Most of them aren’t keeping $10k.
After all expenses, subscriptions, salaries and more. It’s way less.
Your first client won’t pay much. (You might be working for him unpaid)
Your Cold Calls and Cold DMs won't get any respond everytime. (It's fine even experts struggle with this)
This is the part no one posts:
rejections,
low-paying work,
slow months.
Everyone shows revenue. No one shows the process.
So stop comparing.
Focus on:
• Improving your skill
• Communicating better
• Getting real results
• Staying consistent when it’s not working
Whether you’re at $1k or $100k—the rule is the same:
Show up. Do the work.
