We obsess over income minimums (rent, bills, the baseline we need to survive) but treat the top end as infinite. In this episode, Carly and Joe challenge the “always more” mentality and make the case for setting an income ceiling in your life-first business.
They dig into why more Money almost always comes with strings attached, and why “enough” isn’t a number, it’s a measure of what each next level of income will cost you in time, Health, and Relationships. Carly shares a practical way to calculate what a genuinely good life actually costs (vacations, Retirement, the coffee shops and live music you Love…no yacht required), and Joe tells the story of turning down a million-dollar deal at his last startup because it didn’t fit the focus.
You’ll learn:
This isn’t anti-money; it’s anti-earning-at-the-expense-of-everything-you-value. If your business exists to support your life (not the other way around), this episode is for you.
