night?
- They drive paid-off Toyotas while banking 30%
- They take the same salary every month
- They keep six months in reserves – always
You know who never talks about tax write-offs? People with actual wealth.
They’re too busy quietly keeping their money.
Look, I get it.
Maybe you’re not at $1M yet.
Maybe you’re past it.
Maybe you’re not even a business owner, you just like watching entrepreneurs figure things out.
But if you ARE running a business and you’re tired of the revenue rollercoaster dictating your life, here’s what I know:
I show my clients how to keep 30% of what they make…automatically.
No willpower.
No complicated spreadsheets.
Just a system that moves money where it belongs before you can touch it.
You built this business to order wine without checking the price.
To say yes when your kid asks about private cello lessons.
To stop doing mental math at dinner.
You already know how to make money.
The next level isn’t about earning more.
It’s about keeping what you’ve earned.
This isn’t about discipline. It’s about habits, mindset, and math.
That contractor?
Still racing to the bank.
You?
You could be wiring money from the beach.
Same revenue. Different system.
If you’re ready to stop performing wealth and start building it, let’s talk.

P.S. The truly wealthy? They’re not bragging about their car payments. They’re not even thinking about them. That could be you in 90 days. Grab your spot here.
P.P.S. If you’ve been clicking my calendar links but never booking, I’m curious…what’s stopping you? Hit reply and let me know. Sometimes the timing isn’t right, or my calendar and yours doesn’t jive, and that’s okay. But sometimes…it’s fear. And fear is just math we haven’t done yet.
